#1 NDSU @ YSU

[Professor Chaos]

Let's get this one going. YSU is teetering on the edge of the playoff bubble right now at 5-3 (1-3). This would be a monumental win for them. The last 2 games between these two in Youngstown were both narrow 27-24 Bison wins. In 2015 they trailed 24-10 going into the 4th quarter before a furious comeback (this was Bo Pelini's famous meltdown game) and in 2017 the game went to OT. Even last year in the Fargodome it was only a NDSU 17-7 win that was tied going into the 4th quarter so YSU knows how to play NDSU well. NDSU is coming off a hugely emotional win in Brookings so there are plenty of Bison fans that are nervous about this one.

I'm hoping to see NDSU unleash Trey Lance and the passing game since he's had a couple really pedestrian games throwing the ball these last 2 weeks and YSU seems more susceptible to the pass than the run. But running the ball will always be NDSU's bread and butter so I'm sure they'll stay committed to it and I'm sure YSU will be geared up to stop it. For YSU it sounds like the QB Mays is finally getting healthy again but I'm sure they're still going to rely on the run game as well so we'll see which team can run the ball more effectively.

Finally, this preseason hype video produced by YSU seems to show that there might be some added motivation in this game for the Penguins considering they've came close a few times over the last few years but have kept coming up short against NDSU:

Who you got and why?

[The Yo Show]

NDSU wins this one in a laugher BOOKIT! Bet the house on NDSU +18.5 spread right now. You will come away a rich man. I can't even imagine a world where that wouldn't hit.... I'm doing that right now, I'm imagining and it just isn't possible. Parlay that with NDSU straight up and the under and you're golden.

If that doesn't hit, you don't know me.

YAWN nothing to see here. Self loving NDSU thread.

YSU has as much of a chance of winning as I have boinking Jennifer Garner [emoji19]

Too bad those odds aren't higher!

[Paladin1aa]

While I still expect YSU to win 7 games, this isn’t one of them.

[BeamMeUp]

If the YSU team that went to Carbondale comes to play, NDSU in a blowout.

If the YSU team that showed signs of being pretty darn good for bits and pieces of the other 7 games (especially in that 1st half against SDSU), then this can very well be a close one. I fully anticipate NDSU winning this game, but would not be at all surprised if this is a 1 score game going into the 4th quarter. YSU has been tied or leading in three of the past four games against the Bison in the 4th quarter, and of course last year's YSU squad was just awful. Bo's squads seem to match up fairly well with NDSU and if you watch his press conference again from today, he clearly has a ton of respect for the NDSU program.

NDSU 27
YSU 17

IF YSU pulls off the upset, Nate Mays playing the entire game will be the key. He, not really anyone else on offense, has given NDSU fits in the past couple years.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

It will be close.

YSU always plays NDSU tough and I expect that again. The Penguins must be the most Jeckle/Hyde team in the FCS. W

Was the non-con too soft?

Which team will do a better job of stopping the run?

In the end I think NDSU wins this something like 28-10 or 28-13

[mvfcfan]

NDSU 36-10. Got to include the 2 pt conversion try when NDSU goes up 8-0.

[Bisonator]

YSU always plays us tough. Bo's defense limit's are run game better then anyone's. That said I don't see how YSU's offense gets more then 10 on our defense. It'll be close to the end, much closer than I like but NDSU wins 21-10.

[Paladin1aa]

Bozo will probably target the Bison run game. His schemes usually can be tough on the run. However when other team makes adjustments, Bozo often gets caught flat footed and chokes because he can’t adjust on the fly , only in prepared schemes. He also has some serious liabilities in his pass D. If NDSU throws on YSU CB #7, they will find success often.

Its no secret YSU has a QB of limited abilities. He is game but lacks the tools. He is a key. If Bison control his run game, it won’t be close and as he doesn’t pass well, I expect some sacks/ INT from the leaky YSU OL when NDSU comes after him.

