Info on SDSU?

[AjaxTheMighty]

What is the scouting report on SDSU? I haven't paid much attention to them, except they gave Nebraska a run for their money. Anyone have the dirt?

[HandoEX]

They have won once in Fargo in 50 years. They have beat one team that NDSU lost to (WIU) and lost to one team that NDSU has beaten (ISUb). Both have beaten SIU and YSU and both have lost to ISUr and UNI. They've been outscored 201 to 189 on the season.

Their QB is the key. SDSU is 4-0 when he does not throw an interception. They're 0-5 when he throws a pick. Get to the QB and the Bison win. It's that simple.

Oh Lakes, you are a funny guy...

[AjaxTheMighty]

Thanks. The Bison need the defense to step up huge. Mohler not seeing the field at all will help and Vigen getting kidnapped by certain Bisonville faithful may well be the key to winning. I hope the crowd is loud and the dome is filled, because last week, well, that was embarrassing. We need to beat these bunnies badly. I also hope tailgating is like it has been all season. Man has it been awesome. GO BISON!

[ndsubison1]

They have scored 30+ pts the past five games. But, they are not as good on the road as they are at home. You can throw out the records and stats for this one folks. It's a rivalry game and the Bunnies always seem to get up for the Bison. They are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. This is their big game.

[MN_BISON]

Well let's see, they are known to like to hunt and fish and according to their homer scribe they do things the right way. They really like to get to know a recruit unlike any other program in the country, this is unique to the SDSU program, they actually go to his house if you can believe it and get this, they watch him play football and maybe even another sport. I'll tell ya man, these Jackbunnies are on top of things and Stiggy makes Nick Sabin look like a Canadian jr. high football coach. On Saturday night when most collge kids are out tipping back a few and chasing poon, the young men of SDSU can be found at the local church reading scripture to the homeless. Their fan base is said to be all class, they never do or say anything wrong and they have never and I mean never said a word during the national anthem, one must keep 100% quite and for the love of Stiggy never say the word Bison at the end of our nation's song or they will lose it.

[lakesbison]

Don't forget, some players father said "their program reminds me of boise state" wow

I love the home of the BISON. Esp when the student section is full, it sounds awesome. They can hate on us and say its disrespectful, blah, blah,blah, blah, blah. I think it sounds cool.

The Jacks are certainly going to bring their A game this Sat. to FGO... They seem to have our number lately and they are better than their record shows plus they are on a hot streak which means we need a 'fast start', another good defensive effort and plusses in the turnover category... Obrien the qb is a sr. I believe and so it thier RB Minnett who is one tough cookie... Come on HERD get up for this huge game... WE OWE EM ONE AND ITS FOR THE MARKER!

You can't just key on Faulk though, Lakes. Otherwise Dan McGwire will kill you through the air. And at 6'8" 240, he's gonna be tough to bring down.

They have a very good running back in Kyle Minnet. 1133 yards in 8 games. average of 5.2 yards a carry and 10 TD's. Pinnet's going to get his 100 yards. Delaware was the only team that shut him down. 14 carries/34 yards.

OK it is Bison week so I had to come over and see what Lakes had to say, and I find him ripping Minett, seemingly going after his intelligence (not that there is anything wrong with selling cars). Interesting, Mr. Minett seems to be a pretty smart guy. Lakes may want to be careful, he could be working for him one day.

Somebody has to say it.

I expect a whale of a game!

Somebody nailed it above. Controlling the pics from O'Brien is huge. Also, SDSU has been inconsistent on defense. At times great, at times below average.

They seem to rise up for the big games and this is the biggest one left on the schedule. The Bison will get the Jacks best game this weekend and they aren't afraid of the Bison or the Buffalo Chip Dome.

Good luck to both!

Gotta say though, a flyover with P-51s would be AWESOME. I was biking across that 12th avenue overpass during an air show years ago and a P-51 buzzed over the overpass and it was about the most glorious (and scary) sound I've ever heard. It sounded like God's Harley-Davidson.

After listening to people last week after the game I have to agree with this statement. "There should be no need for motavation. After last years loss, Seniors last reguluar season home game, and the oppertunity to make the playoffs. These boys will be fired up to go.

