Shammy is going to be out for revenge.

For that time we beat them in the title game.

Or that time we beat them in another title game.

Or that time we embarrassed them in the playoffs.

Or that other time we embarrassed them in the playoffs.

Or for that time that Steve Walker went the length of the field in two plays and took their soul mortal kombat style.

Or for that time lakes refused to leave their forum.

Or for all the other times lakes refused to leave their forum.

Anyway the bearkat (wtf?) is mad bro.

Sam Houston fans are sooo pumped, they think this is NDSU Revenge, getting us in their stadium!!

Oh I hope our players are jacked up over this game!!

[gabisonfan]

The Bison team that played the 2nd half will win the Championship! No doubt.

[Kujava23]

LETS GO BISON!!! Kick the Bearcats ASS!!!

Sam Houston State has FOCUSED their defense to stop the run----this spring they have allowed 51.8 ypg before their playoff game today...LOL

I saw a front 7 that is focused on running up field....that won't be the case next Saturday/Sunday---guess we will see the fight in the "Bearcat"

Usually they are really finesse

So, I went and watched and did some research on SH not overly nervous about this team. Their D/O line doesn't look to big but seem to be fast off the ball. I beleive they are a sack happening team thou.

So, for you people that really know talent, how do we matchup against this team? What strengths/weaknesses do you see from both sides of the ball? I a fan and follower but I have no clue when it comes up to comparing teams.

Just an fyi, Patton is a true freshman that has played a lot this season because of injuries. Ethan Hagler was been moved to center and he has never played center until he got to SHSU. I hope Anderson's injury isnt bad where he can return next week or there is no telling what you will see along the OL . Moses Johnson missed several games until the UIW game. I am guessing Jalen North is out for the season. The starting right tackle from last year, Peyton Field, has been out all spring season with an injury.

How much do you think you will lose in terms of not having the playoff game at home? You definitely have a sweet home field advantage when games are played in the FargoDome. Other teams don't usually match is when they are the home team, but it definitely moves the "environment" needle from being so much in your favor.

This year... Maybe 3 points. Without full capacity it's the same as almost all other home field advantages. Typical full capacity years, 7-14 points. The dome has definitely piled on the points over the years and likely pushed the Bison over the top in a couple of really close games.

The Bison have a better playoff win percentage in Texas than they do in Fargo.

So far this spring the Bearkat run defense is allowing a miniscule 1.78 yards per carry and 58.9 rush yards per game. I'm sure they haven't seen a run game yet like NDSU is bringing down there but this defense looks to be much more formidable than past Sam teams that NDSU has stomped in the playoffs have been. Their run defense at least.... they're still allowing 305+ passing yards per game so it'll be interesting to see what the Bison offensive game plan is and whether they let Cam sling it around a bit???

I watched some of SHSU yesterday. I don't want to be rude but 3-0 Monmouth is about all they can handle. When our boys push on them all day they are going to break just like EWU. Sorry, to any Bearkat fans reading this but if you are betting money you know you will pick NDSU too.

Interesting stat, on its face. I’d be interested in knowing whether they have played anyone this year who is a committed run-first offense. Also, given the the amount of points SH has been putting up, how committed to a run-game could opponents be? I don’t know the answer to my questions, but certainly some variables to consider.

Edit: part of my point is that NDSU is clearly committed to run-first offense. And I meant to quote Prof Chaos post about SH run D stats.

It's definitely questionable about whether their run defense is that good or is it just their opponents weren't that good. The only top 20 team in rush yards per game they played in the regular season was Nicholls who averaged 263 yards rushing this spring and Sam Houston's defense held them to 118 yards on 37 carries so even though it was a blowout Nicholls still ran the ball quite a bit. But it looks like they routinely held their opponents well under season averages. McNeese averaged 178 rush yards per game and SH held them to 37. Northwestern St averaged 168 rush yards per game and SH held them to 43. Incarnate Word averaged 175 rush yards per game and SH held them to 35. That's some pretty impressive stuff against multiple rushing attacks that put up some pretty decent numbers outside of their games against SH.

