Weaknesses of Jacksonville State

[Sundog]

Other than having a nickname that limits the market for family-friendly JSU apparel....

What are the weaknesses of the #1 seeded team in this year's FCS tournament?

[gumby013]

Their linemen have a lot of extra flab.

[PantherRob82]

Too many people in their marching band

[centennial]

Too many people in there marching band
Marching band members posting on AGS.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Looks like teams score more on them in the 2nd half. Keep it close and take it to the 4th quarter.

[CHIP72]

Blowing games they should have won against mediocre FBS opponents.

[Wilson16]

It looks like they can get it up early but tend to tire out and blow their wad.
Stamina I think they call it

[JSUSoutherner]

Special teams has been a weakness this season. However it seems Rouleau has finally got his feet back under him.

I have read several comments about that... a couple on your forum.

Stop and think for a second.

Maybe we give up more points in the second half because we are playing the water boys in blowout wins.

Our average halftime score is 23-7. After 3 the average goes to 32 - 11. That is the average. The only reason it is that close is because we play the reserves so much. Games like Austin Peay actually hurt our offensive stats. We held them to negative yards of total offense in the first half. Seriously. They had negative yardage for an entire half. Our starters didn't play a snap in the second half, and all our reserves did was hand it off and work on blocking. We could have scored 100 on them.

It was fun seeing the second and third string get to play yesterday.

[Big_Fan]

Yeah. 57 yards of SHSU's 259 came against reserves in the 4th quarter.

[Cocky]

We are satisfied just being here
We are too fat
We are too small
We have no experience
We fear NDSU
We wont have as many fans
We dont play in the MVC
We havent had gameday
We are intimidated by AGS posters
We are all transfers who dont care
We allow southern players on the team
We dont like the cold
We are not of Norwegian decent
We are not welcomed by the city of Frisco
We had the easiest bracket
We have slow receivers
We arent good in the secondary
We have a big band
We have band members who enjoy football
We dont frack much oil
We dont condition
We are in the OVC
I could think of a few more but Im getting hungry.

So your starters haven't played four quarters? Could very well get tired in the fourth then

[Cocky]

They havent played much in the 3rd or 4th. Will most likely be tired by halftime.

[AmsterBison]

Cheeseburgers?

Honestly, I love the way their sloppy-looking linemen played and didn't see any obvious weaknesses, but, man, NDSU's strength and conditioning coach would not be having any of that. WRs looked awesome, QB looked awesome, RBs looked awesome, and linemen looked nasty. Didn't see enough of their LBs and DBs to form much of an opinion of them, but I'm sure that they're good.

[Wilson16]

This might sound crazy to you, but sometimes people can talk about things in a lightened mood. I know I know how dare people not take everything super serious

[jsualumnus]

It's all good, dude... Let's talk about true weaknesses though. That's all I'm saying. Those fat boys are fast and quick.

NDSU is a dynasty, and I hope we can play spoiler.

I didn't watch the game since I was driving home from college so I can't chip in much, but one weakness I think (yes its cliché) is the weak schedule. I'm not saying it makes you look better than you really are but the team may not be ready to play 4 full quarters. JSU is a good team and I'm excited! Maybe I'll see you down in Frisco

[ming01]

How physical are both lines for JSU?

[NDSUFREAK]

Auburn

So since your only weakness is being good sports and not throwing up a 100 on everyone do you think the early spread of Bizon by four is a fair assessment?

I can't say you're wrong (Because our SOS is garbage) but I feel like UTC/ CSU/ SHSU has shown that we can bring it for four quarters. Especially the UTC games.

Likewise NDSU is fantastic and I'm eagerly waiting for Frisco.

[JSUSoutherner]

How physical are both lines for JSU?

In the post game interviews for most teams we played they talked about how physical our lines are, our O-Line in particular is very physical.

Both of our lines are known for suffocating their opponents by enveloping them in their fat rolls.

[jsualumnus]

So since your only weakness is being good sports and not throwing up a 100 on everyone do you think the early spread of Bizon by four is a fair assessment?

No.

[melloware13]

A question for JSU is can they improve the Chicken-mascot title game record which is currently 1-4. I remember thinking in 2010 how EWU was soft and we had an unstoppable D, and that carried for about 2.5 quarters. Then again, I don't see either team making the second half play calling more conservative than a Trump rally like KC did

[Wilson16]

No.
Why???
what should it be?

[jsualumnus]

Putting NDSU up by 4 when JSU is #1 clearly means the Bison are getting the advantage just due to the fact they've been here 4 times before. I think JSU should be up by 4, but I'm a JSU fan...

