National Championship: NDSU vs Jacksonville State

[Prime Power]

Should be a good game. NDSU's defense vs Jacksonville's offense. Let the debates begin.

[NDSUFREAK]

In terms of high powered offense vs NDSU defense see the last four years. End of debate.

[Southern Bison]

JSU has been fairly dominant except for the Auburn & 2 Chatty games...both that have formidable defenses. NDSU's D has been progressively getting better since August and played "lights out" last night.

NDSU's power offense vs. Jax. St. defense is a win for the Bison.

I have NDSU winning this. But only because of what they've done on the past. I think JSU can pull this off.

[Da Herd]

I'm just going to drop this off.

I think it will be a good game. We need to look at what Chatty did. NDSU offense is comparable(without Wentz) with edge to JSU, NDSU defense is better. This will come down to if JSU can take a punch to the mouth, and give it back. NDSU is more battle tested.

Good luck to both schools! GO CATS!

Can't wait to meet some Bison fans next month. Just booked my flight. Tickets go on sale tomorrow here.

It remains to be seen, we won't know until January. But you gotta know JSU has lost what, 3 games in the last two seasons? To Michigan State, to Auburn in overtime and I think the third was to the team they destroyed today. (JSU fans, correct me if I' m wrong about the three teams). I saw these guys play this season, they are no push overs. Go Jax!

What time?

[JSUSoutherner]

I feel like people aren't giving the JSU defense enough credit on here. We just limited the number one offense in the country to 10 points and <300 yards. People thought we would be overpowered by Auburn too.

It's gonna be a good one. Go Cocks.

[CockyGeek]

What time?
They said 1 pm. Season ticket holders and suite holders get first dibs. I'm not sure what the allotment is.

One good team doesn't make a conference good. Also JSU is the #1 seed so NDSU is the underdog in this one.

Yep. You guys do avoid the rush and suck up to NDSU early. You are defeated before the season begins. Our conference mates want to beat us, not worship us they way you guys do NDSU.

Bison have lost 5 games the last 5 seasons and won the most important game 4 times, the last game of the playoffs. Last years Seniors had 4 rings and 3 losses in their career. They did beat Kansas St, Iowa St, Minnesota and Colorado St during that time too.

In the last two seasons we only have one loss to an FCS opponent, NDSU has three. I don't see what you're trying to prove. JSU's record under Grass has been spectacular.

[hebmskebm]

Interesting tidbit: According to michigan-football.com Jax State is one of only 4 teams that have beaten NDSU more than once but NDSU has never beaten (since 1945). They're 0-2 against the Gamecocks. The others are Iowa (0-2), Drake (0-2), and Marquette (RIP) (0-3).

[uni88]

IMO many are underestimating JSU. They have the talent, skill and chemistry necessary to play with and beat the Bison. I'm not as sure about their depth. The big question is do they have the testicular virility to survive the physical assault?

This is shaping up as a great NC game with the 2 best teams in FCS going at it.

This very good to great team appears to be the exception to OVC mediocrity.

[caribbeanhen]

Jacksonville State is by far the best team that North Dakota Estado has met in the finals, better than the Siamese Sammy teams, better than Towson and better than Ill State, but will they be good enough to beat the Bison...... you bet!

Fans can underestimate all they want....it doesn't matter. I doubt that the coaching staff and players are underestimating Jacksonville State. Sucks that we all have to wait 3 weeks for this game. Should be a good, competitive game.

[Professor Chaos]

One overlooked aspect of this game may be the familiarity that NDSU has with the 3 week layoff and the championship week festivities whereas JSU will be experiencing it all for the first time with a completely new "routine". Once the teams get settled in it won't make much of a difference either way but if the Bison can jump out to a quick start there may something to be said for having previous experience in this game.

[Scooter]

I think this will come down to which team handles the three week layoff the best. JSU looked really good tonight.

I think the two best teams will be in Frisco. Congratulations to JSU. You really took care of business.

[2ram]

based on the semis, this is going to be a great game.

To bad there wasn't a MVFC team in JSU's bracket.

[TheKingpin28]

If the Bison play gap sound football, this game will be a reminder of the 2011 championship. Nothing against Flanders, but NDSU has always heard "southern speed" or, you havent seen this kind of offense before, but let me, bear the bad news. They have and it has yet to fair well for any opponent. When they met that "unstoppable" offense, they neutralized it and kept the Bison O on the field for a majority of the game.

