For some reason - I can't explain it - my blood just started to boil over this one.

JBB, I don't know if you fully grasp the concept of how difficult it is for an FCS team to go in and beat a TOP 15 ranked FBS team.

Please don't refer to that other Iowa school in Iowa City as a legitimate top 15 team. If we are making comparisons on "who have you beat", we can throw the Hawkeyes in there too (don't point to Penn State as a great team).

UNI will go north and take out NDSU by at least 20, but it will not be a blowout. Hard to demolish a decent team on their home field.

Re: Next up: North Dakota State Bizon

about what?

The fact that they're up there, and deserve to have their facemasks shoved up their collective asses.

Re: Next up: North Dakota State Bizon

Ps. ISU had a tough time against Iowa because the week before the Cyclones had the stuffing knocked out of them by The BISON. They have recovered now and are doing well.

Do you think he honestly believes this?

HAHAHA


This is what NDSU players were given when they looked at the match up for this week.






Why were they given duct tape, because this is what the scouting report said.

Sure they have a good passing attack. It is better than the record shows our defense to be. We cant change anything about them.

We have to:

1) Catch everything we touch
2) No Penalties
3) No turnovers

With that we win. With that we are undefeated. If we were undefeated I think we would still be the underdog. I dont think Ive ever said they werent the favorite and a top notch team.

They will score their 35 pts. What we need to do is stop them from getting 38 or even holding them to 28. That would be an outstanding day for The BISON.

Things in our favor:

1) Reserves are getting much needed experience
2) The cronic problems we see on defense can be in part mitigated through coaching. Im hoping we can make some corrections. If we can improve in the margins, that means hold them to a 50% 3 down conversion or less (we held SIU 3-12), that will keep us in the game.

We need an exceptional offensive performance, better than our average game. Every team has games where they play well and win. At times NDSU has played well enough to play with anybody. In fact, they have hung with everybody and should have won them all.

If our offense can get 3rd down conversions up to 50% they will score at least 24 pts. They need to finish drives. We were 5-16 against SIU. Ill take 16 third downs any day, but I would like to see 8 first downs come from that. Thats a very important stat. It means time of possession, which means ongoing opportunity for the offense. You can do a lot with 9 more scoring downs and 3 more FG opportunities.

Re: Next up: North Dakota State Bizon

At lease he presents a reasoned analysis of what he thinks they need to do to win. Can't say the same for most of our childish postings.

[joecooll6]

Re: Next up: North Dakota State Bizon

I think thats a pretty fair analysis. That poster is basically saying they need to play much better than they have been playing, play their best game of the year, a near perfect game to have a chance to win. I think thats more than fair.

A lot of bison fans are telling the world we cant win this game. Its the coach, its the players (rarely is a name mentioned if it isnt Mertens) and its the program.

Some would fire all the coaches, they have the evidence to prove its the right move, and they would start back at square 1.

Others would change QBs. Thats the only reason we arent the best team.

Some of us realize we have the team we do. Record: not good, team looking better than record.

What do WE need to do to win this game.

Writing it off like we have no chance is simply short sighted, and frankly very un-BISON like. Sure we are the under-dogs, sure they have the all-time record in their favor, but this is college football and We are North Dakota State.

It's simply a question of BISON LORE!

Of course you're not going to roll over. You can't. It's impossible to roll over when you've already been shot dead.

You people are like the first German shot dead on the beach at Normandy. Congrats, you're already dead, and the the strongest army in history is just about to land and run your a-- over. Again and again.

Yeah, D-Day was standing room only and loud too. The result: A bunch of dead home-teamers.

Seriously. We're going to have you folks walking around with your finger in our belt loop, calling us "daddy" by about 4:00 on Saturday.

Re: Next up: North Dakota State Bizon

You probably wont see me until Sunday, but Ill be here to recap the game for you guys win or lose.

Ps. ISU had a tough time against Iowa because the week before the Cyclones had the stuffing knocked out of them by The BISON. They have recovered now and are doing well.

It's nice to have confidence that you would win, but the one thing you have't noticed about our victories and our near one is that we control the line of scrimmage. farley has done a remarkable job recruiting individuals every year who are a little bit bigger and a little bit stronger and able to win that battle. When we lost to Iowa in the past, it was because we no matter what we did we couldn't hold on the offense for more then 1 second and our defense let them play on our side of the L.O.L. Unless Coach Bohl comes up with a plan to outmuscle us or keep our line confused no matter how good you start out or hang with us the outcome will be inevitable. Kind of like those FBS games FCA teams play, but everyone watching sees the 1AA team slowly losing the battle every down that passes.