15 seniors... I can just about the words that will come out of Gatlin, Phillips, Vandal, Ardnt, Anderson and Gratzek. I know I will not have a oice by the end of the introductions. What a great group of seniors and what a way to end their regular season home games.

[Bison"FANatic"]

I know I will not have a oice by the end of the introductions.

It may be shorter than you think.

[Scooter1]

There is a big difference in the team from last year and the team this year.

The team this year expects to win ball games.

Now, I wish we could get some of the Bison faithful to stop masterbating over SDSU's football program. They can brag all they want, but when is the last time they had more than 8 wins in a season? NDSU expects to get 8 wins every season...or at least the NDSU I remember. The reality is we were out recruited by SDSU for two years in a row. However, I think that SDSU is looking at the young guys we have right now who are major contributers and they know full well that NDSU (especially the defense) is set for the next 3 to four years. An incoming freshman on defense is going to have to be the second comming of Christ to break the starting lineup next year. Or, back up for that matter. NDSU football is back. They know it. I just wish some of you guys would take off the granny panties.

If you disagree, make sure you adjust your granny panties before you post.;)

This year they didn't. If we get 8 wins, it will go beyond even the AD's expectations, but "if" is still in the air and up for grabs. I saw some good things last week, at least on D, that I have not seen all year. Now we need both the D and O to both have solid game, along with ST's, and we win--SDSU would not be able to handle us at our best in all three phases, even if they play their best in all three as well.

The defense looks like it is playing fast...such an improvement over last year. Colton Heagle has been all around the ball since inserted into the line up. Him and Eaves make a pretty damn good pair. I would probably nominate Eaves as the surprise of the season on defense.

[ndsubison1]

Eaves is easily the most improved player. Especially on defense.

[westnodak93bison]

Agree, if we play well in all 3 phases we can hang with pretty much anybody in the FCS imho.

[jackrabbit1979]

TOB is not a mobile QB, about the first one we've faced all season (or so it seems). Minett is not a factor in the passing game. Our defense murders traditional offenses.

We got this.

Minett has as many catches as any player on your team. Hard to say he is a non-factor in the passing game.

[CaBisonFan]

The info is sketchy from what I've read.

In the past few years they have known our playbook. They bring the house and hope that we'll make a mistake or two. Their goal is to beat up on, or hurt, our qb. The openings are down the middle of the field in the passing game. SDSU loves it when we play the short corner routes.

This game is about North Dakota State. If we control the ball and don't panic...advantage Bison. If we continue to give SDSU early Christmas presents (see past 3 games)...advantage Jackwabbits. It's that simple. Ball control. But that's pretty much the story of the whole conference.

Ball control + Solid defense = W

That could be said for any team in any game. Somebody mentioned controlling Minette is the key. Nobody has stopped him including Big Red. He's going to get his. Indeed if you stop him it bodes really well for the Bison.

For me, the game boils down to which Jackrabbit defensive team shows up. The one that played well like at Nebraska or the one that went Indiana State.

I think this is going to be a great game. Turnovers and specail teams will play a big part and they are an advantage for the Jacks IMHO.

Good luck tomorrow!

[Scooter1]

OK so here are my thought on this game.

1. SDSU has had some good fortune the past three games against NDSU. The biggest factor last year being the suspension of Pat Paschall. As of 12:00 today, it appears that Patty V has decided to sit this one out, so SDSU can't count on a last minute intervention...or can they?

2. The Bison Offense is a question mark. They have been for quite some time. Just how is Jesse Hinz going to respond at center? I have to say that I am impressed that Jesse is so highly thought of in the NDSU coaching circle that Bohl can leave Richard at the guard position.

3. Brock Jensen. If he is good to go, I say play him. He seams to see the field better than Mohler and doesn't throw the INT or fumble as often as Mohler. SDSU has capitalized on our turnovers and we need to limit them in this game. Brock will help limit these turnovers. They are saying that when the SDSU quarterback has a good game they win...the difference is that NDSU has been winning some times in spite of the QB play. (just something to think about)

4. Matt Veldman? I forget who this kid is...talk about unrealized potential due to injury.

5. Finally a healthy defense secondary to play SDSU. There is NO comparison between the defense from last year and the guys we have right now. Last year we had three linebackers and no other options. This year we have Anderson, Evans, Jemmison, Willson, and Olson all ready to go. The defensive secondary is better with Heagle, Eaves, Pike, Lemon, Gatlin, Williams, Banks, Colvin and possibly Pierre. Heagle has impressed the hell out of me and Eaves is no doubt the most improved player on the field to the point where he has to be getting consideration for post season recognition.

