My issue that you guys let jealousy, resentment and a general annoyance for cocky NDSU fans cloud your opinion on Wentz. If he played for any other FCS school other than NDSU (or MSU/EWU) you experts would be singing his praises.
And for the record, the “ginger” beat Iowa State 34-14 in his first start in front of 54,000 fans and was housing the Griz until he was hobbling around on one leg. Somehow I doubt he was intimidated by our stadium and fans.
Nah, man. I think I like him more because he's from an FCS school. I might hate him more if he was from Ole Miss or some perpetually overrated SEC school. He seems like he's a nice guy, but I just don't see him as a starter for long. I feel bad for him that he got drafted by Philly. He would get a fairer shake elsewhere, IMO.
Also, if he wasn't intimidated by our stadium and fans, I bet he was cold as shit.
