Wofford vs North Dakota State

[NoDak 4 Ever]

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.

The ESPN guys called it a "mute button" on Saturday.

[BisonFan02]

Well, I'm done trying to welcome the Wofford fans over at their board. I guess we are unwashed and/or pigs... I suppose that is what I get for trying to read an opponent's board.

Thats a good description. How was this ESPN announcing crew?

Pretty brutal as usual but better as the game progressed.

[steelbison]

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


Impossible to compare because they didn't play common opponents. Could they be better? Sure but the only way we will find out is Saturday.

A couple of things your don't seem to get. It's ok because after the game Saturday I will say I told you so.

You have no idea what your team is walking into. You can say we've beaten this team or that team on the road but this isn't Montana or South Carolina for that matter. The defense you are going to see Saturday will be the best you've ever seen. Plus you will be surprised how we ram the ball down your throat with the running game.

If you think you are getting the regular season Bison you couldn't be more wrong. We have the BEST coaching staff at this level and will shut any offense down.

Here are a couple of numbers for you to ponder. 14,0,7,6,3 avg of 6pt game.

Let me know if you have any idea what those are...that should give you an idea what your up against.

Looks like it's us against the SoCon, as usual. Someday they will win.

[deez_na]

Douche NDSU fan...

He's confident in his team, no reason not to be. They have been stellar throughout the playoffs last year and so far this year. single digits or less for opponents through the last 4 of 5 games. That's solid.

Followed up by a comment from a mod/Joe about wishing he could positive rep his comment? I'm fine, but I take reservation on this "holier than thou" garbage that is said by Wofford fans in comparison to Bison fans.

[Reign of Terrier]

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

file this under "things no one said"

So basically, your logic is that I must concede that the crowd noise will totally and completely throw off our game and thus we will lose, or else I'm underestimating it?

I'm giving credit where credit is due, I'm just saying that I doubt it will be clearly superior to any of the venues we've played at. With that said, I'm not going to pretend it won't be a factor, because it will.

[gsu2583]

Being confident is fine. Saying "I told you so" is rubbing someone's nose in it. Makes you a douche. Plain and simple. Got to be bigger than that.

I heard them more than once refer to South Dakota State as San Diego State xthumbsdownx

Because it was a joke, that was funny. calm your tits. There are much worse things that could be found on Bisonville by more posters.

I'll let him talk. If his team earns him the right to talk, more power to him, but if not.......I personally will not let him as an individual forget it.

Don't get me wrong, you're a douche too, but I would PREFER a Wofford win. Don't think it will happen, but I will be half-heatedly rooting for the anklebiters...

This is what I call a meteorite game, where you hope a flaming ball of gasses, rock, and space dust hits the stadium and obliterates both teams.

Same goes to you with all the crap you've been posting...go look at my posts here or on our message board....I'm not the one who is making comments about the crowd won't be anything we haven't dealt with or that NDSU is overrated..


You So Con mates arrogance is old...that's all I'm saying...

Try to find some where where I have said anything negative about Wofford....


I think they have a very good defense and an offense that will be easy to stop. I think they are well coached.

that said a running team against our Defense is going to struggle big time. Now if we play ODU that will be a different matter.

[Reign of Terrier]

so many butthurt people.....

[Eaglesrus]

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.

Not that all of this weather talk matters (since the game will be played in a dome), but I wondered if anyone would ever bring this up. No doubt that it gets colder in ND than many of us southerners have ever experienced, but it would only matter on game day. It was cold last year when we played out there, but not the kind of cold that has been described on this thread.

[NDSUstudent]

I don't care who your team is that is some funny stuff.

lol I haven't said NDSU was overrated and I will challenge you to find such a post.

You're really insightful for a guy who posts less than 100 times in over 2 years.

[blueballs]

Because GSU would lose to either one? I can see that.

