Round of eight: CCU @ N Dak. State

[kdinva]

Can't imagine this game to be in the 38-7 neighborhood........

[Texas]

Thank god CCU is going and not Montana. I would've hate to see the Griz murdered in Fargo.

Should be a good one!

[jmrepak]

I'm looking forward to this matchup. A high powered offense vs. a damn good defense it should be very interesting. We've played a few of the top defenses this year and performed well, but a lot of our opponents had inflated stats due to the level of competition they played. This will be a battle.

Anyone have an idea of when they will set the game time and date with ESPN?

Should be a great game! Thrilled to see a new team in the FD.

10pm tonight. Maybe a little earlier if someone leaks the info before the official announcement.

For the Bison, this will be a telling game in regards to how the Bison handle a strong passing team which I don't believe we've faced this season. I don't see an issue for the Bison offense vs. CCU's D, but the question will be if the Bison secondary controls the Chanticleer offense. If it is another win with the scoring in the range of tonight's game, I will feel much more confident should we face EIU or EWU in Frisco. If it's a close game, I can see EIU & EWU using the tape from this game to review in great detail.

[BisonFan02]

Game will be Friday....inside information says so.

[Professor Chaos]

Game will be Friday....inside information says so.
No inside info from me but I think ESPN has an infatuation with NDSU, relative to the other remaining playoff teams, that will put the Bison games on Friday the next two weeks as long as their still is a Bison game to show regardless who the opponent is.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

CC's defense looks very mediocre at best. The Bison offense should be able to move the ball easily.

Their offense might pose some problems but I'm sure the Bison defense is up for the challenge.

[gofurman]

Can't imagine this game to be in the 38-7 neighborhood........

First, despite the 38-7 score... I think most objective NDSU fans would say Furman did pretty well for playing only 4 seniors on our team. Our team is 57% freshman. Our front 7 on D (all 14 of em, the whole two- deep) return next year as we have no seniors there. Two seniors on D, Two on O total basically.

That said I post here bc Furman has played Both Coastal and NDSU ! We were a far worse team when we played coastal (2-4) and then we turned the Corner and won the SoCon (winning 6 straight FCS Games).

Point is, I can say without a doubt that your basic assessment should be Coastal will bring a superior offense into Fargo (better than Furman) but an inferior defense (esp far less run D than Furman had). Just look at our stats when we played vs coastal Carolina. We ran very well against them. Having seen NDSU I expect NDSU to run on coastal all game like they did to us in the second half. Coastal has to outscore you. The score with Montana is pretty spot on today.

We ran 45 times for 240 yds vs Coastal and we weren't playing nearly as well then... Over 5 ypc. Today vs NDSU we ran 35 times for 102 yds. Barely 3 ypc. The DL of NDSU is far better than the DL of coastal. But Furman was able to throw some today and coastal can be very very dangerous in the air. That's how they hung 35 on us

My guess? Having seen both teams ill say NDSU 37 , coastal 23. NDSU just needs to run and run and run and coastal will wear down. Keep it simple , keep their offense off the field

Furman does have a bright future in the next few years.

Kudos to Furman, they were better than I thought but a team needs to play a solid 4 quarters to beat the Bison.

[ndsubison]

Agreed. Furman is a better team than the 38-7 score indicated. With such a young roster and an obviously smart coach, look for FU to make some noise these next couple yrs.

Ala Bison 2010. xcoolx

Funny, met a guy today and that's exactly what he said. I didn't really know much beyond NDSU had won numerous D 2 Titles and that, obviously, you have rolled two straight FCS titles ! He said - when he realized we have two seniors on each side of the ball - that he thought that we play good fundamental football and made him think of a young 2010 NDSU team. Exact same comment. He was esp nice when he saw we have almost as many freshman as we do Soph, June, and senior all combined. He thought that reflected well on our new coach to get us back in the mix with such youth

He was a very nice guy and fan - represented NDSU VERY WELL!! he said that he honestly thought, having seen us play SC State, it would be easier to beat us .. That the bison would lead at half say, 21-3 but that we just wouldn't make the costly penalties or turnovers that lesser coached teams make and so we hung around very well and made him "sweat" for 30 minutes. Lol. Good guy.

