MVFC Outright Champs: NDSU

[Vitojr130]

Averaging:

Offense (for) - 36.6 ppg

Defense (against) - 12.7 ppg

After what I saw today, I have no doubt this team will threepeat, unless some freak injury bugs decide to bite.

[clenz]

Damn I wish UNI was healthy...would love another shot in Frisco


But we aren't and there won't be so...

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Maybe next year for UNI. NDSU will be really good next year too.


Take care of USD to finish 11-0.

Congrats to the Bison. Not surprised, and you guys are definitely the favorites. But I hope my Eagles have something to do about that threepeat.

[Lehigh'98]

NDSU just seems to be a step above the rest of the FCS this year. assuming they win it all, now you start talking about their place as one of the great all time teams in FCS. EWU, Maine, Towson & EIU will be interesting matchups if they play NDSU, but the Bison will still be minimum TD favorites no matter who they are playing.

Unlikely since the BSC doesn't play defense. I take the Bison D all day long over EW offense.

Towson would probably give the Bison the biggest test. They run and pass well.

EIU just tries to outscore their opponents and Maine's spread offense is good but nothing that the NDSU defense cannot handle.

EWU would be a good match-up but they would have to run the ball. NDSU rotates 10-11 guys on the D-line so they would have a lot of pressure on VA. Plus, EWU's defense is mediocre. NDSU's offense is also one of the reasons their defense is so good. They keep other team's offense off the field.

I've been thinking about that for a while. Maybe starting a thread on ranking the FCS all time top 25 overall football programs (or just top 10). Georgie Southern with their many NC's, App State's threepeat and monumental win over Michigan, Montana's record berths in the postseason, NDSU (esp with the threepeat), etc. I don't have enough knowledge regarding FCS history to put that together, but I would have to think that NDSU has crept into that conversation.

EWU couldn't compete NDSU D no question.

[taper]

There's a reason we have playoffs. AGS.

Since its all fantasy, I think they matchup better against running teams and teams that don't play great D. Some of the Marshall teams (1996 esp) would give them trouble I think. YSU's best team in the 90's are similiar to NDSU imo as they both play smash mouth football. I think they would matchup well with GSU's better teams beacause they can defend the run well, but GSU did give them fits last yr in the playoffs, so who knows. App St was a very athletic team during their run and would anticipate a high scoring affair. Delaware's 2003 team had an outstanding defense that would make for a very exciting game against NDSU. Not sure I would favor NDSU against any of these teams except maybe GSU, but would not expect any of those teams to blow out NDSU, they are too good for that. I know NDSU fans will probably disagree with some of this, but I expect them too.

[dudeitsaid]

EWU couldn't compete NDSU D no question.

EWU is peaking towards the end of the season. SHSU seems to be fading. I don't think the early season game with SHSU is a good measuring stick for where EWU is right now.

[skinny_uncle]

Congrats to the Bison. This is probably the best team yet. The three peat won't be a surprise. Running the table in the Valley is a rare feat in itself.

Agreed, I think Towson would pose the most problems to NDSU in the playoffs. I think EWU, EIU, and Maine would also be capable of beating NDSU if they force the Bison into turnovers and can control the ball so their defense isn't beat down by the 4th quarter but, as we've seen to date this year, that is very difficult to do against the 2013 NDSU Bison.

EIU can beat anybody when their QB is on.

Have you even seen us play? Hmmmm, thought not.

[Squealofthepig]

Guy even CAUGHT a TD pass today just cause he could. Their first quarter today was just brutal.

We do run the ball. Quite well, actually. Thanks.

[skinny_uncle]

SIU in '09, when did the Gateway become the MVC?
Gateway and MVFC are basically two different names for the same league. The Gateway was always affiliated with the Valley. SIU ran the table in the "Gateway" in 2004, too. I'm just saying it is rare. UNI did it back in 1996, too.

[clenz]

SIU in '09, when did the Gateway become the MVC?
2008....