Nah, we've seen Wofford against GSU this year, and it was a bad matchup for Wofford's offense because GSU's defense sees the option every day in practice, is stout at DT, and GSU's defensive team speed is better than Wofford's offensive team speed.

Personalities aside, IF GSU is lucky enough to defeat ODU this weekend it is obvious they'd want to play at home instead of Fargo... that's just common sense.

Question for you, after watching NDSU last year against your team do you think we will have any issues stopping Wofford?

[Reign of Terrier]

lolz, I have probably, what 500 posts in the last year, if that? My point is, your insight on the FCS is pretty weak and your opinions reflect that and the indicator is how much you actually discuss it, which is rarely.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

have you seen the App State participation in this thread? Clearly that isn't the case.

[steelbison]

LOL so you know more about FCS football than I do because I don't post on this board??? I've probably been following football longer than you've been on this earth but whatever...

[Professor Chaos]

I'm not going to claim that NDSU's defense is so much better than anything else Wofford has seen this year but I've watched every NDSU game so far this year and the defense has yet to have an off game. The closest was a struggling 1st half against Illinois St but after halftime the clamps were put on completely. No matter how good Wofford is at running the ball I'm confident NDSU's defense will contain it. Wofford will get some yards on the ground but not consistently. If the Bison can score 20 points they win.

Therein lies my concern however. Wofford's front 7, and D-line specifically, look very good. If they're able to get consistent pressure on Jensen with only their front 4 and drop the rest into coverage it's going to be a long day for the Bison QB. NDSU's O-line against Wofford's D-line will be the key matchup in this game.

[Reign of Terrier]

No, you don't know FCS football because your viewpoints reflect it. the fact that you don't post is an indicator because I would wager that those with higher post counts on here discuss FCS football more (and for longer) and thus know a little bit more about it than those who don't.

Also, it's ****ing laughable that you think you're better than a 10-2 SEC team.

Bottom line, if Wofford was a better team than NDSU this game would be in Spartansburg, not Fargo.

I would expand that to the front 7, because often we have a linebacker/stand up guy (usually an all-american) blitzing. Our front 7 is great because the strength of our linebackers compliments the strength of our DL really well.

[blueballs]

Question for you, after watching NDSU last year against your team do you think we will have any issues stopping Wofford?

If it was last year's NDSU defense against this year's Wofford offense, I'd tend to think probably not, but you never know. Each matchup is different in it's own way on the particular day it is played.

Wofford is a different animal than GSU. They will try to trick you more than GSU. They aren't as athletic and therefore aren't as prone to mistakes. You just never know until they line up and go at it.

I will state this with no hesitation though... IMO Wofford has to score the first TD to have a good chance of winning. They'll have to play from in front and play mistake free to win. They'll have less margin for error than NDSU. Ayers is a helluva coach and will have his team prepared and have a good game plan. They are solid in all three phases... we'll just have to see if they are able to play good enough this Saturday.

[Reign of Terrier]

Bottom line, if Wofford was a better team than NDSU this game would be in Spartansburg, not Fargo.

so wait, Wofford won't have a better team if they score more points in 60 minutes than NDSU?

[Reign of Terrier]

Where did I say we were better than SC? I said our defense will be the best you have faced. When the game is over and you have less yards than you did against them we will see if I was right or not.

I don't post because like I said I actually work for a living...just not today :D

[Professor Chaos]

I agree, and I think even Wofford fans would agree that NDSU is the better team on paper. However, they are capable of beating NDSU if the O-line doesn't pass protect and run block well. If Brock Jensen is consistently under pressure against 7 defenders in coverage he's prone to make mistakes and that's the great equalizer. I think Wofford's margin for error is much smaller than NDSU's, similar to how it was for SDSU last weekend, but that doesn't mean they're not capable of winning.

Thanks for the insight. I do believe and the stats will back it up that our Defense this years is significantly better than last years in every way. I know that is hard to believe but that is how well we have played the entire year.

