Tell me about the Bison

[LynchMob42]

What are this team's relative strengths and weaknesses?

Who's a standout player in each pause of the game?

How would you describe the offensive and defensive identity and scheme?

[MNLonghorn10]

defense. running offense. running qb. weakness is passing game wont cause anyone to not sleep

marcus williams(AA cb)/grant olson(stud lb)/cole jiric(stud DE) then Brock Jensen(QB), Ryan Smith(WR/PR), rb's Ojuri & Crockett are a solid duo...ST's has dangerous returners in Williiams and Smith...Kicking game is good for their first season last year.

this team usually throws the books when it comes playing the FBS teams on defense but take a more conservative approach on offense...ones that wont lose the game for ya. against weaker opponents we see the trick plays when no one expects. defense just dominates so they dont need to be specific heros.

Strength. Overall defense and ball control offense. Weakness. Hard to say definitive weakness but the passing game could be more consistent. Standout players. Not many were just a good team full of good players across the board. Scheme. West coast power running. Defense. Old school Dungy Tampa 2

What are this team's relative strengths and weaknesses?

Who's a standout player in each pause of the game?

How would you describe the offensive and defensive identity and scheme?

Strength: Without a doubt the defense. Weakness: our offense; more specifically, our passing game. It has been inconsistent.

Standout players on offense: QB, Jensen. Although, he can be an inconsistent passer from game to game, he is a seasoned leader who knows how to win games, especially big ones. Both our running backs (Ojuri and Crocket) are very good. Ryan Smith at receiver. The entire O line is big and physical.

Standout players on defense: really the entire D is very good. Very quick, athletic, and sure tacklers. Our whole D line is very good. Perry and Jirik stand out, but the other two are very good in their own right. Perry will be out for this game and will be missed big time. Could be a difference maker. The entire LB core is stacked. Olson, Beck, and Littlejohn. They are a little undersized, but are very quick, athletic, and tough when healthy. The secondary is also very athletic as well. Good coverage guys and big hitters. Our SS, Colten Heagle, is probably the biggest hitter on the team. He missed most of the entire season last year due to a knee injury. Marcus Williams is a great corner. Usually comes up with a pick on D and is a weapon on Special Teams.

On offense we run the power west coast offensive, which means we rely on a power running game with pass plays sprinkled in to keep the opposing D honest. We rely on our big O line to control the LOS/clock and pound the ball between the tackles. Actually we run a very balanced attack as the stats show we pass almost as much as we run the ball, but our strength is the ground game. As mentioned earlier, our QB has been inconsistent from game to game with his passing. When he is on, our offense is very potent. When he is off, it can be devastating to our team. The good news for the Bison is that Jensen is usually very good early in the year and in the biggest games of the year. For us, the KSU game fits both of these descriptions. Ball control, TOP, and no turnovers. That is the MO of our offense. No quick strike here.

On defense we run the Tampa 2. Our entire D is a little undersized, but quick and athletic. They close the gaps quickly and always have a swarm of tacklers around the ball. Our D does give up yards between the 20's, but gets very stingy in the red zone where we often come up with a turnover. We were the number 1 D in FCS last year for both yards and points allowed.

I said it many times here before, I think the key to victory for the Bison is if our O can play its game. If we can play Bison football, control the LOS, chew up the clock, don't turn the ball over, and put points on the board, I feel we will win the game. I have every bit of confidence in our D to be able to contain KSU's O. Don't misconstrue this to mean shut you down, because I believe you will get your yards. But, I believe our D will be able to limit your offensive momentum enough to stall out drives, limit points, and possibly get a turnover or two. It will be up to our O to take advantage of the opportunities that our D will give them. If they can successfully do that, than I think we have a very good chance of winning the game. If our O can't take advantage of the opportunities our D gives them, then eventually your O will wear down our D and it will be over for the Bison.

I applaud your effort to start a thread on real football discussion. I hope it stays smack free for at least a day. I have my doubts.

I think this will be a good game. I think you will be impressed with our team.

