Boy Gustafson sure is having a game! He's got 3 TD's today! I mean two were to the Bison, but still. He may be our leading passer today.

1st game of the season.

Lots of young guys on the team.

Team hadn't gelled yet.


No CJ

I still cannot believe we lost to Montana in August seeing them now.

[Cleets]

This has been an absolute destruction of the Griz in EVERY PHASE / Just complete domination

[X-Factor]

Seriously though. Grizz fans picking on CJ Smith earlier in the week is music to my ears right now. So hilarious

[DaBizon]

I hate to root against the conference...but I hope Portland wins later today.

I have to be honest. I picked the Griz in my bracket for this game. I really didn't think the Bison D was mature enough to handle the Griz WR in the playoffs. This is eye opening to me.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Classless douche. Why don't you just disappear again?
Seriously. You might have been one of them. About 6 guys literally jumping all over me in my seat. That's classy, don't you think?

[X-Factor]

Jesus, Gustafson is so terrible in this game.

Griz fans, I still love you (AG1 included), just know I have to rub it in for another quarter after all the chest thumping this week. ;)

[Cleets]

Not many teams as physical as UNI.

Not their fault you took up 3 seats all by yourself.

[Twentysix]

Are you sure about that..?

Dunno if NDSU can beat uni again.

[MTfan4life]

This happened against Cal Poly, too, where it seemed Gustafson and the receivers just weren't on the same page for so many plays. Back then it was the start of the season in a new complex offense. Now at the end with it still happening seemingly every other play, it makes you wonder how long it's going to take before the chemistry gets more fluid. The defense has played better than I expected, but boy is the offense struggling. Hang much of that on the improved Bison defense, but when you see a direct pass to a defensive player and the WR is running a different route happen multiple times, it makes you scratch your head wondering which player is doing things incorrectly.

[Drblankstare]

Cmon refs

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Yes I'm sure about that


Depends on which UNI team shows up tonight.

[TheKingpin28]

I am shocked by this game. IMO if NDSU D plays this way for the rest of the game and hopefully next, I don't think anyone can stop them.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

NDSU is just as physical as UNI.

I´ll NDSU in a potential rematch.

Dude...shut the **** up and act like you have been there before. I had the exact opposite experience in August. Some good natured ribbing, but nothing over the top. Be a bigger man about it.

[Southern Bison]

We'll give y'all the August game and we'll take the December game...plus we'll gladly throw in ND4E just to get rid of him.

[chattownmocs]

Well NDSU has it rolling at the right time again. They may have to very well go through the 3 toughest teams in the bracket on their drive for 5, but they look up to the task.

[veinup]

edit: nvm

[Silenoz]

What a schizophrenic season. FYI this is by far our biggest FCS loss in nearly 20 years. Being an elite program is starting to get real distant in the rearview mirror...

[kdinva]

NDSU getting warm AND Confident at the right time......

What the announcer just said is true. No where in San Diego sells San Diego State gear.


Out of the 3 or so targets I've been to, only one had a single hoodie hung on the charger wall. Walmart etc have nothing.

[SDSUAlum08]

Actually, Montana kicked SDS' ass in the first half, sat on its 24 point lead, and SDS didn't come close to pulling it off. If Montana didn't take a knee on the last 3 plays, Montana would probably have scored another TD.


Sorry. I meant NDSU by 30.

So I was pretty impressed by the grizz defense. Obviously the grizz offense was completely over matched in this game. But if they never gave up.

[centennial]

Well, that couldn't have gone much worse.

Your defense played well. You really lack a quality RB. Also this is why I dislike the spread, if you are not doing well it gives you no chance. When you have the best athletes in the country like Baylor or TCU it is much easier to run this system.

[Drblankstare]

Same here, but this feels like a reunion tour. The Bison are going to play all their best hits

I thought their RB was great the rest of the season... something else was going on.

[uofmman1122]

Seriously though, you guys will be back. We will meet again in the playoffs.Sure hope so.

