2021 Fall National Championship: #2 North Dakota State vs #8 Montana State

[TheKingpin28]

This field is absolute trash. I hope both coaches make it clear that bowl games should not be played to allow the field to properly heal after the soccer season.

You guys got whacked by Montana St. Just own it.
Did I say we didn’t? MSU won, I’m not denying that. What I’m saying is that our coaching staff botched that game and this season terribly. I’m saying it stings knowing that our team was more than capable of being here considering they manhandled the Bison for a good chunk of that game earlier in the season. Am I not allowed to want better results from a program who had all of the resources in the world

Really close to targeting.

[JacksFan40]

I don't agree with that. I thought MSU's front 7 played well against SDSU's physical front seven. Your secondary got torched over and over by the Bobcats passing game. Villanova had guys running wide open too by Tommy is a better QB than the Cat's Smith. Villanova played you guys tough but the Jacks ground game and missed plays by Nova in the second half was the difference. Montana State was able to keep the gas pedal down for 4 quarters unlike 'Nova. Sacramento also torched the SDSU secondary in the second half. SDSU was a bit fortunate to win that game. The Hornets outplayed SDSU in the second half.

SDSU has a good program but they can't hold NDSU's jockstrap outside of a meaningless regular season win from time to time. Alabama has those too.
SDSU manhandled NDSU during the regular season. SDSU manhandled Sac State in the first half and would’ve continued to do so if we actually kept pounding the rock down their throat instead of trying to pass. SDSU also would’ve had more success against MSU if we kept running with Davis who was averaging like 7 YPC. I’ve watched our team this entire season and seen how much potential they have and how it was wasted by a coach who didn’t accomplish anything until we stated pouring millions into our program to get facility and resources that most G5 and some P5 schools would kill for.

Whatever, it’s over and let’s not distract from this ass kicking.

[Christiank22]

I don’t think that’s targeting

[caribbeanhen]

Same. When Montana St won, I felt WAY more comfortable going into this game. I would not have been confident had they played the Joose is Loose Bunnies.

I get your frustration but there's other programs with equal or perhaps more resources than SDSU in FCS who also can't beat NDSU when it matters. SDSU has a good program but they're not close to the Bison level in terms of success, name brand, support etc.. SDSU has solid support but their attendance is not that of NDSU or the Montana schools.

I don't get the SDSU entitlement that they should be or are better than they are relative to some of the other institutions in FCS. You guys have a long way to go just like everyone else.

[Bison56]

100% agree

[Bluetazman]

LOL, Elvis? Where? I want his autograph.

MSU fans have to be sick watching this game. Every time they think they have nailed in all the nails, the coffin still comes open, another long first down.

But I watched a group of analyst talk about this game and they felt MSU had not played a game where both the O and D lines were smaller than the opponents. And that is coming to light watching this game. And NDSU is running things up, over 200 yards on the ground in the FIRST HALF. AND MSUs D line is their best asset!

My question for the MSU fans, would you want to play this game or just remember the 1984 title? Because this game is going to stain all thoughts about a National Title.

[UNHWildcat18]

I’m sorry, I like MSU, but I can’t get over how BAD this defense is.

It's not the expecting them to win a title that gets bothersome. It's the continued declaration they're the better team than all the playoff teams they lose to. They just get outcoached or outperformed every opportunity they get. Just because a team is better fit to play NDSU than the rest of the country, it doesn't necessarily mean they're a better team than everyone else, I mean how many times has SDSU lost where the narrative has been, "well we're the better team. just didn't show up." It gets old after a while.

As long as Stig is the coach, they will continue to come up short year after year.

We’ve been in the same spot since 2012, we can’t win when it matters. The reason our fanbase is entitled is because our teams consistently underperform every year, we always lose 2-3 games in the regular season and play ourselves out of home field advantage. You know why our attendance sucks? Because nobody has any faith in this program to accomplish anything. This season was one of our best in terms of attendance as we were riding high off of the success in the Spring. We pissed away all of our opportunities to build on this momentum and will likely have garbage attendance for next year as our hone game opponents look underwhelming.

I’m done venting about this, I’ll wait until next years 3 regular season losses and playoff disappointment to vent again.