All this said, if the team that showed up Friday night, sans kicking, shows up on the 9th, this game will get ugly fast. You can't just drive down the field on them and then expect a 3 and out from your D. They will make you regret it if you think that you can trust your D against a power O. All in all, I got the, drive for 5 going 35-20 NDSU

[Cocky]

The tickets will not be open to the public until Tuesday or Wednesday. They will first be offered to season ticket holders and students before the public can purchase any. With the NDSU fans having purchase all available tickets we probably wont have many, if any, available to the public.

It was last year, so it does not do anything to predict this year, however that one loss was to a team NDSU demolished a couple weeks later.

I believe JSU is real good, but their regular season schedule and playoff bracket have not prepared them for this game. We shall see what happens in a few weeks, a poor schedule does not make a poor team, and a strong schedule does not make a strong team.

Bison will win because they got through UNI. That was the best shot for ending this run.

JSU is an extremely talented team, with a great record and they almost beat Auburn, you should be very proud of your team. I just don't think your defense is good enough, your offense is obviously talented but I think you need to score 30 to win this game, I don't see how your getting that with the way the Bison defense has been playing. Best of luck and enjoy the buildup to the game.

So JSU is being allocated 2500 total tickets...so with 500 of the band gone they are only selling 2000 tickets to their fans?? Again, if I was a cocks fan and saw how much of that allotment was going to the band (from what some posters have said) I would freak the **** out.

I doubt that we will take 500 tickets. I imagine it will only be around 100 people out of the band in the seats with the rest of us in the end zone. I don't think any of our fans would have a problem with us taking tickets. We used over 700 tickets (and we still didn't fit) at Auburn from our ticket allotment (the game had sold out way beforehand) and no one had a problem with it. People here love us.

The Rhett Bomar Sam Houston State Bearkats in Huntsville 2009 scored 48.

Most points ever in the 121 year history is 49 against Nebraska Omaha in 2002.

[katstrapper]

I feel like people aren't giving the JSU defense enough credit on here. We just limited the number one offense in the country to 10 points and <300 yards. People thought we would be overpowered by Auburn too.

It's gonna be a good one. Go Cocks.

JSU defense played good, but i think u will have to admit that 24 points off of 4 turnovers is what really slowed the Kat Offense down and didnt allow them to get into any rhythm at all. It was a terrible display of football by a team that is way much better than it showed.

Speaking from experience in 2011 and 2012, good luck to JSU fans finding enough tickets to even make a difference. NDSU fans will have every other ticket besides the ones allotted bought up, not too mention hotels within a reasonable distance. Bison will have 3 weeks to prepare for JSU and that bodes pretty well for them.

Enjoy the experience of Frisco, but be ready for a different Bison team in the championship game.

Prediction: Bison 39-10

[RootinFerDukes]

Those soccer stadiums are a different animal. I was at the DII National Championship game at Sporting Park in KC yesterday and a crowd of 16k, mostly Northwest Missouri State fans made it LOUD. We had seats at field level and I was very surprised.

Let me preface that with the caveat that it's not even close to Fargodome loud but with the right motivation that many people can make enough noise to make a difference.

[Cocky]

Personally, I hope the band get all of the seats needed. College football should be about the students first then the old folks. Let them have their fun while they are young and can pass the experience along to next generation.

As far as the game goes our advantages will be in the OL and DL. Our depth will be the key to the game. Playing 7 OL and 10-11 DL is hard for opposing team to manage over the course of 4 qts.

The other great thing about this game, the two teams with the toughest bracket placement emerge to the finals.

[caribbeanhen]

not only does NoDak Estado present a challenge with the intensity and talent they bring, they also do a good job of filibustering the NCAA refs, no doubt somewhere out on the prairie some Bison fan is making a video right now of Barge and how he might have a tendency to push off a bit, Barge is very talented and not only that has a knack for getting calls to go his way..... this will be the key to the game. How will they call the battle between Barge and the North Dakota State secondary.... if history is any indication, it wont go Jacksonville States way

In my opinion I'd go the opposite way. Yes your guys are big, but I saw a lot of fat, not in shape, lineman.

Those are they guys that if they constantly get beat on start wearing out in the 3rd and 4th quarter pretty quick.

I would say your disadvantage (and it's really not close) in this game is your OL and DL. NDSU is just that strong on the lines.

[mgbison]

I agree, the JSU lines looked big but not in the best of shape.

[Hammerhead]

I thought Richmond had the best OL in FCS and now we are hearing that JSU has the best?