I like Stitt, and think he'll get us back to a higher level. May not be what we once were, but hardly any team ever will (besides what you guys have been doing).

The biggest issue we have is that we have some amazing players, but are below average in some position groups. That used to never be the case. We also haven't had a killer instinct since about 2009.

If Stitt can fix those two things, we might get back to contending for titles every year.

Right now, it's still too early.

Great game, Bison. You were the much better team today.

[Green26]

Congrats to Bison. Dominating performance. Terrific D. Kicked our butts. As some of you said, your D bothered our QB, and eventually sacked him. Noticed some of your disguised coverages and nice play by the corners and secondary. The UM receivers showed more of their stuff in the second half, but the long kickoff returned ended any change of the Griz making it a game. Looks like you should roll to your 5th championship. I was impressed. I knew your running backs were good, and they certainly were.

[Scooter]

Go UNI! Always root MVC. Good day to be a Bison as they were the better team. Congrats to Montana on a good season.

Calhoun will be a good one. Right now we're without a real explosive back, and our offensive line leaves a lot to be desired. Our last o line coach set the program back years with some of his terrible tendencies and recruiting decisions.

[centennial]

I thought their RB was great the rest of the season... something else was going on.
They have one above average RB Nyugen, he is slippery but if stopped- kills the run. They need more variety and depth. Receivers are probably among the best in the FCS though. The something else was the line play, and planning. Seeing this game and the last Stitt makes poor adjustments. He will sniff out mismatches but lacks the ability to change gameplans when things aren't going his way.

[Southern Bison]

Go PSU!! We'll roll through the Big Fluffy and then hope for Richmond to join us in Fargo on the 19th!

Possibly that is an effect of out-scheming everyone at a lower level, and thus never having to adjust. He will probably learn and be able to adjust as his career at Montana continues.

[Green26]

NDSU is 1/10 on third down and they lead 37-6.

NDSU ended up 1 for 14 on 3d down conversions. At least, the Griz won something. Ha.

[caribbeanhen]

[Twentysix]

Out of the entire field, I think UNI probably stands the best chance at beating NDSU... so I would have to agree that they would/will be our biggest hurdle.

Maybe PSU can do us a favor, but I'm not counting on it.

[Bisonator]

Hell of a game by the Bison defense today. Safe to say they had something to prove today. I know the Griz fans don't like to admit it but the FargoDome really is a wicked place to play a PO game. I think that had a big impact on your QB/WR reads today. They were clearly on different page today. Our offense was rather inconsistent but credit the Griz defense for some of that they made a gallant effort to keep them in the game. Our FG kicker definitely needs work. Cam looked lost out there today!

that PSU vs N Iowa is the tough game to gauge for me, should be a good game

[WTFCollegefootballfan]

I think the Bison were jumping routes making the WR's change direction. Then throwing off the timing passes.

[centennial]

I think so. In the half time interview he pretty much identities where he can go to give his team a chance. It however stored there, and once we adjusted he was stuck. What really stood out to me was the lack of trying anything else.

I don't remember the backup RB coming in, QB could have possibly be changed. Give NDSU a different look, your are losing anyway, but he kept going to the same plays over and over. If I could read what plays were coming so could the coaches. Didn't even try many different formations. Notice how NDSU ran a lot of misdirection to stop Montana from being effective at stacking the box- no adjustments, none. We were running outside at will and he also did nothing.

[Drblankstare]

That is truly an incredible and frustrating stat.

Coach Ty deserves a ton of credit.

Wasnt this the story all year for the Griz. Solid D, but the O couldn't hold up the bargain. I Know Gus was hurt for a stretch, but still

[Da Herd]

Meltdown in full effect on eGriz. I didn't agree last week when people gave SDSU credit for the 2nd half when the griz let off the gas and I dont agree with some of the griz fans thinking an avg game from Gus gives them a 50% chance of winning today.