If we’re getting out coached, that usually has something to do with our coaches last I checked. I never whined about our disappointments during the D2 years because I knew our teams just weren’t quite good enough to match NDSU, even if we had better coaching. These days though? Yeah, we have the teams to match NDSU and any other FCS team. If we beat Iowa next season and still go 8-3 with a playoff exit on the road I will not be surprised at all.

JMU has a solid football team, but Cignetti always has an excuse. His act grew tiresome at this level and I don't think the Dukes will succeed at the next level until he is gone.

The whining we are hearing from SDSU fans about losing when they are the better team is the same thing we hear from the JMU fan base every time they lost to the Bison.

NDSU fans like myself can be obnoxious and we haven't earned anything. It was just tiresome hearing that despite losing the last 3 matchups JMU was apparently the better team in all of those games and that these are the two dynasties in FCS. That is why many of us get carried away and call them trash.

Back to the title game, super disappointed Tommy can't play. I was hoping for a competitive game.

[caribbeanhen]

Love that people were ****ting so hard on JMU who had to play NDSU in the dome. That game should have been the NC on a neutral field. This game is going to be a blow out. Tommy would have helped but NDSU is still going to role

All true

The National Championship game was played in the Fargo Dome

[Bluetazman]

I believe SDSU has the talent to win, there is a reason why they get as deep into the playoffs each year. But when those games that really, really count, you need a coach who can prep and make the right calls to get you over the hump. And Stig proves it year in and year out, he is not that guy. And the problem is, eventually, SDSU is going to loose those recruits because they can't win the big games. By signing Stig to 2 more years really deflates that recruiting bubble. Recruits are going to sign else where because SDSU wasn't willing to pull that trigger. I laugh at how many good recruits from SD sign with NDSU. And until SDSU realizes that, they have to accept getting to the playoffs. But I guess that is why so many SD fans are Vikings, Twins, Wolves and Wild fans; just getting to the playoffs is all they want and are happy with. So any SDSU fans should never, ever talk about winning a National Title, they will always be behind NDSU, always.

Anybody with a brain recognizes what you said but it seems like so many are unwilling to admit it. SDSU will win solely because of the talent they have, never because of the coaching. There’s a reason Stig never achieve better than 8 wins before 2012. He was fortunate that we had some wealthy benefactors willing to put millions into our program to elevate it to essentially solid G5 level. Before that he was no better than Mike Daly.

In other news this game is a royal ass kicking and MSU never stood a chance, even with Tommy.

[uofmman1122]

Before today, I kinda wanted MSU to win, but I was wrong.

This is the perfect result.

[JMUflyer]

This is what happens when a superior team goes up against an inferior team. JMU should never have been put on the same side of the FCS bracket as NDSU. Montana won't score until NDSU puts in the 2's. At least JMU don't let the Bison beat us by more than a touchdown.

So apparently MSU receivers can just throw DB’s to the ground and its no issue at all?

That happened because SHSU was overrated and played a soft schedule all year. They hung onto their #1 seed simply because they were defending asterisk champs & undefeated. Everyone with a brain knows NDSU should have been #1 and JMU should have been #2. All other teams should have been unseeded.

Let this game be a lesson to all offensive play callers. Just because your QB can run like a RB doesn’t mean you use him like a RB. I saw the same thing for my alma mater high school a few years ago where the coach used his QB for running the ball as much as his RB and the QB broke his neck and the season went down the drain. Wasted away a possible state title run on terrible play calling.

Well as I have said, it is coaching, and as long as Stig is there, SDSU has no chance. A funny point, in the last 5 years there has been 2 times SDSU could have played NDSU in the Natty and both times SDSU lost. And, as I said, the time is running out on SDSU before those recruits Stig is getting that makes them as good or close to NDSU will go else where. The SD kids are already coming to NDSU and the good recruits from outside SDSU will not sign with them because SDSU rep is no better than second. Several recruits NDSU got this year also had an invite from SDSU but went with NDSU, and talk is those recruits are very good. Under Stig, any recruit who gets an NDSU and SDSU invite will pick NDSU because of the rep of 9 nattys in 11 years and none for SDSU. And word is, 3 of SDs top 3 talent has signed with NDSU, as far a top 3 FCS talent.

