NDSU @ Oregon Predictions

[El_Chapo]

Until the other thread is re-opened, Let's see our Honest Predictions:

Oregon underestimates NDSU's toughness and speed and struggles to an early halftime lead of 13-10.

NDSU's hits them with a Trick Play to open 2nd half with a Touchdown making it 17-13

Autzen stadium experiences extreme puckering, registering on the richter scale.

Oregon answers frantically with a TD and FG on subsequent drives going up 23-17.

Trey Lance answers with a drive similar to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMvobbZlGCI

NDSU wins 24-23.

[ByeSonBusiness]

Oregon 35
Ndsu 21

[Kevin]

NDSU 31

That was so long ago. No similar coaches or players, not relevant.

NDSU wins 34-24 and bisonville is upset they gave up that one touchdown.

NDSU runs early and sustains a couple drives. New OC from the O begins to worry about time and not beating NDSU by enough to retain ranking. Pushes tempo up for their new qb.

Looks good for a while, then random pick off the wideouts hands. Tempo faster, wheels off.

Accidentally NDSU takes down another.

Never attended NDSU. My dad took me to my first game in the early 90's. Rob Hyland was QB then I believe? It was definitely before the glory days of Feeney.

What about you? Is Chubs a reference to the bar of Fargo fame or your cell mate in Chino?

Not that it matters but the K State game was 2013, but I agree with you.

I don't see either team scoring 30 or more points. The Ducks have a superb defense. Most of their very good defense is back which I think will limit NDSU's opportunities offensively.

Oregon won't have the luxury of having a fully installed offense with four new OL, a new QB, and a new OC. Yeah, I get it, the new OL are all four and five star studs, but the key to superb OL play is the ability of all five players to play as a unit, they won't be at that point yet for this first game, so I see the Bison defense holding it's own despite the loss of JC.

Personally, I think the first team to 24 wins.

[23Bison]

Oregon O will look lost for 2/3 of the game because of no time to gel this spring. Their D is stout only giving up 20 points to the Bison. Bison D has a hiccup or two in busted coverage allowing Oregon to score 17.

Final score is a close one with:
Bison 20
Ducks 17

Or I’m completely wrong and it’s 27 to 14.
Bison 14
Ducks 27

[TAILG8R]

Ducks fans gonna have a field day with this thread!!

[Mr Meaty]

We have a wait for them in a duck blind, they will never see us until it is too late.

[Bisonator98]

Bison - 13
Ducks - 17

Think it will be a defensive struggle. Their offense doesn't scare me at all but they will have a very stout defense. They stop us on the final drive to hold on for the win. Hope I'm wrong.

Even Iowa State got out to a 14-0 lead against the Bison. Seeing Lakes sit there in despair in the south endzone is my enduring memory of that game. :bunnyb:

Alas, they had to play the rest of the game. :banghead:

[ZHerd]

The game is played in an empty stadium. It’s tied 10 all close to half when a few drunk fans manage to sneak in. The second half is canceled and both teams are placed in quarantine and the NCAA declares it a tie. Oregon’s playoff hopes are dashed even though they crush Ohio St. and win out. ND plate vehicles in Oregon are targets of vandalism for the next couple decades and green and gold become hated in Duck country so bad that the team permanently sticks with black, surrender white, gray, and breast cancer awareness unis

NDSU takes the victory formation at the UO goalline for a 31-17 win.

8 Months later the teams produce 6 first round picks.

Bison kick duck ass and the mighty duckies give up by halftime. Spoiled FBS fans riot in the streets. Five star Oregon players wonder if they are as good as the sports media built them up to be. Truth is you still need to play the game.

[stevdock]

If this game is played in front of no fans, huge advantage NDSU. In my opinion, if no fans Oregon should just buy out the game, because they have WAY more to lose than to gain.

[123Gobison]

Short answer, everything boils down to Trey's ability to successfully throw intermediate - short passes and not run with the ball if a WR on a deep route is not open.

[ndsubison1]

At this point I just hope the game is played. I think we can play right with them. First game is better than playing that D down the road. Treys feet provides something else they have to defend. ASUs QB reminds me of Lance and he had a hell of a game last year. The one matchup that should determine the game is how our DL holds up.