I was about that O after watching the jacks game, feeling pretty good about the Bison D after today!

I think a great deal of credit for the outcome of today's game compared to the season opener has to do with the Bison staff having game film of stitt's offense.

[centennial]

I hate my frekin phone auto correcting everything I write..

[uofmman1122]

It was, but the O looked like it had turned a corner, at least until the second half of the SDSU game.

Makes me wonder if Gus was a little banged up. Ever since that 3rd quarter started, something has been off. Could just be a mental thing, which is what some Griz fans are suggesting.

But yeah, more often than not our defense has played well, only for the offense to drop the ball.

Our offense should be better next year, if only because the more time in the system will help everyone.

[Schism55]

A couple things fellas.
1. The boys are back.
2. GF will be getting a jolly good rodgering later while I envision Bruce Andersons' 100 yd KO return TD :D. I assume posting a vid of said activities would be frowned upon in these parts?
3. Bison served notice. Watch out.
4. Sexual buffet is open at my pad tonight.

Stitt should do the honorable thing and recruit his own replacement.

Sure hope there is some major effort to recruit a transfer hotshot QB for next year.

Montana is too rich a program for a coach like Stitt. He would have been a great OC at this level for a program like Montana. He really fed UofM some bullStitt.

We won't advance with Brady as the qb. He can throw but he is a mental mess and isn't near mobile enough.


Exactly. Brady doesn't seem tough enough mentally to play a big game like this. He pretty much single handedly lost this game. Kind of like Tanner Bleskin at last year's Brawl.

Couldn't get a single one of them to take a shot of the outstanding Buffalo Trace bourbon I brought along specifically because Bison fans say they enjoy a drink. xsmhx

I'm inclined to root for UNI over NDSU just for that, and I'd root for Saddam Hussein if he were playing UNI.

A couple things fellas.
1. The boys are back.
2. GF will be getting a jolly good rodgering later while I envision Bruce Andersons' 100 yd KO return TD :D. I assume posting a vid of said activities would be frowned upon in these parts?
3. Bison served notice. Watch out.
4. Sexual buffet is open at my pad tonight.

This is one weird post

[Peems]

First off, congrats Bison. Your D played outstanding and dominated the game. Brady was rattled and boy did it make a difference. I thought the Griz had a chance, our D played well enough, but you can't gift 2 pick sixes and have two more turnovers and expect to beat the champs. That KO return was a backbreaker. The Griz COULD have won if they played an outstanding game and made no mistakes. They did not. Again, congrats on the win and best of luck the rest of the way.

[jacksfan29]

Actually, Montana kicked SDS' ass in the first half, sat on its 24 point lead, and SDS didn't come close to pulling it off. If Montana didn't take a knee on the last 3 plays, Montana would probably have scored another TD.

I guess Zimmer's take on the Griz was accurate. Just saying.

Oh, and Stitt made a fool of himself prior to the Bison game, much like after the SDSU game; very D2

Zimmer was right that the Bison would roll. Nevertheless, the Griz kicked SDS' ass, and you and your guys were watching on tv yesterday, while the Griz played the Bison. I am unimpressed with Zimmer, as well as you. You both appear to be bad losers.

If your going to say that the Griz kicked SDSU ass, that is fine. But then you would need to change you thought of the Bison rolling the Griz to a more appropriate term like ..........oh, DESTROYED the Griz.

[Silenoz]

Destroyed is a very good description

At least Jones had a good game. He got to go out on a (personal) high note. One of the most under-valued Griz, possibly ever.

Bison D was cold blooded yesterday. Welcome to the new boss, same as the old boss.