Any kid who doesn’t have any affiliations to either school is going to choose NDSU every time if offered by both. We lose recruiting battles to NDSU, that’s nothing new. What I’m worried about is if USD and UND start to consistently put together good seasons and starts winning recruiting battles against us. If that happens we may be back in the D2 days as the 4th best Dakota school, only this time we won’t have Augie to beat up on.

[Bluetazman]

I am elated, I placed a 31 - 10 $100 bet with a 7.5 variance. With NDSU win 38-10 I am within that variance, my $100 bet paid me $1,000. Wahoo!!!!! Sad to say, but this was a beat down. But I knew it. As those analyst said MSU had not played a team that had a bigger O AND D line and that would we be a telling fact and it was. Wahoo!!!!!

Hey SDSU that was #9, how many for you? hehehe (and that is #9 in 11 years).

Completely disagree. Montana State absolutely deserved to win that game. They were the better team from the start.

If people on here can't figure out contextually what the loss of TD Tommy did to the entire MSU sideline against a team of NDSU's caliber is hapless when it comes to critically think on a human level imo.

SDSU has a nice program but they're definitely not a better team/program than MSU. Honestly, MSU has better support.

Completely disagree. Montana State absolutely deserved to win that game. They were the better team from the start.

If people on here can't figure out contextually what the loss of TD Tommy did to the entire MSU sideline against a team of NDSU's caliber is hapless when it comes to critically think on a human level imo.

SDSU has a nice program but they're definitely not a better team/program than MSU. Honestly, MSU has better support.





LOL, another SDSU type of fan. Woulda, coulda, shoulda, but lost. Let me guess Go Leigh TU you cheer for the Twins, Vikings, Wolves and the Wild right? hehehe

[NY Crusader 2010]

Delaware vs Colgate is probably the closest I remember. GSU vs YSU in 2000 and Marshall vs Montana in 1996 are the other candidates from my time. NDSU vs Towson was a mismatch but it was a slow bleed. Today was over midway through the 1st quarter....

I tuned out and started watching college hoops...

Same, I switched to Big East basketball at halftime. I put the FCS back on to start the 3rd Q just to see if Tommy would try and play and if MSU could score first.

This game was a bloodbath. Say what you want about the unfortunate injury but NDSU was head and shoulders the better team. Love watching their offense out of the I Formation.

2nd FCS Championship Game in a row where a starting QB went down in the first quarter. SDSU would've won in April with Gronowski and STILL was able to come back and nearly pull it out against Sam Houston.

Seriously. I was expecting good losers since for the most part NDans and MTans are very similar but they have been sour over there. I’m sure it’s just the loud minority

[Ivytalk]

Congratulations to the winners.

I hear Saban wants a home-and-home.

[Bluetazman]

The thing that sticks out the most to me is:

NDSU is 9 for 9 in title games.

There is and will be no other FCS team that will ever be able to say that.
Sam Houston, James Madison, South Dakota State and others have a loss in that game but NDSU does not.

Even if NDSU never wins another title game they will always be able to say we were 9 for 9 at one time. Sure a team might be able to say we won 3 or 4 but never 9 of 9.

If there is ever a recruit that wants to play in the FSC, NDSU is the home they want to go to.

I would bet anyone, even the MSU head coach would jump at the NDSU job if it was open. It does not pay a lot but the previous 2 head coaches, apart of the 8 for 8, each are making a million dollars a year now. NDSU is not just a place for players but for head coaches.

Looking over at their board the poster wasn’t saying it was pathetic that fans ignored the PA announcer and went on the field, but the way we stormed the field was pathetic……. that we should have had every fan on the field within a couple minutes, in spite of some efforts to block the fans from going on the field.

Normal years we would have started going on the field before the clock hit zeros and had the trophy presentation area swamped almost immediately.

Yeah that was unfortunate. I get a kick out some people saying that one player shouldn't be that much of an impact. Funny how it is used so often as an excuse by some people though, even if it isn't true. But sometimes it is a big impact when a player who is real good goes out, and they are a leader and an inspiration to his teammates. Yeah, this QB going out was a big deal. I think this was especially true in this case given the way the season and playoffs unfolded for Mont St. They kind of folded after he went out and they couldn't recover. They really did not look good across the board. Sure they had some moments, but you could see they were off in timing and execution. And of course, NDSU didn't miss a beat. Outcome was never in doubt after he went out. Personally I don't like one man shows, but they happen.

