In all honesty, outside of the **** talk, it will be interesting to see how each team reacts to being punched in the mouth. Also will be the first time in a while we have had this game where neither team has had to show their playbook in games leading up to the Game.

One thing I do know, SDSU will need to stop the run and NDSU will have to tackle our WRs in space well.

NDSU has the defense to really slow down SDSU but they need to account for TC running. He had IIRC over 100 yards rushing the last game in Fargo.

Will SDSU stack the box?

This will be a good chess match game. Adjustments. No turnovers for both teams.

NDSU has got to keep TC from running after the protection breaks down. Spy him with Cox and bring another LB.

Three differences this year...Trey Lance (true duel threat QB) working against 1st Defense ALL week in practice, the D line is faster than last year's, AND Jabril Cox will be playing the entire game.

Yeah, where he killed the Bison last year wasn't running for yards it was scrambling outside the pocket to buy time and throw downfield. Outside of that 2016 regular season game he hasn't actually tried to run much of the Bison.

This Bison D-line has the best pass rush I've ever seen at the FCS level though but they haven't seen a QB as elusive as Christion yet this year either. Hopefully they stay disciplined because if they keep their rush lanes and contain Christion they'll make life miserable for him in a hurry.

TC better mix up his cadence because yesterday Menard was timing UD's call perfectly. He was past the OT on many plays right after the ball was snapped.

3 Differences for SDSU.
1: Offense is more balanced, not reliant on Goedert and Wieneke anymore, and have a stronger run game.
2: Defense is improved.
3: Cade Johnson is a stud, he’s going to be tough for the Bison to stop.
All in all I think this is possibly SDSU’s best team ever so far, of course this could possibly be NDSU’s best team ever as well.
Prediction is a homer pick, SDSU 28-24.

Not going to argue with your assessment but is the Jack's defense good enough to contain the Bison offense. What I mean is that IMO, the Bison defense is good enough to stop or really slow down any offense....is SDSU's the same?

Our defense will likely do better than whatever UD did. We’ll play the run hard and trust our defensive backfield to match up against the ndsu wideouts. Try to force Stick to have to win the game. Big key is if the Jacks can start out not rusty after a scrimmage and a bye week. The goal will be to force Stick to have to lead a comeback, that’s where he ends up with his bad games like last year. Look for the offense for SDSU to be a lot of getting the ball into athletes hands and letting them make plays.

Not sure what you’re talking about. But from what I’ve heard I think we’re going to start our 2nd strong QB like Ark-Pine-Bluff did against us. No sense in getting TC hurt in an 80 point blow out.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

SDSU:

Get an early lead
No turnovers
Run TC
Make Stick win the game


NDSU:

Contain TC and keep him in the pocket
ES run when the lanes are open
Bring pressure on TC. Don't sit back in their Tampa 2
Get a lead and pound them into the ground

If NDSU's D line is as good at creating pressure as people say it is, I hope we plan to get the ball out of TC's hands quick, because we have the type of WRs that can turn short throws into big gains. I think we'll see the jet sweep be a big play. One or two will likely go for long gains, plus the hesitation it causes for a defense makes a big difference. SDSU has multiple speedy receivers to run it with. I'm guessing drag routes will be key as well, looking to have a short option in case of pressure.

Ultimately, this team will go as far as TC takes them. If he's on, the game will be close with a strong possibility for a win. If he's off, I don't think we have the type of defense to win 13-10 or something like that. Having said that, Daniels, Wallace, and Wilson have looked good running the ball.

X factors outside of the usual suspects:
Offense - CJ Wilson, the kid is lightning quick with a low center of gravity. Don't be surprised if he breaks off a long run.
Defense - Brandon Snyder, he has looked good already and at this point should be comfortable in the defense. Having a guy like that makes a huge difference.

[BisonFan02]

Big diff this season is Menard and the DE/DL group....and Jabril Cox. Jabril is all over the place...a combination of him and Grimsley will spy on TC. Couldn't afford to do that last season because of coverage needs and only rushing 4....tough to account for TC. I expect a different gameplan.....probably more pressure happy. If NDSU plays soft coverage, oof.

[TheKingpin28]

If NDSU plays that 3 rush crap, like they did against EWU, I will be shocked. This is one of those teams where they should be spying TC and sending 5 almost every down to get pressure and force TC into some bad situations.

I'm not fully sold on Cox all of a sudden making some monster impact, he didn't make and impact the last half of the game last year. The pass rush though? Absolutely could.