6. SDSU has not allowed many sacks this year. But the haven't sacked many opponents either. They live off a steady diet of Minette. How do you stop SDSU...shut down or limit Kyle Minette. They say no one has stopped him yet this year....well, they are 4-5 (just saying)

7. Last year they shut down DJ McNorton. If they do it again, SDSU will win this game. My money is on DJ. I think the strides this kid has taken over the last year is remarkable.

8. SIU game. Both NDSU and SDSU won the SIU game in the same fashion. In the SDSU game, SIU was driving in for a score and a pick 6 completely changed the tone of the game. SIU was driving the ball then got smacked in the mouth with an INT for a TD. SDSU scored again to make it 14-0 and SIU never recovered. Against NDSU, SIU came out and shut the Bison down in the first drive. The Bison defense came out and smacked them in the mouth shutting them down. As soon as NDSU blocked the punt for the TD it was over. In fact, they only had three drives past the bison 40.

9. This will not be a typical SDSU game. Both NDSU and SDSU are struggling to score points. Defense is keeping both teams in the games. The difference is the results. NDSU is 6-3 and SDSU is 4-5.

10. This game is being played at the Fargodome advantage Bison.

But that crap wasn't about a rivalry, was it? It was just more freaking Lakesbison drama-queenery - something he better stop right now, forever.

What???? Or he joins being banned at SDSUfans, AGS, SS????? Tony, make my day!!!! ;)

[Theee Catrabbit]

Yeah you guys have murdered our "traditional offense" for the last three years. Wait a minute........

I was thinking it too.....

[bisonmike2]

OK so here are my thought on this game.

1. SDSU has had some good fortune the past three games against NDSU. The biggest factor last year being the suspension of Pat Paschall. As of 12:00 today, it appears that Patty V has decided to sit this one out, so SDSU can't count on a last minute intervention...or can they?

2. The Bison Offense is a question mark. They have been for quite some time. Just how is Jesse Hinz going to respond at center? I have to say that I am impressed that Jesse is so highly thought of in the NDSU coaching circle that Bohl can leave Richard at the guard position.

3. Brock Jensen. If he is good to go, I say play him. He seams to see the field better than Mohler and doesn't throw the INT or fumble as often as Mohler. SDSU has capitalized on our turnovers and we need to limit them in this game. Brock will help limit these turnovers. They are saying that when the SDSU quarterback has a good game they win...the difference is that NDSU has been winning some times in spite of the QB play. (just something to think about)

4. Matt Veldman? I forget who this kid is...talk about unrealized potential due to injury.

5. Finally a healthy defense secondary to play SDSU. There is NO comparison between the defense from last year and the guys we have right now. Last year we had three linebackers and no other options. This year we have Anderson, Evans, Jemmison, Willson, and Olson all ready to go. The defensive secondary is better with Heagle, Eaves, Pike, Lemon, Gatlin, Williams, Banks, Colvin and possibly Pierre. Heagle has impressed the hell out of me and Eaves is no doubt the most improved player on the field to the point where he has to be getting consideration for post season recognition.

6. SDSU has not allowed many sacks this year. But the haven't sacked many opponents either. They live off a steady diet of Minette. How do you stop SDSU...shut down or limit Kyle Minette. They say no one has stopped him yet this year....well, they are 4-5 (just saying)

7. Last year they shut down DJ McNorton. If they do it again, SDSU will win this game. My money is on DJ. I think the strides this kid has taken over the last year is remarkable.

8. SIU game. Both NDSU and SDSU won the SIU game in the same fashion. In the SDSU game, SIU was driving in for a score and a pick 6 completely changed the tone of the game. SIU was driving the ball then got smacked in the mouth with an INT for a TD. SDSU scored again to make it 14-0 and SIU never recovered. Against NDSU, SIU came out and shut the Bison down in the first drive. The Bison defense came out and smacked them in the mouth shutting them down. As soon as NDSU blocked the punt for the TD it was over. In fact, they only had three drives past the bison 40.