I know now your Defense is very good, as is your ST's, but this game will be our Offense vs. your Defense. Whomever controls the line of scrimmage wins this one, and I believe our OL is stronger than your DL.... Nothing personal, I just do...

If we allow your ST's to return too many KO's then I fear that fast white dude you guys have. I know, which fast white dude, right? They're all fast... I just believe out O will be better than your D....

[NDSUtk]

Yeah. 57 yards of SHSU's 259 came against reserves in the 4th quarter.
That doesn't really support your point. They put up 22% of their yards in 25% of the game against reserves... Which means they actually averaged more yards per quarter against your starters than against your reserves. Not a significant variance but the point made was that teams really rack it up on your reserves...this seems to contradict that. Then again, SHSU didn't do jack against either starters or reserves. Just pointing out the math here does not support the point. I'm sure you have other games that are better examples.

UTM coming back on our reserves is a pretty good example...

[BisonFan02]

A team of FBS washouts that were overrated in HS.

[Wilson16]

Why???
what should it be?
I respectfully disagree. I don't think your defense will be able to stop our offense. That's what I think it comes down to. If the Bizon control the clock your offense won't be able to have an impact. I don't think you can stop our running/short passing game.

I wasn't intending it as supporting data, just pointing it out...I wasn't clear enough...that wasn't the entire quarter. We left our starters in longer than usual against SHSU. That was one single drive in the 4th quarter, so yes, it supports my point.

Clearly?? You think the only reason the Bizon are favored is because they've been there before? I think the oddsmakers put a little more into it than that

[Redbirdz]

Can't believe you are up by 4, that will probably change downward by game time as we are No. 1.

[JSUSoutherner]

I respectfully disagree. I don't think your defense will be able to stop our offense. That's what I think it comes down to. If the Bizon control the clock your offense won't be able to have an impact. I don't think you can stop our running/short passing game.


All I know is we have an All-American/ POY QB, an All-American RB, great receivers, and an all conference O-Line led by an All-American center.

I don't think the Bison will be able to stop us either.

Personally I think this game will come down to who has the best offense because we both have very strong defenses and I just can't see the Bison stopping our offense.

No. 1 means nothing at this point. Bison may be the 3 seed but as they have proven they are a top two team. The Bison have 4 championships under their belt and are very formidable. A 4 point spread doesn't bother me. We all know how accurate Vegas was at predicting Auburn and SHSU.

[Christiank22]

Serious question, do JSU fans know how odds work???

There's plenty of Bison fans that don't know how they work either.


That said, Sagarin has NDSU as 4-5 point favorites depending on which calculation used, so oddsmakers must be giving JSU some credit for the #1 ranking.

I would say you are low. The avg person in Vegas either has never heard of us or believes we are in Florida.

Normally it just a few on the board who have the most power. The power has shifted in the last few years from the CAA to App to now the MVC posters.

So what helps them make that predicted placement of money? i get it. Tell yourself and your fan base that.

I wonder if it should be higher for the Bizon since they felt bad and gave you 2 because of your awesome 500 strong band

How good do you think JSU rush D is? Looks like they gave up a bunch in the first 2 playoff games. Would like to hear what you guys think about it.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

For the Bison, get up early and make JSU one dimensional. Take away the run and make them pass the ball.....although, this is the game plan for all games.

NDSU has the defense to slow down JSU but they will have some drives that eat up yards. Make them kick FGs. Don't give up the big play. I'm sure the JSU coaches will test the Bison secondary deep with all of the film they have watched. Bison have given up deep balls and QB runs this year....although, the Bison defense has been in "lock down" mode for awhile now.

Keys for JSU:

Go after the Bison secondary.... a lot.
Slow down the power run, esp on 1st down
Start fast

Keys for NDSU:

Get up early and grind out drives
No turnovers
No big plays

Good analysis. I agree 100%. We will likely go heavy on the air game against the Bison, but it's definitely not a weakness for us. Will Wentz be in at Frisco? If not and if we can stuff the Bison run I think our secondary should be able to give their receivers fits enough to give us an edge.

you might regret that..... Barge and Gonzalez look pretty good, not to mention Screws

[Lehigh'98]

I've always thought the key to taking down NDSU is to punch them in the mouth early and make them play from behind. To their credit, I don't recall any teams since 2010 that have been able to pull that off in the playoffs.

How do you know NDSU is better? It would be the same as me saying JSU is better than UNI. NDSU hasnt played UTC and JSU hasnt played UNI. Even if I say it enough to convince myself it doesnt make it true and neither does your statement.

[Big_Fan]

Haha I rest my case. Expect NDSU to be similar to UTC only better!xthumbsupx

Schematically you may be similar to UTC, though I don't see the designed QB runs.

