Wofford vs North Dakota State

[Gaterrier]

NDSU's defense will not completely shut down Wofford's TO but they are not going to run for 400 + like they did against UNH. GSU ran for 186, I think, against the Bison.

IMO, Wofford needs to run for 300 + yards to win. I do not think they will get close to that.

Can't do it. That 300 yards seems way outta reach.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Oh, and our video board is bigger! Ha!

I don't doubt that. Not as many seats taking up room.

[Gaterrier]

And, by the way, Wofford does have a passing game. We call it pitch left, pitch right.

That was last year's defense. This years defense is giving up 197.5 ypg TOTAL.

2000 yd rusher Zach Zenner managed less than 100 yds total in 2 games against the Bison.

[Gaterrier]

I don't doubt that. Not as many seats taking up room.

Our in-stadium ski slopes are better.

We have more room to move around.

Our dome is retractable.

It begins and ends with Britenstein. The guy is an absolute horse. Good lateral movement and a bruising runner. Quite possibly the best running back in the FCS.

Some might call him a "system back" because he is in an option offense. Let me assure you that any team in the country would hand that kid the ball 20+ times a game regardless of their scheme. If NDSU stops Britenstien, they stop Wofford. Really as simple as that.

[IBleedYellow]

Alright, all of you people are calling NDSU fans cocky. I prefer to say we are confident. In the playoffs, only one team has shown that they were able to score on us. That was EWU back in 2010. Until someone shows up our defense, we will continue to have confidence in our defense. I have the utmost respect for any competition that we play, I just can't wait until they meet our defense, because I LOVE watching our defense while they are on the field. Especially in the Fargodome.
In the end, the games HAVE to be played. I can't wait for Saturday! You all have a great week, I will go back to lurking now.

[FargoBison]

Still think a lot of people discount NDSU's offense. That OL is big and solid....we have two solid backs and plus a QB that can run and can make some plays with his arm. Last year all anyone wanted to talk about was how NDSU would stop GSU's option and what ended up happening was NDSU running all over GSU and their manbearpig.

I like that he's a Payton finalist. NDSU feasted on 2 of the 3 Payton finalists last year.

Agree

We ran for 314 on GSU.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Agree

We ran for 314 on GSU.

Wofford is giving up 315 ypg and 16.83 ppg

NDSU is giving up 197 ypg and 11 ppg.

Dome field for 3 pts and it looks like at least a TD advantage.

Just remember that you have to take a knee in the end zone, if you don't plan on returning the kick off out of the end zone.

LOL i was just gonna leave it alone...but I see you couldnt resist.

[dungeonjoe]

GSU runs the TO correct? We held them to 7 points last year in the playoffs when they were the best offense in the nation I believe. So I think our coaching staff has a pretty good handle on how to defense it.
Some are accusing Wofford fans of being butbama or butUSC. Is this a case of butGSU?

[dungeonjoe]

LOL

It is only Sunday.......
Yeah and the GSU comparisons are flowing!

Nope this is a case of been there, done that. The buttBama crowd thought that game mattered, looks like it didn't. The butt-whatever you want to call SC will find out that game doesn't matter either.

Nothing new under the sun for the Bison.

[dungeonjoe]

We got another buttBama on our hands!

Like we told the GSU folks, those people didn't care one way or the other who or what you were.

Looks like I found my Wofford fans!
Yeah, we'll take your butbama and raise you like-a-GSu. Same tune different words.

[dungeonjoe]

Wow I complimented Wofford on playing well in a hostile environment last year and you cheap shot ASU. IF ASU is like a southern baptist church then i hate to ask what Wofford is like...
That would be a Methodist church, thank you. No snakes.

Been there done that works two ways, bubba. I cannot tell you how many times Wofford has been dismissed because of their size or their scheme. Funny thing is those teams that take us for granted either wind up with an L or a very hard earned victory. Compare us to GSU (now that is funny if you know our history) or Lehigh or whoever. Overlook us at your own hubris-filled risk.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

I'm basically going to dismiss you all week. That's just me.

