Its worth noting that ISU(R) has only played one game so far which I think is skewing thier stats for the moment, since they pretty much crushed butler. Will be interesting to see how things go, going forward.

NDSU's schedule is ridiculously back loaded so by the time they get through the ISUb game (on 10/7) it'll probably be pretty eye popping to see those national ranks.
Then shit gets real: @YSU, WIU, UNI, @SDSU, USD, and @ISUr in 6 consecutive weeks.

I was just saying that last night. When they get to YSU they should be running pretty smoothly.
Stats as of 9/16 games:
Really early in the season for team stats but, just for fun):

No way NDSU keeps all these #1 rankings now that the real season is beginning, but as long as we hold on that #1 scoring defense, we should be OK. :)

This is purple but if coach Klieman did not want to get reps for all the 2 3 and 4 in some capacity NDSU easiliy could be # 1 in a lot of those categories.

FIFY :biggrin:
I think coach learned last year the value of having OOC games where you get lots kids reps to build depth. Was the Saturday game all that much fun as a fan? No, but getting those 2's and 3's valuable game reps will pay dividends as we progress through the meat grinder of the MVFC.

The FCS national polls are going to be interesting this week.
7 top 25 teams lost, so the Missouri Valley Football Conference should be at peak power.
http://www.fcs.football/cfb/story.asp?i=20170924002709543614404
While Top 25 voters will have to sort through a lot of teams in the No. 15-30 mix to get a comfortable order for the rankings, they may simply look to the Missouri Valley Football Conference to fill out the Top 10. Monday's new rankings may include five, maybe six Valley teams. Second-ranked North Dakota State, No. 4 South Dakota State and No. 6 Youngstown State will likely hold serve, and South Dakota, Illinois State and Western Illinois (off a rout at FBS Coastal Carolina) are in the mix for the Top 10.
So with this week's poll, assuming Western Illinois makes the top-10, the 2017 NDSU schedule of 11 games will include 6 of those games being against teams that were ranked in the FCS top-10 at this point of the season. Eastern Washington is still at #11 after their come-from-behind victory over the Griz in Missoula, but started the season in the top-10.

Well, STATS did not quite get all the MVFC teams into the top 10.
2 - NDSU
4 - SDSU
6 - YSU
10 - USD
12 - Illinois State
13 - Western Illinois

Agree, well, they get the Bob Nielson reunion game this weekend against the Coyotes. Win against their former Head Coach, whose USD is at #10, and they'll get in for sure next week.
#5 Total Offense: 524.8 ypg (up from #7)
#1 Rushing Offense: 336.8 ypg (up from #2)

#1 Scoring Defense: 7.8 ppg
#20 First Downs: 104
#1 First Down Allowed: 33
#2 Time of Possession: 35:36 (down from #1)
Despite starting conference play, NDSU moved up in the rankings on 3 categories versus going down in only 1.

Interesting. That weird first half where we were dominated in TOP was unique from what we typically see. Certainly made up for a lot of that in the second half though.
And it does help that we played the worst team in the conference to start, and now we play the second worst team in the conference this weekend so that should help as a stats booster as well.

I'm impressed with the balance and depth on this year's team. We can win with passing, win with running, win with defense. We can win with when key players get hurt. While things could change, I really like the way this is setting up for the second half of the season and a playoff run.
As of Game 6
#5 Total Offense: 490.0 ypg

#1 in scoring offense and #1 in scoring defense. How often does that happen? I don't expect us to stay at the top of each category for long as we face stronger opponents.

In conference only stats we are:
1st in scoring defense and total defense.
3rd in scoring offense and total offense.

Tough to break given the remaining schedule, but the 9.2 ppg allowed is just over 2 ppg ahead of the 2013 squad's season average of 11.3.
A shut out this weekend would lower the number to 7.9 ppg.

I know we are doing a lot of really cool things both offensively and defensively and as was stated these will change as our schedule gets much more difficult. I just hope this doesn't turn into a Sam Houston State type of thread because right now it kind of does. Oh wait you put defense in there too ;)
Final standings:
#4 Total Offense: 448.9 ypg
#4 Rushing Offense: 272.2 ypg
#2 Scoring Offense: 38.7 ppg (Sam Houston was #1 with 43.3)
#4 Passing Efficiency: 163.15
#1 Total Defense: 237.4 ypg
#6 Rushing Defense: 89.5 ypg
#3 Passing Yards Allowed: 147.9 ypg
#2 Passing Eff. Defense: 93.12
#2 Scoring Defense: 11.6 ppg (James Madison was #1 with 11.2)
#5 Time of Possession: 33:43
NDSU scored 581 and opponents scored 174. That's tied for the most points NDSU has scored in a season with 2013.

I don't care where you're from. That's a DAMN good team. Our worst category there is rushing defense. Considering the nature of the MVFC, I think there is no doubt who is the best team in the country. That beautiful trophy just proves it.

Is there a stat for field goal kicking? I have to believe this season we were pretty poor. That, combined with the punting and returns, would support the idea that our special teams isn't quite as good as it's been in years past. I'm surprised by the passing yards being 92nd. I suppose that comes from never needing to pass to come from behind. Does anyone have a stat for 'minutes of games spent in a point deficit'? I can't imagine it's more than 10-15 minutes the whole season. Were we ever behind in the second half this year?

Difficult to be #4 in rushing and anything close to that on the passing side for yardage too. Only so many yards to be gained in a game.
KNOW IT ALL

Would be very interesting to see the Bison go to a four down offense anytime they cross the 50. consider punting if its 4th and 4 or more only. The few times they would give up the ball the defense would still have a long field behind them. I think a lot of games would be over at halftime.

FG% is considered an individual stat rather than a team stat... Cam was 63rd at 62.5%
The passing yards being 92nd is not that surprising... NDSU didn't need to pass a lot. Easton was 5th in yards per completion at 15 ypc (they don't have a stat for yards per attempt but he'd probably in the top 5 there too given his outstanding passing efficiency.)

Well for sure we were in the SDSU game, can't lose a game and not be behind in the second half, lol.
