Last replay you watched

[tony]

I just re-watched Richmond (2015-16 playoffs) this week.

Holy cow. Should have been at least a 5 TD game at the half. Defense was fantastic - and, actually, the offense was pretty dang good too. Only problem was that Richmond was really jumping on the outs and/or Easton was late with his throws - the Spiders could have had two or three pick 6s.

[BisonFanAnn]

Last weekend we watched the first N Iowa game, plus the playoff game against Montana. I only wish I could watch these games with Scotty Miller's call.

[No_Skill]

I have a tradition of watching each of the championship games during the layoff between the semis and the championship. It's getting harder and harder to pack them all in.

[HerdBot]

Richmond and Kansas State. Richmond looked so awesome on TV

[kristind]

I was traveling last week so downloaded a few games off of YouTube for the plane flights. I watched.... the second Montana game, Northern Iowa and Youngstown....

JSU. My boy asked. I love that kid.

JSU. My boy asked. I love that kid.

I've watched JSU a few times but the stadium PA guy always makes me want to switch to something else. He was beyond obnoxious

[Alsen]

I have watched all the games multiple times and this what I get.

The Bison defense will be dominant next year.

Easton Stick has a long way to go as a passer. Do not be too confident. However, he is an electric runner. Our backup QB's better be ready because Stick likes to mix it up inside, and that can be perilous.

We will miss Zach Vraa a lot more than most realize. He is an outstanding possession receiver. He should be on a practice squad this fall.

MJ Stumpf is an excellent LB and if he gets just a little bigger,stronger,faster, he may rival DeLuca for top honors.

Unfortunately, on the other side there really,really needs to be an open competition, because there were just a bunch of missed opportunities and bad plays. I think it would be a huge mistake to go with staus Quo here.

Caleb Butler should be playing LB. What do I know?? I challenge anyone to watch the snaps Butler took last year and not admit he should be competing at LB.

If Kelly turns out as expected and secures the starting SS position, the secondary as a whole could be considered....shutdown. Jalen Allison is enormously talented and Dempsey has already arrived. Grimsley is just going to get bigger,stronger,faster, and better. I like the depth as well.

Ambrosious is a phenomenal tackler and excellent against the run, but we already have better pass rushers. Hopefully we see more frequent substitutions on passing downs. The future of our DL in general looks so good it is scary.

How can a team and coaches that display excellence almost everywhere all the time be sitting here without a true possession receiver in a west coast offense?? Obviously, Sean Engel needs a redshirt year to get stronger. I am really disappointed about this. Stick is in desperate need of a go to guy, so it is probably going to be Urzendowski, which is far from ideal. RJ isn't a typical possession receiver in a west coast offense. IMO, they should have gone hard after a sure-handed JC transfer with some size and blocking ability. Some have mentioned Illies as a candidate but I didn't see enough of him to have a clue about that possible transition. Would be great if he had the hands and athleticism to do it, he has the prototypical size.

If we end up with one of our guys stepping up and securing the LT position and playing at a high level, our offense may be unstoppable in the MVC this year.

[EC8CH]

Lots of good stuff there.

Stick showed some flashes of having great passing abilities in the playoffs. Hope that continues. Kinda unfair for the kid since we are all comparing his abilities to Wentz.

Butler is going to shine as he gets more reps no matter where he plays.

Hope Grimsley keeps improving on his run fits and pursuit angles. Great player, huge potential, just needs to be more consistent.

Agree that someone stepping up to fill Vraa's shoes is going to be huge. Hawkins?

[ZHerd]

With RJ, Darius (as good a freshman WR as I have seen at NDSU), Williams, Illies, Hawkins and incomers Bridges and Ellefson I'm really not concerned about our receiving game. Yes we may miss Vraa's hands and ability to catch in traffic but Shepherd is also excellent in traffic. Looks like a solid group and I REALLY hope we don't pull Engel's redshirt.

[BisonFanAnn]

Stick showed some flashes of having great passing abilities in the playoffs. Hope that continues. Kinda unfair for the kid since we are all comparing his abilities to Wentz.

During the heated debate of Wentz vs Stick last fall, I said that Stick is not as good a QB as Wentz - but he is a good enough QB to get the job done.

Turns out I was right. I can't imagine that he won't continue to improve.

[Mr Meaty]

Stick is a baller and will be great this year. Thrown into the fire last year and go 8-0 with everything on the line. Kids has ice water in his veins. Does he still need to improve? YES... As great as Carson was he still needed to improve. I have full faith in Stick next year and the years to come.

[CaBisonFan]

Anyone have a take on Cole Davis's abilities?

[BisonNation11]

I have watched all the games multiple times and this what I get.

The Bison defense will be dominant next year.

Look forward to this side of the ball the most.