good luck to you guys. I wrote my brief synopsis a page or so back in all objectivity as I suspect (not 100% sure) we are the only team to play both NDSU and Coastal Carolina this year. Hopefully it tells. A little. If nothing else just look at the Furman vs Coastal Carolina statistics but understand we were in our 2-4 phase then so our D was not so great at the time as all the freshman were barely out of high school. Still Furman is probably the best comparison team right now since you just saw us and have an idea what we can and cannot do so well

[gofurman]

What does this post mean? Just curious

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

What does this post mean? Just curious

Who is going to coach, for starters.

[Hammerhead]

Read the threads about Bohl being hired by Wyoming. Rumors abound about how much of his staff is going with him and who will be coaching through the rest of the playoffs.


What does this post mean? Just curious

[Squealofthepig]

Next weekend is going to be an interesting one for NDSU.

CCU came to Missoula prepared, out of their element (quite literally) and stayed focused and poised the entire game. They didn't have penalties. They converted big plays. They did not get rattled.

The timing actually sucks big balls for NDSU, and **** Bohl for the timing - I mean, seriously. Wait until the playoffs are done - this not only sends a message to the Bison (so long, thanks for the fish), it also says to Wyoming recruits, "Hey, I may be a great coach - don't plan on me not leaving and hanging you out to dry."

This leaves me actually cheering for NDSU next week (instead of doing the "cheer for the team who beats you" thing). Dammit, the kids coming to Fargo did so for the program AND for Bohl, and it's a shame one of those deserted them.

[SUPharmacist]

Looking forward to the game, and curious to see what the crowd is like with Bohl still coaching.

[Bison56]

So any CCU fans making the trip?

Great post! I feel bad for the NDSU players as they probably feel like they have been abandoned. The timing by Bohl is beyond awful. Losing Bohl is bad but if he takes the coordinators, more assistants and the strength coach the program gas been gutted. Not to mention next years recruits. What the heck happens to what was on paper a very good class.

I will be cheering like crazy for the team.

Time to regroup, circle the herd and come out full bore. I think this is gonna energize, motivate and focus our team even more now to cap off a perfect season! GO BISON!!!

Still Furman is probably the best comparison team right now since you just saw us and have an idea what we can and cannot do so well...You also need to consider that the team that beat Furman in week 2 is just a shadow of the team that will line up on Saturday. At the time our offense hadn't found their rhythm yet. That didn't happen until the next week when we dropped 51 at EKU. Also, our defense still has growing to do, but they are much more mature than they were even 4 weeks ago much less 13 weeks ago. It's the only comparable opponent we have, but Furple and CCU met so early in the season that the outcome and overall quality of play from both teams in that game are not relevant for comparison.

So the Furman team that we beat is the same team that y'all beat in week 2? Not a chance. They rattled off a string of wins to take the SoCon AQ and represented themselves well down in Orangeburg before arriving in Fargo. CCU has a different style offense, but if you watched the Bison/Paladin game, you should be more concerned about facing a team closer to the Gamecocks than the Big South, Charlotte, etc.

[Grizzlies82]

There appeared to be about two dozen in their section in Missoula. I suspect short notice, high cost, air fares will be one limiting factor.
Not to mention Fargo is too damn cold. :)

That game was a long time ago. It was really the only game in the first half of the season where Furman's Reese Hannon played. The numbers in that game favored Furman, but the score favored Coastal. Furman was putting up offense, but couldn't keep Coastal from responding on offense.

CCU is a good team (as if playing in the third round didn't already indicate that). They are better offensively than Furman. Their defense is nothing special. They have a feature back who may well be the best FCS runner the Bison have seen this season in Taliaferro. He's a legitimate threat in the backfield.

Unlike Furman, however, CCU is a veteran squad. They are already road tested and played in and won in an inhospitable environment.

I'd agree. Conway is a fairly remote area next to a popular tourist spot. I'd hate to think how many connecting flights one would have to take to get from there to Missoula or Fargo.

Furman brought their 'A' game and I hope CC does also.