Who won't be overlooking Wofford? Craig Bohl. If there is one adjective/verb that everyone has after every Bison win, it's "outcoached"

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Wofford 24. ND. 7

I don't doubt that Wofford could beat ND by that much. Don't you wish you could be playing them this weekend?

[swaghook]

Coach Bohl was at NDSU as an assistant coach when NDSU ran the veer option he knows a thing or two about option football and what it's strengths and weaknesses are. I put my faith in his ability to game plan a defensive scheme to limit Wofford's production from the Triple O. It's the play offs the team and coaches do not have the luxury of taking any team lightly they will prepare for the game just as they have for every other team they have faced. It will come down to the ability of the team to execute the plan, and in that I have faith in the Bison to do just that.

[Mike ayers]

I don't doubt that Wofford could beat ND by that much. Don't you wish you could be playing them this weekend?

You ND people are sensitive

Would you stand by that fix if money were riding on it? xeyebrowx

[ElCid]

I am thinking we should start playing word bingo with the ND, I mean ND St bubbas.

"One dimensional" "Scheme" "Fargo Dome" "ButtBama" and my favorite, "look what we did to GaSO last year" Ok that last one isn't a word, but you get the picture. Bingo!

Normally I would love to see the Mutts get beat as they have been our nemesis the last decade, but SOCON pride has me routing hard for them after reading some of the comments by the Bovine bubbas.

Go Terriers! Do us all a favor and please beat them.

[darell1976]

Yes, it is easy to dismiss when you are in denial. It works easier for you that way doesn't it. The difference between us that I am willing to concede my team could lose. I would say you aren't.

[swaghook]

I fixed his ND to NDSU. We are ND, you are NDSU remember.

Just checking. Might think you had completely lost your marbles(I think you are short one or so already considering your choice of teams. :p ) if you were backing the score as well.

[FargoBison]

I doubt ND

I have my doubts about Notre Dame as well.

[james_lawfirm]

My point is, there are many instances in which ASU has shut down an option team one year, and then the next got its tale beat.

I absolutely knew you would say something once I brought up ASU because you have this weird infatuation as to why I don't suck ASU's collective dick as a football team and it's predictable as well as annoying

What a complete *** you are. Collective dick? Now, there's an interesting concept.

You can kiss my collective ***. Right before the moderator deletes some or all of this here thread.

People are free to pick who ever they wish to win. The difference between saying "so and so" will win based on ones hopes and wishes is easy when it has no monetary value connected to it but when money is involved people tend to be more rational with their choice. I was just wondering if he truly believed that Wofford will win and by that margin.

It will blow by the NDSU vs SDSU thread count easily with all the SoCon posters besides those from Wofford adding to the count along with the NDSU fans and a few others chipping in for good measure. But it's all good just means this game has generated interest amongst the posters of AGS.

Yes NDSU beat GSU, a team that runs the triple option but NDSU has beaten 25 other teams and has won a national title over that same timeframe. I don't think we need to point to one game as to why we are confident in winning this one game.

I'm actually pretty glad the ODU/GSU game is on ESPN. I want to see the next team coming to the dome.

[BullDog85]

Going by the rushing defense per game stats:
Wofford is 4-2 against the top 100 teams in the FCS with both loses at away games.

The toughest rushing defense they faced in the FCS was GSU (Wofford lost that game) who gives up 130 ypg compared to just 67 for NDSU.
The rat dogs faced two of the top 4 rushing offences in FCS that run more than 300ypg so that'll skew their numbers. They also played SEC South Carolina and were tied with them going into the 4th qtr.

[Gaterrier]

It's so adorable to see all you teams who haven't won anything sticking together. It must burn your asses to see a team come in and win it all so quickly.

[dungeonjoe]

I'm actually pretty glad the ODU/GSU game is on ESPN. I want to see the next team coming to the dome.
Why? It will only make you think of a past opponent or what happened against them last year. Why bother with the new when the old fits you so well. I thought Southerners worshipped the past. You take it to another (past) level.