[srgrizizen]

Congrats to the Bison and thanks for all of the very fair posts on this thread. One could make a case for how it could have been closer (Gus horribly inaccurate not entirely caused by the much improved pass defense - the pick sixes were on the QB, not great plays by DBs - and the Griz defense from scrimmage was plenty good, less than 4 ypc except for one Stick run and five punts) but no case can be made for UM having any chance to win the game. We need either an offensive line that gives our QB 10 seconds to throw and/or a QB who can run. Good luck going forward, Bison. I've heard some people say it's hard to beat a team twice in a season.xthumbsupx

I am. I made an offhanded comment which naturally got blown out of proportion but I'm not going to be called stupid or a liar without answering it.

You make a lot of off handed comments that always get blown out of proportion. Maybe you ought to shut your ****ing mouth once in a while cuz a lot of **** runs out of it. Just a thought.

I was kinda dumbfounded watching the game. You could tell there were certain things the Bison absolutely took away (having CJ Smith back REALLY changes the dynamic of the NDSU secondary...especially when they go Nickel), but we were all waiting for adjustments by the Griz....either their silent count, go down field passing, adjust formations to force NDSU to go off script on D, etc. When they didn't make adjustments, I assumed they would regroup and change it up at halftime. NONE of this happened. It was bizarre...

On the noise front, you could tell Montana wasn't able to go as up tempo as they wanted to. There was a lot of time in between plays that really kept them out of rhythm (outside of their one scoring drive).

ALOT of the below.....

Huh? The Griz burned NDSU deep twice on their first drive of the third quarter.

[BisonFan02]

I should have added the (outside of their 1 scoring drive) disclaimer to the quote as well versus just the noise factor. I know they couldn't have gone to that well every time, but those deep balls were not the ones being intercepted....half the time they would draw a PI or allow the Griz playmakers to make a play on the ball.

Well you laid a lot of things out that were really puzzling to me as well and these are holes in this system that just should not be there.

We ran a similar high octane thing 20 yrs. ago and there was some need to change plays at the line but what mostly happened was that all offensive groups came to the ine, noticed what was happening on D, then all adjusted in their own heads without having to change to another play call.

Every play that was called had an alteration to adjust for a dynamic defense scheme.

I don't know if this is just not in this offense, or if it is what was really causing problems wiht people not reading the same things or what was really going on. No matter what you defense is doing or what your crowd noise is it shouldn't matter that much when things run correct and the groups are on the same page.

But it did make a big difference. The one drive showed what the Griz should be and could be. The rest showed what NDSU is. It is just that simple.

If it gets to the point where the lineman, the QB, the WR's, and RB's all walk up to the line, see the same thing, and implement the version of any particular play that is called. It is unstoppable. That is just a way higher ceiling than we have right now.

But I am not even sure that is part of this offense. It sure should be. We have to play of the road at times.:D

[TheKingpin28]

Huh? The Griz burned NDSU deep twice on their first drive of the third quarter.

Oh no, they got 2 deep passes in. Whatever will they do? When CJ is in at corner, he is the BEST shutdown corner in the MVFC and possibly the FCS. There is a reason why Montana would not throw it his direction.

Oh and remind us how the Hawks did in the secondary agaisnt the Bison? I'd really love to know since I keep forgetting it. Generally I really do not care what team you represent (unless you are a Redbird fan, except ISUMatt and OSBF) but for some reason you Fighting Hawks fans, are starting to irk me even more. I usually get along with anyone but why is it Hawks fans on this board are all about dismantling NDSU any chance they can.

Yup....one of the keys is the ability to go fast. That forces NDSU to go fairly vanilla on D and not be able to change scheme. If the Bison are able to make reads/adjustments on D, the Griz O is dead in their tracks. Do you think those two pick 6's by NDSU were the result of NDSU baiting Gustafson on a play? I think the Griz QB was throwing the ball were he thought the receiver was supposed to break (for sure on the CJ Smith interception).

Yes, it makes him look like an asshole when it happens but Dickenson used to be able basically not even look at times and just throw and the receiver was there. We ain't even close to that.

[AmsterBison]

OK, that made me laugh because it applies so well to me too.