I’d like to see a close game as a chess game happens with run games from each, but don’t see that happening. YSU will get exposed again. Bison 28-10.

[Paladin1aa]

I might note it is important for YSU to come out of what will be a highly physical game with NDSU, healthy. I still see wins vs. USD and ISUb putting them at 7-4 heading into a showdown the last game with ISUr. While it’s important to try to beat #1 NDSU, it will be on the line with ISUr - last game, last home game (SeniorDay) and probable playoffs with a win or stay at home with a loss. A win over Bison would probably get them in at 7-5. Without it, they will need to beat ranked ISUr to finish 8-4 to get in .

I think YSU would need to get to 8-4 even with if they can pick up a win over NDSU. I know the committee isn't supposed to look at conference record as a criteria but it would seen unlikely they would put a team with a 3-5 conference record into the field even if they had a signature win like that.

Add to that they'd probably be 6th at best in the MVFC standings in that scenario.

[Schism55]

Worried about this one. Classic trap game for the Bison week after most emotional game of the season. Longest road trip of the year, Guins are big, physical and always play NDSU tough. Should be an old fashioned slobber knocker.

[Tazman2664]

I do not think it will be a blow out but I do believe NDSU will have control of the game. Much like the SDSU game, I had no concerns until SDSU tied the game at 16, but knowing NDSU was going to get the ball again, I just felt NDSU was still in control. Field goals mostly, never beat you. Having 4 or more losses will be tough to get into the playoffs so YSU will, more than likely, need to beat both NDSU and ISU. The biggest issue for YSU is the loss to SIU, that one hurts the most right now. If they finish with 4 losses, that might be the loss that keeps them out. Losing to SDSU and UNI are not bad losses but if they also have one from NDSU or ISU, the SIU loss takes them out, I feel anyway.

If we cannot complete a pass against your defense with our inconsistent OL play it will be a blowout. I am not sure what YSU team will show up. If they do show up it will be as you say.

[Paladin1aa]

Just checked the Game Notes and feeling a little better about the game. YSU will not start a consistently weak CB, #7. That helps the D tremendously. On O, they will start a bigger WR, which should help with blocking and create a bigger pass target. Otherwise team is healthy and all starters will play.

I note even the Bison have 8 Florida players and several from Ga.,Cal.,Tx. And even has a starter from Ohio, a kicker. Bozo could take some recruiting lessons from NDSU.

[skinny_uncle]

Bison win by double digits. No problem.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Listened to Bo on local radio this week and sounds like his team will be ready for the Bison.

Mays (QB) is not 100% so making them 1-dimensional is a must for the Bison.

Bring pressure and get him to move out of the pocket and make mistakes.

I'm sure like most other teams, the Penguins are going to crash hard to stop A gap power to try and get the Bison in 1st and 2nd and long situations and move a safety into the box for run support.

YSU has a good defense: Ranked #17 in total defense and #27 in scoring defense. NDSU's defense is #2 and #3 in both.....but IMO they are the best defense in the FCS considering who is in front of them...xrolleyesx

Should be a hard hitting game.

Yeah, he's our resident Skip Bayless. His takes are more to get a reaction than to have any basis of real thought behind them. He's also part of the "old guard" of NDSU media coverage in Fargo who likes to consider themselves unbiased (and turn their noses up at the newer guys in the market who are definitely biased) so they'll look for ways to prove it by trying to be the "I told you so" guy when the Bison inevitably lose at some point.

He threw a dart... maybe it hits the bullseye. If it does he'll let everyone know about it for a while... if it doesn't other than a few twitter jabs at him tonight probably it'll go forgotten once next Monday rolls around.

Well, I predicted a 28-10 Bison win but it’s going to be far worse than that. Recruiting is bad as I’ve been warning over Bozos tenure. Seriously exposed for the second consecutive game of not being prepared by the coaches. Bison looked very good .

