Standards that NDSU set since joining the FCS

[tony]

Some records NDSU has set since joining the FCS:

Longest winning streak: 33
Most consecutive national championships: 5

Most assisted tackles in a game (23 v Wofford): Grant Olson
Most pick 6's in a career: Marcus Williams (7)
Most FGs made in a season: Adam Keller (29 in 2014)

I know there are more so I'll update this list.

Dang, you guys are good!

Best win percentage against FBS teams (.750).
Longest away win streak (19 games in a row.) Harvard had a shot... got up to 16 in a row this year until they lost at Holy Cross.

Disgusts me to this day that the 2013 team did not finish in the top 25.

Had K-State done a little better that year I think it would have helped.

Yet, that K St team was the best P5 team we've played. Have not seen any better.

Iowa had same record and a better win this year than anything K-state came close to. K-state at least won their bowl game though

I think the 2013 team would have beaten iowa by a couple td's.

[IzzyFlexion]

Largest positive margin of points scored against FBS opponents. (285-209)

Fewest average points per game allowed to FBS teams (minimum 10 games) 209 points allowed in 12 games for an average of: 17.4 ppg.

No, I didn't look it up..................Don't have to.

[reformedUNDfan]

I this Dudzik has the most wins by a starter, with 58, and I think he is tied for second in total starts, with 61

22 game playoff win streak

[bisonmike2]

Most beers slammed in the Toyota Stadium Parking lot prior to 11 am.

Agree with that, but still say K St was better mainly from the eye test; nothing more than that.

[Mr Pep Band]

Most man miles traveled to a post season game for any college football game.

~20,000 fans times 1083 miles from Fargo to Frisco equals about 21,660,000 man-miles. That is a lot of travel.

I don't think that would be accurate. 20,000 would be inflated as well.

Think about the big BCS games. Lots more people, sometimes traveling further.

Nice list... was trying to figure out why I only show 19 consecutive road wins... turns out the 22 games include 3 in Frisco, a neutral site. So I think the 19 is more accurate.

[X-Factor]

You think like an FCS Playoff selection committee

[BisonAccountant44]

I think the 2013 team would have beaten iowa by a couple td's.
False. This year's team should've beat Iowa by a couple touchdowns. The '13 tean would've had the 2nd team in halfway through the 4th.

[Hammerhead]

Not sure if this applies to any other teams, but the last 7 national champions have been in our half of the bracket.

[gumby013]

In 2015 we set the all-time college football record for total time of possession in a season.

[NDSU LumberJacks]

Exactly!!

Last 7 Titles have either been WON by the Bison or the Team that Won it - beat the Bison?? Impressive - and the ONE other thing/stat that hardly anybody ever brings up is -- the TWO Bison Teams that only lost ONE game in their Season - a blocked FG vs the Gophers and the last game of the Season game vs the Rabbits - ONE loss - of course the NCAA has some rule where even though your programs moves UP - you're not Playoff eligible??? - Makes sense huh?? - So we'll NEVER know what they might've done. An unbelievable RUN, to say the least.

Hopefully the Men's BB Team can continue to get better and WIN the Summitt and make their 4th Tourney appearance!!


Go Bison!!

While his post may have said "any college football game," the thread title does clearly state "FCS," so limiting the scope to other FCS games is probably a fair way to interpret that.

20K may not be very inflated. A bit perhaps, but rounded up from 18K or 19K?

And as long as I'm on a roll... the correct word would have been "farther" instead of "further" in your post. ;-)

Highest winning percentage all time in the playoffs for FCS teams having played in more than 10 championship games.

Only FCS school to ever host ESPN game day twice. Other than military academies, Ivy schools and Notre Dame/BYU, only non P5 school to host game day twice.

NDSU also has the highest win percentage in FCS history at .8000 (games as an FCS program only.)

Yeah literally too soon. As in we lost too soon. We wouldn't have printed that off until after the semifinal game.

Didnt our long snapper (Murphy???) have a record for most games played or most wins? I thought I remember reading it somewhere. Not sure though.

[JMB]

Personally, I think the class that graduated with more National Championships than losses (2015??) is the most eye popping. I still remember the morning show guys on KFAN discussing it.

[tony]

Put this on the watch list: The most wins in a decade by an FCS team is 119 (Montana from 2000-2009).

NDSU has 90 92 wins in the decade starting in 2010 so NDSU needs to average 10 9 wins over the next three seasons to surpass equal that.

Note: The NCAA records only look at decades starting at 0-years (1980-1989, 1990-1999, etc).

To set the record you need to average 12 wins per season. That is insane over a decade. Let's do it!:biggrin:

I edited my post because NDSU has 92 wins not 90 in this decade. Which is insane. It also means that NDSU "only" needs to average 9 wins a season to tie Montana's record.

How many fans would we lose in the tailgate lots if we had 3 games in 5 days ;)

[Christopher Moen]

I had this posted on a previous thread, but it is pertinent enough to be posted here as well. NDSU had two former players (that happen to rookies) get chosen for Nationwide's Gruden Grinder during their respective MNF games this past season. I doubt any FCS teams can match that honor, let alone elite FBS schools.

Would we have to leave or could we stay the 5 days? Asking for a friend.

That's affirmative.

[2011BisonAlumni]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe we are the only FCS team to send a guy to the Shrine Bowl 4 consecutive years. Also likely, after Zach Johnson gets his invite, the only FCS team to send a guy to the combine 4 consecutive years.

[bisonmike2]

Most QB's converted to LB's?

I'll put a question mark here because I'm not 100% sure on this one but how many other teams can say they took a QB and successfully converted them into a starting LB? News of Hendricks moving from QB to S got me thinking about Esley Thorton. What an incredible story to make that change. Kudos to the staff for seeing that he could make it at LB and kudos to him for putting in the time to change his body and learn an entirely new position. And not just play but excel at it.