When you say power running, do you mean behind a fullback/h-back? Multiple tight ends? Pulling guards?

Do you feel NDSU's ability to overpower opponents is predicated on being bigger and stronger than most subdivision opponents? And might that advantage be diminished against upper FBS opponents?

When you say running QB, do you mean a true qb run game, or a guy who scrambles and keeps plays alive in the passing game?

Yes, a west coast offense is predicated on having a fullback.

Not sure we overpower opponents in the sense that our OL is bigger and stronger. They are very well conditioned and that stamina has the Bison taking over games in the second half.

The offense does have QB runs that are called every so often, but we are talking only 7 times a game, or less. (Official stats say Brock carried the ball 111 times last year over 15 games, but those include sacks in addition to actual called QB keepers). Brock is a very strong runner and has suprising speed. He is not much of a scrambler when the pocket collapses, which it can do because he has a tendency to hold on to the ball too long (our WRs struggle to get open at times and are a weakness on the team, IMO) and chooses not to throw it away.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Not exactly. Conditioning and fulfilling assignments are a larger part of NDSU's success over being bigger/stronger. There are plenty of big/strong players at the FCS level, especially in NDSU's conference.

Some true QB run game, at least to make teams respect the threat. Difficult to say what the playbook will look like this year as there's always some new wrinkles thrown in. With the closed practices this year there might be some major wrinkles.

When you say Tampa 2, I think of regularly having safeties in deep-half zones. Is this generally the case? From other threads I would have guessed that your hard-hitting SS would be brought toward the line often.

Your confusing the cover 2 coverage scheme with the Tampa 2

[LITTLEGUYSINGREEN]

We show multiple looks out of the base Tampa 2. Yes, we do blitz a lot on our defense and the SS is a part of that, as well as the LB's and corners. I'm not an expert at the defense we run so I'm not to sure how the rest of the defense shifts when we blitz, but we rarely get burned when we blitz. BisonNeal is more of the X's and O's guy, so he might be able to fill you in.

Because the Bison play subdivision football? Is that NAIA or something? We play in subdivision, and you play in the upper level of FBS?

It might require that you look down from your lofty perch and think on this one, but we play in DI FCS, and you play in DI FBS . . . and "both" are subdidivsions of DI. Is that a clear concept for you, or does NDSU just play in "subdivision"?

Speaking as an SIU fan who has been frustrated by them more than once I would say their identity is team football. Excellent fundamentals, very good open field tackling, a team that hangs around and doesn't panic. Their offense isn't as good as their defense, but their defense gives their offense good field position. Their QB is a winner, their RBs are above average but look better because of their o line. Outstanding coaching especially on choosing the right time to run the one trick play they use in a game and that always works. Great special teams. One of those teams that you know you're as good as and know you can beat, but don't seem to pull it off. Two years ago we held them without a first down until the end of the third qtr. and still lost, although ppart of that was that we have the shittiest offense in the MVC right now. A textbook case of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.

Our o line is big but they have done well vs bigger defensive lines. On paper your dline didn't strike me as being overly huge.. actually the DEs seemed to be undersized
You guys seem to be more about quickness

Yeah.... The root of the name Tampa 2, is it's base cover 2 defense. Obviously any base defense allows for variations, switches in responsibilities, and blitzes.

Sorry, I think I quoted the wrong poster.....Meant to quote gabe.

It's assignment football. Do your job because the guy next to, in front of, and behind you is doing their's. Everyone buys in and no one person is bigger than the whole. This team is the definition of team football. You can scheme it, dissect it, and analyze it all you want, but that's the Bison way. Everyone has a job to do and it gets done.

I don't understand outsiders who come here to start several threads. If I visit another team's board, I typically go there to 'read' what they are saying. I see no point in doing what you do. A small involvement is welcome if it's tactful...but a handful of outsiders trying to dominate our board invites smack...not real discussions. To expect otherwise is stupid.

