[Kevin]

Excited to see Zeb. Expecting big things from Seth this year as well.

Spring season feels weird to say the least but happy the wait is over.

[Bison03]

Continuing the domination.

Bison: 31
Flightless Birds: 9

[WeAreThePride]

Go Bison. Almost feels like we might get back to normal.

[HandoEX]

This is actually happening, hell yeah!! Lots to look forward to with so many new guys stepping into new roles. Go Bison!

[SDbison]

About time for some NDSU football......Go Bison!

[bruinbison]

Things I’ll be watching include:

- QB - of course - Zeb Noland’s 1st start!
But also, who is 2nd QB in? If that happens today, is it RFr Logan Graetz? He has prototype QB size at 6’ 4”, but a little lean still at a listed 213. Or is it the highly rated true freshman recruit? Cam Miller is 6’ 1” 205, more similar in size to a young Easton Stick. Miller is 247’s highest rated NDSU recruit in the 247 era (followed by Soph LB Luke Weerts and FR TE Joe Stoffel).
Bisonville missed having a spring game where QB play/development was something fun to watch :group: :hungry: :cool:

- Speaking of TE’s, will the Top 2 be utilized more in the passing game? An annual question it seems...:nod:
Who is the 3rd TE in the game? The highly rated Stoffel, or the more experienced Austin Avery? Or is it wine country product Travis Yohnke? (Carlos MN - Parkers Prairie HS)

- With this being the 2020 season, followed shortly next August by the 2021 season, is this the year all position groups rotate players??? Especially thinking of the LB group here. When, in recent memory, have the Bison regularly used their bench for the LB’s? Nada......RB’s, WR’s, TE’s, DE’s, DT’s, 5th DB......Yes......those groups substituted each possession......but not LB, not very much OL, really not too much at DB.

- OL depth - One debate during the off-season was the size of the Rams. The starting 5 is normal huuge Bisonsize......But the second 5 is a bit different. The loss of the 2 seniors - Radunz to the NFL draft process and Schoening to his career choice - really changed the look of Bison depth. Two, yes 2 true freshman on the 2 deep depth chart. When was the last time that happened? And a RFr also on the 2 deep. Perhaps all 3 are the next Ram version of Billy Turner/Joe Haeg/Dillon Radunz or perhaps depth will need to be developed. More likely it is a combination of the 2 - but am hoping for an All-Conference player or two from the group down the road.

- Finally, as I have rambled on too much on a quiet Sunday (unlike Saturday......whew)
Is there a slight style change in the offense with Zeb Noland at the helm? More quick passing game? Quick-release reads available due to less QB runs? How do Braylon Henderson/RaJa Nelson get utilized? Is the QB under center a lot to take advantage of play-action?
Will be fun to watch! Go Bizon!!!

[Professor Chaos]

Excited to see the emergence of some new playmakers on the defensive side of the ball. Tony Pierce, Javier Derritt, Jasir Cox, Luke Weerts, and Jayden Price are my picks for emerging stars.

I also am hopeful to see a reloaded O-line ready to grade the road and maintain their dominance.

[EC8CH]

What sorcery is this?

[scottietohottie]

Is that the golden boy Ric Flair in that broadcast booth?

[NDSU1980]

37-13 Bison

[bruinbison]

Here was an interesting trivia bit from one of the Vindicator articles b15on posted



..... Stepping in for Lance is Iowa State-transfer Zeb Noland. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound senior only has limited playing time at North Dakota State, but he did earn a few starts with the Cyclones. YSU coach Doug Phillips and his staff have a little familiarity with Noland. Phillips and defensive coordinator Joe Schaefer were assistant coaches at ISU when Noland was a redshirt freshman......

[heffray]

Is that the golden boy Ric Flair in that broadcast booth?

Lol I was thinkin the same thing... nice ‘do, Jeffy!

[heffray]

35-6 Bison.

2 air, 2 ground, 1 defensive. Slow start but classic Bison second half barrage.