I won't be surprised to see us start out run heavy. We've got better backs this year to lean on, and I'm sure it will be expected for us to come out slinging it.

Sent from my SM-G930V using TapatalkThe key to what you stated was Goedert. Without NDSU having to adjust coverage to Goedert and Weinke the Bison can play normal cover 2.

Goedert was a freaking beast.

I think the Bison bring pressure and keep a spy on TC like they did with Schor.

Bison have to pressure AND contain TC. If he's allowed to escape the pocket and improvise it won't go well for NDSU. I think they can get to TC with the front four but need to dial up some blitzes in key situations. See if TC can give up some of those turnovers. Cox and Grimsley will need to spy TC if the line loses contain. I think Menard is a huge factor that was missing last year.

On offense, RUN THE DAMN BALL. Last year we had some nice runs but Mess got pass happy and Stick was off his game. Gotta stick with the run it's what we do and SDSU has had issues stopping it. I'd prefer Stick under center more and utilize play action more. RB wheel routes and TE seam routes seem to be what work best thru the air. I trust our RB's and TE's more then our WR's to get open and make plays downfield.

[Thumper 76]

I’m interested to see how the battle up front between the bison o line and the Jacks d line goes. Montana state was supposed to have a good line and our guys worked them over pretty good. Obviously Ndsu has a much better line, so it’s going to be fun to watch. The biggest key will be getting off the field, if we’re on the field for a bunch of long, grind it out drives we don’t have the depth on the d line to stop the traditional bison game plan from working. If we can force Stick to use his arm to beat us I like our chances.

Yep. But pressuring and containing Christion is easier said than done. The Bison d-line has looked like world beaters these 1st 3 games but they haven't faced a QB nearly as elusive as Christion yet. We'll see how they do in their first big test of the year. I'm excited to see it!

Agreed. Getting to Keho, Delaware QB, who stood back there like a statue is was easy. Getting to and sacking TC who is very nimble at avoiding pressure and making opposing teams pay is a very important aspect of the game.

Agreed but if the Bison D-line gets even half the pressures on Christion that they got on the previous teams they've faced it's going to be tough for SDSU to sustain drives.

I believe Keho is the first QB to finish a game against the Bison this year and he had to be feeling it afterwards with the number of hits he took.

Last year the Bison did not pressure Christion effectively at all. They sacked him twice according to the box score but I recall him killing the Bison secondary by buying time allowing his receivers to get open and that's what primarily sustained drives for them.

No question SDSU is way better then anyone we have played so far and vice versa. Not sure you can take much of anything from the games either team has played. As Klieman said in his presser, neither team can use much more then a couple quarters of this seasons game tape. But they both know what the other is going to want to do anyway.

Realistically that’s been the major difference between SDSU having an effective offense against the bison vs prior years. Usually our defense does pretty well but would get worn down because of our offense not being able to do anything outside of the 2016 playoff game. TC has been the main change to that being a mobile qb who can evade the rush.

It appears SDSU has replaced Goedert and Wieneke with smaller faster type guys and spread it out more, is that accurate? Doesn't look like the TE's have been a factor and more a EW type offense this season. Also does not look like TC has had to run much so far, I'm guessing that will happen more this week with some designed runs as well.

We pressured him early and often last December and TC didn't handle it very well -- sailed some passes and had trouble finding receivers on the run as our secondary locked down Weineke most of the night.

If NDSU's DBs can stick with TC's receivers then a spy will negate most, if not all, of his running advantage if he breaks contain.

That's kind of like saying Custer didn't handle the Little Bighorn very well. xlolx

But back to the game I really don't think Christion will run that much. I think people consider him more of a running QB than he is. Easton Stick is the more effective runner actually. Christion is good at using his mobility to buy time, a la Aaron Rodgers, moreso than using his mobility to gain yards. That said you're right in that you still have to spy him but it's to make him get rid of the ball when he breaks the pocket as much as anything.

I’m quite excited for the game obviously since SDSU is a very formidable opponent and we don’t get very many of those these days. But, in the end I just don’t see this one being very close unless the Jacks are +2 or more in TO like last year

NDSU had 5 turnovers in last years game and still was in the game in the 4th quarter. That says a lot.

NDSU had 5 turnovers in last years game and still was in the game in the 4th quarter. That says a lot.It was a game because we fumbled a punt to set up a score otherwise it would have been 34-14 instead. That said, it's tough to see us running away with any game for the marker. I would also point out that some of those turnovers could be attributed to what happens to the bison offense when you force them to chase.

Let me correct you there... NDSU was in the game in the 4th quarter because SDSU fumbled a punt return at the end of the 3rd quarter, which NDSU scored a TD off of and subsequently pissed that opportunity down their pants by giving up an 11 play, 6:41 TD drive. So let's not make it sound like NDSU only lost because they beat themselves with turnovers.

Well, take away the points off turnovers and the final was 16-14 SDSU. Bad teams make mistakes. Good teams capitalize on those mistakes. SDSU was the better team that day.

I was agreeing with you. The difference was 12 points and points off turnovers accounted for 10 of those points. Beyond that it was a pretty even game.

[X-Factor]

I know it’s been talked about but the NDSU D line really is way ahead of last year. All 4 down lineman positions are in your face and can blow up a play on any down/distance.

So the jacks will likely try some combo of hurry up, WR/RB screens, and TC running to negate some of the subbing and line chaos that would hugely favor NDSU, but the depth is still going to play a major factor and screens can be countered. Any ball stoppage and you have 4 fresh equally talented lineman rotating in.

I’ll be shocked if the Jacks oline can block that for 4 quarters (if at all) without running out of gas. Bison didn’t get a bunch of pressure last marker game but I’d look for that to change this year in a big way.

Trey Lance being the scout QB during practice this week is worth mentioning. That is a potential factor in the defense preparing for QB scramble that is hard to value

[RabidRabbit]

2 of the 5 TO occurred late in the 4th quarter. But the earlier TO shut down 2 or 3 first down to that point drives. IIRC, Jacks actually lead in time of possession. Something Jacks usually don't win in losses to Bison.

Neither team has been challenged by complete game opponents this season. Both have looked very dominant in their prior games. Expect this to be a great, tight, tough game for both teams.

We are too nice, that works great in the playoffs when we play cupcakes, different deal when you play teams that actually come to play.

Anybody who takes anything from either teams games as a “oh we’re so much better than last year” are lying to themselves. We both played similarly poor OOC opponents. That’s why I chuckle at the bison fans fawning all over your d line compared to last year. You’ve played exactly zero good offenses. Same goes for SDSU, except I don’t see many, if any Jacks fans at all, touting any part of our team to be markedly better/worse than last year. We’ve played nobody. We can’t tell anything from the half games the starters played. If anything, we’ve at least smoked an opponent who beat a decent Valley team, but their an situation was a mess. UD beat one of the worst Ivy’s and a terribad Laffy. Either way, we really don’t know dick about either team.

For the other 2 (Cal Poly and UD), I wonder what the score would have been in both of those games if Coach K left the starters in until the 4th or into the 4th?

In The Jacks two regular season back to back wins TC had big days throwing for over 300 yards. What I did find telling is SDSU actually out rushed the Bison in both wins.
What Jacks fans don't want to talk about is the game that was played in between those two games which was a easy win for NDSU.
For you posters who don't believe you can tell if either team is better than last year based on who they have played I disagree. The Bison defensive line is more athletic, more talented than ever before. They are going to be handful for the Jacks o-line.
If NDSU can run the football like they did in the playoff game it could be an much easier than expected win.

Stig will pull out some kind of wrinkle or trick play in this game.

SDSU's OL vs NDSU's DL..........match up that is key to me. If the Jacks cannot contain the pass rush, they lose. TC gets all time to pass or move around to make or extend plays then this is bad for NDSU and they probably will lose.

Some reading from a Jackrabbit perspective for those who are interested. The stat he lists that jumps out to me is the one on Stick. Honestly I might have to check those numbers myself, they seem off. If they are on it certainly fortified the idea of making Stick have to beat us with his arm.

He is 1-2 as a starter against the Jacks and has completed 61% of his passes against the Jacks for just 186 yards and has thrown 3 touchdowns to 4 interceptions
http://jackrabbitillustrated.blogspot.com/2018/09/game-preview-north-dakota-state.html


EDIT: Looks like he’s averaging 186 yards per game. In the two losses his lines were 14/20 for 143 yards with 0 tds and 0 ints in 2016 and 16/28 for 229 yards with 2 tds and 3 ints in 2017. In the playoff win he was 12/21 for 222 yds, 1 td and 1 int.

For you posters who don't believe you can tell if either team is better than last year based on who they have played I disagree. The Bison defensive line is more athletic, more talented than ever before. They are going to be handful for the Jacks o-line.
If NDSU can run the football like they did in the playoff game it could be an much easier than expected win.

Honestly, due to the inexperience of our OL and the lack of in-game reps when it matters, I expect NDSU to win by two scores.

[Hammerhead]

LOL, no. I did manage to score two tickets from a season ticket holder who just found out there is a wedding they want to attend on Saturday. He was nice enough to sell them at face value since I sold him tickets for the Kansas State game at face value when we had a late change of plans. I didn't want them going to a SDSU fan.



Have any Bison fans got a call/email/message from the AD saying we need to buy up tickets so the dome will not be overtaken by Jacks fans?

Eh, not necessarily. Lot of factors against the Jacks here. They always seem to do poorly out of a bye week, the o line hasn’t seemed to be completely in mid season form yet, I expect the crowd to be at a fever pitch after the last two years, our offense sans Goedert and Jake hasn’t been really tested by a great defense yet, and our defense has yet to play more than a series against an offense with a pulse.

The Gods that granted me this awesome power, pulled that power when I chose not to double down on JMU against NDSU in the semi's that one year. My love of the almighty dollar and the fear of my wife being pissed that I just lost about $500 on a college football betting, upset the Gods that granted me the power to control football outcomes to their liking. I wasn't willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and was punished accordingly. I need to get back in the God's good graces and may have to actually put $$ on SDSU to appease them.

Did you seriously bet on SDSU the past 2 marker games?

[CappinHard]

It isn't a theory. He hurt his throwing hand the week before against UNH when we still had him in the game and he got drilled out of bounds.

Not making excuses for our loss. However, we are as bad as the Patriots about disclosing injuries.

I've heard that the original injury was from the USD game and he just played through it in the UNH game, but he may have injured it worse on that hit you're talking about where he was in the game WAYYY too late, especially if he was already injured.

[POD Knows]

Did you seriously bet on SDSU the past 2 marker games?No, in 2016 I bet on UND over Richmond in the playoffs, lost that bet happily, then I doubled down on SDSU over NDSU, lost that bet happily and then I was going to double down on the JMU/NDSU game, I was going to take JMU but didn't follow through and NDSU lost, there was no way JMU would have won that game if I had doubled down and taken them. SDSU would not have the marker if I decided to bet on them in the games with the Bison. It is a strange power I have to determine the outcomes of games in my favor by putting skin in the game on the team that I really want to lose. I am a hedger when it comes to stuff like this, just like I hedge my investments to manage risk, I hedge my betting towards a win win deal. Did I lose some money on the UND and SDSU wagers in 2016, yep, was it worth it, ****ing aye Ray.

Some reading from a Jackrabbit perspective for those who are interested. The stat he lists that jumps out to me is the one on Stick. Honestly I might have to check those numbers myself, they seem off. If they are on it certainly fortified the idea of making Stick have to beat us with his arm.

http://jackrabbitillustrated.blogspot.com/2018/09/game-preview-north-dakota-state.html


EDIT: Looks like he’s averaging 186 yards per game. In the two losses his lines were 14/20 for 143 yards with 0 tds and 0 ints in 2016 and 16/28 for 229 yards with 2 tds and 3 ints in 2017. In the playoff win he was 12/21 for 222 yds, 1 td and 1 int.

Your own radio show admitted that it’s probably getting to that point for ndsu as well. There’s nothing wrong in admitting this is always the biggest game of the regular season for both teams.

From a playoff perspective this game has been crucial for us to get a seed and not get sent through Fargo. If we win we are in control of our destiny to avoid that trip, if not then odds are we get a path through Fargo. Why wouldn’t we do everything we can to win that game? Just because we haven’t won a natty doesn’t mean this game is more important to us than the ultimate goal, but you guys can keep using that phrase to belittle our wins I guess.

Stick is a better runner than he is a passer. TC is an equally good runner and better passer. There's a reason why teams say that they need to make Stick beat them with his arm, because he's just not that good of a passer. Have you ever heard teams say that to beat SDSU you need to make TC beat you with his arm?

That's because NDSU's run game is that dominant. If Christion played for NDSU you would hear that just as often as you would with Stick.

Provided both teams win out, I don't really believe the impacts on seeding are that great. I think the loser ends up at worst #3 (and I think SDSU would be better prepared for a road semi than they were last year), the winner will be #1 or #2 and home for the playoffs.

It all has to play out of course, but 5 of JMU's remaining 7 games are against teams currently ranked in the AGS polls (Richmond and UNH are unranked). I think they could hold onto the #2 even with a CAA loss (provided it's not to UNH or Richmond) if they win the autobid, though the #3 is more likely.