Does your team have a senior conference player of the year QB, with 8000 career passing yards, and 4000 career rushing yards? He is the only thing that kept those games (particularly the second one) close. If it wasn't for his 4.5 speed, we win that game by 30. FWIW, Huesman is ranked the #22 QB in this year's draft class according to The Sports XChange Draft Scout. That ain't bad.

I don't know. 3 more weeks and the #2 QB in this years draft class according to The Sports XChange Draft Scout should be cleared to play.

That ain't bad either.

[JSUSoutherner]

I don't know. 3 more weeks and the #2 QB in this years draft class according to The Sports XChange Draft Scout should be cleared to play.

That ain't bad either.

He's a first team All-America, right?

[Wilson16]

I hope he is back. It is always better to beat a team at full strength, and avoid the "If Colt wouldn't have gotten hurt" commentary.

Given that the injury was in his throwing wrist, I have my doubts. 6-8 weeks was given, that would have to be a non-displaced distal radius fracture, and those don't normally require surgery. They said it was a non-displaced fracture, but he was operated on.

I know that he "returned to practice," but that really doesn't say much about what he was doing. He could be at practice squeezing a ball to build strength.

We will see. I hope he is well, but I doubt we will see him in the championship game after not having taken a meaningful snap in 2.5 months.

It was the scaphoid bone. A notoriously slow healer because of the lack of blood flow. Frisco will be 11 weeks since the injury. He's no longer in the brace and has been throwing.

Personally, I like our offense now. The all time winningest QB in FCS history was a lot like Easton Stick. Don't need flashy stats to win football games.

I believe the surgery operation was the direction they choose more so for the quicker healing time vs. needing it to heal. It's quite possible if he was an average non athlete college kid they would have just put it in a cast and let it heal on it's own.

Even if he doesn't play in the championship game he's got an invite to the Senior. I'm sure he's hoping he can at least go for that.

I think most of us are in the camp we need to keep playing like we have with Stick whether we go with Wentz or not. Opinions on the latter part of that sentence vary greatly.

But there is a little tiny bit of me, with all these JSU "we have the best QB in the FCS" comments that wants us to unleash Wentz and let him pick apart their D.

Wentz would chew them up and spit them out. They gave up 250 or so on the ground to both UTC and CSU. I cannot wait to see the Rams blow them up and King Frazier to impose his will.

Easton Stick has a lot of Brock Jensen in him. It's almost not fair that we keep getting these great QB recruits.

[BisonBacker]

Everyone talking about Wentz is left out one little detail. The doctors haven't cleared him to play. I'm not saying that even if they did he should be. Having that long of a layoff and benching the guy who's won the last 8 games is pretty tough to do even for Carson. A healthy no 8 week off period Carson Wentz absolutely yes he'd be playing. The current situation though I don't see him starting even if cleared by the doctors.

I haven't read where any JSU fans have said that. None. First team AA in some lists, yes... show me one post that says "Best in the FCS." That is pretty brazen.

Better than Stick and his back-up? Yes. I won't apologize for saying that. That isn't saying Stick is a bad QB, but Eli is much more experienced, and is an All-American. There is no comparison, really. Even if we lose, it doesn't make Stick better. 2 years from now he may prove to be, but at this point you cannot honestly compare them.

[awBison]

I honestly don't see any real weakness with JSU's team. They have a very solid team that is very skilled and well balanced. There are a few areas where I think we could be better than them though.

[dewey]

An interesting article from Mark Edwards.

Here is an excerpt.
We like blue-collar football here in the South, and JSU is about as blue collar as you can get. The Gamecocks want to run over you on offense until you're standing so close to the line that Eli Jenkins, the best quarterback in the FCS, can throw it over you. On defense, JSU gives up yards as grudgingly as a starving dog does a bone. They just wear you down.

It's worth noting that in North Dakota State's streak of national titles, the Bison haven't met a team in the finals from the Southeast until now.

Dewey

[Bisonator]

I think their special teams might be a weakness. What was with all of the pooch kicks against Sammy?

[1984]

I must admit that reading all this trash from both sides is entertaining. In the end I think it is great that the real game will be decided on the field and hope it is not decided by the officials.

[Cocky]

This is NDSUs biggest advantage. Even with your special teams lagging a little in the playoffs.

Seriously why the pooch kicks and is that something you guys have done all year?

[JSUSoutherner]

Seriously why the pooch kicks and is that something you guys have done all year?

No, it was because we sucked at return coverage against Chuck South and Sammy's returner is a monster.