Conference didn't change anything other than the name. The old records still stand as conference records.

[JayJ79]

when did the Gateway become the MVC?
the Gateway became the MVC in 1992
but the Gateway Football Conference didn't become the MVFC until 2008

the MVC and MVFC are seperate entities.

[Hammerhead]

I've watched parts of your games on TV and the Eagles are very good. I'm still not sure if NDSU is that good or if the MVFC is down this year.

Since all we can do is computer comparisons for now, Sagarin has NDSU favored by 13 points on a neutral field.


Have you even seen us play? Hmmmm, thought not.

[Darlinikki150]

Have you even seen us play? Hmmmm, thought not.

I have watched 1 game and yes you have a potent offense. However I think the run d is fair and would breakdown by the second half against NDSU. I also think the qb would be under much more pressure than he is used to, our D is fast. We cover the middle and the edges very well. We take great angles and gang tackle better than almost every team. All of that combined I think would mess up the qb and by the 4th quarter EW would be exhausted and we would pull away. Now its just conjecture on my part, but I know how the Bison play and I could see that scenario playing out more often than not.

Have you watched us play.....

Hopefully we will settle it on the field either in playoffs or the NC my friend. Kisses!

[Twentysix]

Have you even seen us play? Hmmmm, thought not.

I've seen 6 EWU games. It would probably be a good game. 35-17 kind of game. Also remember any scenario where EWU plays NDSU it is a home game for NDSU. We have all the Frisco tickets already.

I have to and yes, they are a good team....one of the best in the FCS right now. But IMO, they do not have the defense to beat the Bison. The last 3 years there hasn't been a team that has been better than the Bison. The YSU and Ind State losses are from Bison mistakes...2 pick 6s and a phantom fumble with no one in 20 yards of DJ. Yes, that is part of FB but no team has beaten them.

The only team that beats the Bison this year is the Bison.

[IBleedYellow]

I can't wait to play EWU this year. Bring them to the Dome!

The whole "the only team who beats the bison is the bison" is frankly ridiculous. I think NDSU will win it all...but if any other team steps up and wins, that particular team just might have had something to do with it. There are some pretty good teams around the country.

This is true. There is a lot of football left to be played and a lot of things have to go right for a team to win a championship. NDSU fans have seen this team do some special things over the last few years. Fans of other schools will have to tolerate our enthusiasm for our team. :)

I agree that some of the NDSU posters are coming across as a little bit (or a lot bit) cocky. (No offense to Cocky if you happen to read this, Cocky.) However, it is hard to find much fault when the team on the field has proven what they have since 2010. True, there are some very good teams in the FCS this year. There are probably a handful that are truly capable of beating the Bison, short of catastrophic injuries or a major meltdown on the field. And even of those handful of teams, if both teams play to their full potential, the odds are in favor of the Bison, so the game is theirs to lose. That's probably a more politically correct way to deliver the message.

But as we so often proclaim, anything can happen, any given Saturday. That's the beauty of the game, right?

I think everyone on this board knows that it is possible to score more points than NDSU in a game. But history shows that it is not an easy feat, even for very good teams. The only times that it has happened since the loss to EWU in 2010 have been when NDSU made some significant mistakes that had relatively little to do with the play of the opposing teams. For any FCS team to beat NDSU this year, I think they will have to play a near perfect game and be firing on all cylinders. And even then, I believe it will be a difficult task unless NDSU plays short of their potential and makes a critical mistake or two.

There. I used a lot more words to state essentially the same thing. Am I missing the mark? Or would you generally agree? If you disagree with anything, let's discuss.

After re-watching that EWU-UND game, the Eagles showed next to nothing offensively. On purpose. They could not have had a more vanilla, boring game plan than they did. Adams was protecting himself the whole game it seemed. I have seen them a few times since and they looked way different.