[BisonBabe]

I for one look forward to the game on Saturday. I never look past the current week although I dream of TX in January :)

Both teams will be preparing all week and ready for the game. Advantage to the NDSU players as they don't have to travel and will be able to sleep in their own beds.

We fans can puff our chests out all week but in the end the game will be decided by the players on the field. May it be a clean game where the Zebras do not impact the game with erroneous calls. Also I hope that there are no serious injuries for either team. This is a very physical game but in the end these are young men and I would hate to see any of them have a life altering injury from playing a game.

Sorry 85 brother, you must have missed the NDSU mantra of Bamabutt and SCbutt line they are posting. The fact that they have never played anyone on the SEC level is irrelevant. They are a good team but they fail to see that there are plenty of good teams as evidenced by Wofford's performance against the Gamecocks.

It'll be interesting to see whether or not Wofford continues their propensity to go for it on 4th down. I was surprised to see them go for it on 4th and short from their own 45 in the first drive against UNH. The announcers mentioned that they've gone for it on 4th down 20+ times this year. In a game that will most likely be a field position battle in a hostile environment they could really swing momentum against themselves by gambling on 4th down.

I hope they continue the trend because NDSU's defense has shown a knack for making big 4th down stops.

I was also very impressed with Wofford's defensive line watching the UNH game, NDSU's offensive line will need to play another game like they did against SDSU if they're going to have a consistent offensive game.

Believe what you want, it is some of the most racist crap I have read.


you only feel that way because you're an ignorant tool who blindly believes what your high school history teacher taught you. you cannot grasp the real issue, so focused you are on waving the bloody shirt, which is the States are SOVEREIGNS and enjoy the remedy of secession. even for abhorrent reasons. you see secession and read SLAVERY.

I want to thank all of you for your indulgence for my combative flaming on this board. It was fun and a good distraction. I bear no ill feelings toward the bison fans. I think the game will be closer than we think. It will soon be time for me to get back to my day job and I won't have time to be here as I have today. Ya'll take care...

[Wofford Oaks]

So here's the brutal truth about Wofford's offense. We are not slow generally, just at QB, which has been a significant handicap all season. Despite Breitenstein's chase for the Payton Award, this is one of the weakest offenses we've fielded in years, and against the better defenses on our schedule, we have struggled to score. For heaven's sake, we've been starting a walk-on third-string QB for the past month, though I must admit that it is debatable whether there's much difference between him and the first stringer. The bottomline about how unproductive our QBs have been this season: last year, our senior QB had rushed for over 850 yards going into the third round of the playoffs; this year at the same point in the season, all three of our QBs have combined for less than half that amount.

We didn't "loose" any games. We lost three. Ooh, the loud card. Let's play that one now. Been there, done that got the Montana T-shirt. We are supposed to lose ( or loose), I get it. But if we do, I suspect our losing will be more about our mistakes (turnovers and stupid penalties) than anything else.

Just got home today and catching up on this thread. Talk about wanting respect but not giving any. Wow. So if you lose it has nothing to do with the other team just you making mistakes. Ok.

Our front 7 is definitely a key to success. Our DL is always talented and this year it's no different, but our linebacking corp is superb as well. We have 2 all Americans back there, and 3 3-year starters.

Actually, we have probably 8 3-year starters on defense and multiple backups. We've had a lot of injuries in the past couple years, and I think the added depth has helped us. For now we're pretty healthy.

And that's exactly what I think could get him in trouble on Saturday. A stop gives NDSU a short field, momentum, and can whip the crowd into a frenzy. Wofford's best chance, IMO, is to play boring and try to pin the Bison deep whenever they can. I'm sure that's what NDSU will try to do to. But if he rolls the dice from his own side of the 50 on the 1st drive of the game like he did against UNH he's asking for trouble. Like I said, I really hope he does. Those types of plays are when the Fargodome gets the loudest and things get really fun.

Same with 80% of Socon games 5 of the last 6 years.

For a couple of decades, the Bison were an option team. The option lead us to 5 NCs in the 80's & early 90's and I remember it when I was there from '95-'00.