Although stats this spring can probably be even more misleading than normal since the only non-conference games the entire conference played that wasn't against a D2 or a transitioning D1 team was Southeastern Louisiana playing SIU and SIU racked up a whopping 424 yards rushing against them (180 yards per game over SLU's season average allowed and 230 yards over SIU's season averaged gained). There is very little defense played in that conference but Sam Houston's defense was head, shoulders, waist, and knees above anyone else in that league this spring.

I agree the Bison are a run first offense, but they sometimes need to keep a D honest by several well timed short passes and some occasional medium passes. Seems when teams are dedicated to stopping the run, and do well against the often unimaginative run plays, it can cause some brief Bison possessions. The solution is to pass to the TE and fullback more! Not just in the red zone. Those passes to wide receivers on the sideline near the line of scrimmage don't work very well. Hello Tyler?
Even the announcers for yesterdays game said the Bison needed to pass to open up the run....the opposite of the what is usually works.

[CAS4127]

Referencing this post and Chaos’ last one:

1. It’s guaranteed that we are going to find out how good SH’s run D is, cuz are gonna try to run the ball. I mean, we all likely know what our first O play will be, right?

2. From what little I was able to see of the SH/Monmouth game yesterday, it was still clear to me that there was a big difference in foot-speed in favor of SH D vs. Monmouth O.

3. Perhaps SH is fast and good enough in secondary to make opponents one-dimensional and stack the box against run—we’ll see. Think JMU v. NDSU in ‘16, or whatever year it was they beat us in semi’s.

Also, and random, it’s possible that, despite all of the crappy play we have seen at times by NDSU this Spring, that we are one Watson catch (drop) from being the #1 seed—assuming the balance of that last drive against SDSU led to a TD. Let that sink in. IOW, we are as good as anyone in the field.

This right here. This year's team has lacked consistency but has the horses to compete against any team remaining. With Cam locked in as starter hopefully that stabilizes the offense, and let's hope we never see tackling as shitty as that SDSU game ever again.

Maybe the wrong thread for this but is it possible that we redshirt any of the true freshmen that are being playmakers this spring for the possibility of having them for “6” seasons (5 playing and one redshirting)? The way that these true freshmen have been playing has been awesome to watch. I don’t know if I would or not.

What was good to see, it was the young guys, #18 Eubanks and #31 Wisniewski who sparked the D with their want to on tackling yesterday. True Freshman stepping up and setting the tone. Both redshirt freshman Mostaert boys finishing off a slippery QB too.

That was great to see—all of it. You never know what may spark your teammates. I also thought the interception by Dom was huge, given our first drive after half stalled and it was only a 1 point game. Great play by the corner too, and it felt like Dom came out of nowhere—>instincts??

Get out of the way and let them play.

Also, and a footnote (and again, I’m bad with player names) but we have a couple of young LBs on kickoff coverage that really pass the eye test for me. Long, rangy and like to hit.

Maybe the wrong thread for this but is it possible that we redshirt any of the true freshmen that are being playmakers this spring for the possibility of having them for “6” seasons (5 playing and one redshirting)? The way that these true freshmen have been playing has been awesome to watch. I don’t know if I would or not.

This spring is a free season. No eligibility is used for anyone.

Edit* I see now maybe you mean redshirt in the fall. Gonna be a lot of unusual choices for coaches to make after this odd season. Hopefully they find a way to make the best of it. It why they get paid the big bucks

One might be Wisniewski. He looks long out there. Agree that kick coverage is the absolute best place to watch for up and coming players. Ever year it seems like at least one player emerges. At one time it was players like Emanuel and DeLuca.