So they lost their QB, how does their defense go into the drink because of that? At NDSU, when the offense looses a key player the defense steps up, when the defense looses a key player the offense steps up. Like any other good team. Wait but this was SDSU, or wait MSU, okay I got it.

Just wanted to echo some other comments on how much fun Montana St fans were to interact with over the last couple days down here. I've been to all 9 of these that the Bison have been in and the Bobcats brought the best opposing fan base of all of them. I was also impressed that their fans pretty much all stuck around to the end of the game and gave their team a well deserved ovation after the final horn sounded.

Other than that all I can say is this NDSU run continues to be a surreal experience as a fan. As a long suffering Vikings and Twins fan I'll never take these championships for granted. And this Bison team should only be better next season (depending on transfer activity or lack thereof). Go Bison! The championship march continues!

[gregatim]

Surprised at how poorly the MSU defense competed today. Stats don’t always tell the entire story. The number 2 rushing defense or whatever they were ranked coming in does not give up 268 yards in the first half.

That's true, but their D probably spent a little more time on the field as a result of him going out. And the D would certainly be affected emotionally when they know their O just lost it's best play maker and leader. It's probably silly speculating, but while I still think NDSU would have won, instead of a 28 point game it "might" have been a 14-17 point game. Again, who knows. The Bison certainly looked good.

Except for the interception, MSU moved the ball fairly well in the 1st half and every drive was over 3 minutes with a 1st down or 3 before stalling out. So it’s not like the defense was getting no rest at all. And after that pick was the one time we punted.

My first game at Dakota field was the opener against Augustana that September. We won the DII title that year with an all frosh backfield. I’ve been hooked since! My Saturday’s in the fall for nearly 40 years revolve around Bison football.
Yesterday I watched them win another FCS championship with a friend I tailgated with in Fargo throughout the 80’s and early 90’s. We were at the Mule Creek Saloon in Surprise AZ. He Is retired now and I am semi retired. We talked about the old times and celebrated the new championship team.
That fall in 83 I almost ended up at MSU in Bozeman. It was my first choice but out of State tuition was a little much for this 22 year old at the time. Today, again... I’m proud to be an alumni of North Dakota State University!

Hiring was for experienced folk laid off in early 80s recesion, deepest at that point since Great Depression, before hiring newbie college grads), they didnt really have widespread cable so couldnt watch game on TV, championship in mid Dec as only 16 teams back then to qualify, its was called 1-AA, and Reagan just re elected to second term a month earlier in a true landslide over Walter Mondale of neighboring Minnesota.

Not singling out Gil here, just making the point that this is why the FCS playoffs is sort of hard to watch nowadays...or talk about. NDSU skews perception to where analyzing the subdivision coherent is just warped to absurdity.

Really good is perception. JMU and Sam have been really good, from my perspective. Both would be 5 on a scale of 1-5. Montana St is 4, good. 3 is average, 2 would be mediocre, and 1 would be bad.

We should be talking about, who is replacing the JMUs and SHSUs. They are there, just not obvious at the moment. Montana St is a candidate, Missouri is getting better, Montana, SDSU is on the edge, ETSU is also on the rise. Time will tell.

MSU had a great season and has a lot to be proud of. But you are being a drama queen. Every year in the playoffs there seems to be a ton of commentary on this board and through various journalists about how team x, y, or z is really hot and how the Bison offense is quite pedestrian and prone to being upset, unimpressive passing the ball, etc. That doesn’t speak at all to “skewed perception”, it speaks to belief to the contrary. It isn’t until after the Championship game that comments like the above come out of the woodwork and whining about a lack of parity commences. You can’t have it both ways. The Bison are NOT going away, if you haven’t noticed! So like it or not the level of football for being a truly great team is higher than it used to be.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Mod abuse! xlolx

is it

:D

[ursus arctos horribilis]

That's true, but their D probably spent a little more time on the field as a result of him going out. And the D would certainly be affected emotionally when they know their O just lost it's best play maker and leader. It's probably silly speculating, but while I still think NDSU would have won, instead of a 28 point game it "might" have been a 14-17 point game. Again, who knows. The Bison certainly looked good.

That is pretty much what I said in my post. This is what MSU and for that matter the Griz were all season. Rely completely on the D and just hope the offense can hold the ball for 5 plays to give them a bit of rest.