I agree Wofford is very well coached. I think it will be a good game. I just don't think they can score enough points unless we turn the ball over and give them a short field.

Best of luck to GSU this weekend. Should be a heck of a game with ODU

USC defense=SEC defense> your defense

Granted, that has no indication on the game, but at the same time I don't think one can predict NDSU's defense is going to be better than USC's just because of a performance last year against GSU

Last post with you...wow where did I say I was going off of last years defense???

I am going off of this years team...I know its hard to understand but our defense is better than last years.

I'm not going to look it up but the coach from Missouri State said he has faced Oregon last year, K-state and Louisville this year and ours was the best he has faced.

Again I've watched this Defense all year and they are as good as anything you've seen...trust me....

Good thing is that's why we play the games and we can see who is right or wrong come saturday afternoon.

Last winter was unseasonably warm it was 50F in ND when I left for TX, typically its closer to -50F(-20/-30F before windchill) around that time.

Just like we tried to tell the GSU posters last year. You are not getting 100% of those FBS teams' effort or even the crowd.

If those teams actually tried like it was a conference game, the average FCS team would lose 140-0 to a SEC team.

[gsu2583]

SoCon teams get a slight benefit from playing some OCC teams at home early in the season when it is BLAZING hot and HUMID. The Dome is definitely an advantage come this time of year for NDSU.

I hate this line of thinking because there is nothing to support it. We simply don't know where NDSU stands compared to top-tier FBS teams. The closest thing I can come up with is a UNI/Wisc matchup that occured earlier this year. UNI, who is in the lower half of our conference this year, hung with and barely lost to a team who eventually played for (and absolutely dominated in) the B1G championship game. We beat UNI by a higher margin than Wisc. could, and Wisc just demolished #14 Nebraska 70-31.

What I am saying is that it is really hard to compare top-tier FCS schools to any FBS school because both have high-quality players and both can only put 11 on the field at a time. To say that on any given day our defense is better than USC's is not out of the question. Regardless, see GSU/Alabama argument last year (cue the "But it's not last year" crap xblahx) to justify this.

I see this game and being a field position game. The most important players on the field on Saturday maybe be the kickers/punters. Excited to see Eric Breitenstein and what he does compared to Zenner. I like the Bison to win this one. First one to 20 points wins?

First one to ten probably wins, though the first one to score 10 most likely will score more.

Same Nebraska team that South Carolina beat handily (gave up 13 points)in Capital One bowl last year. It makes no sense that you can use useless stats to support your opinion but yet start crying foul when those with opposing views do the same.

Back to the game itself.

I still think this game will be 31-6 maybe 31-13, but Wofford will not score 20. The most points NDSU has given up this year is 21. The NDSU defense is too athletic to get run on consistently.

IMO, NDSU's running game will establish itself, esp in the 2ns half. After watching a lot of highlights of Wofford, there is no reason for me to believe that they will win the game.

IMO, NDSU's running game will establish itself, esp in the 2ns half. After watching a lot of highlights of Wofford, there is no reason for me to believe that they will win the game.

And the 21 points was a garbage TD when NDSU was up 33-14 late in the 4th. I dont see Wofford scoring more than 13 -16 tops

[Reign of Terrier]

No more laughable than you thinking you're better than a 11-1 MVFC team.

We'll certainly see on Saturday.

How many yards do you think Breitenstein will get?

[deez_na]

How many yards do you think Breitenstein will get?

Unless he breaks loose he won't see 100 unless they run him every play.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

How many yards do you think Breitenstein will get?

< 50. I'd put him on par with Zenner

[Reign of Terrier]

What is the track record for Wofford's special teams this year? Yds/punt, P/KO return yds allowed & gained?

We've done really well kicking the ball. It would be no exaggeration to say that on kickoffs, 90-95% of our kicks go out of the endzone. As for punting, our punter Kasey Redfern started the year inconsistent but since about the 3rd or 4th game he has been consistently good at punting. As for kickoff/punt returns, we usually play conservative and go for the fair catch/touchback.