I think it's close but still favors the Bison. Having watched JSU's last 2 games, their lines are legit. Their D is similar to UNI's. Bison line play is some of the best in FCS and has been a consistent driving force behind their championship runs so they have the advantage but it isn't as big a gap as some might assume based on playing an OVC team.

Barge vs. CJ Smith is going to be an interesting matchup. Barge isn't Kupp be he's a heckuva receiver.

I'm really looking forward to this game.

[mgbison]

The best was when ndsu played Towson, and some east coast people were hyping towson's oline as the second coming. Yeah, that didn't work out so well for Towson

[Professor Chaos]

I was really impressed with the pass rush of JSU's D-line. NDSU's O-line will have their hands full. However, I think NDSU can run the ball on JSU enough to keep the pass rush honest. JSU's ability to rotate on the D-line will also be big. Teams that don't sub often on the D-line get worn down by NDSU to the point where the Bison can run at will.

[Cocky]

I agree, the JSU lines looked big but not in the best of shape.
Have you seen us? JSU is small on both sides of the ball.

[caribbeanhen]

they only had one fan on here.... everyone knew Towson was cursed that year and had no chance.... They lost to Delaware

[Professor Chaos]

Another thing I'll say is that if its as cold as it was last year we may have some JSU folks get hypothermia. Even us North Dakotans were flippin' cold. Game time temp was in the low 30s under cloudy skies and a decent breeze.

Normally in early January the DFW area gets into the low 50s and its even gotten above 60 when I've been down there over championship weekend. Hopefully we're due for better weather this year.

[TheKingpin28]

I remember 2011. It was in the 60s and Fargo was in the 60s that week as well. By far one of the many reasons why Fargo has the strangest weather in the US.

So the game is to be, Northern weather vs Southern speed? It amazes me on what BS people can think up so their team will have an advantage. And I include myself in this category.

[Wilson16]

Maybe if we were an MVFC team we would stand a chance.

I'm already stocking up on tissues to wipe away my tears when we get beat in Fargo South.
If you wait a few weeks the price of tissues will come down just like the game tickets

[DA BEAR]

NDSU 34
JSU 31

[Bisonator]

I just hope the Bison can keep it close. It could get ugly with our walk ons going up against their FBS guys.

[Bisonator]

Not to mention all their southern speed against our slow unathletic white guys.

[Professor Chaos]

I didn't say anything about the weather being an advantage to either team. I'm talking from the fans' perspective. Previously this postseason I've seen a couple references on this board from JSU fans about "cold" weather when temps were in the 60s. If you guys think that's cold you're gonna be miserable if the weather is anything like last year on gameday in Frisco.

It was a "dry" cold last year so it wasn't that bad

[X-Factor]

So how does JSU travel? Can we count on a substantial tailgate? ISUr did OK last year, but I'm hoping for much more from JSU.

[mgbison]

I'll say it this way. Normally when I see 300 lb lineman they look solid (ndsu, sdsu, uni, etc). JSUs looks fat.

[Cocky]

We will send as many as can find tickets. I have no idea what that number is? With NDSU having the Friday game and the past success your fans had a huge advantage on purchasing tickets. JSU would not bring as many as NDSU even with all things being equal.

[centennial]

that was not intended to instigate .... You don't think this Jacksonville State team is the best of the 4 teams you have met in the finals?

No. However, they do have enough transfers for me to dislike them. I hope they get blown out. I would rather have lost to Richmond, or UNI then to SEC transfer university. It is embarrassing to the FCS that they will keep calling out where each transfer is from.

We will eventually lose. Nothing to be nervous about. We still run a FBS level program, while you field a team that wouldn't even crack our top 2 rotation in most positions (except the kicker).

I agree with that, not only are you an FBS team but would be a pretty good one.... Top 25! We have a few players on Defense that might be able to crack your line up but you have to understand that the Delaware admin is getting exactly what they want out of Delaware football......nothing!

[JSUSoutherner]

....DUH FAT GUYS...HUNG WHIFF AUBURN........xwavexBROCK!xwavex

Yeah we did.

2 of our fat guys are all Americans as well and most are all conference.

But I guess that loses it luster when you take into consideration we are a lowly OVC team that gets scared when the temperature drops below 70.

Don't speak for me. We are probably as good as a top 50 team. Only our 2013 team was top 25.