The CAA is looking stacked so far this year. 7 teams currently ranked in the AGS Top 25. I think it's going to be tougher for JMU to go undefeated in the league this year than it has been in years past.

Also, whether they win or lose this one SDSU is good for at least one WTF loss each year so it really depends on what some others like Kennesaw do for both teams in this game to end up in the top 3 at the end of the year.

SDSU also goes on the road to Illinois St and UNI in back-to-back weeks later this season. They have a very unbalanced schedule in terms of road vs home (but their WTF loss has happened at home before too).

[CappinHard]

I really don't think that is true. If Christion played for NDSU, it would be unfair for the rest of the FCS. Thankfully NDSU has Christion-lite instead.

We'll agree to disagree then because I don't think there's much difference between the two.

EDIT: To clarify if I had to say who's the better passer I'd say Christion and if I had to say who's the better runner I'd say Stick. That's not to say Christion is a subpar runner or Stick is a subpar passer... quite the opposite actually but if we could choose the total package from either you'd take Christion and I'd take Stick and neither of us would be wrong. xtwocentsx

It’d be fun to see it played at a neutral site, like in Minnesota at US Bank Stadium or even Target Field. But it’d kind of ruin the whole Dakota feel if it’s in Minnesota.

It would be fun to have this in a 30-35K stadium where it would be awesome, but I really believe due to the Marker thing, it would not work. Hell, they could play this in a cowpasture with a crown in the middle of the field with port-a-pottys lining the stadium and it would still be fun as hell. Oh wait... :D


That 2013 UNI-NDSU game would have been perfect for Minneapolis due to the hype and abilities for both teams.

Not that good of a passer? Really? His stats say otherwise.

ES doesn't need to sling it around for video game passing numbers. Dominate run game and tough defense. His passing compliments both of those.

It's much easier to throw the ball well when teams are stacking the box every down, and you only have to throw it 17 times a game. Due to the types of offense NDSU and SDSU run, it's impossible to compare Stick and Christion statistically. Going by the eye test, I'll take TC throwing the ball over Stick any day.

If he was as good as claimed at passing then his record against SDSU would likely be 3-0 and not 1-2. At minimum he would be 2-1, as during the 2016 game if he would have connected on a couple more passes it’s ndsu running out the clock at the end of the game while Jacks fans are angry about missed opportunities in the red zone. He’s not a bad qb, but he doesn’t throw as good of a ball as TC IMO and I’m not sure he’s quite as good at his progressions. He’s sure not bad, I just think TC is a better passer.

No Bison fan has claimed ES is a perfect passer or greatest in the FCS. He is good. But when you Jacks fans poo poo him or his stats saying "oh he's good....but"...."TC is better"......Ya, TC might be better but being a very good QB is more than just passing numbers.

Toughness
Leadership
Thinking/decision making on the fly


You can throw in any adjectives you want to. Would I trade ES for anyone else in the FCS...heck no. Could ES put up numbers like TC in their type of offense? IMO, he could.

My sentiment on the Christion vs. Stick debate was proposed by Thump-Daddy in the past, but it essentially comes down to 1 question: If Easton and Taryn switched places, would NDSU/SDSU have had similiar success, particularly against each other?

I don't think we would have won the last 2 games against NDSU if we had Stick as our QB rather than Christion, but I have a feeling NDSU would have at least won the same number of championships had Taryn been their QB for the past 3 years.

I'm sure there was, but it wasn't me. I think Stick is a good QB and damn near perfect for the Bison's system, but a system QB no less. That doesn't mean all Bison QBs are that. I remember watching Carson and thinking, "This kid would thrive on any team in the country," as his talent was undeniable.

Agreed. You could see that Wentz was really really really good. You just don't see the same thing with Stick. That's why I think people that think Stick is going to be an NFL QB are reaching and basing it on Wentz's success.

This is why BisoNation is hyped about Trey Lance. Stick is a hell of an FCS QB, but I believe that is all he is. He will get a camp invite, but IMO, if he wants to play, he will either have to go north of the border or take one of these alternate league routes.

My recollection on that zenner wildcat crap was that they ran it heavy in the 1st half to good success, but seemed to quit running it in the 2nd half, which I thought was a major reason they lost.