Looked to me like MSU had a problem being out of their spots in a lot of big plays that NDSU got. So it is on the D and it would not have looked as bad but NDSU can make you pay with 6 pts. every time you f it up with TA being just a little out of position or biting on something he normally would not bite on against most other teams.

Yup, but it was hard to tell if NDSU just had great schemes or Mont St was just out of position. Either way the Bison made it look easy a few times.

[TheRevSFA]

It was cool to see some of the NDSU folks I met previous years. There were some I didn’t get to meet up with. I sat down a few rows in front of TAB.

Frisco is always a blast to attend. Looking forward to next year.

It boiled down to the trenches. I'm not sure if the Bobcat d-line played a poor game or if the Bison o-line just played great but that Bison o-line was blowing up the Bobcat d-line at the LOS on multiple plays that I've noticed.

Here's an example:
https://twitter.com/colecubelic/status/1479896555071098883

Odd thing is I felt that SDSU's o-line is every bit as good as NDSU's and the Bobcat d-line did really well in that game.

As both your volunteer doctor and lawyer, I advise against jumping from the stands onto the field at the FargoDome. Dome security has been fantasizing about somebody trying this since 1993.

Message to the rest of the FCS:

The Bison are loaded for next year.


Note on the game. I thought with 3 weeks to prepare for A gap power, MSU would have defended it better. Bison OL totally manhandled the Cats front 7. After the Bison's 1st drive, I knew this game was over. Mellotte playing would probably kept the game a little closer but the outcome would have been the same.

Looking forward to finally having a FBS game next fall. My daughter is in Goodyear so making it down to the AZ game will be fun. Bison will bitch slap Arizona next year and it will not surprise me if they favored in that game.

FWIW both Sagarin and Massey would favor NDSU by double digits over Arizona (in Tucson) if this year's respective teams were matching up.

[Hammerhead]

From where we were sitting in the stadium it sounded like the Bobcat fans were louder at the beginning, but that might just be due to their school's allotment being across the field from our seats.

[NDSUtk]

Congratulations to the Bison on another title.

Everyone I met this weekend was nothing but absolutely hospitable and top notch. The tailgate was awesome. Thank you Bisonoline for setting up the dinner! It was great to meet you and your crew and it was a good time. Montana State fans really impressed me as well with their numbers, class, and the fact you guys stayed through that whole game to support your team to the end.

Looking forward to next year.

Also, who came up to me in the tailgate lot yesterday when my buddy said I wasn't JSUSoutherner when you asked? I'm really curious. I wasn't sure why he did that so I just rolled with it. xlolxHey that was me! Sneaky sneaky. Wish you wouldn't have. I try to grab pics with folks from here in Frisco!

Well, I'm sure they will be favored in that game this fall. Bison are going to embarrass Arizona at their place...

Another note to the rest of the FCS: You want to win the Title, play defense. Bison gave up only 19 TDs in 15 games.

Arizona lost to NAU, so the Bison should be favored by triple digits. xcoffeex

[Professor Chaos]

It's games like this that make me feel less bad about 2015.
FWIW I'm of the opinion that the 2015 NDSU team that Jacksonville St faced, the way they played that day, would've beaten any other NDSU title team. That team was a buzzsaw since the defense and run game had rounded into dominant form while Wentz was hurt and then adding Wentz back into that without those other phases of the game losing any potency created a juggernaut.

[ElCid]

I am curious to see how they reset the ratings in the fall. I'm not sure of their precise method for doing so. I will have to record the final ratings to see what the adjustments are once next year's are released. I can see it being predicted closer based on ratings adjustments just from history. But yeah, I'll still take the Bison.

[Bisonator]

Congrats to the Bobcats on a great season!

I was a bit surprised the game wasn't a little better given how MSU handled SDSU. I think the travel finally caught up to the bunnies in that one but the Bobcats deserve credit for the win none the less. Already looking forward to fall camp and next season! Go Bison!!

[AmsterBison]

Odd thing is I felt that SDSU's o-line is every bit as good as NDSU's and the Bobcat d-line did really well in that game.

Two different offensive philosophies? Just watch the first drive of SDSU v Montana State. SDSU's offensive line was getting pushed back from the LOS on almost every designed run.