What's funny about that statement is that cas probably understands the game better than most here. He's not only a student of the game but also a former player from our 80's championship teams. I wouldn't discount his knowledge. Now, it's possible he doesn't feel that you are worth discussing this with (if that's the case that is between you and him, I consider him a friend but I have no animosity towards you).

Who is the best player during a timeout when the game is paused?

I have always wondered this. It used to be the third string kicker warming up with no chance in hell of ever playing. Kind of like getting his bullpen work in.

Yeah but was he the best player during each pause is his question. Sometimes there are in game pauses, sometimes team timeout pauses and sometimes there are injury pauses. To say the third string kicker is the best during each of those pauses is kind of crazy. but you may be right. let's all pause to think about it

when the game is :facepalm2: pawsed :rofl: the 12 man is the most important.....DUH

These are the responses I expected. I read several comments asking for K-State fans to discuss football and drop all the ancillary stuff. So, I created a thread to talk about football, and just football.

I'm fairly certain that the NDSU fanbase is made up of good, midwestern, hard-working people, who love football and love their team.
It sounds like CAS may know a great deal about the game, but still doesn't want to share that knowledge. And then there are jacka$$es like Sams and Longhorn who are only interested in being jacka$$es..... and, by the way, you're doing a fine job of it.

how the hell was I being a jackass...I answered your questions the second post in this thread.

[houndawg]

It blows my mind how people cry so much. Seriously, go create a ndsu themed name and go post this same type of thread at GoEMAN or ManWOW or whatever that site is called. title it Tell me about the Wildcats, ask them which pause they are most successful at and see what your responses will be. Shit do that with any team page that has a strong fanbase. You will get treated like a gimp because to think none of this has ever been talked about is straight stupidity and laziness. If I want info on KSate I will go find Info on KState.

I dont give a crap what you think about your D-ends, I will do my own research and realize you are thin and will probably pull Wood's redshirt. I dont need you to tell me Lockett and Thompson are two the best returners in all for college football. I'll watch the videos of them myself. You will never hear me ask you about your offensive line because I know how impressive they are and are lead by a walk on at center and all 5 started last year. Its called doing research for yourself and if you want to chime in on a thread that has already been started discussing the same things, well good for you. But this incessant thread starting by the KSU fans just so they can feel important for 5 minutes out of their day is annoying

Could you tell more about why you think these two are better for college football than other returners?

what wildcats are good during pauses?

You claim you started this thread it to talk football nothing in this post is talking about football. Quite ironic don't you think

Oh, and as a start, we will win this game.


CAS, I'm looking for a reason to care about this game. Straight up bet?


Seems like a pretty easy question, CAS.

You couldn't even backpedal like that back in your playing days.

[BisonFan02]

Judging by the success of the un_ in those days, I don't think he had to worry too much about anything that wasn't in front of him...if the play even made it to the second level :D

No real Bison fan, or former player, believes in moral victories. We don't need to. Losers need moral victories.

Sick of the k-st threads. Can't believe how many trolls have come here to ask stupid questions. Yir in the bunch.

Read our threads to find out what you need to know.

I've gone to your forums...and I wouldn't waste 5 minutes signing up and posting.

Looked at forecast on weather.com calling for 99 high. NOAA is calling for 98. Didn't check humidity forecast. Low temps for Friday night and Saturday morning is low to mid 70s.

And we always thought the Fargodome provided protection against below zero temperatures on game days. The A/C would feel good this week!

We're screwed, forfeit now, save travel expenses. :facepalm:

[1998braves64]

Was just update.. I have no concerns that Bohl and staff will be prepared for the weather for the most part heat is very controllable by staff.. And our players have played in heat most likely at some point in their lives.

So, what should the criteria be for posters of other schools? Just curious. Should they just not come on here? "What blows my mind" is how you get worked up at all about stuff posted (in repeat or not).......on a message board. Its a message board. I can see getting worked up in a political debate, or a tug-of-war, or something like that. But a message board? It is difficult to fathom ANYONE getting worked up, other than personal attacks, on a message board, but yet somehow you find a way. You're not alone though so you have that anyway.
