NDSU vs. Georgia Southern - Semifinals

[No_Skill]

Too much to read. I'll take your word for it.

Would pictures help?

:D

[fencereagle]

Thankfully we put our speed on the defensive side of the ball.

And the documentation supporting your "we're super duper fast on defense! I'm serial!" position can be found where...?

[FIDO-GATA]

Would pictures help?

:D

Probably not. Not at this point. I'm completely burnt out on analyzing this game. I'm just ready for tomorrow at 2:30 (Eastern Standard Time of course!)

Well when we provided evidence that blew up your earlier theory, you clammed up.

I'm with you brother.

How exactly do you document defensive speed outside of looking at film?

I guess this is a quote from one of the coaches in our conference talking about NDSU vs GSU's option....

SIU Head Coach Dale Lennon-"I like North Dakota State," he said. "I think they've got talent on defense. I think their speed is right where you need it, and their versatility with their front seven is pretty impressive. And I think they have the coaches who know how to defend it."

[fencereagle]

My sincerest appologies for having a life. I'll try to shed those pesky responsibilities so I hpcan hang on your every post.

I notice in your 13 averages you neglected to mention the fact that the 7 other hideous teams with losing records that NDSU played had scoring averages in the teens and low twenties. It works just like grades, a couple of 50s bring a bunch of 100s down.

Exactly. You can't. All speed is relative. Our offensive players don't have to be faster than the fastest person on your team. They just have to be faster than the person chasing them. That's how fast speed offenses work.

You are georgia brilliant.

You are georgia brilliant.

Based on the posts here over the last week I'm clearly N Dakota brilliant too, but really there's no need for overt compliments. Have a nice day, I have responsibilities to attend to.

Well unfortunately I am a parent of a small child so I have no life :)

the average of the games in which NDSU played teams that were sub .500 was 13.1ppg

The thesis of your argument is that the reason NDSU has such a good scoring defense is because the teams they play aren't very good. This is clearly incorrect. They certainly did better against the not so good teams but they did quite well against winning teams and more importantly, playoff teams.

[FIDO-GATA]

Yeah, my wife is WELL aware that she needs to run interference tomorrow afternoon. He'll sit and watch a little bit but not for too long.

[ngineer]

Looking for a good one tomorrow. Best of luck to both teams in staying healthy. Whoever wins will need to rest up from what we saw tonight by the BearKats.

[Gil Dobie]

Well life got in the way tonight, my wife has a sinus infection. Left for the clinic when Sam had a 28-7 lead, came back and it's 31-28 with 8 minutes left.
Tomorrow is reserved for the Bison game though.

[GSUhooligan]

BWW was fun. Nice to meet Bison Babe in person. The back and forth banter was all in good fun and I'm looking forward to seeing some more bison fans at the tailgate tomorrow. Did anyone else notice the trivia champ throughout the night? GSUWIN FTW!

One of them was a Big 10 team...the other two we were up big and once we got up by 30 points we just put it on cruise control.

[GSUhooligan]

I saw one confirmed Georgia Southern fan at the mall tonight. Shook his hand and welcomed him to Fargo. Older gentelman in is 40's-ish. Seemed pretty excited about the game. Cannot wait for tomorrow!!!

Choosing to overlook the fact that you're wrong and that two of those opponents did go over their season average in scoring against NDSU, I'd like to counter with gaudy stats of my own.

Opponent Average PPG allowed Pts alllowed vs. GSU
Samford 24.8 31
Tusculum 35.5 62
W. Carolina 45.6 52
Elon 32.6 41
Chattanooga 19.7 28
Furman 26.1 50
Presbyterian 31.5 48
App. St. 23.8 17
Citadel 23.4 14
Wofford 24.3 31
Alabama 9.1 21
Old Dominion 27.8 55
Maine 23.9 35

Total avg. 26.8 37.3

NDSU allowed 13.7 PPG against offenses averaging a combined 25 PPG
NDSU is holding opponents - on average - to 54.8% of their average

GSU has averaged 37.3 PPG against defenses averaging a combined 26.8 PPG
GSU is scoring - on average - 58.2% more points than their opponents usually give up.


Like we've been saying all week --- Your defense is good. Our offense is better. Take that statistical advantage and throw in the fact that NDSU has no way of preparing for the quickness with which it has to react and defend, and you[ve got a GSU win staring you in the face.

You can't even follow a simple message board thread...why should I even care about the trash you write? The poster I responded to only cared about .500 or better teams...which is why I bolded the .500 or better teams. That is the only trend I was talking about.

Yeah GSU's offensive numbers are impressive. I never said otherwise. NDSU's defensive numbers are impressive...and GSU fans were saying otherwise. So guess what? I corrected them.

