October 6—Grand Forks—UND quarterback Jerry Kaminski, leading the FCS with 19 touchdown passes, is also emerging as the Bison's top running threat. After running for 98 yards against Murray State, primarily via a daring move to elude defenders, Kaminski highlighted his dual capability. UND coach Eric Schmidt emphasized the team's focus on Kaminski's vertical abilities throughout the season, noting his improved pocket presence and his determination to master the art of getting upright.
Schmidt observed that Kaminski's recent improvement lies in his vertical movement through defenses and his ability to continue making plays with his arm even when under pressure. Despite similar rushing statistics this season compared to last, Kaminski's sack count, particularly against Nebraska, has significantly impacted his rushing yards due to the loss of critical yards on sacks.
Kaminski's passing and running statistics have improved noticeably, leading to his selection as the MVFC Offensive Player of the Week twice. His enhanced agility in finding receivers while running, as well as his ability to protect himself in one-on-one situations, has been particularly notable.