[chattownmocs]

Keys to the game:

1. Can NDSU limit jacksonville states big plays?

Jacksonville states offense has reached a new stratosphere in the postseason. They faced 2 very good, maybe even elite fcs defenses, in their first 2 playoff games and the big plays haven't stopped coming yet. If anyone can prevent these plays it would be ndsu. Its going to be tough to consistently drive the length of the field without huge plays.

2. Can jacksonville states D create negative plays?

While ndsu needs to stop jsus big plays. Jacksonville state needs to take it a step further and create negative plays. Jacksonville state is as good as anyone at doing this. If ndsu stays on schedule they will be very difficult for jsu to stop

3. Can Eli Jenkins avoid costly mistakes?

Eli Jenkins has played at an all time level in the playoffs. One thing that he still has a tendancy to do is put the ball up for grabs. So far he has gotten away with it but ndsu can not only take the ball away, they can score on defense.

4. Can JSU play NDSU to a draw in the kicking game?

Jacksonville state needs another sound performance in the kicking game. If they can play ndsu to a draw there, they have a legitimate shot to claim the national championship.

But at least they are wins we brag about, why does everyone (I know this post was not from a JSU fan) celebrate this close loss to Auburn. It was a good game, but you didn't finish the job. Turns out despite playing in the SEC Auburn was not too good this year.

A bad Auburn is still the equivalent of an FCS powerhouse. They are ranked 36 in Sagarin. It's not that we almost beat them, it's that we led them for 58 minutes and beat them in every stat but score. Regardless of the L, Auburn is still relevant and I'm pretty sure if NDSU had done it they would be talking about it as well.

Gotcha, so this is about losing to an FCS powerhouse. So, why didn't I hear all this talk coming into this season due to your loss in the playoffs to an FCS powerhouse SHSU. Kudos for blowing them out this year, I respect wins. This all just sounds too similar to Georgia Southern fans who had hung with Alabama (BTW Alabama was a good FBS team).

[Professor Chaos]

I think for all the **** that's going to get thrown back and forth for the next three weeks it's really a pretty simple winning formula. Both teams seem to pride themselves on their lines on both sides of the ball so whoever controls the line of scrimmage wins the game.

You're welcome for my brilliant insights. Now back to your regularly scheduled **** slinging.

[SUPharmacist]

Like I said it's not about the loss. It's about how we played that game. Watch the first 58 minutes and you'll see what I'm talking about.

A great 58 minutes against a mediocre FBS team. As the season has went on JSU hopefully has gained that killer instinct. I watched that game, and they played quite well. Then they didn't know how to win when it mattered. Great teams close out games. If they are the great team they look like they learned from the loss. Losses help teams grow, but you do not brag about them.

NDSU certainly did, and hopefully they have improved. Difference being I am not using those games as justification as to why NDSU will win. Both games were letdowns and show NDSU can be beaten.

And JSU has improved and I'm using Auburn to show that JSU can beat the odds. Auburn was a 40+ point favorite. If you want to talk about completing game with wins against a great team see UTC 2015 (both times) or our 62 point beat down of an FCS semi finalist.

I'm not saying we will win because we lost to Auburn. I'm saying we play great football and using part of the Auburn as an example.

[SUPharmacist]

NDSU did not have the killer instinct they did in years past. Those are bad losses, anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Hopefully NDSU reviewed the games and got better, as I am sure JSU looked to improve after Auburn. But at the end of the day it is a loss and there is no such thing as a good loss (even against Auburn).

One more thing JSU. Don't expect your top receiver to show up CJ Smith. He can shut down anyone. However, your 4th string receiver can probably eat #5 for lunch.
This^^^ A lot of the NDSU fans talk about how great CJ is in the secondary, regardless if he shuts down Barge (which no one has done yet, I've seen him beat three defenders at the same time this season, it will be interesting seeing CJ vs. Barge) we still have Gonzalez, Screws, and Merrill who are all top of the line. receivers.

This game is going to be great, every part of our team NDSU has an answer for and vice versa. I think the difference will come down to our receivers vs. NDSU's secondary.

If your O-line can't block NDSU's front 4 it won't matter if you have OBJ and Calvin Johnson outside. The same goes for NDSU's O-line against JSU's defensive front. It all begins and ends with the "big uglies".

My opinion is that our O-Line will be able to handle NDSU's D-line enough for Eli to get work done. If all else fails we do quick passes like we did at Auburn against their enormous D-Line. Eli has proven very effective under pressure even when the line breaks down.

[Professor Chaos]

A CAA officiating crew will work this game.