If we need a big play and points, we'll go for it outside of our own 40 in a short yardage situation, but if our defense is playing tough, we'll kick it.

All very true, but the key is "a Stop." Wofford's 4th down stat might be a little deceiving. Looking at the play by play stats, they are 13 of 22 but they do not miss many short yardage ones. Of those 9 misses 3 came against Lincoln (like it mattered probably with 2nd or 3rd string in). 3 came against USC late (dare I say SEC). 2 came against Cid (Dogs did have a good D that day). I don't think Bison stop any 4th and 1 or 2 by Wofford.

People are free to pick who ever they wish to win. The difference between saying "so and so" will win based on ones hopes and wishes is easy when it has no monetary value connected to it but when money is involved people tend to be more rational with their choice. I was just wondering if he truly believed that Wofford will win and by that margin.

The fact that you had to explain that to him/her is hilarious.

Political & Religious views should not be held against anyone. We all have the right to believe and feel the way we do. Also the political board has no bearing on this thread.

We do have strip clubs, pretty much C squad ladies most of the time. Nothing beats Vegas woffordgrad94, pity u don't know that. On a football note, I have been pulling for Wofford all season, they are a strong team. Being a Bison Nation girl, I want a blow out, but being a football fan I want a close hard fought game.

I like breasts and I like them all
They're so much fun to squeeze and suck
And that gets a girl ready to

I'm glad to see NDSU finally got rid of their space turf. While I think NDSU is rightly favored I think Wofford going to have some of you cocky NDSU fans chewing your nails by the 4th qtr. Those private school kids hit harder than you think and their going to take your strength and throw it back at you.Very underrated defense too. While they don't have that typical SOCON speed we and APP like to brag about, they're pretty fundamentally sound and they play smart football. Its too bad this is in a dome. This is the kind of game meant to be played in the open air!!!

[Darlinikki150]

Most of us sane Bison fans were worried last week with SDSU coming to town, same goes for Wofford. Gonna be a long week, and alot of energy come Saturday at 2pm. On a side note, why do you think calling us Canadians is a put down? it baffles my pretty little head...

[Pyroshane]

Eh we may have lost, but we still had more speed....

I've just never understood the southern speed thing. I was an Army brat growing up, and lived all over the place. I spent about four and a half years in Louisiana (Fort Polk), moving there halfway through the 7th grade and staying through graduation (graduating a year early). I have lived in Fargo since finishing high school (boy did I get some looks at the honors banquet when I was the only person not going to McNeese, Northwestern of Louisiana, Louisiana Lafayette, or LSU, but NDSU instead). I traveled all around Louisiana, East Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi while living there, and in general, the people down there seemed a lot slower than anywhere else I lived (Washington, Virginia, Maryland, Germany, and North Dakota). Again, this is just a generalization and doesn't apply to everyone I met, but people in the north just seem to walk faster, talk faster, and get s*** done faster, but they also seem to have less patience, get bored with things faster, get stressed over things faster, and demand much more instant gratification. People in the south in general lived more relaxed, laid back lives where they just didn't stress over things as often. Not sure which I prefer, really, and I think I have picked up traits of both, experiencing as much as I did.

I had a microbiology professor at NDSU who was originally from Georgia, and she talked all the time on how sluggish people seem when she goes back to visit family after living in Fargo for so long, and her theory was that the heat and humidity was responsible for making people more sluggish, while up here the cold winters make us want to get things done sooner so we can hurry back into the warmth.

My first example I had of the difference was when I went to my school for the first time to sign up for classes. Since I had moved to Louisiana from Germany midway through the 7th grade, and not all the same classes I had been taking were available, I had to sit with one of the administrators to work out a new schedule. I was discussing what I had taken and he put his hand up and said, with the most stereotypical southern drawl you can imagine, "Boy, you need to slow down. You're talkin' way too fast." About five minutes later, I got to experience my first ever tornado warning, with a funnel cloud that could be seen through the office window. Welcome to the south. I really enjoyed my time down there and have lots of awesome memories, but I honestly felt more out of place in Louisiana than I ever did in Germany.