I don’t believe this game, along with many others across all college sports, will be played. I am pessimistic about my oldest daughter’s senior season of high school volleyball, which that and HS football seasons are sounding like an at-best 50/50 of happening out here. Really hoping MLB starts and NBA resumes and are able to carry on incident-free. That would be a huge step forward.

But I’ll still post a score prediction: Ducks 30 Bison 31. Trey Mahomes cannot be stopped.

I am starting to think this game is more likely. The naysayers will lose their argument to stop everything as more of the country opens up. Next 2 months will be a continual reopening. Oregon will look bad if they cancel this game. Their players are starting to realize they have to man up and play the mighty Bison!

LOLOLOLOL... If NDSU loses by more than 4 or more scores, I will be the first person on here to congratulate you on your overconfidence.

[IzzyFlexion]

Bison defense has only surrendered 40 points or more 1 time since October of 2009. (50-44 OT win over EWU in '16)

The Eagles racked up 556 yards on offense in that game.

NDSU gave up over 500 yards 1 additional time in that 2016 season in a loss vs SDSU.

The Bison have not given up 500 yards to an opponent's offense since.

Bama might be ok with that. It'd be a season ender for Michigan because you know they aren't going through the Big 10 unscathed.

Michigan still remembers Appy. No way they consider playing us and adding another chapter to that book.

I'm not trolling, this is my prediction. For a nearly empty stadium, which could happen. I'd be more bullish if it was a regular home game. If I really start to doubt the Ducks I think it can be something like 35-17 or 35-21. But I don't think it will be that close.

I'm not going to repeat the same talking points and get the same rebuttals, it wore thin in the other thread. I just really want this game to happen, because I'm excited to see it. I was also looking forward to coming back to gloat, or to eat my share of crow.

Joel Klatt’s scenario will never happen. At least for Oregon. If they’re not allowed to play in Autzen they’re not going to travel to another state to play a team from yet another state and then travel back. USC being private might have more leeway, but I very strongly doubt that. They might hold practice elsewhere, but that’s it.

We will know more after the Pac-12 meetings on June 15th. They’ll have to decide (they being the University presidents) what will happen and if student athletes can be on campus in July.

Uh, what?

The governor most certainly has a say. With the exception of the courts intervening she has the ultimate say especially for the operations of state government.

I can speak about Oregon and its universities specifically as an event I was coorganizing in Portland was cancelled as the governor had made a statement the day previous regarding the state remaining closed.

[OrygunBison]

For a little perspective, the governor is allowing 31 Oregon counties, including Lane, to partially open immediately. There's a 5 county area which includes Portland and Salem that will remain closed, I assume, for a while yet.

I think it depends on the context. If you snuck it in the middle of their conference or preseason slate, maybe. Playoff scenario where there’s equal game planning and we lose big.

The biggest benefit we have going for us is that we game plan for P5 schools more than they do for us. It’s the reason why SDSU plays us so close in the regular season every year.

[RatherBeYachting]

Nothing exciting, but Oregon’s AD did a Zoom press conference. Said that they’re not considering playing games elsewhere that are supposed to be at Autzen. Looking at how games can be social distanced. Stuff changing every day, it’s only May 15th, etc:

I don't think you realize the implications of treating student athletes different than "regular" athletes. It would open up all kinds of lawsuits and reversals of previous decisions if they were to allow student athletes to return to campus for sports but no other students for education.

Do you really think we will be able to score 14??

The offensive line, new OC, and qb are studs. Hope this game happens. I want to open early Christmas presents.

Oregon 31 - NDSU 14.

Even Iowa State got out to a 14-0 lead against the Bison. Seeing Lakes sit there in despair in the south endzone is my enduring memory of that game. :bunnyb:

Alas, they had to play the rest of the game. :banghead:

You guys showed up and tried hard. That’s all that mattered. Stop beating yourself up for a game that happened 6 years ago in a game you were supposed to lose anyways

Will Bison fans be saying anything like this in 6 years after a loss to Oregon (if God forbid you actually lose)? I doubt it. Like me, they will find something to hold on to, but won't simply accept the loss.

An interesting fact is that, Ducks scored 49 on Wyoming. Wyoming only put up 13 points most of it in 1st Quarter. Needless to say Josh Allen was the Wyoming QB. FWIW Brent Vigen was the OC , no offense.