Not sure why GSU fans get so jumpy about things. This match up is all about a great defense vs a great offense...that is why it is so intriguing.

[BisonBabe]

Swag & I had a great time visiting with both NDSU & GSU fans last night....was great to see the passion you have for your team. As I said to more than one person there can only be on in the end. The game will come down to who makes the least mistakes and will be a close game.

We made up a couple batches of Pudding Shots to bring to tailgating in a few hours...Eaglesrus knows how to get ahold of us. I encourage all you GSU fans to walk over to the tailgating area and get to know just out nice we all are (you only met a small sampling last night)

Going to be heading out for a while then to the game so probably won't be able to check in on here until after the game late tongiht as I have a company christmas party to go to after the game. Hopefully will be able to toast the Bison as they plan a trip to Frisco but either way here's to a good game for both teams and may the best team win with no injuries.

[The Brief]

"Late arrivals -- Brad Reiner, Kasey Harrison, Kevin Harrison and Derek Sills arrived in Fargo, N.D., last night at 10:30 central time after leaving Statesboro at 1:30 Friday afternoon. They called their very understanding wives on the way to catch their Atlanta flight to Minneapolis. The foursome will bring the number of Eagle fans who made the trip for the game in the Fargodome to nearly 300."

Not bad considering how long the trip is.

Good onya. I was literally as late as yesterday afternoon looking to see how much a flight from Columbus to Minneapolis or Fargo would be. I'm glad the game is almost here so I can get over my homesickness.

Not a smart call for NDSU on a third and one bootleg

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Hm, a short pass to Veldman would have worked well in that case.

[Mr. C]

Let's see what the triple option can do.

[Gil Dobie]

Typical slow start for NDSU, need to pick it up.

[Ginsbach]

Those are some seriously ugly uniforms.

J.J. Wilcox had a great game coming back from injury last week and is off to a good start today with 8 yards.

If NDSU can make Shaw keep the ball, that will help them. 3rd and 6.

I think they are awesome, guess we disagree.

Oh my god, that was a terrible call.

[Mr. C]

Some loud boos from the Fargodome after the fair catch penalty.

[Mr. C]

Oh my god, that was a terrible call.

As a punt returner you CAN'T do that. Not a terrible call at all.

[inpsite1919]

Good Call.

[Gil Dobie]

[Mr. C]

Well, NDSU is doing better already than ODU or Maine could do on defense.

Ugh. they're doing the Bisson thing.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Yep. There are so many key players on this team that are only Sophomores, so exciting.

[Gil Dobie]

The room-mate connection gets a 1st down

[Mr. C]

Interesting to see the Bison going to the pass such much early.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

That's right GSU. Keep collapsing those linebackers in fear of the run....

[Gil Dobie]

Argh! Penalty

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Doesn't the d back have to turn around and NOT grab the hand of the receiver?

[Mr. C]

The replay made it look like a good penalty call.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Dangit DJ. Remember the JMU game? Run downhill!

[Mr. C]

Nice blocking on the screen to McNorton, even though the Bison didn't get a first down. File that one away.

[Mr. C]

Bad bounce over the heads of the punt defense. That must be some seriously hard turf there.

Why not pass interference on that push off on the TD?

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Why not pass interference on that push off on the TD?

Because Scott has to eventually play the ball instead of the man.

[Mr. C]

Should have been offensive pass interference when Holloway pushed off on Laron Scott again.

[Mr. C]

Because Scott has to eventually play the ball instead of the man.

Scott didn't do ANYTHING wrong. What you are coming up with isn't in the rule book.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Should have been offensive pass interference when Holloway pushed off on Laron Scott again.

Well it wasn't. Next play.

[Gil Dobie]

Should have been offensive pass interference when Holloway pushed off on Laron Scott again.

I rewound the TIVO and it could or could not, depending on the angle.

Scott has his hand on first, then Holloway.

[Bison06]

Should have been offensive pass interference when Holloway pushed off on Laron Scott again.

DB has to play the ball if he wants that call.

[caribbeanhen]

Should have been offensive pass interference when Holloway pushed off on Laron Scott again.

would have been a ticky tack call plus the Dback wasnt playing the ball

[BisonHype!]

Man... That Triple Option is just killing us!xlolxxrotatehxxlolx

[Cleets]

If you don't put the ball on the ground you don't have to go through this...
No excuses - GSU coughed up the ball and it cost them

[Mr. C]

North Dakota State 7
Georgia Southern 0

4:45 left First Period

[NoDak 4 Ever]

This commentator is an idiot.

[Mr. C]

would have been a ticky tack call plus the Dback wasnt playing the ball

Inconsistent, though, since they called it on the previous drive.

