Crazy Statistics

[BlueHawkAlumni]

Since 2000

NDSU has had:

7 rushers go for over 1000 yards. Some WELL over.

12 of 15 seasons had rushers top 1k.

3 seasons had mutual backs go over 1k.
-McNorton/Ojuri '11
-Ojuri/Crockett '12
-Ojuri/Crockett '13

And in 2013 the team rushed for over 4000. (unbelievable statistic)

These stats reek of tradition. Just think we could have had a 2000 yard rusher in there last season too.

This is for sure amazing.....

[SoCalBison]

58-3. Now THAT'S crazy!

[BisoninNWMN]

2 - 1000 yard rushers this year?

[BlueHawkAlumni]

2 - 1000 yard rushers this year?
No, Crockett was the only this year?

[td577]

58-3. Now THAT'S crazy!

30-1 against ranked teams. That's pretty crazy too!

[Vet70]

Another crazy statistic---Four straight FCS National Championships---one more than the total number of loses.

[td577]

Zero non-conference losses since ewu. One road loss. Zero wins by a Zenner.

This does not resonate.. Its just that hard to comprehend.
We as fans, are a spoiled lot for sure.

All that is about to end. Haven't you heard? Losing Crockett will be too much for the offense to handle and they will struggle to replace him. I bet we would be lucky to get a 500 yard rusher this season......

It might be 6 of them, but it will only be 500 at a time, lol.

Yeah that will be after the first game, by the third game of the season will will have a 1000 yard rusher.

[Hammerhead]

Since 2004, we have averaged fewer than 3 losses per season -- not bad considering the dire warnings we heard from up north about languishing in mediocrity if we moved up. :)

Are there any other teams in football that are close to this?

[BlueHawkAlumni]

3 MVFC running backs went pro this year.

[NDSU1980]

All these things from the past are fine, but start a new year and past glory is no guarantee of future success.Heck, with no defense, we'll be lucky to win more than one game.

[tony]

Doesn't look like I have an updated database on my tablet. I'm pretty sure that Montana is the only FCS school close to NDSU in that time frame (i.e. the 11 seasons from 2004-2014.)

I think NDSU is 111-30. Montana is 113-34.

In D3, Mt. Union and Whitewater average about 1 loss per year.

[Vet70]

You want some defensive stats? Can't win four in a row without a little defense. Scoring Defense:

Year--Total Points--Average Per Game--Rank in Valley--National Rank

2011 191 12.7 1 2*
2012 173 11.5 1 1*
2013 169 11.3 1 1
2014 225 14.1 1 3

*Through regular season

Dang that lousy 2014 defense.

[BisonFanAnn]

Not a statistic, but something worth noting: when Bison football players made the news, it was for good things they did, not stupid things.

Bison Pride carries off the field and out of the locker room, into the community.

Are you sure you don't mean Steffes? Roehl? McNorton? Paschall? Ojuri?

I wonder if we'll ever see a better defense than the 2013 NDSU defense?

[tjbison]

the best I have ever witnessed, never doubted a minute when they were on the field

truly fun to watch that team, playoff games were not even close

Yeah, a thing of beauty for sure. To me much more impressive than a high flying spread offense.

[IzzyFlexion]

Great thread.......................

8-3 vs FBS (Mr. obvious)

CUMULATIVE SCORE FOR THOSE 11 GAMES:

Bison-262.

FBS opponents-188.

262-188!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and yeah........that's 17ppg against our tiny little men in green.<drops mic............walks off stage>

[BisonNeil]

I don't know. It seems improbable to me that we won't have a RB rush for more than 125 Zenners.

[BlueHawkAlumni]

Way more excited to watch bison defense than offense... I like defense in all sports... much harder to have an impenetrable defense than offense in any sport... reactionary vs proactionary ya know

We had over 4000 rushing yards that season because we beat our teams by an average of 20+ points a game.

[BlueHawkAlumni]

So a lot of teams must achieve that many rushing yards in a season then? That number is huge even if you rationalize it .

Technically, along with Vraa, every player that reshirted in 2011 in playing for their 5th title. They can all claim part of that 2011 title as they were on the prep team getting the starters prepared every week. I also believe they all have rings from 2011 as well...correct? So what players besides Wentz reshirted their freshman year and are still here?

this class could graduate with never having missed a NC game....unreal...just think they have been part of 16 post season games and the preparation, thats a whole season worth of practice and learning the game, its priceless experience

So I'm at the ND State High School Track & Field Meet today and decided to do an unofficial observation. I counted 38 people wearing NDSU gear before noticing the first UN_ gear which was a hockey shirt dude sporting a mullet. Lmao. Saw 3 total sewage wearing losers compared to countless people wearing the colors of champions. Go Bison!