Anyway, I thought Montana's defense did an excellent job. Not only were they incredible on third down, but they held NDSU to a season low in total yardage. And, of course, the offense has all sorts of potential.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

BTW, I think I had mentioned early on that Brady does also have a tendency to throw at the feet or overthrow and if he gets in that sort of trouble..he doesn't come out of it easily or fully in a game it seems.

[jacksfan29]

Zimmer was right that the Bison would roll. Nevertheless, the Griz kicked SDS' ass, and you and your guys were watching on tv yesterday, while the Griz played the Bison. I am unimpressed with Zimmer, as well as you. You both appear to be bad losers.

Kicked our ass? Now that's funny. One quarter of **** FB doomed us against an average FB team. But hey, enjoy your off season. We are. Like all Summit schools, we spend much of our non-conference BB season burying the Big Fluffy.

[Bisonator]

Those would have been better then his passes to our DB's. xlolx

I do think our defense set up a lot of those bad throws/wrong reads by both the QB & WR's. The DB's were baiting and switching at the last second just about every snap.

Aside from the misdirected UND stuff (my team is listed below my name xthumbsupx), did you even read what I was replying to? xeyebrowx

He was arguing that the Griz didn't make any halftime adjustments to throw it deep or anything, and I pointed out the Griz completed two over-the-top passes on the first drive of the third quarter (the scoring drive).

I'm pretty sure what you're arguing is actually the basis of this offense. Most of it (especially the run calls) seems to be based on how many defenders are in the box, what coverage the defense is showing, etc. It requires to QB to read quite a bit, from the looks of it, so it can be a disaster if the QB is reading things wrong. I believe it also works like the run & shoot in that it relies on a lot of option routes & decision making by the WRs. Most of Gustafson's picks this year were miscommunications of some kind, so hopefully another full offseason of practices can rectify a lot of these issues.

This is where I really think Stitts offense is going to struggle at higher levels. When he get's in games where the crowd becomes a huge factor and the opposing defense can switch looks at the last second it's going to be very difficult for your QB and WR's to be on the same page every time. When the QB is reading something and the WR is reading something else and then the defense does something completely different your screwed. Add in the fact that our front four were getting off the snap very quickly and putting pressure on Brady every time. Stitt will have to figure out a better way to signal the snap then what you guys did Saturday.

Like I said on this thread before. Stitt is bad at changing game plans, almost to the point of being stubborn. Adjustments are poor. When he is out planned, he doesn't adjust fast enough. I know I give NDSU coaches lot of **** for the same, but Stitt now has to deal with more talented coaches, and better schemes. Add to that Brady is a pocket passer, and doesn't roll out or run well. IMO Stitt will need more variety on offense. If the offense doesn't evolve it become gimmicky, and now that teams have film on him, he will have to do better. Montana needs a good dual threat QB to be a NC contender.

They've only been running the offense for a year with a first-year starting QB that's been out for half of it. I'm sure there's a lot more complexity to come.

A bigger key will be more consistent run blocking so they can regularly make defenses pay for not putting enough guys in the box. Fortunately, only one Griz O-linemen graduates this offseason.

[Bisonoline]

I sure hope we can get a regular series going with you guys. Great fans and great football is what it is all about.

As far as the snap count, when it gets loud enough there is almost nothing else you can do but go silent count. It gives away the O line's edge with knowing the verbal count, but you have to almost just concede that and move on.

As far as WOs and QB communication, my understanding of Stitt's offense is that the WOs run their given routes regardless of what play is checked into. Some of them are running zone routes and others are running man routes. It's up to the QB to decipher which defense they are in and throw to the correct routes. Disguised coverages and noise can cause mistakes like we saw on Saturday.

That makes sense and answers my questions of why he was throwing the ball to where he was throwing. But I think a lot of it also had to do with the fact he didnt respond well to pressure.

I look at this as a disadvantage even with a seasoned QB. I stand on the side of support the play vs create confusion, and hope for the best.