CC's offense is a good one for sure but your defense is going to be the 'weak link' come Saturday. The Bison offense is very well rounded and they pound people into the ground, esp in the 2nd half. The only two teams that have played the Bison close are K-State and UNI.

Can CC win this game?

Sure they can but it is going to take a great effort on their part to do it.

[knucklehead]

I wouldn't discount CCU's D. No they are not stellar, but they can keep up with you on Offense and make a stop or 2 on D when needed. I am not saying they will, but they are capable. I would expect that this will be a tighter game than most expect with NDSU winning in the end.

Heck, they can't even fill their own stadium. Too much draw to the beach and other attractions.

That second word that says ALSO means that I agree with what he said that Furman was a different team on Saturday then when we played them. I just wanted to point out that we are too. I really like playing Furman. I think we've played them 5 times in 8 years, and hope to continue that (although they may not, I think we're 4-1).

I have no delusions that NDSU will not bring a top notch defense. That's why this is such a good matchup. Our D normally plays one so-so half and one knock out half. The better is normally in the second half, but you just never know which they're going to be. Our offense has been spot on all year playing some of the top defenses in fcs, and has still moved the ball effectively (especially on 3rd down and in the red zone). However, I didn't understand our play calling in the 4th at UM. We should have been winding the clock way more in the 4th. We easily gave the Griz 2-3 extra minutes of play by not working the clock effectively with a lead. Hopefully, our staff learned from that because it almost came back to bite us in the ass. As all games in this round, this should be a good one.

[jmrepak]

Heck, they can't even fill their own stadium. Too much draw to the beach and other attractions.
Damn sure there is more to do than in L-burg. I do want to try that mountain out though.

The reality is that we used to have really good attendance, but we went through a few bad years in a new program and the fan base cooled off a little bit. On top of that we're competing with two top 10 FBS teams for attention in the state all year. Then we had a very, err, tumultuous coaching change, and it pissed a lot of people off. Our previous coach's performance had slipped on the field, but off the field he had become a staple in the community, so firing him did not sit well with many. Winning brings back fans though, so in that regard it's working. Our attendance is starting to tick back up. However, I wish all of the people that donate and buy our top tier seats but never show up would just stop buying the damn tickets. They don't understand that buying a ticket and not coming doesn't support the team. It hurts them from a noise, support and recruiting perspective. Time heals all wounds, so I'm hoping to see a full stadium again in the next year or so.

Thanks for the support PF. Hopefully, we'll see you guys again soon (I don't know the '14 schedule yet)

[jmrepak]

I'd agree. Conway is a fairly remote area next to a popular tourist spot. I'd hate to think how many connecting flights one would have to take to get from there to Missoula or Fargo.
The commercial flights aren't too bad from surrounding airports. About $400, but you'll end up having to get hotels and cars so you're probably looking at 700 to 800 for one or 1000 to 1200 for two. That's not exactly cheap. The school was working on organizing a charter, like Furman, but I think they went with a smaller plane to have a better chance of selling enough seats to make it happen. However, smaller planes are more expensive on a per passenger rate than larger ones, so they were looking for a 50 person minimum with a $1500 price. Its too steep for for most of the younger fan base, and I suspect that it in fact won't happen. I was looking at flights but I own a family business and work every other Saturday with the other guy so we can both have some time off. Guess which weekend it is...damn it

Some of our fanbase is tired of the schedule. We see CCU and PC nearly every season, and now are starting rotational games with Garnder Webb and SCSU.

As I've told the perpetually dissatisfied, though - if you are going to fit the bill for higher profile FCS games, I'm sure our athletic department would take you up. Furman is fortunate to have a relatively high calibre of OOC teams in the immediate vicinity, and can ordinarily avoid playing non-D1 football.

Well I think the Griz D was ranked somewhere around 57th, so your boys will see a little step up on that side of the ball come Saturday. I believe the Bison D is pretty much number one across the board, although SC St. was ahead of us in some categories, but they play in the MEAC, so you have to take competition into account a little there. I didn't realize CC's tailback was that big.....goes around 230, that should be a nice challenge for us, because the big back out of Wofford last year had a good game against us....what the hell was his name Breitenstein?? Anyway that boy was a load and the real deal...CC's back looks to be the same and probably faster. It will be interesting to see how the Bison come out in this game, with the news of Bohl leaving. I believe they will either come out really flat or extremely focused and pissed off.....I'm leaning toward the latter.