This right here. This year's team has lacked consistency but has the horses to compete against any team remaining. With Cam locked in as starter hopefully that stabilizes the offense, and let's hope we never see tackling as shitty as that SDSU game ever again.


With emphasis on “tackling”. We were “there” many times, but just lacked the desire (intensity CaBison??) IMO to win those/many one-on-one battles. Tackling really does, at times, come down to wanting it more.

I'm curious what others think but since Entz's presser after the game when he talked about getting out of the players way and how that led to pressure/sacks on the QB it seemed to me that around the same time our tackling dramatically improved. I wonder if there was more "Getting out of the way" than just the D line and that simplifying things helped with tackling. Players just playing hard and fast and not wondering if they should or shouldn't every time the squared up to take on a ball carrier.

Letting the Dline T-off was huge for the entire defense. We played zone almost the entire game, and when a QB isn’t forced or hurried to throw, secondary ends up flat-footed/on their heals waiting. Hurried/distressed QB is limited to where he can go with ball and that, IMO = allowing secondary to react, trust what they see and play fast toward that. The shitload of zone-soft spots disappear a bit when QB can’t just sit in pocket and watch routes unfold.

That is good to hear because depth at LB is always an issue it seems and I'd love to see some more length at that position like we used to. Cox and Kaczor are great but are really both tweeners. Would love to see some prototypical size at OLB in future classes. Like you said ranginess, cover and fill more space in coverage.

It seems Cox has struggled a bit this season. Seems to get pushed aside on some tackle attempts and has missed a few angles while in the backfield.

I think he would have more confident tackling mentality if he could put on another 10 pounds. He likely will before he is done, but with the short off-season we are gonna have, it may not happen before next fall.

From experience, and admittedly, when I first got on the field at 200, and was dealing with a RB or TE 10-30 pounds heavier, it wasn’t a fun experience at point of contact many times. Add a bit of nicks, bruises and soreness, and it was worse.

Because of the QBs style of play the coaching staff wanted to Contain his play so he couldnt do what he ended up doing. So they took the kids gloves off and turned the D loose to pressure him. Letting them pin their ears back in itself makes you play faster.

I honestly don’t know which beat down brisco was apart of? Was it the 2 times SH came to Fargo and lost 100-20 or in 12 when they got skunked by 4 touchdowns?

They all blend in. I remember the name and the usual hype from SH fans that we’ve never seen their Nfl caliber WRs, heisman snuffed QB etc.


Edited: just looked. He was on the teams that came to Fargo. Funny after embarrassing him multiple times that he still won the Payton award... twice. Did he thank the southland conference for being so pud in his acceptance speech?

What are the chances that some of the younger players took on a leadership role for their first time and got the sidelines fired up? With so few upper classmen, maybe it took a few games for young guys to feel like they can be a leader. Or maybe the coaches just told them to quit thinking so much and tackle the guy with the ball.

Might actually be good for the team to play in a road game atmosphere again.

They've got some beefy fellas on the left side of their OL (345 and 340)...

On the flip side, their leading tackler is a 5-9 LB who is, as you might expect, pretty quick. Their defensive line is all seniors (really liked what I saw of #55, Jahari Kay.)

Last week there was so much pessimism about the EWU matchup it gave me confidence. This week there's so much optimism about the Sam Houston matchup it makes me nervous.

I think it's my inner Vikings fan coming out due to the Vikings-like inconsistency the Bison have shown this spring. I just get the feeling like Sam's defense, particularly against the run, is going to be a lot better than we're giving it credit for.

Anyway—back to the game.

SH runs a 3-3-5 D and sounds like they are very confident in their DBs to run man coverage. Gonna have to be able to throw the ball some me thinks.

Throw to open up the run again. I like it. We have too many playmakers on our team to bang our heads against the wall play after play.

Well, to be fair, among other OCs over the past years as well.

I listened to SH’s HC the other day, and he seemed real confident, as did their play-by-play guy, that SH’s D was gonna match up really well with our O.