[scottietohottie]

Lol I was thinkin the same thing... nice ‘do, Jeffy!

A whooooooooooooooooooooooooo after a td would be pretty cool.

[heffray]

Lol, yessss... get some ropes up in there for him to stand on, too!

[SoCalBison]

It's been so long, I don't even remember how to predict a score. Guess I'll just sit back today and enjoy watching the Bison stomp the birds.

I thought the 2019 team had a lot of questions to be answered. This team makes that one look like an open book. I don't think that any FCS team in history has lost a combo like Radunz, Jabril Cox, and Trey Lance in one season, much less Tuszka, ZOlson, Ellefson, Hendricks, Bridges, Brooks, Cofield, etc.

This could be Youngstown State's "2003 NDSU at Montana" moment (a very unlikely win by a proud program fallen on hard times against a program at its peak.)

Come on, defense!

We are way too spoiled. Just realized watching Zeb's last two throws that when you watch other teams qbs over the years almost none of them can zip a ball like that and place it right where it needs to be.

He's not going to be Trey or Stick but I can tell already he's better than 80% of FCS qbs.

The absence of lance cant be understated.

[Gully]

Looks like we're going to need to lean on our D this year.

[23Bison]

D looks good. Not sure about the secondary yet because they haven’t had to do much but defend the run. Offense I think is trying to get a feel for everyone at live speed and hopefully picks up a bit here in the second half. I think we could score another 21. Should get at least 10 more.

NDSUSR gets excited at tumbleweed rolling down Hoople Main Street I guess

I hope your kids all get married to people from Hoople.

What's the population of Hoople anyway? More or less than YSU total offense?

[El_Chapo]

HAHA. that would be poetic

at least Hooples head coach would use 3 to's b4 half and get the ball back midfield with 50 secs left

[phxbison]

Zeb isn't exactly throwing great balls ! A lot of his passes you couldn't catch with a net.

[IzzyFlexion]

Zero 1st half penalties.....that's good.....i guess.

[23Bison]

My guess is having 1 WR out, probably 2 RBs out now ( I think Gonella) is dinged up) isn’t helping.
Edit: I see he’s back in.

[TAILG8R]

O looks slow. Slow in developing but also slow against the d backs/lbs of Youngstown.

hes down. i forgot YSU gets ball 2nd half. another reason why you try and get it back b4 half. irritates the F outta me that it happens to NDSU all the time

[El_Chapo]

love Kasczar. he comes up and hits

[TAILG8R]

Irritating. I figured under Coach K it was because he was pretty conservative. Was hoping Matt the gambler Entz would be better at such things.

This Defense is dominant or YSU’s Offense is awful...

[El_Chapo]

wide open YSU TE in middle.

[IzzyFlexion]

need to dial up the pressure here.

[oldmantutters]

Got away with one there

In all honestly I give zero fucks about this just move the ball and score.

[TAILG8R]

Was great but then the next play I see the super slow motion developing play again. I can't put my finger on it but it just looks like the O is running in mud.

RPO’s are sloooowww today.
If Noland isn’t going to run much, why not decisive quick-hitting run plays?

Me likey pitches to Kobe Johnson

Edit: And Jalen Bussey too!

[heffray]

Good to see Gonnella back out there.

[TAILG8R]

The pitch is the play of the day!

Bussey. 1st touchdown!!

18-0

[heffray]

J-Buss? Right, guys?

[HerdistheWord]

Bussey. 1st touchdown!!

18-0

1st touchdown since his 2 TD game last season...

[MNLonghorn10]

Did you guys know the bison defense is still pitching a shutout?

[TAILG8R]

1st touchdown since his 2 TD game last season...Lol you're telling me Lee is wrong??? I don't believe you.

Except he's totally wrong, like every other statement out of his mouth. What a fool.

I have in fact noticed.

[rutlandbison]

KVLY production = trash
Zeb Noland = Nick Mertens 2.0

[bisoneer]

Will definitely keep him out of the fall too

What is the attendance???