What's Stitt's offense trying to do?
BTW I think you could win a NC with it. Just not in it's current form(maybe there is some hidden complexity that will come forth next year, I don't see it).

Aside from the misdirected UND stuff (my team is listed below my name xthumbsupx), did you even read what I was replying to? xeyebrowx

He was arguing that the Griz didn't make any halftime adjustments to throw it deep or anything, and I pointed out the Griz completed two over-the-top passes on the first drive of the third quarter (the scoring drive).

I did read it, and I owned up to not seeing the team support. Using the mobile version is no excuse but it didn't indicate it but I still will own up for being wrong.

The problem that I have is 2 plays is not changing a gameplan. That's trying to hit 2 home runs in back to back swings. Now if they would have stuck to it or continued to try and give Gustafson more time, and better reads, then yes that is changing, but I do not see how 2 throws are anything but trying to get lucky and catch the Bison D off guard.

He claimed the griz didn't make any halftime adjustments & used not throwing deep as an example even though the Griz did throw deep multiple times in the third quarter. That was my point. It's obviously not something super clever or anything, but it did work for a drive-and-a-half. Stitt's comments to the sideline reporter coming out of halftime implied they mainly needed to adjust getting Gustafson on the same page as what the coaches were seeing more than anything else.

I was getting at the fact that most of these offenses aren't meant to be very complicated. They work on going fast(so the opponent has to run it's base D), and they work on reads that the QB and the O coordinator is making. Like alluded to in this thread, a lot of plays are from similar formations, then the QB makes the read. Once good defensive teams see this offense, it becomes easier to stop(SDSU 2nd half, NDSU game).

To my point now, Stitt made poor adjustments, and didn't try much new. I think some new formations will come, you may even get athletes better suited but he will need to expand his system or at least open the playbook. I don't think it is bad system at all, for now I am not impressed with Stitt.

Like I said on this thread before. Stitt is bad at changing game plans, almost to the point of being stubborn. Adjustments are poor. When he is out planned, he doesn't adjust fast enough. I know I give NDSU coaches lot of **** for the same, but Stitt now has to deal with more talented coaches, and better schemes. Add to that Brady is a pocket passer, and doesn't roll out or run well. IMO Stitt will need more variety on offense. If the offense doesn't evolve it become gimmicky, and now that teams have film on him, he will have to do better. Montana needs a good dual threat QB to be a NC contender.

I'm sure the Bison coaches are concerned and considering your input Centi

Top 10 reasons why Northern Iowa will beat the Bison....
N Iowa players will not be intimadated by the Trump supporting looking crowd

there skill players don't really have that much

Wentz is out

#49 is to small and Bailey will run over him

Due to the plunge in the price of oil, they slush fund for paying the refs is as dry as a Bakken oil field

Fargo is bored by the same old win win and fans are looking for an excuse to drink more this winter

N Iowa will feel at home at a football field with a Silo attached to it and the noise will not be an issue

Bailey will be the best player in the drafty barn

City of Fargo planners need to run a mass causality drill ....18,000 people taken to hospital for shock

FCS Community is sick and tired of the Bison domination and want to see this Big 10 Bully go pick on somebody else

So one thing I don't necessarily like this time of year is how quiet it gets around here. Teams go home and their fans pack it in. It was a fun week with all the Griz but now they are off hibernating.

Looks like Gustafson just threw another pick 6.

Well, if the shoe was on the other foot, who would Bison fans be cheering for?

I'd probably just want to watch some good football games.

True.

I have a question for you. What are your thoughts on the player cuts at Montana?

[Grizalltheway]

True.

Obviously unfortunate for the ones who were cut, but when you have such a radical change in coaching philosophy and offensive scheme, not to mention the on-going scholarship reductions, I think it's kind of inevitable.

I really dislike the philosophy of mass cuts. A player or two with bad attitude I can maybe understand. The NCAA should allow such players to transfer without sitting. Seems like Stitt took this loss hard. Not the players fault he got completely outclassed and out coached.