Special teams wise, our main place kicker (honestly one of our best ever) has been out since before the App State game with a hip problem. He may just play this week, but who knows how the time off will effect him. Our Kicker Kasey Redfern has done well in his place. Watch the film on him against UNH, he had an odd game. He missed a 34 yard field goal, missed an extra point, then turned around and got a 33 yard field goal, an excellently high punt that was downed inside the 5, and dropped the snap on a punt.....only to pick it up and run for a first down.

what's the status on Jensen's injury? I heard something about potential ligament damage, but on what part of his body? his ankle? Doesn't he have a sprain on his non-throwing wrist as well?

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Non-throwing wrist. He's taping it up and playing.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

How many yards do you think Breitenstein will get?


The guy is a beast...period. He reminds me of a RB we had a few years ago..Tyler Roehl. He was a 240 lb RB for us. He would still be in the NFL if he hadn't blown his knee out.


EB will get some yards, I'm not going to say we will completely stop him. But I do not see him going over a 100. Probably in the 60-80 range. Wofford is going to need someone else step-up and make plays.

Wofford is tough, no denying that. Their unique version of the TO is pretty tough for defenses to figure out. But our defense has proven over and over that they are the real deal. They are #1 in 6 defensive categories.

Can Wofford win? You bet they can. IMO, it will not happen. This Bison team is very good.

[Reign of Terrier]

Non-throwing wrist. He's taping it up and playing.

okay....because I read an article that said something about a ligament but oddly didn't specify the injury.

[Eaglesrus]

Here's my other contribution to this thread; any Wofford fans making the trip should let NDSU fans know that you'll be at Buffalo Wild Wings (or probably where ever) on Friday night. Also, get to the parking lot early enough on Saturday to wander around. If it's like our experience last year you'll meet some really great folks! I still often tell the story of the NDSU student who picked up our beer AND dinner tab the night after the game.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

He says ligament damage in his wrist. This kid is a gamer. Last year he was literally taking IV fluids to stay hydrated with the flu during the Georgia Southern game and had turf toe but ran for 100 yds including a 55 yd TD run.

http://athletics.wofford.edu/sports/2012/7/25/FB_0725125956.aspx?path=football

it's on page 21, the only discrepancy is that Zach Bobb is out for the year with injury (Josh Roseborough is replacing him), the QB situation is a huge question mark but I think BK gets the start this week, and Christian Reed may or may not be place kicking for us this week.

[hlebichuk]

That is a great video. I could stand listening to Ed Schultz back then...not so much today. And I agree, you just can't really understand how cold and windy it is in Fargo until you live there. Which I did for 5 very long, cold years. The dome is nice, but forget about communicating on the field. Wofford better learn sign language real fast.

[millwoga1]

Saw on twitter where three Bison players left the team. My understanding is that these guys are reserves but seems like odd timing to quit in the midst of a playoff run.

[Go Bison]

All 3 were from Kansas with two of them being brothers. They all plan on transferring and want to get started on that before next semester. The one thing it hurts is LB depth which NDSU is pretty thin at.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

The rumor has it that they are all transferring academically, which would happen pretty much now. The Dinwiddies were off and on. Deshaun I think could have been an able replacement at RB in a couple years.

I couldn't remember where I heard that story about the NDSU student who picked up the tab. Good to hear it again. I know NDSU fans can be bold online and even arrogant but when you meet us in person I don't think people are disappointed.

[AmsterBison]

I've never seen anything like it before. Heard something about one or more of the three wanting to transfer at the end of the semester... maybe to participate in spring ball somewhere else.

Maybe that explains why I never heard of it before - NDSU used to be on the quarter system.

[BisonFan02]

Last winter was unseasonably warm it was 50F in ND when I left for TX, typically its closer to -50F(-20/-30F before windchill) around that time.