Furman coach giving big praise to the NDSU defense.

http://www.uffp2.com/SMF20/index.php?topic=7932.90

"This. Full credit to NDSU!

I haven't seen a defensive clinic like that in years in terms of tackling (did we ever make a guy miss? - one that I recall.. ONE) between two FCS teams... Only when a well coached FBS plays an FCS is the speed and tackling that sure.. And even then we make some USC and Clemson guys miss. This was the most fundamentally sound tackling team I have seen in years. Credit to them

We threw some great balls and made some wonderful catches... But after that it was instantly on the ground if an NDSU guy was nearby. Great example the third down throw early in game near end zone we catch but NDSU guy hits our recvr immediately making it fourth and half a yard. Or when I thought Anderson was going in for a TD and super speedy NDSU guy shows up and smacks him immediately to ground.

Not only did they not miss tackles but the tackles stopped guys with decent momentum in their tracks. Just amazing. Not a cut on us, like I said, I see us make Clemson guys miss more than NDSU guys"

CC's offense will be a challenge for the Bison defense. Good passing attack and a big, bruising RB.

The Bison offense will be its best defense on Saturday IMO. Keep their offense off the field with long drives that produce TDs. Their defense looks average and the Bison should be able to move the ball on the ground and through the air.

The Bison have gotten everyone's A game this year and I suspect Saturday will be no different.

Not trying to spew sour grapes, but I think NDSU will make the defensive changes needed to shut CCU down, unlike Montana.

NDSUs is not designed to put up a ton of points, so the overall score will be closer than the actual game.

Agreed. And not to be snobby but our secondary is probably better than the Griz. Listening to Coach on Bison feedback tonight he alluded to making defensive stops on the run of Costal forcing them to throw. Which would be dangerous with Williams and crew.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

NDSU is scoring 37.2 ppg. 17th in FCS


IMO, that is why this Bison team is better than '11 and '12. The offense this year is very good. Coastal is not going to be able to stop both the running/passing games. The Bison will ground and pound them and the 2nd half will be their downfall.

They are a good team but the Bison are better.

[frozennorth]

Not trying to spew sour grapes, but I think NDSU will make the defensive changes needed to shut CCU down, unlike Montana.

NDSUs is not designed to put up a ton of points, so the overall score will be closer than the actual game.

NDSU averaged almost 40 points a game and have one of the best QB's and two of the best receivers out there. Excellent weapons all over the field.

I haven't seen CC play this year, but I'm curious how different they are then Lehigh a few years back??
they run alot more.

[Bison56]

Lets get this party pumped up!

[Bison56]

What defense does CC play? Do they play zone or man mostly?

And the O is it spread, wishbone, or what?

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Comparing the defenses:


Coastal Carolina -

Scoring defense: 29.2
Total defense: 446.7


NDSU -

Scoring defense: 11.2
Total defense: 250.0


NDSU gives up 18 less points/game and almost 200 total yards less/game...........xcoffeex................and playing better competition......

So I kind of chuckle when posters think CC is going to score in the 30s or even higher. I see this as a Furman type game except that Furman has a better defense. CC will hang around until the 2nd half.

It's a mixture of both. Lately we've been successful playing zone and bringing the corner and safety blitz. Our d has gotten much better as the season has gone on, but our biggest weakness is not jamming the receivers at the line of scrimmage to throw them off of their routes and give our blitz time to penetrate the o-line. That gives up a lot of underneath routes which result in first downs. However, we're good at locking it down in the red zone.

Furman played a good 1st half but football is 4 quarters. That is how I think this game will go.....the Bison will pound them in the 2nd half and win by 3 TDs.

Watching the Montana game they ran a version of the spread with a good mix of run/pass. Their defense looked like they were in a 4-3 most of the time.

