1) Thank you Seniors.
2) Stick is a stud. Great bounce back. Still the best qb in the valley, etc.
3) Great showing by the defense as a whole. I was really worried after that first yotes drive.
4) Brooks should get more carries. He's fast. Really fast.
5) It would be nice to have a kick return without a penalty.
6) One more week for an outright Valley Championship. Life is good.

Glad that Davis got a few snaps.

Thought we might have seen him a drive earlier.......but........good to see him back on the field.

Brooks................wow.

Very nice performance by the OC and QB. Defense played really tough in the second half. Brooks is impressive at getting free and using his speed, hope to see lots more. Wilson had a good game too. Now let's take down the Redbirds and get on with the playoffs.

1.) Seth Wlison, going to be special
2.) Ty Brooks, explosive
3.) Bruce, will dominate on the inside, especially 1 and 2 being incorporated.
4). Tight ends (Awesome)
5.) CAS knows defense, they played fast today

This Bison team is more talented than most of the past championship teams. The big difference in this team and past teams is penalties. If ndsu doesn't win out I'm guessing the main reason will be penalties.
Coach Bohl seemed to pride himself on having no penalties, and I liked that. Play with no penalties and let other teams beat themselves instead of constantly beating yourself up and having to play twice as well as you should have to play.

Stick had a really good game, but I still don't consider him the best in the MVFC. When he is on, he does look better than Brock Jensen. I think he is a confidence player and when he gets out of his own head he is good FCS QB. The coaches need to game plan around his strengths which I feel like they did.

Easton was great today.
Ty has some good vision and speed.
I wish our DBs tried more pass break attempts rather than just tackling the WRs after a catch. It looked like Chris Streveler was picking and choosing his receivers and getting 7 or 8 yards every play.
Loved the play calling by Coach Courtney.

Can we please stop running the RPO from the shotgun for 2 yard gain? It really isn't an RPO if you mostly just run. Just run a shotgun zone run play then. Or at least throw a sweep with a 2 RB set.

USD was 0-4 on 4th down attempts. I think that was huge. We gave up some yards to a great offense but came up with big stops when we needed to!

DakotaOkie
11-12-2017, 12:30 AM
This game made the Bison offense and defense stats to date look pretty legit. One can draw any conclusion they wish, but the doubters indicating all of the offense/defense production was due to a weak schedule now have to include most of the MVFC. Shutting down USD's offensive scoring machine was no small task nor was putting up over 600 yards of total offense and 49 points. I do hope the bulk of the injuries were relatively minor and the guys will be be back again this season.

Screw that TE that SDSU has, I would put our TE's right up there with him any day. They got open, they were catching balls and their runs after that catch were awesome. It was nice watching them bounce off defenders, stiff arming them and carrying 2-3 of them down field before getting tackled.

The Bison certainly showed up today. Almost 650 yards, almost 50 points, and the only part of the game it seemed like the Bison had trouble with was getting one yard. I am not nitpicking, I just thought it was interesting. The depleted defense not only held their own against a big play offense, they pretty much shut them down after half time. You make a QB move, their accuracy plummets.

I have said this in years past, there are games you can point out when Coach K has more involvement in the defense. I think it is less and less as Entz is becoming very capable without much help anymore, but this game had Klieman writing all over the defense. They obviously saw some things UNI was doing well because they did a lot of things UNI does on defense. Playing a lot of 4-3 under and funneling everything to the OLB, so it plays out more like a 3-4 defense. They didn't play it perfectly, but they played it well enough to through USD completely off their game. The Bison D wasn't just offsetting to the weak side either, they were mixing some over in there too. I love defenses and today counted on everyone really being disciplined to stay in their lane. In the second half, the Bison were pretty much in a quarter package the whole time and when they were bring extra pressure, they were playing their safeties like LBers in a 3-4. This was as drastic of a change the defense has made in any game that I have seen some of the option teams they have played. If they played a team like USD again, now the defense will see what happens when they abandon their responsibilities because those were the plays the yotes kept drives alive. I have said this before, if I was a P5 head coach, I would be begging Klieman to be my d-coordinator.

The Bison surely locked in a first round buy, which is desperately needed. This team needs some time off. Get the win next week and I feel they leave the committee very little choice but to move them back into the #2 spot. The road to Frisco goes through the dome again. A bye and hopefully a break from some valley teams for at least a game or two and it should be a favorable set up to have some more depth in the championship rounds of this season long fight towards another trophy.