It's 50 today also, we generally do not get that terrible cold until January and that also depends on the snow on the ground, this week looks nice with temps in the 30's for Saturday.

[Vitojr130]

Sagarin has been unkind to Wofford all year. Not sure if it is from SoCon schedule or playing Div. II team.

I'm going to go ahead and say probably a little of both. The MVFC has been far above the SoCon this year in his rankings and that probably has a huge roll. On a side note, he hasn't really been wrong (except ISUb)... xpeacex

[FargoBison]

This is definitely an interesting match up. NDSU obviously hasn't played a team like Wofford all year but I don't think Wofford has seen anything quite like what NDSU brings the table either.

Calling for NDSU to win a close game was not some kind of underhanded comment, I think they will win. I just think Wofford is good enough defensively to keep this one close and give themselves a chance to win. They held a very good UNH offense to just 7 points last week and as good as NDSU is on defense, I think they'd be content to grind it out.

Based on our conversations, this game will be your classic game between 2 well-balanced and disciplined teams. Definitely won't be a shootout like ODU/GaSo, this one will be decided in the trenches. The Bison O-line's ability to reach the second level after pushing the down 4 off the line will be one of the keys to a Bison win. The guys have been consistent all season in dominating the line of scrimmage. One of the other keys is going to be the special teams play on both sides.

Well I guess the only real question remaining is how long do you plan to keep your starters in? Do you pull them once you are up by 45-50 points or do you get your first string more than a quarter of work at the risk of embarrassing them? Gotta take sportsmanship into account at some point.

There are several places close to the dome that are good for a beer and something to eat.
Buffalo Wild Wings which is just north of the dome. You can actually see it in the photo posted of the dome on the North side (top of picture).

Looking forward to seeing NDSU end the career of such an illustrious player as Eric Breitenstein. Wofford fans of the future will look at his name in their school's record books and recall that his reign was ended by the big bad Bison. I predict he gets about 40 yards on the day.

And the same goes for Wofford. If we don't turn the ball over, we have more than a chance to win it.

I know ya'll take on some good programs each year (GaSo, App, SoCar this year) and that Wofford holds their own very well against them. However, MVFC football is a bit less finesse and more of the classic smash-mouth style (with speed) that can spell disaster for a non-conference/playoff opponent. Wofford will need to be damn-near perfect and NDSU to turn the ball over at least twice for Wofford to pull off the upset.

If Wofford moves the ball and doesn't turn the ball over, they won't need turnovers. Believe it or not, our defense is good enough to force punts. The SoCon is many things, but finesse is not one of them.

Otherwise you cant go wrong if you get to the Dome early and enjoy some Northern Hospitality. You won't be disappointed as there will be plenty of folks willing to share food, drinks and stories with you.

You are near the mall area there. All of the places we're talking about are downtown or up by the Dome.

You are near the mall area there. All of the places we're talking about are downtown or up by the Dome. I think there are some ok places near the West Fargo border that are pretty nice for an evening. My mom lives in that part of town but I haven't been back for more than a couple days in a few years.

There is a JL Beers on 13th ave, its just really really far west. Almost near cheyene street.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

There are a ton of different options on 13th avenue, one of my favorites on 13th is Granite City. Very tasty food and brew their own beer.

Also highly suggest JL Beers!

Don't forget. He's from the south so you can see what passes for a Hooters in North Dakota out in that part of town. :)

[Alpha T Dog]

Looking forward to seeing NDSU end the career of such an illustrious player as Eric Breitenstein. Wofford fans of the future will look at his name in their school's record books and recall that his reign was ended by the big bad Bison. I predict he gets about 40 yards on the day.

You people are hilarious. South Carolina, with one of the top 4 defensive lines in the entire Country, couldn't hold Breitenstein to under 100 yards but North Dakota is gonna hold him to less than 50. Yeah, you keep telling yourselves that.