That's a pretty good idea of it. In a few of the last games we've gone for the deeper pass too early in the first and second drive and it results in getting behind the 8 ball about 50 percent of the time. We absolutely have the capability of going deep but we need to start by running hard into the line with our Sunday quality back to create 3rd and shorts if a 2nd down pass fails. Those are just my thoughts on it. We have play makers all over the place on offense so it's hard to point to one. However, our difference maker is a secret weapon. He's small so he's easily overlooked but he's got some of the surest hands in football and isn't afraid to take a hit to make the play.

Hard to say. Furman's offensive numbers against NDSU were pretty respectable, and well over the Bison's averages on defense (besides points scored). CCU's offense is better than Furman's with a lot more experience.

I don't think it was so much Furman didn't play four quarters as they just couldn't make the necessary plays when needed. Those two drives that ended on the goal line were crippling. I'm not sure an objective Bison fan could argue that Furman wasn't a few inches from having 21 points on offense.

CCU has a better offense than most MVFC teams and thus, will have more time of possession. NDSU won't hold the ball nearly as much as they normally do.

After seeing the Bison come back to Win at K-State, I knew this year's team would finish strong in every game and had no doubt the Bison would pull away in the 2nd half.

The fact that SDSU put up a whole measly 17 points against EWU and EWU put up 41 on them while pretty much running the ball the whole second half.

Didn't NDSU only put 20 on SDSU?

Thought so.

That and NIU only put, what 26 on Northern Colorado?

While the Big South and the Big Sky are not the same, the MVFC has proven they are not an offensive league.

Well as was posted earlier we are averaging over 30 points per game so to compare our 20 against SDSU in the beginning of the season is a stretch. Comparatively yes we rely on defense for stops, but the TOP of the offense is just as important for our style of overall game scheme. CC can't score if the offense is sitting on the sidelines for 7-8 min a quarters, which is what can happen if our offense executes effectively. Not to mention if CC does get behind they will have to abandon the run in the second half which opens up our d for pick 6s or 4th and short stands which they are very good at. Now of course this is just speculation on my part, but if history tells a story, historically that's how we play.

And of course a very loud FD won't hurt, it can hurt any good offense if silent communication isn't well practiced by CC.

[Southern Bison]

Most non-MVFC teams that we face either OOC or in the playoffs can say that. Their conference is not as defensive-oriented or as physical as the MVFC. We've heard this for years and they've all had a long, sad plane ride home.

Next, you'll bring up "Southern Speed"...

NDSU ran the victory formation sdsu 3 a couple times as the game ended and had a touchdown called back on what was a completely blown call. That game was thisclose from being an absolute ass-kicking.

SDSU had 400 yard of offense against EWU and left 10 points on the field in the two quarters I watched.

If your whole argument is based the transitive properties of these games, I am going to have to disagree.

Let me remind you that Nothern Colorado scored only 7 pts. against N. Iowa and SDSU scored exactly 0 against NDSU. Scoring differential in each game was 19 and 20 pts. respectively. Double digit loses by common opponents does not prove your point.

[Green1]

I got a chance to look at SDSU vs. EWU box score and was a little surprised by the offensive output of SDSU. Same number of first downs by both teams (24). 3rd down efficiency was about equal for both teams. SDSU had 315 yards passing and an advantage in time of possession of almost 6 minutes! Seems like there are other issues besides T.O.P. that caused SDSU to lose that game.

EWU played SDSU at home, NDSU played them on the road to start with. NDSU had the ball 21 minutes longer than SDSU, grinding up 40 minutes of the game. CCU gave up 240 yards rushing to Furman, NDSU 102. CCU won by 7 over Furman, NDSU 31. Lot's of transitive property games we can play.

PS: Don't forget the Montana 31-27 over USD, NDSU 42-0 over USD with Joe Glenn stating the Bison are the best team he has ever seen at this level. ;)

TOP is a meaningless stat for us. We usually can score fairly quickly so TOP isn't really indicative of our performance.

So you have a deep defense that won't get wore down? We can expect you to put up points for 4 quarters? What happens if the big plays don't happen for you? Can you take what we give and drive 80 yards in 2 minutes and punch it in when the game is on the line? Has CC had any come from behind wins this year? I mean last minute game winning drives?