Hey, Red, the real test is not this week with the Bison. It’s the next 2 with So. Dakota and ISUb. We don’t belong in top half of the league. Question is where do we fit in the lower half. Like I’ve said, Bozo is a poor recruiter and HC. It shown for his tenure here.

Let me keep this simple , Red - they are blinded in recruiting the State of Ytown and that train left years ago. The better players are in Fl., Ga. Tx and Cal. Ohio and Pa players should be limited to only outstanding and they are recruiting very average or worse. The best Ohio and Pa players we don’t get after being picked over by the big leagues, MAC and other FCS.Yep, we can beat the Mickey Mouse programs of FCS, and lower half teams in MVFC. However YSU is not the power of yesteryear AND it gets WORSE next year. Much worse. NDSU is built on the model we used to be - power football, solid D, good special teams and built with good talent. Hats off to them for doing it right.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Pelini is an excellent DC. He is not a great HC unless he has a strong staff and access to an abundance of resources. He does not have a strong staff at YSU and he doesn't have the resources. However they do have facilities that are pretty nice, especially the indoor facility. Other than that, they aren't swimming in money and he can't pay for the best coaches in the nation so he hired the worst defensive back in school history as the DC and he couldn't cover a golf club. In addition I don't think he cares to recruit and when he does he gets just enough of what he thinks he will need to win several games. He isn't stocking the cupboard.

[The Yo Show]

I think he's a decent coach but horrible recruiter. If we had a recruiter while he's been coach I think we would be alright. Idk

Quick summary - YSU had their butts handed to them. NDSU is doing it the right way and is favored for another NC.

Back at the cheerleader board, they are going ballistic and as usual don’t understand what the problem is.

1. Fire the AD. It all begins with him, inept coach hires ( football, MBB, WBB), poor decisions on coach contract extensions, game scheduling, promos, etc. He is a disaster and nothing changes till he is gone. Don’t kid yourself.

2. Bozo is a good DC and poor HC. He hates recruiting and it shows. Has a young inexperienced staff stained with Ytown politics. Needs a house cleaning.

3. Ignore the local dummies demanding YSU recruit local stars. That is a continuing formula for failure. Limit Ohio and Pa. recruits. Hit Fl. And Ga hard, hit the Cal. Jucos and have a national recruit approach.

4. Get rid of the cheerleaders. Bring in tight evaluation and demand accountability. Stop catering to the fat cats in the loges and give special attention to the fans in the seats.

5.Stop scheduling cupcakes. Grow some gonads and play a respectable schedule. Play good competition if you want to get better and judge fairly the progress of the program.

And if you don’t want to do that, stop whining and accept the mediocrity. You only get the program that you demand with pressure and drop your support if you don’t. YSU is a cesspool of political problems that needs cleaned out. Do it or just accept the consequences.

Have a good day. :)

[Professor Chaos]

FWIW Massey favors YSU to win their last 3. He only gives them a 3 point spread next week at USD and a 1 point spread in the season finale at home vs Illinois St but favors them to win nonetheless.

[Paladin1aa]

I’d agree with that. It might change with YSU losing their starting QB and maybe the backup as well as their starting RB, but at this point there are no excuses. Win out or stay home. I’ll probably pick them to win out , but could be close most of the way.

[penguinpower]

Mark Waid is going to be a good QB. Should have been the stater all year from what I saw yesterday. Why not start him? Now if they burn his redshirt they are stupid.

Secondly, May’s injury is very very serious. Hopefully it doesn’t affect his life after football

[Paladin1aa]

Here’s the news ( and I said so PRESEASON) - Waid is their best QB, hands down. Bozo sent him to 3rd string with the story they would redshirt him. Complete BS. Bozo was afraid of making some of team mad if he benched Mays, a popular team leader but not the best QB. Mays graduates. Craycraft as an underclassmen they risked transferring out next year if they started Waid ahead of him. The rest of the QBs are walkons and none are worthy of this level. That meant that they faced recruiting next season with a True Frosh starter this year, which would seriously hamper the ability to recruit an incoming talented Frosh who could see sitting for years behind Waid. Translation - Bozo has been a pizz poor recruiter especially of QBs and he threw away this year by benching his best QB fearing a bad situation next year if he started a true Frosh.