[QUOTE=robsnotes4u;1908404]Friday night at Fargo Billiards and Gastropub, www.fargobilliards.com. Classy place with great food, a lot of TVs and of course Billiards. They will take care of you on the west side of the fargodome on Saturday, you can't miss it.


thanks again. will be in Fargo long enough to try out several of these establishments. look forward to cruising the west side pregame. we always invite visiting fans at the friendly confines of Gibbs stadium to join our tailgate....best way to meet good peeps is with food & drink!

Last year mike page, the owner, had a room set up for the quarter final game, we had bobcats, Griz, bison, lehigh and even local UNI fans all together watching the MSU vs SHSU game. Not saying there is a private room available this year, they have been busy with parties, but a great atmosphere anyway. Wear your team gear.

[terrierterror84]

just to add my worthless opinion to the previous thoughts on the GAME being played saturday (too bad there's not a B.S. filter on this forum)....
being a looooooong time wofford fan and watching them in person 90+ percent of their games over the past 20 years, i have to say that the terriers appear slow, undersized and simple minded in their offensive approach (this is to their advantage mostly). on both sides of the ball, year after year, wofford never "out athletes" anyone. watching the NDSU defense 3 times this year is proof positive that they're tremendous. i don't think it makes a hill of beans who you play but rather how you play. we should've beat fcs clemson and south carolina but that doesn't get us yards against the bison.

bottom line to me is simple...our defense is stubborn and can play with anyone. our offense has potential but has not played a complete game yet. if we don't fumble the game away we might have a shot to pull a stunner saturday but the bison are #1 for a damn good reason and to be the best....well, ya know...

If you go West on 13th you will have a lot of options. I'd recommend either JL Beers or Three Lyons Pub. Otherwise there is so much out there to choose from right on 13th Ave. that you shouldn't have any problems finding something to your liking.

He's gonna need to break loose for a long gain if he's going to sniff that by the half, good luck with that guess.

If anyone wants to go out before the game from Wofford, just let me know! Hope you enjoy Fargo, and hopefully you will have a good time tailgating before the game as well.

I'm not sure some of my fellow Bison fans understand how hard it will be to hold Wofford under 150 yards. Running the ball is their plan A, B and C....they'll very likely run for more yards than anyone we have played this year. What the Bison need to do is limit the big play, own third/fourth down and create some turnovers.

I do think the Bison will win because they do those things I mentioned very well but Wofford is going to run for some yards...GSU ran for almost 190 on us last year.

+10

You're exactly right. The key is not holding EB to 50 or 60 yds like we did with Zenner, the key is for us to keep them close to our season average total yds allowed of 197.5 yds/game*. Wofford, on the other hand, give up 309.58 yds/game.

This is where the distinct difference comes in . That defense ended the season with 118.7 ypg rushing and 315.9 ypg total against.

This year they are 67 ypg rushing and 197.5 ypg against. This defense is much, much better. Only twice this year has a team gained more than 100 yards on the ground.

[Bison56]

Any Worfford fans making the trip I hope its a safe one. And I hope you enjoy your time in Fargo!

I wouldn't recommend any Fargo BBQ place to anyone from the south...they just won't be impressed. If you want a good breakfast I would go to TNT and a lot of other people have mentioned other solid eating places. Doolittles is another that I like that I haven't seen mentioned.

I do like Spitfire, not saying it is bad but the standard BBQ is held to in Fargo vs other places is astronomically different.

Lookin forward to hosting you in Fargo. Can't recommend JL Beers highly enough to out-of-towers, there's one just south of the downtown bar strip that is usually stop #1 for my friends and I when we go out. A whole bunch of legit bars just a couple blocks away if you're looking to really experience Fargo's nightlife. Shoot me a PM if you'd like my cell number, I'd be glad to play tour guide for you and show you how to have a good time before tailgating.