You neglect to take into consideration the fact that the weather played a huge role in that game. Field conditions were horrible due rain and a HS game the night before. NDSU dominated SDSU from start to finish.

SDSU was in the game against EWU and if it weren't for the 4th Qtr Turnovers it could've been a different game. Taking nothing away from EWU, they made the game what it was. But holding Zenner to 4 yards is something that hasn't happened and Sumner was ineffective. EWU's results vs SDSU does not equal NDSU's result vs SDSU.

I have no idea how we'll perform against you guys - the best FCS team in the country - but against our schedule:

With a few exceptions, we've been able to put up points for 4 quarters. We are a pretty balanced offense and usually will be able to take what the defense gives and can move the ball.

Our defense typically starts off slow but is well conditioned and outlasts the other team late in the game. We've had to come from behind, most notably tying Liberty late in the game and winning in 2OT.

The CSU game I see as what you will try to do and sounds like your typical game plan anyway - our offense came out slow and our defense played like the normally do. So we were in a hole at halftime. In the second half we started to put up points but our D couldn't get the necessary stops so CSU just grinded the clock and we couldn't get the ball to score. When we did get a turnover we couldn't convert that into points. I think we learned from that game but implementing it against you guys will be tough.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Lets put it this way. I have no doubt that CC and their fans will have a very different opinion of theirs and NDSU's quality at the end of this game.

They really won't know what hit them.

I did not read through this whole thread, but looking at your team's season stats, I believe I saw 16 fumbles, 10 of which were lost. Has that been an ongoing issue, or was it 2 or 3 bad games that inflated the numbers?

For comparison, CCU has had 12 fumbles and lost 5 of them in 14 games.

In a game like this, like last week, penalties and turnovers will be huge for CCU. I am just looking at more numbers and I see the turnover battle is CCU: 13(8 INTs and 5 fumbles) and No Dak St: 16 (6 INTs and 10 fumbles). From a penalty perspective CCU: 6/game for 53 yards, and No Dak St: 5/game for 42.

A couple bad games where we had multiple fumbles on punt and kick returns mostly. We haven't fumbled it away much as of late. TO's are always a potential disaster though. Biggest problem is we haven't been creating as many this year as in the past.

In fact the only game that NDSU has played close was the UNI game where we had 2 fumbles inside our own 30 and they got a FG from both. That is a huge advantage.

Nobody is underestimating your team. You may be good, but NDSU is just way better than everyone else.

Yeah, turnover differential has been surprisingly poor for the Bison this year. They were +1 last week against Furman and they're now even on the season. IMO, that validates how good this team is in that they don't need turnovers to blow out opponents.

I liken CCU to Sam Houston St. Higher powered, but balanced, offense where the run game is the straw that stirs the drink. I see NDSU's defense approaching this game similar to SHSU where they focus on containing Taliaferro (CCU's version of Tim Flanders) to force CCU to the air and they continually put hits on Ross (CCU's version of Brian Bell) after that to try to force him into making mistakes. I think CCU stays in this game until the mid-3rd quarter before they just get worn down. The comment by one of the CCU fans about "TOP doesn't mean much to us" plays exactly into NDSU's recipe for success which is ground and pound and, as the cliché goes, those 2-3 yard runs in the 1st quarter turn into 5-8 yard runs in the 3rd and 4th quarters. It'll be tough for Taliaferro and Ross to score in the 4th quarter, as it has been for NDSU opponents all year, when they're on the sideline watching NDSU methodically ram the ball down the field.

Of course this all assumes that the Bison are handle the Bohl distraction but the further we get into the week the more confident I am that it'll be a non-factor.

Took a look back at the Furman game and Yes, Furman had the ball longer and CCU won. I doubt the coaches and team will under estimate your team like some Bison fans have been. Wins against 4 playoff teams so far too.

Furman had more TOP than NDSU last week as well.

If you are able to stop the run we will throw, if you aren't we will ram it down your throat. Furman stacked the box.. and it worked for a little while. Then we adjusted.

Yep. This year is way different than either of the two. You can see how mature the offense has become and is now an asset instead of a liability this year.

