i know everyone is on the hating urban band wagon, but if you get a chance to get on youtube and check out their spring practice highlight reels they put ND's to absolute shame....pretty embarrassing actually.

they still look faster than shit and practices seem sooo much more uptempo and physical....granted maybe they allow more access to their practice with the film guys.

a lot of good drill work that i wish i had more access to, to learn a bit more

Go take your Urban hard on since you're such a big fan of his and post on a OSU board.

Practice videos are worthless.

FWIW, the Golson transfer conversation is why I was surprised that Kelly said prior to spring ball being over that a starter wouldn't be named until August. Not that we didn't expect it. Obviously the world knows that Golson doesn't really have that luxury and now will have to answer questions about it, hence not wanting to be interviewed. Not sure why Kelly couldn't have just stayed the course and said ill name the QB when one separates from the other.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

So maybe our next coach will practice like Meyer. Lol.

Or maybe our next coach will be Meyer. /s

His answer gives me pause. I'm glad he's honest about it and he wants everyone 100% committed to the task at hand but if Golson leaves because some coach gets in his ear about "guaranteed starter", then we lose our chance at a playoff run.

I'm a big fan of Zaire but we need Golson here as well. Between the two of them, I believe we can operate an offense that is downright destructive to opposing defenses. So many weapons, so many brutes on this O.

[Crazy Balki]

Watched couple, its just completely diff video capturing/editing styles. OSU is nothing but play after play, ND is slo mo,talk, couple guys holding eachother, then a couple catches. Also osu camera guys right in on action

This 100%. The only thing this proves is that UND.com needs to up their game in the footage department. I think up until this year, O$U was definitely practicing more physically than us, but now I'm not to sure. We've definitely upped the intensity and physicality levels a few pegs.

 

[AKRowdy]

According to the Brokhorst article on ISD, he said the practice was intense and the best one he's been too, even better and more physical than OSU.