WE ARE NORTH DAKOTA STATE, everybody else deal with it i

[bisonridge]

And Bismarck is a UN_ town. LOL

The track meet was from schools all around ND, so the people there were also from all around ND so it's not really a good example of Bismarck people. Although I will say I am starting to see more Bison apparel every year here in Bismarck.

[SDbison]

Not counting the three declared football national championships in the 1960's NDSU has won the national playoff game in 9 of 11 appearances. Just to get to the final playoff game 11 times in less than 50 years is amazing, but to have won the championship game nearly 90 percent of the time is unbelievable. Does any other college team have a statistic like this?

And one of those was on a 50+/yd field goal at the end of the game against Troy in 84. The other we were routed by SW TX State in 81. We still have the most D2 championships with 5. :D

[tony]

Grand Valley and Northwest Missouri are both up to 4 championships. Northwest Missouri is also the losing-est team in the championship game (4 losses.) BTW, NWMSU didn't have a playoff win until 1996. Grand Valley didn't have one until 2001.

[Mr. Burgundy]

so this thread is on interesting statistics. The best QB/RB tandem of all time at SDSU just went 0-6 against NDSU. The same class of kids at NDSU won 58 out of 61 games, went undefeated against FBS competition and ended SDSU's season in back to back years in the dome. SDSU has yet to win a FBS game or make the QUARTERFINALS of a FCS playoff system.

Just some interesting facts (not opinions).

Probably tough to be another regional FCS program during this terrific run we are on. Some programs selling hope, we are selling proof.

It is fun to rang on SDSU for their lack of success against NDSU, but it is nice to have a program so close that is competitive and growing with their facilities. Keeps NDSU on their toes and moving forward.

I agree, EC8CH! They were a much "sadder" program before the move up. Despite the continued heads up losses, SDSU has done well to hitch their wagon to NDSU!

Are you talking about two different things?

Bison Loaf is talking about how SDSU wasn't going to go DI until NDSU did as well as how SDSU is doing better in DI than they were in D2. Heck, SDSU didn't decide to go DI until a full year after NDSU, and the day before their announcement, there was some doubt* about whether they were going to do it all.

I believe what you are alluding to is that having SDSU as a partner enabled NDSU to get into the MVFC/Summit.

* I'll have to dig that thread up... the ss.com thread was probably was good too - seems like star2city was convinced that SDSU was going to stay in D2 and that, by extension, NDSU would be doomed forever.

You are correct. I am referring to us hitching our wagon to SDSU which allowed us to get into a conference. But I would argue that without that there would be no life in DI for the Bison so the two are inexorably linked.

So, they decided a year later than us but moved up at the same time? That's interesting. Both schools were in the exploratory year in 2003 and transitioning from 2004-2007.

[Hammersmith]

So, they decided a year later than us but moved up at the same time? That's interesting. Both schools were in the exploratory year in 2003 and transitioning from 2004-2007.

NDSU and UNC decided at about the same time to move up. IIRC, UNC decided first, and that prompted NDSU to get serious about it. Those two then went to the NCC to find out who was willing to join them. SDSU & USD voted with them, but the idea to move up the entire conference failed. At that point, UNC and NDSU had a decision to make. Back then, a school could retroactively declare their current year as their exploratory year until something like December 1. UNC decided to do that, while NDSU decided to wait until the following year to try and work on additional NCC schools. Eventually SDSU agreed to move up as well, and the xDSUs announced their moves the following spring/summer.

What Neil is referring to is the fairly well-known rumor(at the time) that the MVFC(technically the Gateway back then) was strongly considering only inviting SDSU. WKU had just left the conference, and they were trying to decide whether to add one, two, or none. The rumor goes that after discussions, SDSU had the votes while NDSU didn't. (There have long been rumors about which schools were on which sides of the voting; nothing concrete as the votes were informal and not recorded.) SDSU's president was brought into the discussion and asked if SDSU would accept an invite without NDSU. He said no. The MVFC went back into private discussions and decided to invite both. The rest is history.

[tony]

So, they decided a year later than us but moved up at the same time? That's interesting. Both schools were in the exploratory year in 2003 and transitioning from 2004-2007.

Yep, that's how it went down. Northern Colorado and NDSU both decided to go DI around the same time (UNC in May and NDSU in August of 2002.) UNC went DI right away but NDSU waited a year to give the NCC a chance to react (not to mention that it gave NDSU time to get their ducks in a row.) SDSU didn't decide to go DI until August 2003.