Either way, they turned out pretty well in our favor.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

This is NDSUs biggest advantage. Even with your special teams lagging a little in the playoffs.

Yeah, our special teams is clearly lagging.

Our field goal and extra point kicking game has not been very good.

I think anyone would trade that that for 3 return TDs and the best punter in the division.

That last punt against UNI lead to a Safety. That's two extra points right there.

So "All these" is actually one editorial column in a newspaper from Anniston? You have your panties in a wad over that? You know the difference in an editorial column, and a journalistic "article," right?

And don't call him "your." He isn't mine. I get the Jakarta post. When I was in Jacksonville, I got the Jacksonville News. The Anniston Star is the largest print publication in Calhoun County (not saying a lot), but they don't even have a JSU beat writer. They fired the JSU beat writer a couple of years ago... he was terrible. Seriously. I think he hated the assignment, so he did everything he could do to trash our program. These days, they spend more pages covering Alabama and Auburn, than JSU... though it has improved some this season.

I will admit, Mark Edward's comments do come across as somewhat excessively homerish, but the Eli comment isn't way out in left field, as he did make the 1st team AA list of more than one organization. His comments are probably calculated to try and increase circulation...you know print media is not doing so well these days. I do like Mark. I have spoken with him on a number of occasions.

Using NDSU regular season performance as a base, yes. But us "you people" are hard to understand.

Sorry I freaked out about the article. xrolleyesx

Some writer from some damn somewhere wrote "best QB in the FCS." Which is fine, homer writer being a homer. We're all good. I disagree with him, but my panties are just fine. xthumbsupx

As far as Eli he can be explosive in space and he is elusive in the backfield especially with the read option stuff, but he often throws off his back foot and can be erratic in the down the field passing. Looks very similar to UNI's QB. If we can bottle up JSU's run and short pass game, I like our chances a lot. With that being said, that's JSU's bread and butter and no one has stopped it yet.

Edit: I realize I used "your" instead of "JSU's". I fixed that, sorry. :D

[JSUSoutherner]

If we can bottle up your run and SHORT PASS game, I like our chances a lot. With that being said, that's your bread and butter and no one has stopped it yet.

You may have missed where our recovers where our receivers averaged 13.9 yards per touch in the playoffs.

Barge- 14.2 ypc
Gonzalez- 17.4 ypc
Screws- 10.1 ypc

Those aren't exactly screen passes. You're defense will have to play out of their minds at every level to shut our offense down. Will they slow us down? Of course, I'm not expecting to go in and have another 400-500 yard rush game but I'm not expecting our offense to get shut down.

[Bisonwinagn]

Serious question. What's the deal with the one JSU offensive lineman wearing a skirt each game? Is it a symbol for something?

A screen pass that goes for 15 yards is a 15 yard catch. YPC can mean more about the abillity of your WRs to make plays than your QB to throw down field. I promise you our game plan will be to bottle up your run and take away the short slant bubble stuff and make Eli throw it down the field. Whether we accomplish that we will find out in three weeks.

Seems they have no weakness.

[jsualumnus]

The jersey only goes so far then his undershirt, which was the same design as the digital cammo they wore a few weeks back, is long... Looks like a skirt?...I dunno... Maybe on TV...

[awBison]

Seems they have no weakness.

I really don't think that they do have a weakness to be honest. They are a really well rounded
team from everything I've seen. I do think that we can do some things better then them though.
Of course the opposite could also be said.

I think that we will be able to put on more yards on the ground when it matters.
I think they have a huge potential
for the long ball if our coverage downfield does not improve from what I've seen so far. There have
been a lot of plays in which NDSU's D left guys wide open downfield but got away with it because
the other team couldn't get the ball to the receiver. If that happens during this game we are going
to pay for it. I think our D will be able to shut down their run game.

If you forced me to stretch really hard and call a weakness I'd say it would be
the amount of tough teams that they've played
compared to us. I think their schedule has been easier (not all games but overall).
Our team has been challenged most of the season. We've seen so many different
styles of play from good teams. It probably
is not right to call that a weakness but I do think that our experiences will be an big asset
in this game.

It should be a great game with two very good teams. It will be a great matchup to see.

Good run down.

You know, I'm starting to like the our only weakness is our schedule. It's something that has nothing to do with how our team actually plays but it makes the Bison fans feel better about themselves. It's a win-win really.

[Bison56]

Run D isn't real strong.

[Wilson16]

Run D isn't real strong.
I agree. I also think penalties will hurt them

Run D was atrocious against UTC and. Charleston Southern. I bet the Bison are running a bunch of trick triple option plays over the next couple of weeks. They fooled the hell out of our guys for two weeks.