[caribbeanhen]

Shaw getting punished this week, unlike last week when Maine was allergic to him

[Mr. C]

Man... That Triple Option is just killing us!xlolxxrotatehxxlolx

I wouldn't get too snarky about that yet

[Mr. C]

Shaw getting punished this week, unlike last week when Maine was allergic to him

A lot of us wondered why Maine wasn't more physical with Shaw last week. He gets hit a lot in SoCon games.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Patriot League refs...lol

[Bronco]

I just found a place to view this game

The dome looks fabulous

[Cleets]

I wouldn't get too snarky about that yet

EXACTLY...

[caribbeanhen]

Inconsistent, though, since they called it on the previous drive.

Dback for GaSo was turned the wrong way

[bobbythekidd]

Oops. Wasted that TO

[Gil Dobie]

I wouldn't get too snarky about that yet

After watching the game last night, it's not even close to time yet.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

I wouldn't get too snarky about that yet

Agreed but they are handling things better than I thought they would in the beginning.

[Mr. C]

DB has to play the ball if he wants that call.

No he doesn't. It was a bad call.

[Mr. C]

Third and four upcoming for GSU

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Another defensive stop

[Mr. C]

The Eagles went with the pistol for the first time after not running it at all last week against Maine.

[caribbeanhen]

Shaw gets hit hard again - Maine why not you?

[Gil Dobie]

Stupid penalty

[Mr. C]

Another penalty on NDSU

[NoDak 4 Ever]

that was terrible. I'm talking about the dopey limp and the penalty.

[Mr. C]

Shaw gets hit hard again - Maine why not you?

They looked so confused, they didn't know what to do.

[Pards Rule]

Not a good time for a penalty - Bison had momentum!!

[BisonHype!]

Some good acting by the punter....

[Gil Dobie]

Penalties are as bad as turnovers :(

[caribbeanhen]

they are well prepared for the TO...

[Mr. C]

Shaw had probably his best week ever throwing the ball last week and he looked good on his first pass today. The Eagles are on the move. Four-down territory when they get on the other side of the field.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Not a good time for a penalty - Bison had momentum!!

The defense is getting more and more confident though so that might be something.

[Cleets]

That Bison D is FOR REAL

[Mr. C]

NDSU is doing well in stopping Swoope on the dive thus far.

[Bronco]

Bison are defending the option very well

[Mr. C]

And here comes a fourth down opportunity

[Mr. C]

Neco Hickey with a first down on the motion pitch.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

still no breakout so this is good.

[Mr. C]

Nice block by Robinson.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Why do they always sound like they are saying Fargodome with such disdain?

[caribbeanhen]

They looked so confused, they didn't know what to do.

That is true

[Cleets]

That punt penalty is really a turnover by NDSU... (period)

[Mr. C]

After one period

North Dakota State 7
Georgia Southern 0

May not stay that way long

[Bison06]

No he doesn't. It was a bad call.

It was not PI get over it dude. He created separation, WR's get away with 10x worse.

[Bronco]

This good game with loud crowd should be on cable instead of Wyoming/Temple with no one in the stands

[caribbeanhen]

This good game with loud crowd should be on cable instead of Wyoming/Temple with no one in the stands

why is that game on and not this one

[NoDak 4 Ever]

God those pictures of Fargo are making me so homesick..

[BisonHype!]

This good game with loud crowd should be on cable instead of Wyoming/Temple with no one in the stands

Temple is already up 21-0... it isn't even a good game

[NoDak 4 Ever]

The Bison don't look one bit scared. I love this.

[Mr. C]

NDSU looks better prepared and is playing at the speed of the option so far. Also is smart to make Shaw keep it.

[caribbeanhen]

Shaw hit by a missle

[Mr. C]

The Bison don't look one bit scared. I love this.

Why would anyone be scared playing in a game like this? These are very good teams.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

You stick those bowls where the sun don't shine. this game is amazing.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Why would anyone be scared playing in a game like this? These are very good teams.

but Bama

[Pards Rule]

No!! PI no!! Cant be

[caribbeanhen]

Showers was not even in the bathroom

[Bison06]

Uncatchable if they call PI here it is an Fing joke

[boonegoon]

live feed?

[Pards Rule]

No!! PI no!! Cant be

Correct call - I should be a ref today! And I'm PL too!!

[Mr. C]

Good coverage by Williams

[NoDak 4 Ever]

damn right. and it wasn't interference anyway. 4th and 10?

[Bison06]

Going for it in that situation wreaks of desperation. Why would they do that?

[Mr. C]

Wilcox couldn't hang on. NDSU holds.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

wow. that deep and no points. this is amazing.