Another example of a poor HC. It is what it is. Fans can live with it or do something about it.

They wasted some of Waid's 4 allowable redshirt playing games by having him in for a snap or two without anything meaningful. Which is sad. This NDSU game was his last game he could play without having to burn his redshirt... as he has now played in 4 games. Also... he is now our backup since Mays is done. OH AND Craycroft has a rib injury (haven't heard how bad or if broken). If they are broken ribs, Waid's redshirt year is gone.

What is your playing experience or coaching? Not to beat anybody up on this subject but the best players should be playing. Not sure what the importance of Waid's red shirt means to you all? He's by far the only talent YSU has at QB. Bo's got a problem with recruiting that is obvious. Waid seems to be the only decent find for him besides a few x-fers. Mays and Craycroft is barley DII talent. As a coach Bo should play his best. just because players been there and paid their dues with time don't mean the Freshman can't beat them out. Hell they are getting a free education with scholies to play a childhood dream. I don't think this is a wasted red shirt he should have played since Samford.

As an outsider looking in, YSU always has talent, especially on defense. I don't think recruiting is an issue. Maybe at the key position of QB but YSU seems to always have talent.

Coaching?
Scheme?
Culture?

The tradition is definitely there. Proud history and a blue blood of the FCS (1AA).

Specifically in football, my playing or coaching experience is negligible. That being said, I agree that he should have been playing from the beginning. However, since that is not what the intent of the coaching staff was, I'm merely pointing out that it is unfortunate and a waste because the intention was to redshirt him AND now he is going to LOSE a year of eligibility for playing in essentially 4 games?

The 2-3 snaps or less he saw in the first 3 games they had him in is nothing. He did play almost the entire second half of the NDSU game due to injury to Craycroft He may start the rest of the season now. So all I'm saying is with as good as he is, sure sucks to lose a whole year of eligibility for him at this point when he's effectively not going to play more than 4 actual games worth of experience.

TLDR: He should have started from the beginning but he didn't, now he's losing a year of eligibility for hardly playing any games.

[The Yo Show]

And what I mean by four actual games, I mean the fact that if Craycrofts injury is serious he will play in the final 3 games, plus add all the first 3 games he played together with the half of the last one and its basically a single game so four games.

[Paladin1aa]

You are kind ,Bison Fan NW MN, but reality is we are no where near where we used to be. It is recruiting, some bad coaching. Culture is still, surprisingly, good. This is a hotbed for football. Yes, there is some talent here but it’s not as good as we used to have. I’ve been warning for years that the recruits were not as good. Former player and coach here so I see on film the new recruits coming in and it is embarrassing. The staff after the Pelinis are young, inexperienced and don’t offer much to the program. They are easily out coached in games when adjustments are made against YSU. Schemes are often countered and they have no come back answer. However the talent gap is the biggest obstacle. Enough here to beat the Mickey Mouse programs of much of FCS but not the top half of the MVFC.

Bozo doesn’t like to recruit and expecting good players to come here because he is Bo Pelini, former Nebraska coach is hilarious. He has no one of stature on the staff who is a great recruiter.

We lack QBs, real quality RBs and the OL is substandard and there is nothing behind them. Hear this - there isnt one legitimate OT on the roster, not a one. One starter gets tossed around like a 300 lb. rag doll and the other looks weak and slow. Both are probably better suited to play C or G. No other OTs on the roster ability wise. WRs are the weakest group we have had in years. There are holes in the D as well.

Reputation means little when you don’t have the talent on the field to back up your claim. It is what it is.