I'll address youngterrier's post here since I can't quote multiple posts on my phone, but I'll go ahead and assume that South Carolina prepared for the terriers much like we prepared for prairie view a&m. Tune-up game that wasn't worth the film time. If they taken you seriously breathe stein wouldn't have broken 50. Rest assured that you won't fly under NDSU's radar. That said, if you we're playin North Dakota, I'm sure he would put up 400 on the ground with about 7 TDs. Their defense is atrocious. Here's hoping your coaching staff is as bad at geography as some of their fans.

One other bit of bad news for my fellow southerners planning on going to Fargo: NO WAFFLE HOUSE!

[FargoBison]

This year they are 67 ypg rushing and 197.5 ypg against. This defense is much, much better. Only twice this year has a team gained more than 100 yards on the ground.

We've played only a few teams where multiple people on the field was a threat to run the ball and we've played no team that will run the ball 50+ times. Wofford will run for at least 165 yards but they'll need to approach 250 in order to win unless they catch the Bison off guard on a long passing play.

I'm not sure some understand what we are going up against. Like I said before the Bison do the right things well enough that I expect to win but to hold Wofford under 150 yards would take a monumental defensive effort.

[terrierterror84]

Lucky 13's is a great place to go as well. Highly recommend you try them as well.

I had sweet tea at a McDonalds in North Dakota some where and had no idea you could screw up sweet tea that bad. Don't they share the same recipe? I wanted to cry.

[Reign of Terrier]

Honestly though, I can't really say how many times I've heard "well we average this many yards against us on defense so we will do will against the option" and then subsequently said team gets run up and down the field. Elon had the best defense in the conference in 2008, we had about three times as many yards as they had averaged giving up by halftime. UNI made the argument as well, granted UNI beat us but we helped them out with turnovers....otherwise we had close to 500 yards rushing.

Now, with that said, I don't think we'll run for that much yards, but it's not going to surprise me in the slightest if the option is harder for NDSU to beat than they think.

Of course the TO will be hard for the NDSU defense. They do not see it at all. Wofford will get some yards on the ground but this defense is very good at adjustments.

I think you mentioned that if Wofford gets around 250 yds rushing they will win. IMO, it needs to be around 300 +.

You'll be surprised how many 3 and outs you're going to have.

Back to the matter at hand, Wofford is good but the bison will keep them to ~150 yards rushing IMO. Assuming Brock isn't in a pick 6 mood it should be enough.

Can't hear you from up here. Maybe you should find a stool to stand on.

Don't worry, he's only here as long as Sam is in the playoffs.

The way 90% of the fans conduct themselves is embarrassing, but it's the way your players conducted themselves in the title game last year that you should worry about, flipping people off, spitting etc...our fans may have some attitudes but our players lose with class and win with, maybe you should find some to

As for the Wofford fans making the trip I guarantee you will have a way different opinion when you leave, ask GSU, JMU, and Lehigh fans

I have no idea to what you are referring.

The way Bison fans conduct themselves on this board is embarrassing. Who'd want to hand out with a bunch of dorks that turn every conversation into a junk measuring contest? Worst little-man's syndrome fanbase in the country.

I was always taught that if I had nothing good to say about something to keep my mouth shut. That is all I have to say to you sir.

That kid really doesn't like election frauders apparently.

Wait, you disagree with me? I realize you're like the 1% that isn't a problem, but for the most part, the Bison fanbase (on AGS) is exactly as I described. Bison fans make Alabama fans look like a rational fanbase.

Or getting his dick knocked in the dirt I'll bet. That field was nice and soft on the feet, by the way. I'd have told ya about it but you went into witness protection after the game.

Many of us NDSU fans are getting together at Buffalo Wild Wings on 19th Ave N on Friday (just north of the FargoDome). If you come out there you will meet many who will also more than welcome you to join them at tailgating on Saturday.

I had a great time sharing the table there with you and Swag last year, BB! Still don't know how we managed to stumble into the right tailgate the next day, but sure glad we did.