NDSU won that game 21-7 playing poorly. Went undefeated 2 years in a row with some poor games in there.

Yeah, I just read about him.

I love watching Lance. He has great pocket presence, strong arm, quick and compact throwing motion and he is good with his legs. I love everything about him.

JMU’s defense is really undersized. Montana State was just plain slow. Anyway, it should be interesting to see how NDSU responds against much, much stiffer competition.

Our O-line is as good or better than most FBS schools, Seth Wilson is a stud, his father is Stanley Wilson former Bengal and brother played for the Lions, so he has the pedigree, as does Phoenix Sproles. Our TE’s are big And legit, this Bison offense could be the best ever at 1AA.

Zeb is certainly more proven than Shough at this point. Very true.

I would have to do more research to be honest. I know Iowa State went through a bunch of qbs recently and all of them fared well. I am not sure if his transfer was because of how the competition shook out. He is an Iowa State transfer, correct?

I know our team is very vocal about backing Shough on social media and more than the usual. It seems there is a lot of belief in him and he has a lot of leadership qualities. I would probably go with him on these intangibles, especially with the constricted timeframe.

He’s also worked a lot with the twos on the oline. That alone is meaningful.

[EC8CH]

I know our team is very vocal about backing Shough on social media and more than the usual.

Sounds like he might have a fragile ego?

Our team was very vocal about it being an all out competition for the starting spot before Lance earned the spot. So much so that they brought in a Big12 transfer that summer.

[bisonduck]

Slough is the real deal, no doubt. I've seen him as well. The real question to me is if the Duck offense will have enough time to gel given no spring ball and a lot of new parts.

The new parts around him are 3 offensive linemen. We’re replacing 4 starters but Jones has started. We have a lot of journeymen to fill the other spots. Forsythe and Poutasi are upperclassmen. Mala is a juco that appeared in the 4 games and the staff was on the bubble about pulling his redshirt because he was that good.

I am excited to have good experienced skill players for Shough. Our skill players are the most talented we’ve seen in a long time.

Sorry in advance to use your post to make an example out of something that really chaps my hide.

I absolutely hate the term - "skill player". The term assumes that guys on the line are less skilled. I guaran fucking ty you that it takes more skill for a 300 pound guard to pull across the line, stepping through the QB's space and taking out a DE before the RB gets there than almost anything that we ask a WR to do. Don't even get me started with how talented C's, OT's, DT's, NG's, and DE's have to be for a team to succeed.

This term has so permeated the game that it affects the kids just learning. My 7th-8th grade team always has a bunch of kids coming in where daddy thinks he's a special skill player but he's really built for the line. The earlier we get to those kids, the more time they get understanding how enormously important they are to the success of the team. We really celebrate our OL and DL. We give them extra benefits. I kick any of our team's coaches in the ass if they ever use the term "skilled player". I usually only have to do it once a season.

Sorry, tirade done. Carry on.

I am a fiend for O line play. Games are won and lost, more often than not, on the O line. All NDSU fans should recognize that, even if we have had a very, very long string of high level QB play and great defense. I'm always rooting for my NFL teams to take a tackle or center in the first round, with few exceptions.

The line play is where it’s at but I’ve learned the last few years that mediocre WR and HB matter too. We’ve had great oline play but WR and HB play has stymied us. Oline play will always be emphasized by Cristobal.

All bravado aside, I'm concerned about our defense in this game. I know that their offense has some big shoes to fill but I feel like our incoming front 7 is the weakest that we've had for awhile and will need a little time to gel. I can't help but be frustrated by Jabrill's departure. Fucker. (Just kidding.)

On offense, I feel like their corners will be able to shut down most of the deep passing game and if they double CW, Trey will have a hard time finding open WR's. I really like Pheonix but don't see him as the elite talent that Watson is. If Oregon's DL is really disciplined, Trey will have a hard time bailing on the pass and tucking it to run. I feel like in order for the Bison have big success, we'll need to have a really active TE passing game to open things up high and low.

One thing about Oregon's defense, however, is that they aren't always assignment sound. I saw it in every game of theirs that I watched last season, which was most of them. They just have so much athleticism that they recover extremely well. Perhaps our boys can take advantage of that.