[Kevin]

What is the attendance???

9500 I think.

[BisonVifte]

6578 announced

[El_Chapo]

Tucker with a great trackdown of QB for TFL.

they are goin all 4 downs here

[Kevin]

6578 announced

I was close.

[bisoneer]

From tv it looks like 4500

[El_Chapo]

NDSU -26 bet in peril after that YSU TD.

not exactly happy with our secondary. Dawson out there jumping around on sideline, wish he was in

[TAILG8R]

Might have to eat my words about Zeb

Also love how Lee doesn't pronounce Mauch the same any two times during a broadcast.

He played this fall so I don’t think he’d eligible this spring.

[El_Chapo]

the bison fatique thread should be trending right now....

[TAILG8R]

I'll say it for like the 4th time today. The offense looks slooooooow. I know it's one game but with YSU having 75% their team who've never played a college game we don't look good. Maybe Kolpack will get his wish and SIU will be the end of the streak.

[23Bison]

Well I’m not all that pleased with the O.

[IzzyFlexion]

Don't think I've ever seen a punt return team take a timeout before the snap.

They are down to just 1 TO.

[El_Chapo]

Good Spin move Tony Pierce for the Sack

[reformedUNDfan]

I woulda faked it, Entz might have too

[El_Chapo]

Randy Watson!! Sexually Chocolate (coming to america ref)

nice end around Christian!

[bisoneer]

Our offensive plays seem slow to develop, like there is a lot of rust.
And lots of turf monsters!!

Way to go Dexter Busse!!

[TAILG8R]

Also again the quick pitch is the best play we have today.

Has me curious how the option would do..............

[KSBisonFan]

Has Ogbu played today?

[bison22]

Where is Luepke?

[El_Chapo]

worst gameday thread ever
kevin wake me up when its over,

[ndsubison1]

Is Quincy Patterson eligible? Just curious.

[JMB]

I think we need a fat guy with a number zero.

[bison22]

Offense looked rough but no Sproles, no Mathis, no Luepke, Seth Wilson hurt on 2nd play of the game plus 3 new olineman.

[Kevin]

My understanding is that he's not since he played last fall at the FBS level.

[Kevin]

I'm all for a wildcat triple option formation in which kobe plays qb and bussey plays tailback.

fullback can be leupke or one of the TE's.

Yeah I will take anything over that O performance. Not great.

This is all accurate. I expect them to play better next week with some of these weapons back.

[tony]

I'm not sure what to think of Zeb's game - he's in game manager mode right now which will be fine for most MVFC games. I also like how he really zipped it in there, but the completion percentage needs to get up to 65%+.

THIRTY NINE. And it's going to be a battle to extend that streak every week as long as it lasts. I love that!

[ndsubison1]

My understanding is that he's not since he played last fall at the FBS level.

For some reason I thought all that was lifted.

He is on the roster as #16:

[Gully]

Ugly win but as has been pointed out, missing some pieces and a lot of new pieces.

Zeb throws it with some zip but it looks like he really has to wind up and throw it as hard as he can. Kind of like the difference in throwing a baseball to show off for a gun vs. actually pitching. Maybe it's just that his throwing motion is different they Trey's so I'm noticing it, but I kept thinking that his accuracy was off because he was trying to throw too hard.

Thinking about this more, once YSU has their really long drive which seemed to never end, I think NDSU just decided not to get cute and just keep the clock running, which is fine. Taking the long view, they were able to play a lot of people and not expose Zeb to a lot of shots. Winning and playing a ton of players is perfect for the 2020/21 and 2021 seasons.

Totally agree was about as good as possible, NDSU will be fine at qb

I am more than happy to give up an 11 minute scoring drive in the third quarter while up by 3 scores.

It seemed different than the normal start of football in the fall. Maybe it's because the local sportscasts have to devote time to high school tournaments instead of just football and MLB during August.