You've heard Forrest speak, but have you ever seen Forrest run????

Case closed.

All very true, but the key is "a Stop." Wofford's 4th down stat might be a little deceiving. Looking at the play by play stats, they are 13 of 22 but they do not miss many short yardage ones. Of those 9 misses 3 came against Lincoln (like it mattered probably with 2nd or 3rd string in). 3 came against USC late (dare I say SEC). 2 came against Cid (Dogs did have a good D that day). I don't think Bison stop any 4th and 1 or 2 by Wofford.

Another fun fact. NDSU is 2nd in the nation for 4th down conversion defense. Only 8 attempts and only 2 successful.

4th and inches ends up a 2 yard loss.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

After watching more Wofford highlights, if they turn it over they lose. Fumblitis, but I suppose that is to be expected for a TO team.

Looking forward to watching this version of the TO, but as I mentioned earlier, I was more worried about SDSU.

[SC-T-Dogg]

I have to agree with Bison Fan, if Wofford puts the ball on the ground we will not do well. However, if Wofford does not fumble the ball I would expect a good game. One thing guaranteed, Wofford represents well and will not back down. That may not win the game for us but I feel this game will come down to mistakes. Who makes the least mistakes will win it. There are some good people up in ND, just hope you are a little sad come Saturday!!

[deez_na]

Wofford may have a solid run game like Ga So which will be huge but NDSU has heard this many times and typically the outcomes the same. Last year it was Ga So. then Sam Houston then Zenner was going to get his yards on us both games this year and finished for less than 100 combined in 2 games. I think SDSU has a better defense than Wofford maybe not by much but we put up 20 & 28 on them. I am looking forward to a great game this saturday but just don't see Wofford putting up enough to win this one.

Hey, good post!!!

Same can be said for the Bison.....when they turn it over they get into trouble. Indiana State capitalized on 3 INTs (2 pick 6s) and beat the Bison.

I like the TO. The Bison use to run the veer in the 80s and 90s and were pretty good at it.

Usually these games come down to turnovers and field position.

[NDSUBowler]

A well-executed TO offense is a fun offense to watch. I just hope Wofford isn't the one that executes well!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is only one team in the field that can beat the Bison. The Bison.

Go Wofford. Show those Canadians whose boss. xblehx


I'm glad to see NDSU finally got rid of their space turf. While I think NDSU is rightly favored I think Wofford going to have some of you cocky NDSU fans chewing your nails by the 4th qtr. Those private school kids hit harder than you think and their going to take your strength and throw it back at you.Very underrated defense too. While they don't have that typical SOCON speed we and APP like to brag about, they're pretty fundamentally sound and they play smart football. Its too bad this is in a dome. This is the kind of game meant to be played in the open air!!!

I agree.

This defense is ranked #1 in 6 defensive categories. Not too bad.

But your right, even in the Ind State game, their offense was anemic. The Bison beat themselves with TOs.

Saturday should be a good game.

These southern team should be thanking whatever higher power they worship that the Dome exists. I'd hate to see how their balls shrivel up in the cold weather.

I'll agree on the turf though. I played flag football on that stuff and got 2 raspberries that are still there almost 2 weeks later.

Augustana wouldn't have won it if it was sunny and 80 above. NDSU was a monster team in that era.

Yes, that's true but NCC teams always knew the deal. You can't tell me a southern team could come into that climate and say "whatever".

Plus with NDSU's TO. That was the sole reason UND brought in Dale Lennon as DC to stop that veer. Every game in the 80's and early 90's it crushed us. NDSU seeing Wofford's TO shouldn't be anything new to them.

Bohl was Don Morton's DB coach in '84. He is very aware of the veer.

Getting back to weather. I finally figured out when this Montana game everybody's talking about was. 2007? You have some 6th year seniors on this team that were even there?

[I-16Bandit]

As MUCH as I'd like Wofford to win, I just don't see it happening. Unless NDSU forgets how to play football and wets the bed like they did against Indiana State.