I would love to see our big TE’s used big time along with Seth, Kobe, & Jalen Bussey, they will NOT stop us continuously. We will score at least 21 points minimum, I will wager 1000.00 on that!

The way you play the game, 21 points is the ceiling. Oregon will make you drive 13 plays. There won’t be enough clock for more.

The Oregon defense was scratching the surface last year and was great. This year the defense will be elite. The best talent on the defense were first year rotational players. Mykael Wright and Kayvon Thibodeaux are first round talents. Mase Funa at OLB is a 260 wrecking ball. Brandon Dorlus just kept inserting himself in the DL rotation and played his best against UTAH and Wisconsin. I expect all four to take a big leap forward.

I feel like in order for the Bison have big success, we'll need to have a really active TE passing game to open things up high and low.

One thing about Oregon's defense, however, is that they aren't always assignment sound. I saw it in every game of theirs that I watched last season, which was most of them. They just have so much athleticism that they recover extremely well. Perhaps our boys can take advantage of that.

CW has elite speed but would you consider him an elite route runner? Seems like he lives on go and seam routes because everyone can’t stop your run.

Right. Because that the scheme. Not sure what the question is given our scheme(s). The guy gets fantastic separation, very often. Everyone absolutely must respect his speed and having him run deep a lot of the time is just as good as blocking on the edge. He takes the corner and sometimes a high safety out of position for the run game. The awesome thing is that he's a pretty good blocker, very tenacious. We had a ton of long running plays last year where he was completely occupying his guy 30, 40, and 50 yards downfield. The dude is a stud. Not sure why he isn't on your team. Maybe it is his haircut...

If there was a flaw anywhere in Trey's work last year, it was recognizing/anticipating Watson's moment of separation before it happened and sometimes similar issues to the slot receiver running around in the middle of the field.

[Bisonator98]

The way you play the game, 21 points is the ceiling. Oregon will make you drive 13 plays. There won’t be enough clock for more.

The Oregon defense was scratching the surface last year and was great. This year the defense will be elite. The best talent on the defense were first year rotational players. Mykael Wright and Kayvon Thibodeaux are first round talents. Mase Funa at OLB is a 260 wrecking ball. Brandon Dorlus just kept inserting himself in the DL rotation and played his best against UTAH and Wisconsin. I expect all four to take a big leap forward.

How did this great defense give up 31 to Arizona State?

As good as Lance is, he has not shown the elite arm talent that Daniels showed in that game. He's clearly got discipline but if you saw that ASU game, you would have seen very impressive downfield throwing (they had TD throws of 57 and 81 yards). Nor does Lance have the WR talent to throw to that ASU had in that game. Moreover, ASU put 10 of the points on the board on consecutive drives that started after picking off Herbert. So 24 of those 31 came on long plays or short fields. So that was the bad game by the D. On the flip side, they gave up a total of 50 points to USC, Colorado, CAL, Arizona and OSU. And I suspect Oregon's offense will be quite effective at keeping the D off the field with their superior offensive personnel, which is the real reason Oregon should win this game comfortably.

Agreed, which is why Oregon fans feel so good about the team. They trailed UW by 14 in the 2nd half and won. They trailed Wisconsin late and won. They trailed WSU late and won. Of course that was just last season. The season before they pulled off comebacks against UW and ASU, plus came from way back against Utah and WSU only to fall short. They have shown an ability to take a team's best shot, get off the ground and get the W. How many times did NDSU do that last season?

Ndsu just plays poor teams. They aren’t any good. Oregon is really good and are VERY snappy dressers.

If the game doesn’t become another Covid victim you will see a very boring Oregon kicking tail on an FCS team. NDSU has pretty much already waived the white flag for this one. Hope Oregon takes it easy on them.

Oregon plays behemoths all year long like USC, CAL, Colorado, Arizona, and Oregon State. REAL competition- and they easily conquered them.

And against the SUPER TOUGH teams Oregon was over .500.

Keep pumping up the stats. That will be a big help in this matchup.

You aren’t attempting to convince yourself and others these stats matter, FBS is FAR superior, and this is all true.

It is a champion mindset. There is no real difference between 1st and 2nd place.