Hard to say which QB is better when they play on completely different teams with different personnel and offensive schemes. They each seem to get the job done most of time. I think each would thrive just the same if they switched teams but we will never know. Easton does a great job of getting us into the right play most of the time whether it's a run or pass play and that's more critical then how his stats look, the guy just wants to win.

Evidently the writer thinks that NDSU and SDSU don't play a very good non-conference schedule.

I think it is a terrible article but decide for yourselves.

Has that guy not been paying attention the last 10 years? We'd love to play a P5 every year, try getting them to bring NDSU in for a $500K loss. Try getting top FCS schools to Fargo for OOC games. To be the best you have to beat the best? I think NDSU has done a pretty damn good job of that, too good apparently!

It’s becoming hard for SDSU to get quality FCS teams to Brookings. Montana State is a solid opponent but no where near our level. I’d like to see teams like EWU, JMU etc. I’d rather lose 1-2 OOC games against great teams and be ready for a playoff run, over beating AR-PB 90-6 and getting trashed by JMU in the semis or NDSU in the playoffs in general. The MVFC isn’t as strong this year honestly outside of SDSU, NDSU and maybe Illinois State.

There was no mention that I saw about the Iowa State game that got stormed out. Quite an omission on his part.

Eh, as a fan I would like it if they could line those up with the home games the years we like this one where the home conference slate is weak as hell. In reality though, for pretty much any MVFC team the ideal schedule is one good OOC team, one cupcake, and one FBS. The conference beats the team down enough without adding a full slate of tough OOC games. Then you add up the playoffs on top of it and you get one hell of a meat grinder. Look at what happened to ndsu in 2016 when their OOC was Iowa, Coastal, and EWU. They ended up wore down a bit in the playoffs and certainly didn’t help them. That and you won’t see a ton of great OOC matchups with ndsu anyways with their current scheduling philosophy. They are looking to only schedule home and homes if their away portion is during a 12 game season. Narrows the possibility of marquee matchups quite a bit IMO.

There is zero reason to do this when a #1 seed looks like a 7-1/8-0 run in the conference and an easy cakewalk through the OOC for a 10-1/11-0 season. The committee has made it clear they do not care about a tough ooc, just wins. Why would we, as a fanbase, risk losing out on playing at home, just so we can play tough teams and get beat up and lose key players for a playoff run?

I'd love it if NDSU could play the following:

Even year: P5 on the road, Home against solid OOC team, and a cupcake home against a bottom feeder team for new redshirt rule/rest for other players
Odd year: Road against solid OOC team, a decent OOC team at home, and a cupcake home against a bottom feeder team for new redshirt rule/rest for other players

I finished reading the article just now and it’s comedy gold. This guy thinks USD is great for scheduling K-State and losing by 3. That’s cool and all but there’s a reason NDSU and SDSU struggle to get these games, they’ve got a proven track record of playing tight and for NDSU, winning them. USD has beaten Minnesota which is good and Bowling Green. SDSU has never scheduled a G5 team and if we would’ve scheduled some we’d have more FBS wins.
Plus NDSU/SDSU don’t need the money from these games.

The guy is a moron and doesn't know sh** about FCS scheduling and how hard it is for top teams.

This here.

This writer doesn't know jack squat. Look at NDSU's '16 OOC schedule. Both Charleston Southern and EWU were ranked....and wow, Iowa was #12 or something like that.

He must have been on the Joose....All the SDSU people here saying they didn't run up the score, yet Herr Joosemeier admits he ran up the score. Quite frankly, this UAPB team has no business playing in FCS, although they seem competitive in the SWAC....Go figure. Is it respectful to go into the victory formation and take 4 consecutive knees starting in the 2nd quarter? Turn the ball over on your own 20 yd line to give your D some red zone practice?

"After the game, SDSU head football coach John Stiegelmeier apologized to Ark-Pine Bluff for running up the score.
“I’m disappointed in how I managed the game,” he said. “I should’ve slowed it down earlier in the game. I should’ve been more respectful to our opponent and I apologize to Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Coach Thomas. I could’ve been a better coach tonight.”

Special, like getting bent over and a$$ fu**ed like your first time to the semi's? They weren't even gentle enough to give you a reach around

I stand corrected. He did mention the Iowa State game. Still a terrible article.

SDSU isn’t as powerful as NDSU (only 1-8 against FBS teams since 2008), but they did schedule Iowa State for their season opener on Sept. 1. Unfortunately, rain sent them back to Brookings before a game was played. At least they tried.

It is coming from a USD guy. They are like UND in that they have an inferiority complex with the better school in their state.