I have to say, having been to Grand Forks AFB a few times over the years, that is the coldest I have ever been in my life. I was there at the beginning of January a few years ago and it was minus 45 F with a wind chill at minus 50. So glad I was never stationed there or at Minot....brrrr.

Once, when I was in high school, the governor called school off for 2 days because the wind chill was supposed to be 80-100 below.

Under the old formula, that's about -45 with a 45 mph wind, neither of which are uncommon in the Red River Valley.

That being said, I'd move back there tomorrow if the wife would let us.

Having lived in both Montana and ND western Montana CAN get cold but not like ND and especially for the length of time it does in ND. I can remember going to Bison Sioux games in the mid 80's, and it was always the last game of the season. They were outdoors and crazy cold. Unless you live here you can't begin to understand.

But the fargodome, though not cold, creates its own problems. I really don't know which is worse.

I expected more from SDSU last week, but Wofford has a better defense than the bunnies. A one-dimensional team doesn't score more than a pair of fg's.....Bison 35-6.

The noise doesn't have to intimidate a team but what it does is removes the ability to communicate at the line. That means the O line has to go on the movement of the ball and removes that advantage.

It also removes the chance to audible which is the bread and butter of the TO scheme.

That's where it's going to make a difference.

[millwoga1]

If I remember correctly the high that day in 07 in Mizzoula was around 15 degrees. I don't think it snowed during the game but had night before.

I disagree. I think where it will matter is if it causes Wofford to have a couple of false starts causing a first and 15 instead of a first and ten. The penalities hurt the triple option a lot more than not being able to audible.

Wofford doesn't have a better defense than the rabbits. It's pretty close and could be argued but SDSU gave up 5 less yards per game and points per game were barely better too. It's pretty close.

[Reign of Terrier]

Even though Wofford played better offenses statistically. That's a fact.

App State, GSU, New Hampshire, all 3 top 15 offenses, all held to 17 points or less. I'm only taking a vague look, but I don't see many teams that SDSU played in the top 50 or so, or at least teams they performed well against.

Wofford's defense is better than SDSU's

UND was the last game of the year in 1987, every other year it was a playoff game ;) . Towson and Viriginia Union playoff games were some really cold games that I remember.

I guess I only lived there for 36 years, what would I know? having lived elsewhere I can tell you that it is ridiculously windy in Fargo. I mean stupid windy. -45 might be a rare occurrence but -20 isn't.

When the WC gets below -40, does it really matter? Your skin will freeze in seconds.

Exactly this. I was very pleased every time I saw SDSU's QB literally screaming at his teammates in a feable attempt to audible. My favorite was when he slapped his TE's a$$ trying to get his attention. I was happy knowing that his voice was probably just as shot as mine was at the end of the game.

Regardless, the Fargodome is one of the loudest venues in all of college football and Wofford WILL have troubles with it (unless they all learn sign language between now and Saturday). The 12th man is always welcome, especially in the playoffs. I think NDSU wins by about 14. Something like:

Wofford: 10
NDSU: 24

Although the above holds true for the entire month of January, I would just like to note that it is abnormally warm here. It is currently raining against my office window and if the temp decides to drop tonight, a ****storm will ensue tomorrow morning for rush hour.

I'm not worried about crowd noise outside of what that stuff normally does at big venues. Montana, Clemson, USC, GSU, App State, etc....we've played in loud venues before and played well/won. Sure, we had our fair share of false-starts, etc from said venues, and I wouldn't doubt the same will happen NDSU, but at the same time I don't think it will be something we're technically not "used to"

Unless your QB can yell louder than 100dB, you better get all your business done in the huddle.

[Hammerhead]

Indoor stadiums can create a level of noise that is nearly impossible with an outdoor stadium. People say CenturyLink Field in Seattle is loud, yet it isn't nearly as loud at the Metrodome on those rare occasions when the Vikings play well.

You will find its earily quiet in the dome when the Bison Offense is on the field. Your team may get used to the noise as the game progresses but I don't know how you can prepare for it.

[IBleedYellow]

Keep underestimating the 12th man at the Dome. It just makes us louder when you false start.