I want to address one thing I have heard over and over again about Coach K teams vs. Coach Bohl teams and penalties. I decided to look up the per game average since 2004. Here it is:
2004: 5.63
2005: 6.27
2006: 4.54
2007: 6.72
2008: 5.72
2009: 6.36
2010: 7.42
2011: 5.53*
2012: 4.86*
2013: 4.86*
2014: 6.06*
2015: 5.13*
2016: 5.92
2017: 5.50

So in those 14 years, Coach K years were ranked 4th (2015)*#, 5th (2017)#, 9th (2016)#, and 10th (2014)*#. *NC years #MVFC Champs

What is also interesting about the penalty numbers, they drastically went down consistently the year Coach K was hired on the staff. If penalties are going to be the barometer for level of discipline, then it is pretty obvious there hasn't been much of a change from one regime to the next. At least using the last few years of the Bohl regime. I do think with the talent level across FCS consistently getting better over the past 6 to 7 years, penalties are more difficult to overcome every year which make them stand out more.

I am thinking the refs figured out the USD defender turned away at the last second and the actual cut block shouldn't have been called. Maybe you can make a penalty happen once by turning your body at the last moment, but someone will point it out to the ref and they will look for that the next time. It isn't much on the blocker when the defender is squared up when you initiate the block and they quickly turn during the block.

Same play. Looked perfectly legal to me.

Same play. Looked perfectly legal to me.Below Waist
ARTICLE 2. a. A block below the waist is a block in which the force of the
initial contact is below the waist of an opponent who has one or both feet on
the ground. When in question, the contact is below the waist (Rule 9-1-6).
b. A blocker who makes contact above the waist and then slides below the
waist has not blocked below the waist. If the blocker first contacts the
opposing player’s hands at the waist or above, it is a legal “above the waist’’
block (Rule 9-1-6).

ARTICLE 6. a. Team A prior to a change of team possession:.
1. While the ball is inside the tackle box, the following players may
legally block below the waist inside the tackle box until they leave the
tackle box: linemen completely inside the tackle box, and stationary
backs at least partially inside the tackle box and at least partially
inside the frame of the body of the second lineman from the snapper.
(A.R. 9-1-6-V)
2. While the ball is inside the tackle box, all other players (i.e., those
not covered in paragraph 1), and all players after the ball has left the
tackle box, are allowed to block below the waist only if the force of
the initial contact is directed from the front. “Directed from the
front” means within the clock-face region between “10 o’clock and 2
o’clock” forward of the player being blocked. Exceptions are given in
paragraphs 3 and 4. (A.R. 9-1-6-I-II, IV, VII-VIII)
3. Players not covered in paragraph 1 (above) may not block below the waist
toward the original position of the ball at the snap until the ball carrier is
clearly beyond the neutral zone.
4. Once the ball has left the tackle box a player may not block below the
waist toward his own end line. (A.R. 9-1-6-III)

Bolded part of 1. Above I believe was why it was called. If he'd engaged first then dropped down then it's a legal block, per the first two items.

It was a horrendous call IMO. Only reason the contact happened below the waist was because the USD guy was running away from the block. Even with that it was barely a touch and it provided zero advantage to the blocker since it had no effect on the play along with putting the blockee in no danger (since he obviously saw the block coming since he was running away from it). There was no reason to throw the flag there.

I wonder what the official actually saw. First, the rule is complicated. Second, the defender turned. I didn't agree with the call either.

SDSU probably should be #3 if they win, but I'd rather see them on the JMU side of the bracket at #4. If they play like they did against us, I could see them beating JMU. Of course, I wouldn't count on them either being seeded #4 or beating JMU. I wouldn't even count on them beating USD yet.

Moriah Formica. She is currently on The Voice. Apparently touring a bit? Not 100% sure as I don't watch the show. She was on with Jay Thomas on Friday.

She said she opened locally for Michael Sweet and did a couple songs with Halestorm in the past. She has been compared to Lizzy Hale and it's an appropriate comparison.

I would go with Streveler every time. His cast isn't as good as Weineke and Goedert, plus Streveler couldn't count on his oline being allowed to tackle defenders on every drop back. I was very impressed at how the coyotes moved the ball down the field despite being outmatched at maybe every position other than Streveler.

IMO, Strevler is much more physical player than Christon, the hits he took would put Christon out of the game.

I wonder what the official actually saw. First, the rule is complicated. Second, the defender turned. I didn't agree with the call either.


Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThe low block rules are very complex. The most common time it becomes a foul is downfield when it's not 10-2. If he was running away and hit him from the side it would likely be a foul. If the contact is at the side because the defender turned after the blocker was committed them it wouldn't be a foul. That's often a judgement call and since this is a safety foul and not an advantage/disadvantage foul they will err on the side of foul.

Moriah Formica. She is currently on The Voice. Apparently touring a bit? Not 100% sure as I don't watch the show. She was on with Jay Thomas on Friday.