[Mfergy4]

Finally got back to Fargo, never made it to Frisco, thank you United. Still waiting for my luggage to arrive, it has my laptop in it.
Anyway, to the Bobcats Fans, you had a great season and I believe we will be seeing you again next year. I would have loved to have seen an MSU Offense with Mellot directing it, but yet the limited plays he was in MSU was struggling against the early designs of the Bison defense. Bison D adjusts just kill opposing offenses later in the game. As for the MSU Defense, I do not know what tapes they exchanged but they were not the right ones. MSU defense were making miss reads, allowed TE to cross the the linebackers face with out challenge...just a very poor outing for them. I watched them in the SDSU game and it was a different Defense. It has been a long time since I have seen D-linemen, as a group, driven 3 to 4 yards back from the line of scrimmage on a single play, and if was happening just about every play.
For the Bison, what can I say but when it comes to the play-offs the Bison find another gear of play, and then hit over-drive in Frisco. Impressive.
Frisco - your field has impacted the game every year. This is not play-off caliber grounds keeping for natural turf...time to put in the all-season turf and give the teams a good playing field. This year's "Hockey Rink" caused injuries which were avoidable. Time to put the dough up for a good playing surface or loose the Championship contract.

SDSU, the Rock sure is lonely in the empty case you had built...NDSU is again expanding theirs for their 9'th Natty.

Hey C-hen, until things make it worth a move to the FBS for NDSU we are here to stay, quit xdeadhorsex and improve your program or quit complaining. We are not the issue of poor performances from the East Coast Teams, the bar was challenged when we join the FCS, and now we have raised the bar. Either rise up to the challenge or drop to DII.

Well crap, my weekend didn't go how I wanted it to, but besides the outcome and the unfortunate injury to Tommy, I had a pretty good time. I had a great time meeting really nice people whether it was NDSU faithful or MSU fans I had never met before. Hopefully I'm able to experience that weekend again sooner rather than later. Proper butt kicking by the Bison. On to a healthy spring and good times in the fall.

He's right Carib (not the complaining part). Delaware has absolutely every advantage over NDSU (except tradition now). The school itself, location, facilities etc. and all these resources necessary to get the best coaches and talent have been squandered over the last decade. Hell, UD can't even beat Nova for Christ sake! The decision to hire Carty I support and it appears he understands what the expectations are. Time to get to work!

Sadly, enough room was built into this set of coats to alter so that this may be the last set. But who knows, the wife said she would never make another set after the first 4 were made.

Now that is what good programs (Fans) do, push their teams to be better. In all seriousness, the Eastern Teams used to be the bar to be measured by, but someone fell asleep at the wheel, and the quality bus went off the road, or they were able to move up to the FBS Level (G-Southern, Coastal C, Appalachia and JMU). I know C-Hen you are not really the complainer, but there are lots of Eastern Team's Fans who are and are uniformed about how moves to FBS work. Instead of pushing their teams to better themselves to meet the challengers they rather bitch. Yes, it is really hard to recruit out East, lots of competition for players, but a start at being consistently in the FCS plays-off will help and winning a Natty, (and yes, we Bison would really love to see that to happen) helps out too. When other teams start challenging and beating the Bison in Frisco, then maybe our fans will stop being bored during the season and come back to to the dome. Lets face it, the Bison are good, but we Bison Fans really want the whole FCS to be good as well, as it fosters better yearly competition, great rivalries, and better dollars for everyone's sports programs. Positive Name recognition is a key to good recruiting.

Lots of truth here but it’s just not the East coast bitchin about the Bison, it’s pretty much a common denominator with FCS fans. Honestly, I kind of enjoyed your beat down of Montana State.

The Bison can absolutely be beat. Lost 3 games in the spring, SDSU beat us again this fall. JMU plays us tough every time. Develop a good run defense and you will always have a chance against NDSU.

It’s very refreshing to be rid of Rip Van Rocco and his snoozer Saturday’s

Ryan Carty has come in talking about winning and playing to win instead of playing not to lose

He has assembled a very impressive coaching staff and I say that full well knowing it’s about players

He is at least in the transfer portal something that Rocco thought was a ride at Hershey Park

Delaware is void of top notch talent, we have some good players just not enough of em. Rocco’s recruits left a lot to be desired. He actually inherited 3 future NFL players in 2017 but forgot he still needed to score points

Carty is not going to forget