Easton Stick has a long way to go as a passer. Do not be too confident. However, he is an electric runner. Our backup QB's better be ready because Stick likes to mix it up inside, and that can be perilous.

I think you have to put your mind back to a much more athletic Brock. Polacek will also have to set his mind right that it isn't Wentz back there. I saw smart decisions from Stick as the games progressed. Won't win a game with his arm yet, but shouldn't lose one either. Plus he has some solid weight to him given his height so physicality doesn't worry me too much. Ball security on the other hand...

We will miss Zach Vraa a lot more than most realize. He is an outstanding possession receiver. He should be on a practice squad this fall.

Vraa money baby

MJ Stumpf is an excellent LB and if he gets just a little bigger,stronger,faster, he may rival DeLuca for top honors.

He really impressed me as the year went on. Hope he has a great senior season. I think DeLuca is untouchable.

Unfortunately, on the other side there really,really needs to be an open competition, because there were just a bunch of missed opportunities and bad plays. I think it would be a huge mistake to go with staus Quo here.

Agreed. I couldn't tell if not hearing their name last year was a good thing or bad. Depends on the situation. Didn't like it though.

Caleb Butler should be playing LB. What do I know?? I challenge anyone to watch the snaps Butler took last year and not admit he should be competing at LB.

Love Butler, but too many people at LB right now. Unless he went to MLB. I love his motor and smarts on the line. He will be a beast. Remember, BA is a senior this year. He could lineup opposite Menard in 2017.

If Kelly turns out as expected and secures the starting SS position, the secondary as a whole could be considered....shutdown. Jalen Allison is enormously talented and Dempsey has already arrived. Grimsley is just going to get bigger,stronger,faster, and better. I like the depth as well.

Fully agree. Especially depth.

Ambrosious is a phenomenal tackler and excellent against the run, but we already have better pass rushers. Hopefully we see more frequent substitutions on passing downs. The future of our DL in general looks so good it is scary.

Alley cats are going to be dominant.

Would be great if he had the hands and athleticism to do it, he has the prototypical size.

Vraa was a freak that we will rarely see come through. I think RJ has the ability to be the man. Building depth behind RJ and Shepard is my concern.

If we end up with one of our guys stepping up and securing the LT position and playing at a high level, our offense may be unstoppable in the MVC this year.

They said that about the line this year. Hope they improve and don't have a slow start. Just keep Stick clean in the pocket is all I'm asking of the LT (like it's an easy task...) RB's need to run with the same passion, power and energy that they did for the second half of the season.

[KC Bison]

Anyone have a take on Cole Davis's abilities?
We are potentially one injury away from needing an answer to this question.

[ZHerd]

We are potentially one injury away from needing an answer to this question.

Last season Klieman mentioned that both Stick and Davis were good enough to step in and win a game if the need arose...which it did

[THEsocalledfan]

Easton was late with his throws - the Spiders could have had two or three pick 6s.

I still, for the life of me, cannot understand why some questioned starting Carson if ready in the title game. That was a NO brainier decision to me. Plus, NDSU remembered "who they were" under Stick, which basically doomed Jack St.

[Ndsu84]

It wasn't a no brainer for me because we hadn't seen Carson practice to know how well he was doing. We had seen Polesek try too much when Carson was in and go back to "normal" Bison football when Easton was in. Easton would have won the national too but Carson was awesome! It's not that easy to replace the qb who won 8 straight with the one who was hurt in the loss to SD.(unless you're seeing how awesome he is in practice)

Last game I replayed was k-state but the version I have was edited by fsn for replay. Sucks they took out the Bison dropped td, missed fg and Marcus' int.

Ambrosius was unblockable at times in the playoffs. Kid will have an amazing year. He is a LDE and his role is to play the run first. Dude will be an all american this year.

Caleb Butler beat out a several players to earn a spot in the rotation. Kid was a state champ wrestler, track athlete, and fast enough to play skilled positon in high school. Epitome of an amazing athlete but at 243 kids way too slow to be a Bison linebacker. He had to keep his weight down in high school to wrestle at his division. With Kramer he easily adds weight and gets to 250. Keep in mind this was his first year at the position

RJ is a prototypical possession receiver in my book.

Stick is going to be amazing. Kid stepped in and went undefeated and best some great teams. Needs to work on the short passing game but overall I would score him am A+. No experience and he gets us back to Frisco as a freshman

I mentioned "if ready" for the reason you mentioned about practice. Thankfully, NDSU remembered they were a running team in the championship, and the rest is history!

I have seen that one too and thought it was odd that they edited those out. If you are going to edit the game edit out a couple 3-and-out sesssions. A turn over and a missed scoring chance would have much more effect on the game.