Pretty sure they knew they didn't need to risk much to beat UND. xlolx

I agree with all of this...no question. I am just saying that it is possible for the Bison to be outplayed on a day during the FCS playoffs. It could happen where someone actually deserves to win. One particular pet peeve I have is when teams say they beat themselves with mistakes...most mistakes (interceptions, fumbles, etc) are caused by something the other team did. I am a believer in the Bison, I think they are the best team in the country, and deserve all the accolades they get. But, they can be beat. Just ask the 18-0 New England Patriots. 612

The only two losses NDSU has seen in the last 3 years were due to a) an unforced fumble on what would have been the go ahead touchdown and b) two ridiculous passes into the flat deep in their own territory for pick 6's.

Yes, the Bison have only beat themselves.

Not to mention NDSU was also in FG position to tie that ISU game when Brock decided to throw another pick to ice it! Worst game of his career by far. Just think we could possibly be going for back to back undefeated seasons!

True but without Jensen led comebacks against GSU last year and K State and UNI this year the Bison wouldn't be defending national champs or undefeated in 2013. I'll take the good Brock with the bad Brock.

On top of that, they've been playing 3 home games in that atmosphere during the playoffs, which I think is an unfair advantage. The playoffs should be on neutral sites, but alas, I guess that will never happen. The advantage is simply unarguable. Simply, a fact.

Incorrect, and I see this a lot from Bison fans. The fumble you are referencing was not on what would have been a go-ahead TD, it would have been to tie the game. Remember, we scored back to back TD's, one to tie the game and one in OT.

If what you are referencing would have been the go-ahead TD, EWU would have gotten the ball back because the game would have been tied.

[SingForever]

Yes this again. If you don't think that you have an advantage playing in that concert center, you are deaf, dumb, and stupid. It's tough to go all the way in the playoffs. But the chances of a team doing it lies in the fact that they play in an unrealistic atmosphere for team that normally play outdoors. So you win away games during the season - you have been significantly helped in the playoffs by the FD. We play ( and BID) to hopefully have a home game under the current system. PLAYOFFS SHOULD BE ON A NEUTRAL SITE. AND PLEASE DON'T CALL ME CLUELESS WHEN I GIVE A RATIONAL ARGUMENT. You know damn well that you have an unfair advantage. jhdts
Not this **** again. That's why you try to get home field! Will someone point out to clueless that we haven't lossed a road game since 2010! :D

Yes this again. If you don't think that you have an advantage playing in that concert center, you are deaf, dumb, and stupid. It's tough to go all the way in the playoffs.

I figure you may have gone to Lehigh so you might be smart. How in the world would that work? Playing in front of a few hundred fans at a neutral site? Thrilling. Playoffs in every division have always been at home sites. Just because Lehigh can't manage to get one doesn't mean it shouldn't be.

Neutral sites will never happen in the FCS.....$$$$ counts and the NCAA will never spring for that. You earn the homefield during the season and it makes for an awesome post season atmosphere versus a bland neutral location. Would any FCS programs outside of a few travel in the postseason well enough to support all of these neutral site games???

Following your logic,in the playoffs, there should be no cheerleaders, no announcers, no bands,and no crowds allowed to watch. After all, it may give one team an unfair advantage.

That is why it is called home field advantage...

Your one of those who think people should get participation awards and we shouldn't keep score either right?xlolx

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Even at Goodman and with the racist, you still would have lost by 2 TDS in 2011. So what's the difference?

The weather should always be sunny and 60 with no wind as well so as not to give advantages to one style of football.

[frozennorth]

i think all games should be held on lehigh's campus

[Gil Dobie]

LOL....you NDSU fans are too funny...lol
At least I saw you lose in person. For rational people only --------A big reason for the NDSU
streak is playing in" their own living room" where their opponents have never experienced such a biased atmosphere. On top of that, they've been playing 3 home games in that atmosphere during the playoffs, which I think is an unfair advantage. The playoffs should be on neutral sites, but alas, I guess that will never happen. The advantage is simply unarguable. Simply, a fact.