The Grass is greener in Jacksonville

[Bisonwinagn]

Kick coverage has to be a weakness based on their last two games. Giving the other team the ball at the 35 is not a great thing either. Although if they only kick off once it probably won't matter :D

[CockyGeek]

Starting on the 35 is better than having it taken back to the house! I hope that was just a one game thing though

But to answer your question, it was. Briscoe may have sucked in the passing game but that didn't affect their RB was doing and we shut him down.

That is what I am interested in seeing if they have settled in or will they give up a bunch. To me it's 1 of the keys of the game because if NDSU can run it will keep JSU'S O on the sidelines e and shorten the game.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Not an expert but I think the Bison coaches might try to:

- work the edges in the running game
- passes to the flats with the RBs and TEs over the middle
- screen passes to RBs
- JSU is fast on defense so IDK if the jet-sweep stuff will work but maybe they will go more north/south with RBs
- and as always, play field position game

- work the edges in the running game

Charleston Southern lit us up with their outside run game, particularly on pitch plays. If the Bison can work the outside they may slowly but surely work their way to the end zone.

- passes to the flats with the RBs and TEs over the middle

I've seen this also do some damage but more often than not the linebackers can bring up enough coverage to pressure the QB to throw it back to the outside toward our secondary. Plus, our DL is really good at pass rushing.

- JSU is fast on defense so IDK if the jet-sweep stuff will work but maybe they will go more north/south with RBs

If I was the Bison I wouldn't try any Jet-sweep stuff. Our linebackers are pretty good at shutting it down. The best bet for the Bison run game is power it up the middle behind the O-Line or pitch plays to the outside. We are weak against teams that run read-option. It's how Huesman lit us up.

But I'm no expert either, those are just my guesses.

[Bisonwinagn]

I think JSU has a good secondary and will make it tough to pass to receivers. This game actually sets up better for Stick than Wentz to run the read option. He may need to run it 15-20 times. Could see lots of throws to TE's and RB's to keep the linebackers from totally selling out on the run game. Also I agree NDSU should run some quick pitch plays to Bruce Anderson.

Dude, go ahead and blame the almighty Buson fans that think their **** don't stink. i've tried to leave cordial posts, but a couple douche bags keep the junk talk going. I myself will enjoy the game, atmosphere, and outcome no matter what.

Says a petulant little bitch...

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.......bitch xlolx GTFO. You guys are just rich...."bet you wouldn't say that to my face! Derp derp derp!". :D

Dude... Give up, make a deal with each other that if you lose you admit you were an arrogant bastard, and if we lose I'll do the same... I'll say mine while drinking a shot of Gentleman Jack and following with cold Sierra Nevada while you say yours drinking a Keystone Light! Deal?

Haha, no deal for me...not one to drink anymore. I will definitely be on here post game to discuss and congratulate either winner though! xthumbsupx

Me too! May the best team win! They will deserve the congrats!

Cool, I'll be at Bone Daddy's in Plano having a celebratory/consolation/therapeutic bloody mary. You can meet me there and say whatever you like.
A bloody mary?? WTF? Will you be on your period on the 9th?

Damn...you should've been in Fargo on the 18th. A big mouth like that would've made it interesting...

Didn't I just announce where I'll be Jan 9th?

I was at 7 games this season. Plenty of chances to hang out with me.

The Chalupanator, the weakness of the JSU linemen.

You got some rep for that. Just give me some Casey's breakfast pizza and I'd be a very content man.

I thought Taco Bell was a weakness for everyone?

Damn shame too.

[Houndawg]

The sad thing is that all of this smack is taking away from what should be a great match up.

I think you're just miffed about being out-smacked by a bunch of white folk from the North Pole....

I posit that their quarterback's throwing style is a weakness. Yes he is very elusive and throws well, but he throws up a ton of 50/50 balls. LOTS. Gonzales and Barge have played well enough that they bail him out most often. If you look at the Richmond v ISUr game and then compare that to the NDSU v Richmond game, NDSU isn't losing that many of those kind of throws.

The 50/50 balls obviously aren't hurting us too bad because on 354 ATTs Eli has 2731 yards, 21 TDs, and only 6 picks.

Well when you're going against UTM and APSU, 50/50 probably ends up being 80/20

Brian Bell had 20 TDs in 2011.

I am literally saying they haven't hurt you because you have excellent wide outs. However over the course of the playoffs NDSU has shown that they can make teams pay for those types of throws. Since your QB relies on them from time to time he may be very comfortable throwing questionable deep balls. I see this as a tendency that the Bizon may wish to exploit.

Ahh, my bad. Misread on my part.