[GOBISON123]

Easton was late with his throws - the Spiders could have had two or three pick 6s.

I really admire this kid, considering the situation he had to deal with. Not just last year but also right from the start he had to deal with a lot of uncertainly with Bhol leaving etc etc. I just hope he improves his throwing and becomes a part of national conversation like Carson Wentz in his draft class. If Easton and Co had faltered earlier in the season or during playoffs I doubt Carson would get this much media attention. This tells me that Easton has a very high level of concentration to tune out the noise and focus on the signal, for a 18-19 year old kid that is a great attribute. I desperately hope he maintains his focus, improves his throwing, not fall for the tempations of booze and opposite sex and be sucessfull just like Carson.


I still, for the life of me, cannot understand why some questioned starting Carson if ready in the title game. That was a NO brainier decision to me. Plus, NDSU remembered "who they were" under Stick, which basically doomed Jack St.

The Gamecocks were solid upfront and we had a hard time establishing our running game. It was the right decision to start Carson Wentz.

I saw the replay 3 three times already , it has been a while. I will agree with you because my memory might be fading.

[thundarsdaddy]

I finally got to watch the National Championship game 2 weeks ago. We were lucky enough to go this year, it was amazing!!! But we left Frisco early that Sunday morning, and went to Rochester(Mayo) by Tuesday morning. Spent about 15 days there, with the end result being NO MORE CANCER!!! After 19 months of chemo and treatments, they ended up doing cryo-ablation, cryo-freezing. Very experimental. Turned out to be VERY SUCCESSFUL! Now while I thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers, yes Stage 4 Adv. Metastatic prostate cancer....beaten, please keep Miss BisonFanette in your thoughts and prayers. Its not her spcifically, but in her family. Yup....cancer. For all she has done for so many in Bison Nation...tickets rooms..etc., she deserves some love.

Defense will be ridiculous against the run; new corners will be tested because teams won't be able to run the ball.

I don't think Easton has a long way to go as a passer; he'll just get better and better with experience. Compare his freshman year to Jensen:
RFr. Stick, 2015: 8 starts, 61.2% completion on 147 attempts, 1144 yards, 13 TD, 4 Int
RFr. Jensen, 2010: 7 starts, 45.0% completion on 131 attempts, 950 yards, 7 TD, 2 Int

Then look at what Jensen turned into with some experience (as well as, admittedly, the best FCS team of all time around him:
Sr. Jensen, 2013: 15-0, 66.3% completion on 329 attempts, 2793 yards, 34 TD, 7 Int

Stumpf turned into a solid LB last year, especially against the run. Against Montana in the playoffs, he was basically tasked with stopping the RB by himself as they shifted DeLuca into coverage. With that said, anyone who thinks he is near DeLuca's level needs to pay more attention to Nick DeLuca. He is ridiculously talented, and if he played on a team that chucked the ball and had their defense on the field more, he would lead the country in tackles by a mile. Watch him in pass coverage, or even on punt coverage; a 245 pound linebacker shouldn't be able to move like that. Everyone should do themselves a favor and watch a replay, but spend the entire time watching DeLuca and the different ways he affects games; run defense, blitzes, pass coverage 25 yards downfield, usually the first guy down on punts. He's who scouts will be coming to see next year; we have been so spoiled at MLB, and he is the best of all of them.

Well said.
I think one of the reasons we have such talent, is the intelligence of these players. Not just brawn but lots of brains.
This cannot be overstated and brings the Bison to another level

It's actually the 2011 and 2012 games and they should be on there somewhere, I downloaded them awhile ago or got them from TSCF.

Still looking for the semi's against GSU though. Would love to find all the Minnesota games too. If anyone knows of links please post them up!

My four year old son often asks to watch Bison football replays on YouTube. One of his favorites is the Kansas State highlights. We watched it together just the other day.

They refer to the year in which the game was played. Not too difficult. Everyone knows its for the current season which was played in the previous calender year.

Yes, however, I was just explaining to Bisonator98 why I referred to the two Championships Games as 2012 and 2013 National Championship games as opposed to the correct years. Due to the way ESPN/NCAA titles the Championship games, it can be difficult researching the correct information.

I keep rewatching the JSU game. I don't know why. There is just something satisfactory about it after all the season long #1 ranking, JSU forum BS, and mystery how good JSU really was with all their reject FBS talent. (Actually standing at the "walk" and seeing JSU team in person, I decided they didn't have a chance....big=fat & out of shape viewed in person - band was in great shape lining the walk and excellent.). Besides we actually were able to go to the game which was a blessing in itself! Wonderful, wonderful time. Talked with a couple of great JSU fans before and after the game. Just great memories. Will probably watch is a few more time. Sort of a "Where were you when ..." moment.