Giving their offense some respect. It is pretty good.

Its pretty much half of what they have been averaging, I think its fair. I don't see us holding that offense w a strong qb and rb to just 10 or 14 points.

CCU offense v NDSU defense is the irresistible force v the immovable object. I think the boulder wins. CCU is averaging about 42 a game, NDSU is giving up about 11. Coastal is excellent on offense, I think they'll score about 21.

NDSU on offense is methodical. They break down good defensive teams over time until the flood gates open and they run them over. Coastal isn't a consistent enough team on defense to stop them. I think NDSU will score at least 35.

NDSU 35
CCU 21

[SpeedkingATL]

Should be an interesting game but if NDSU doesn't turn the ball over (not likely) they will slowly grind down the beach chickens and control the clock and the game. Even with the distractions I expect the players to keep their eye on the 3-peat and undefeated season. Home field is worth at least one score in their building too.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Sounds like they're likely asking about it rather than them talking about it.



“There was a players-only meeting and it was discussed. I’m not going to say what was discussed, but it was a good conversation,” North Dakota State junior defensive end Kyle Emanuel said Tuesday. “Obviously emotions were running higher at that time, but at the end of the day we decided whatever was decided we’re going to be 100-percent all in, and that’s the way we are.”
Emanuel said everything has been back to normal for the Bison since that meeting, and he does not consider the situation a lingering distraction for the team.
“It was a little different at first,” Emanuel said. “Sunday was kind of a hectic day when [we] first found out about it, but it’s kind of been business as usual after that. Coach Bohl is still here with us, which I’m glad he is. Yesterday at practice, it was like nothing was different.”

Yep. Just like 2011 when a previously untested SHSU came in undefeated with a modest conference schedule and beat up the Big Fluffy on their way to the championship where they got shut down mightily by this same group as Sophomores.

CC fans:


I'm sure most of you have watched at least some highlights of the Bison this year. Do you think your defense can consistently shut down the Bison offense to win this game. IMO....no!

The CC offense is good but I believe the Bison defense will stop them enough to win the game. What I mean by 'enough' is that the Bison defense will hold your offense to 1/2 of its usually output...about 21 points. After watching the CC defense, IMO, they cannot consistently stop the Bison offense.

That will be the Bison's best defense on Saturday....a ground and pound offense.

We will do whatever we want to you. Run at will and when you commit everyone to stop the run we will play action pass to wide open WR's and TE's.

Defense is where there is no comparison. We are going to stuff your run game and punish your QB on every drop back. When the game is over the only thing you will be left with is how your got your asses handed to you like every other FCS team we have played this year except one...our Rival UNI...

Other than K St. you guys have been relatively untested this year as well.
I would say that UNI was a pretty good test for the Bison this year. When UNI was at full strength playing the Bison, they were a damn good team.

South Dakota State was a playoff team that won their first game and were statistically respectable against EWU (even if not on the scoreboard). The Bison dominated SDSU and held them scoreless.

Southern Illinois was a fair measuring stick too. They did take Eastern Illinois into overtime, even if there is room for some caveats.

Youngstown may have been a bit overrated with a soft schedule at the beginning of the year, but they were no pushovers either.

UNI, SIU, and Youngstown were all just a few plays away from being playoff teams.

When you include K-State in the mix, I don't see how anyone could conclude that the Bison were relatively untested this year.

[jmrepak]

at least 5 teams who were ranked at the time.
I'm pretty sure we played 7 teams that were ranked at some point and 3 of which finished ranked. 5 of those were ranked at the time of play, but I think EKU slipped into the ORV the week before we played and SC St. wasn't ranked until later.

Ranked teams: GWU, CSU, Montana, SC St. , B-C, EKU, and SCar.
Non-ranked teams: Hampton, Presby, VMI, Liberty (I thought they were at one point, but I guess not), Furman, Elon and UNC-Charlotte

[Green1]

Under the new format that means they are currently unranked.

One of the reasons they are now unranked is due to their losses to NDSU.

Another is that they played each other and beat each other up. W-L records don't always reflect the quality of these teams and affects their ranking with people not closely familiar with their situations.