I pray to everything holy it's not the same crew that worked the NDSU/SDSU game in last year's playoffs and utterly embarrassed themselves multiple times.

That might work or it might backfire with DeLuca roaming the middle.

Your receivers are not better than Montanas..period

Mj and pierre-gee have bend playing at a really high level also....we have a smart, fast hard hitting LB core

Montana tried those short passes 3 weeks ago. It didn't turn out so good for them.

35-7 Bison. But in all seriousness, when are they playing? Week 1 or this week?

[JSUSoutherner]

Week 2, just like us.

[Christiank22]

Week 2, just like us.
24-21 Auburn

[Bison56]

Butt Auburn, I would have never guessed JSU's biggest accomplishment this year was a loss.

[CockyGeek]

I think our biggest accomplishment is beating everyone else we played.

disagree with this.....Jacksonville State has better WRs than Montana.....

Which game showed you that? Tennessee-Martin or SEMO?

[JSUSoutherner]

Which game showed you that? Tennessee-Martin or SEMO?

The game where we passed for 269 and Barge only touched the ball 9 times and got 3 TD's or the one where we passed for 218 and on only 7 touches Barge had 110 yards and 2 TD's?

For a team that's 4th in nation for rushing we sure do suck at passing.

Richmond, UNI, Montana, SDSU, WIU, Weber State, North Dakota. Plus 3 good 5-6 teams that would likely make the playoffs in other leagues- YSU, Indiana State, SD

We lost one, and were close to losing the other. What of it?

had to play 2 of them twice.

[JSUSoutherner]

had to play 2 of them twice.

Because the first attempts at UNI and Montana went well as planned, right?

[centennial]

Just curious.
We don't transfer 15 players from the FBS to compensate. We lost almost our whole defense last year, and a likely 1st or 2nd round QB in the SD game, and still made it here. Sagarin and Vegas still prefers us.

Yeah well I'm sure if we lived in an igloo in South Canada with no FBS schools around to steal our prospects I'm sure we could have the same amount of transfers as NDSU. We don't have 15. We only start 5.

[Christiank22]

Lol we beat UNI and went 1-1 vs Montana. I forgot at JSU "almost winning" is better than winning ;)

[JSUSoutherner]

Well we are only one loss. So we do win. I forgot that at NDSU winning with :35 seconds was considered "quality". ;)

The average Sagarin rating for JSU's opponents is 151. You be the judge.

Aren't we touchy? It's okay, the commentators will point them out multiple times in the game. Like I said before it would be shameful that we lose to a team that uses transfers to win. I would have rather lost to Richmond, or Montana than to SEC transfer u.

[Christiank22]

Please tell me how much you know about quality wins with all those national championships at JSU

I'll let you know in 3 weeks but your four trophies really helped you with USD didn't it?

Isn't your starting RB a B1G transfer? Gosh, I can't believe the mighty Bison would stoop so low as to pick up a transfer.

[Bisonator]

How quality was that win over Austin Peay? Just curious....:D

SOS doesn't matter. All that matters is that they are #1 ranked team getting disrespected for being underdogs.

[JSUSoutherner]

Well we held them to negative yards until we let the scouts out to play, so not bad. You guys held Missouri state under 100 yards, right?

Things like that will happen when you play in a real conference

He was a NDSU offer who took a PWO at Nebraska and kept in touch with our RB coach.

...and Murray State, and Tennessee State, and Tennessee Tech, and Mississippi Valley State?

The Sagarin ranks 253 teams.

All five of the above are ranked 201 or worse.

That statement might carry more weight if USD wasn't 5-6.

1 transfer that was recruited by NDSU for 2+ years, and flipped to Nebraska. Much different from bringing in mercenaries to win at any cost.

An all-American with a 4.0 in grad school is a mercenary? News to me.

Lol, when you end up playing an emotional game against the second best team in the country the week before you tend to be a little bit vulnerable.

Serious question for you. I know it's gonna be hard to take it serious but please try to be honest with your answer. What do you think JSU's record would have been if they had played the MVFC conference schedule this year? Let's just say you played your same OOC schedule and a MVFC conference schedule excluding NDSU.

[SUPharmacist]

Relax with the transfer stuff. Different teams do things different ways. NDSU takes transfers when they think it is appropriate, JSU does the same (just differing views on when it makes sense). Can it hurt a team in the long run, quite possibly, but that doesn't mean teams are wrong to try winning that way.