[X-Factor]

After one period

North Dakota State 7
Georgia Southern 0

May not stay that way long

Your right. Bison will score again

I'm wondering if the flag wasn't to either mark the out of bounds or to call illegal touching.

[caribbeanhen]

GaSo better not get to far behind or it will be a long long afternoon

[Mr. C]

Going for it in that situation wreaks of desperation. Why would they do that?

No desperation at all. If you knew anything about GSU that is what the Eagles do all of the time. They are that confident in their offense. Wofford plays the same way with its wingbone option.

[Bison06]

I'm wondering if the flag wasn't to either mark the out of bounds or to call illegal touching.

After watching the replay I think it might have just fallen out of the guys pocket, it was hard to tell.

[Mr. C]

I'm wondering if the flag wasn't to either mark the out of bounds or to call illegal touching.

You throw your hat for going out of bounds.

[BisonHype!]

Good hold by the Bison. This may get crazy if GSU is going to be going for every 4th down deep. I think they recognize they are going to have to take those chances to score points to even have a chance against this team.

[Bison06]

No desperation at all. If you knew anything about GSU that is what the Eagles do all of the time. They are that confident in their offense. Wofford plays the same way with its wingbone option.

4th and 5 I would agree with you. 4th and 10 from the 35 is not confidence in your offense, it is a lack of confidence in your defense. Pin them deep and play ball.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

that's how you run DJ

[caribbeanhen]

Bison should go deep right now -

[Mr. C]

After watching the replay I think it might have just fallen out of the guys pocket, it was hard to tell.

No, it was thrown for pass interference and then ruled that the receiver was out of bounds and uncatchable.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

4th and 5 I would agree with you. 4th and 10 from the 35 is not confidence in your offense, it is a lack of confidence in your defense. Pin them deep and play ball.

Jastram could kick it from there. especially indoors.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

No, it was thrown for pass interference and then ruled that the receiver was out of bounds and uncatchable.

You have a hard on for PI. Williams never touched him.

[Mr. C]

4th and 5 I would agree with you. 4th and 10 from the 35 is not confidence in your offense, it is a lack of confidence in your defense. Pin them deep and play ball.

Not any reflection on the defense AT ALL. Also, they have a kicker who is accurate, but doesn't have a strong leg.

[BisonHype!]

No, it was thrown for pass interference and then ruled that the receiver was out of bounds and uncatchable.


He didn't even touch him. Text book coverage.

[Bison06]

You sure know alot for not being in the head of the coach.

[Mr. C]

You have a hard on for PI. Williams never touched him.

I was just explaining what the flag was for. Williams pushed him out of bounds and the officials got the call right in the end because of the reasons stated. Get a clue.

[caribbeanhen]

keep picking on Scott

[NoDak 4 Ever]

He had his arm hooked. That was bad

[Bison06]

Not any reflection on the defense AT ALL. Also, they have a kicker who is accurate, but doesn't have a strong leg.

If that is the case, it will be a long day for coach Monken. He obviously doesn't understand the field position game in football.

[geoff]

We can't get a call

[Mr. C]

You sure know alot for not being in the head of the coach.

Maybe it is because I have covered that team in the Southern Conference for almost 20 years. And maybe I know what is in the head of the coach, considering he is a friend of mine. I just spent a good chunk of Monday with Jeff Monken and the Eagles before and at practice.

[Mr. C]

If that is the case, it will be a long day for coach Monken. He obviously doesn't understand the field position game in football.

Monken is one of the best coaches in FCS. You don't understand the Georgia Southern triple option.

[Mr. C]

keep picking on Scott

Just don't let Scott intercept one, or it could be taken to the house. He is great with the ball in the open field.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Monken is one of the best coaches in FCS. You don't understand the Georgia Southern triple option.

It's a good thing Scotty Hazelton does.

[Bison06]

Monken is one of the best coaches in FCS. You don't understand the Georgia Southern triple option.

Haha, not punting on 4th and 10 on the 35 is STUPID. Defend your buddy if you want.

[Mr. C]

NDSU is doing a better job on the option so far than Alabama did.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Haha, not punting on 4th and 10 on the 35 is STUPID. Defend your buddy if you want.

THIS

[Mr. C]

Haha, not punting on 4th and 10 on the 35 is STUPID. Defend your buddy if you want.

If you had seen how many of those plays had been turned into TDs over the years, you wouldn't be making dumb comments like this.

[Bison06]

If you had seen how many of those plays had been turned into TDs over the years, you wouldn't be making dumb comments like this.

Worked well for him in this instance.

[Mr. C]

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.

[Cleets]

I bet he punts now
