CAN AGGRESSIVE NDSU DEFENSE PLAY ASSIGNMENT FOOTBALL?

[heath]

Great win by Bison yesterday and impressed with pressure put on Lum. Georgia Southern is a different animal when trying to stop their running game.Can NDSU play disciplined assignment football and stop the option? They seem to play that pin your ears back and fly to the ball style.Should be a great game,and the winner should be the favorite to win it all.

I've given up on trying to pick a favorite. Montana is rolling right now, and apparently after this weekend, Sam Houston must be rolling too. Georgia Southern is an interesting team to figure out.

Yes.

[BisonFan02]

Yes. Their assignment this past weekend was to pin their ears back, disregard the rushing attack, and hit Lum repeatedly. The assignment will change this next weekend.

Bench the CBs and start four safeties in the DBackfield.

Blasphemy. Marcus Williams.

It's a lot more difficult than just playing assignments. If that's all it was about then everyone would stop it and we'd never score a point. I'm not saying NDSU won't be able to figure out a way to stop us because it's possible, but it's not simple as playing "assignment football."
