Colton Jumper turned me into a newt!

Welp, there's always next year in Gainesville


Edit: I'm joking btw but him playing definitely scares me and concerns me and reduces my confidence in the streak ending.

Is NDSU still the #1 FCS team? Would love to see them show everyone what a fraud Iowa is

Didn't we already do that two seasons ago and then Stanford last year?

It's like Kirk Ferentz is everyone's favorite somewhat mediocre coach...

Ferentz just got an extension.

The guy must have pictures on someone.

I mean, really, it's Iowa. They've got SOME history, but most of it was with Hayden Fry, and every time it looks like Ferentz has really stepped in it, he turns in a performance that you can't fire him over. Joke all you want, but Iowa went to the Rose Bowl, and even though they were clearly overrated, a 12-2 Rose Bowl season is...pretty nice.

I think Iowa recognizes that Ferentz is going to keep their program stable and bring some good seasons to balance out the bad ones, and they don't feel like getting on the coaching carousel and taking a shot in the dark. With Ferentz you're PROBABLY getting mediocrity, but hey, you may get an Orange Bowl or a Rose Bowl or something. Get rid of him, and who knows?

Good point.

On the other hand, they are pedestrian at best most years since his initial run ended in 2005 and he makes $4.5 million.

So basically the other players supposedly having good practices at MLB and being interchangeable was another load of crap from Butch? I agree with catbone- I hope Jumper gets exposed enough times that Shoop is forced to try someone else. Now is the damn game to do it, not next week. Butch's stubbornness and unwillingness to adjust will be his downfall here. I expect this crap from him but am surprised that Shoop is on board with this ridiculous plan too. And what if Jumper gets hurt- it's not outside the realm of possibility- what's their backup plan then?

NDSU knocks off FBS teams like it's nothing. Granted, they don't play heavy hitters, but they beat McElwain's first CSU team, a Snyder-coached 8-5 KState team, and bad Minnesota and Iowa State teams in recent years.

Fortenberry said Bates will play some in the middle as well.

Our LB depth is pretty terrible.

so, if nobody can beat 53 out, are they all busts?




Are they not trying anybody else? they can take fall practice reports and shove them where the sun dont shine. between lb and oline reports from fall seeming like everybody was interchangable and good and everything, sunds like it was all bull****.

I wouldn't say no one beat him out. Can't argue that McDowell isn't a much better player on the field than him. Also, no one else has even gotten a chance. Someone might show out once actually given a chance. Happens all the times that people are bad practice players but great in game players and visa versa.

I cringed when he said "they're gonna ride with Colton jumper until they feel there's a reason not to"


So unbelievably stubborn

almost every snap Jumper has played in is a reason not to. Shame if we lose FL again because of the coaches being stubborn......They did the same thing with Jack Jones redshirting until it was so terrible that they had no choice but to play him.