9. This will not be a typical SDSU game. Both NDSU and SDSU are struggling to score points. Defense is keeping both teams in the games. The difference is the results. NDSU is 6-3 and SDSU is 4-5.

Nice post. Great insight with minimal bias. Not sure this belongs on Bisonville. :) In regards to point 1. Patty V hasn't made her decision, but just wait. If we are fortunate enough to win the game tomorrow, she'll rule on Monday that Perry was ineligible and shouldn't have been allowed to play.

[BisonNeil]

They have a very good running back in Kyle Minnet. 1133 yards in 8 games. average of 5.2 yards a carry and 10 TD's. Pinnet's going to get his 100 yards. Delaware was the only team that shut him down. 14 carries/34 yards.

I think the key to the game is shutting him down. He has had good games against us and we have to make them one dimensional, just like we are :(

A good analysis Scooter, very good.

Not sure I can agree with #7 though. The Bison have struggled to stop the run at times and have had significant difficulties with Minett. His running style gives the NDSU defense fits.

And while I agree with your comments about DJ, I am personally not impressed with the Bison OL. They have really struggled this year with physical defensive lines and they get really lazy with their pad level despite Fuchs chewing their ass about it on a regular basis on the sideline. They have also struggled with pass protection. Having a true freshman at center is not going to do much to improve this situation.

My point is this, DJ is only as good as the line in front of him and they played very poorly against SIU. Two tries in the second half to get a first down with 6" to go failed. You need no further proof that this will be a struggle for the Bison offense.

[BisonNeil]

That could be said for any team in any game. Somebody mentioned controlling Minette is the key. Nobody has stopped him including Big Red. He's going to get his. Indeed if you stop him it bodes really well for the Bison.

For me, the game boils down to which Jackrabbit defensive team shows up. The one that played well like at Nebraska or the one that went Indiana State.

I think this is going to be a great game. Turnovers and specail teams will play a big part and they are an advantage for the Jacks IMHO.

Good luck tomorrow!

SUPERBUNNY

Not true, Delaware stopped him. NDSU needs to do the same.

[DjKyRo]

My prediction: 28-17 NDSU!

[AjaxTheMighty]

What is unbelievable is the fact that this game IS going to be tough. Proof that we have taken a bit of a tumble in recent years. Fallen down to SDSU's level. We have stomped on this program and eaten their lunch since the dawn of time and here we are talkin' about them like they are a bit of something. It's SDSU. They can't compete long term with this team. They can get lucky from time to time and get a good recruiting class. They are living on it now. They will be on life support next year. They can't compete with our facilities, our money, our tradition (8 trophies), and our fan support. I was at Mount Rushmore this summer. My son and I saw 6 Bison shirts, 2 Fighting Sioux shirts, and a smattering of other random universities, including a USD sweatshirt. Not one Bunny. Not one! SAD. SAD. SAD. Sorry, I'm not going to respect this team or this pretender program. They beat us 3 in a row...lucky them. They may win tomorrow. I hope not, but it doesn't matter. They will end up back where they came from, stuck in the corn, championshipless, middling in FCS football the rest of their days. Coming to Fargo every other year and eating a 56-10 loss. Like every single year they played us in the "good ol' days". :hungry:

Ummm...this isn't the 1980's anymore, nor the 1990's for that matter. Good Grief.

[met1990]

Ummm...this isn't the 1980's anymore, nor the 1990's for that matter. Good Grief.

It's tough to tell. NDSU is fighting for the playoffs and SDSU is sub-.500. ;)

[Scooter1]

Ummm...this isn't the 1980's anymore, nor the 1990's for that matter. Good Grief.

Ummm...you are aware that you only won 65 games from 2000-2009 right? :blush: :blush: :blush:

I know that is a big deal for you cause it's more than you have won in a decade for a long, long time if ever, but NDSU won 73 in that decade and that is sub par for the Bison....(just sayin') ;) ;) ;)

Also NDSU had 5 seasons with 8 or more wins in that decade...you had one. :blush: :blush: :blush:
