I guess the key to defending the option was just to tackle everybody HARD.

They convert on fourth down about half of the time.

GSU will need to go for every 4th down and trick plays. Hope they have more.

they key to the fake punt is holding is way more tolerated on special teams. good play though. I really hope they don't try to punt the rest of the game.

I guess it is just luck that GSU is the only team in FCS to make the semifinals two years in a row. Some of you NDSU fans need to act like you've been here before.

You know what's funny there big dog. We haven't at this level. Sometimes going against the grain is smart, other times being unconventional just to be unconventional is dumb. Moving on.

Noob question, why do they call it the "triple option" when there are 4 options to go to in the backfield? Wikipedia says "The triple option is based on the option run, but uses three players who may run with the ball instead of the two that are used in the standard option run." But there are 4 players who may run when you include the QB.

You can run the dive, have the quarterback keep the ball, or pitch to the option man on the wing. Thus the triple option.

I am impressed with the scheme NDSU is using. I questioned how they would defend the option but they adjusted well. They got out of the Tampa 2 stuff and are basically playing a 4-3 with a monster back and man on the corners.

It does appear that GS has adjusted by going to the Wishbone/Gun look in those last few series. NDSU will have to make a slight adjustment again for that because they started getting beat up the middle.

Im just glad halftime came when it did. The Bison D has played outstanding, but you could see that being on the field that much was taking a toll.

Should be a great second half.

GSU Eagle
December 17th, 2011, 03:15 PM
Well this is about what I expected. I was surprised by the fake field goal there at the end of the half. I say kick it and try to get within 4. The first possession of the 2nd half for GSU will show alot in how this game will go.

Blueandwhitefightfight
December 17th, 2011, 03:16 PM
Observations from the first half:

NDSU is as good as I expected. The skill guys on defense are just as fast as y'all said.

Our defense is playing aggressive today. At times, too aggressive. I think Coach will make adjustments at half. He always does and is the MASTER of halftime adjustments.

We started off the game looking lost. We played timid and scared. We couldn't execute and were very sloppy. We fumbled the ball on a disgusting routine play. ****

Then the 2nd quarter came around and we apparently woke up and realized life wasn't so bad in South Canada and started playing ball.

On a side note, NDSU is blowing our blocks up. We can't block for crap today. NDSU is getting off blocks better than anyone, including #2 Bama, has all year.

We need to use the rocket toss more.

Passing looked good for both teams.

I'm going to drink a beer now.

Shaw can actually throw the ball and I am not sure his arm may be what gives GSU a chance.

I have been a smart *** all day here, just having some fun.

Honest question though: Is NDSU faster than everyone expected a big, fat midwestern team to be. I honestly don't see a speed advantage either way.

Georgia Southern doesn't encounter that many teams that can match its speed. Outside of Appalachian State and Alabama, GSU has had a speed edge in most games this year.