Wow...this went bonkers.

Oregon’s d this year is not the 2019 version. It will be better and most likely a lot better. Oregon gave up some points but in the end it was a top 10 defense looking at advanced metrics.

NDSU plays a slow methodical style and so do a lot of your opponents. That depresses score lines . As someone mentioned earlier, NDSU went 16-0 with some subpar performances. ASU was our SIU game. It just happens that ASU has a pulse. NDSU inexplicably couldn’t tackle in the first half and made egregious penalties. SIU didn’t realize the forward pass had been invented.

Also, a GA WR coach for Oregon met with ASU brass before the game and before the end of the year was hired by ASU as their WR coach. Infer from that what you will. It can be a dirty business.
I have a feeling there is an ass whooping in store for ASU in 2020.

Btw, my question on CW was not an indictment on him. If the run game is not working and he can’t rely on seam and go routes, do you see him as someone that can run great routes?

I'm not sure on that as I don't watch him every play and haven't gone back to re-watch games BUT there are times when the coaches found ways to get the ball in his hands without having to pitch it 50 yds downfield. He averaged 12.5 yards a carry(even if you want to play the but/if game without his 70 yard run he average 8.5) and also catching short balls(think screen, short hit) where he ran for 50 yards after catch. So I guess all that to say that if he isn't fast enough to run by Oregon's DB or catch them sleeping we will find ways to put the ball in his hands.

It seems over the years NDSU has had that smaller not often used WR that catches every damn 3rd down pass at the right time. Which is crazy to me because it happened so often that you would think it's an easy key for the D.

Classic west coast offense. One of the few teams that truly runs a script anymore. Adjust after first quarter and try to hit a couple plays they’ve seen have a chance to pop. (Traps, pre-snap manipulation, TE seams, probably at least a couple gadget plays). I’m sure we’ll mix up max pro and quick hitters. Try to run lance a bit to try to keep LBs at the line of scrimmage then run routes behind them.

Coaches typically have been very good at game planning for the big game. Beating FBS teams during this run it’s been apparent who the better coaching staff was on that day. That will need to be the case for NDSU to be competitive. This is this coaching staff’s first game as a true underdog so we’ll see how they do.

Yeah, lot of respect for NDSU and their staff/culture. The one thing about being a script team is you really have to be efficient in the run game. If you’re not and you get a negative play or two it can really kill a drive. I fully anticipate that NDSU staff will have a great plan that will give their guys the best chance at success. Will be fun to watch the chess match because Joe Moorhead and Andy Avalos are probably the best the pac-12 has to offer in terms of coordinators.

Just from what I know watching a ton of Oregon is that more times than not defensively they will air on the side of leaving the DB’s on an island and bringing bodies to account for the QB in the run game. Lance will have to make some throws against tight coverage under pressure for NDSU to have a chance.

[OrygunBison]

I feel like this staff will approach this FBS game a bit differently than our past groups, at least offensively and on special teams. In the past, we've always been quite conservative in our offensive playcalling against FBS teams, really relying on establishing the run and basing everything off of that...just like the way we play everyone else. TR isn't going to stray from that tremendously but we saw last year that he and Entz like to put a few other nuggets into the game. This Bison offense is by far the most talented (IMO) group we've ever had and I can totally see Tyler being more creative at times since he has so many weapons. What I WILL say is that both TR and ME seem to be very, very good at studying a team and their tendencies then exploiting the knowledge to great success. Those guys have had a decent amount of time to contemplate and scheme over the last 2-1/2 months and I feel like they'll be incredibly prepared.

I’m sorry that I think Oregon is the better team and it’s going to take a pretty special performance from Lance through the air to win on the road against a P5 conference favorite that returns the #2 defense in FBS according to SP+. Obviously just a homer.

Show me where I’ve ever stated that Lance is not only really good but will be the best QB on the field in September?

Perhaps I didn’t emphasize the light-hearted tone I intended with my post. :)

My comment was more about the outcome of the game than QB play. But I will say that before you went silent on this board, Lance was not yet projected as a top 5 QB prospect in next years’ draft... I would THINK that would alter your score prediction a bit, but it still looks like a lopsided victory by your estimation.

That’s all I was pointing out.