Also, sounds like their QB is a legit 4.4 guy who was looked at by other programs as a possible WR, but SH got him because they told him if he showed them he could play QB, they were going to play him at QB.

How is their 3-3-5 this year compared to their 3-3-5 when we played them in the semi's or quarter's a few years ago? I know that 3-3-5 thought they were really good and it was trash at best against our offensive line.

Maybe, we'll see. From their Monmouth game they have some big athletic guys on their Dline (one DT was particularly impressive). Their linebackers looked fast and aggressive too chasing down a lot of runs to the perimiter.

Can they stop a power run game like NDSU's straight into their face though? People will accuse Roehl of being unimaginative as a play caller, but if it was me, that would be a key part of the gameplan to see if Sammy has finally cracked that nut. Three yards and a cloud of dust until they prove they finally have the stones to stop it.

A lot of blitzes on early downs with man coverage. Boom or Bust defense if you ask me. In 3rd and long they'd rush four and sit back in coverage.

3-3-5 just never sounds like a good idea against NDSU to me.

Their DB's were panicking in man coverage and getting flagged for PI constantly against Monmouth. Didn't look like much for ball skills there.

[Son of a Bison]

I think our tight ends make the difference in this game as both blockers and receivers. So versatile. They are much bigger than their LBs too. If their LBs blitz, hope our TE get behind them for some catches.

Yes. Can their defense man up against NDSU's pulling lineman, TEs an Fullbacks and consistently take on those blockers? I wouldn't run sideline to sideline against this team before making them stop you up the middle. No reason to get cute right off the bat against this Sam Houston D. If they think they are bigger and badder than their past teams, give them the chance to prove it. I doubt they will.

SH will attempt to penetrate LOS /move the LOS back and into pulling guards/power blocking schemes. I could see us having to test whether zone blocking will work better running off the edges a bit.

I'm expecting to see plenty of runs to the boundary. Sam still has alignment issues and overloads to the field side.

Over the years it's been teams that manage to cut NDSU's puller that have had the most success. I'd hope the staff have a plan to counter that by now. Most successful team I recall at that what Charleston Southern. They had a fantastic defensive game plan.

Run quicker power up the middle and hit the zone stuff on the edge. Running power off tackle is where I think they have the best chance of gumming up the works with the power run concepts. The pin and pull stuff around the edge would be a mistake against their penetrating defense.

Was watching some of their last regular season game against Incarnate Word and the announcers mentioned that SHSU turns the ball over something like 2.5 times a game. I like that stat.

Depends which side you drive on.

I did hear a SH beat writer say even though their D has been tough against the run it was all against spread/speed running offenses and they haven't fast a hard nosed running attack like NDSU's. He was saying that everyone down there including the SH program are viewing this as the first real test of whether they have cracked the nut of being too soft to play well outside their conference in the playoffs.

Yep—big difference playing a run-first committed program that actually (for the most part) is good at it. It’s one thing to proclaim you are a run-first program, but quite another to actually be committed to it and be good at it.

For the season fumble/loss was 16-8 and 5 picks.

In their playoff game against Monmouth, TOP was 39:41 to 20:19 favoring Monmouth. 1st downs 27-9 also Monmouth. SHSU QB went 12-25. Total offense 257 yds split pretty evenly between rush/pass.

SHSU was lucky to come away with the win. Monmouth dropped an end zone TD pass a couple of plays before the game winning interception on 4th down.

How much you want to bet Sam Houston and rarely even faced an offense that has offensive lineman in 3 points stances?

NDSU is going to murder them. Just like the old days, those 3 yard runs with a 7 point spread in the second quarter are going to turn into 9 yard runs and a 21 point spread in the 4th. Take their very will to play the game away.

[Kujava23]

It seems Cox has struggled a bit this season. Seems to get pushed aside on some tackle attempts and has missed a few angles while in the backfield.

I agree--room for improvement