She said she opened locally for Michael Sweet and did a couple songs with Halestorm in the past. She has been compared to Lizzy Hale and it's an appropriate comparison.

My better half just loved that performance! She is all over it now on FB & the interwebs
Thanx for the name!
Hope Moriah’s Facebook link works here (as I am not a member)

Does anyone have a link for the Bison Running Back that got flipped in the air and landed on his head/neck? I can't remember who it was but I thought it was #8.

We always seem to hear the bad but.......
As I was walking into the dome there was a few USD fans coming in. I said good luck today I hope it is a good game. The one lady stops and turns around and makes sure I knew that they couldn't believe how nice NDSU fans had been to them.

I thought you were going to discuss our true freshman RB and how he had a huge and critical TD run. Haha. All good bud

Game thoughts:

1. Great game plan and execution- run commitment but Stick also identified people out of position and kept eyes downfield to burn them early. 11/12 25.6 yards per pass 46 runs 7.4 per. Not every run went for 3.3- RELAX when they don’t.

Bison played their game and were good enough to outplay some calls that didn’t go their way. Team felt this after EWU 2011 and I think got another reminder with SDSU. They may not always win, but I think have the best opportunity when controlling what they can. Some like vanilla and chocolate. I like vanilla. It is what the Bison do.

2. Consistent pressure dinged up Streveler early and he was not able to do his thing later in the game. He came up with a limp in the 2nd or early 3rd and may have impacted his ability to finish throws late. Nothing illegal, but this has been a hallmark for some big, tight Bison wins in the past.

3. Thank you seniors- praying for Kuhnert. Been a tough year for injuries and some positives come out with other people getting opportunities. Hate to see those guys going down and not getting to play.

4. I like the way they are rotating backs. 1-2 punch with a pepper of #3. Bruce may have not shown up a ton but he did have some big yards, and is playing the bruiser role. Maybe needs a little more patience. He will pop a couple yet.

5. Looks to me like these guys just got some of the early season swagger back, and I am optimistic for the rest of the year.

*swagger does not mean cross arms after every decent tackle. Celebrate in a way that doesn’t show up opponents. Hug a teammate or something, because everyone is working on each play. Bison swagger, not look at me swagger.

My 6 year old learned the Cam Newton dab at school. He sometimes does it after catching a football while playing catch, remembering to lift the lid to pee, and after brushing teeth.

In fairness he dominated that toothbrush.

He is good but the defense is a huge liability. Long season for one guy to carry the load.

I felt so much better when sitting down and seeing USD wearing their Mo State Beat Down Whites (credit to former Bison Andre Smith). Nice to see everyone playing their part and playing as a team. I knew but was still surprised how many seniors we have.
Their qb is their team. I was surprised they left him in after the game was out of hand. Really a gamble.
I talked to some usd students at tailgate and they were having a good time and felt welcome. They assured me they will take care of business this coming Saturday against the bunnies :biggrin:

I’m not sure we want that. An SDSU win, combined with an NDSU win, might be enough to finally get both of us
on opposite brackets.

Yes, that was Bruce getting his legs cut from underneath him after catch pass.

In regards to hits, my favorite was when Easton trucked a DB and ran for few more yards. I wasn't as devastating as Wentz vs. the YSU DB, but it was nice.

Great effort this weekend Bison; they bounced back from the SDSU loss well!
The coaches showed some new or rarely used wrinkles which I predicted would leave the USD defense guessing!

Another great week of practice should leave the Bison with a great shot a winning the outright MVFC crown this weekend in Normal, Illinois!

I appreciate the sentiment and your lack of ability to read between the lines (ur the 2nd person)! My point being wrinkles of any type would work rather effectively and I was right! I dealt with plenty of people such as yourself during my military career and with it being Veterans Day weekend I will refrain from engaging you in a battle of tit for tat!

USD has Streveler and home field going for them and that's about it. Thought their defense looked much better earlier in the year but maybe that was before the suspensions or just the competition. Good Luck Yotes, you'll need it.

I agree, but SDSU defense will struggle with how Strevler plays. I think SDSU wins a one score, high scoring game.

Bridges played well Saturday. I have not noticed him that much this year. Seems to be out there a lot. I know Davis was out might have something to do with it. Cox continues to impress me. He did get caught on a bad angle one time on Strevler, but the rest of the time he was spot on. This team is really rounding into playoff mode.

He isn't a hard hitter like Heagle, but he can play fearlessly near the line of scrimmage like him.

In all honesty, if you had an opportunity to get a ride to Minnesota, you should take it. It's a world class institution. His problem was not sticking to it. You can go be a middling back and get a great education or go be a middling back and get a so-so education.

He's not a football first talent. He's not going to play football for a living.
