So now we are not only scheduling FCS opponents but accepting FCS players. What is happening to our football program?

Welcome aboard, Chris!

Very good Portal pickup, along with Sot. And he’s only become more important as the season has gone on.

See what can happen when you have concerns about an important position and you address it through the Transfer Portal?

Let's also give credit to coaching/game plan in this highlight. First play of the game no one knew Shrader was that banged up but Smith stays in his gap and doesn't over pursue leading to a potential big scramble up the middle. That was obviously built into the game plan because there's no way a big man would stay there and not chase the QB when left unblocked.

Pretty close to zero chance he gets drafted but i think he’s out of eligibility due to the ivy’s not recognizing the Covid year so have at it.

That’s kinda shitty.
To be fair, it wasn't like he played that year and it counted against him.

Essentially the Ivy League opted out of football and that was effectively his redshirt year, because he played more than 4 games in '18, '19 and '21.

Good dude. Hope he finishes up a masters. Degrees from Harvard and ND will carry some serious weight. Someone might take notice of those bench press numbers though.
