Common opponents: SDSU and EWU. The Bobcats appeared to win the game against SDSU, but a TD was overturned. Final score: 16-20. They crushed EWU (it was 41-7 at the half.)

Montana State's defense stonewalled SDSU in the first half which is quite a contrast to how helpless they made NDSU's defense look. They use two QBs like NDSU and run them even more.

The Big Sky stats say #1 scoring offense, #2 scoring defense, #1 total offense, #3 total defense, #1 rushing offense, #4 rushing defense, #9 passing offense (yardage) but #2 in efficiency, #2 passing defense (yards) / #3 in defensive efficiency, #1 in net punting, #1 in sacks. Basically a pretty solid team all-around.

Montana State will be tough but winnable. The team has the same Vigen system but better players. They've done a good job recruiting with NIL, increasing the budget, improving the stadium snd building an IPF and performance center in the same ballpark as our IPF. They are also bucking the trend of enrollment declines

Stop touchdown tommy and win. That simple.

Can we stop missing tackles in the middle? Not so simple.

This really is the question. So much of our run D especially up the middle has me scratching my head this year. So much over pursuit and poor gap control. Frustrating.

Our offense is going to have to outscore the Bobcats. I think they can, but having our front 7 force a few punts and create a couple turnovers would help matters.
If we cant stop their running game, we lose. That simple.

HAven't watch more than one minute of MSU games this year. We know they are QB rush heavy. Do they runs tend to go "up the middle" or are they usually to the outside or off tackle?

Chambers can throw the ball much better and is a more straightforward powerful runner. Any throw more than 10 yards downfield and Mellot has to shotput it out there. If they were smart they'd use Mellot like Taysom Hill.

I don’t follow the “net 61 since sacks count as rush attempts…” wouldn’t that make their net rush yards more since sacks are net negative?

Either way, the way they were gashing us up the middle, even into the 3rd, was not good and it doesn’t really matter what the numbers say.

There were some good looking runs in the UNI and SIU games but yesterday they were back to hesitating hitting the hole which means running into a clogged gap.

We'll need to find a way to stop the run, I'd like to see us run blitzing all game. Might give a up a big play down field occasionally but it's better then a slow death by having them run it down our throats all game. I'm confident our offense will put up points if we let Cam sling it. If Roehl goes into his stubborn run it into a wall mentality or QB runs every other play then we won't keep up with them. Time to open up the offense and out score them!

I haven't re-watched it, but, holy cow, I switched to the Youngstown State game - they were running a similar offense and, in comparison, our RBs looked like people my age walking up to a bank teller to attempt to deposit an Olive Garden coupon into their account (i.e. slow, not quite sure what was going on or where they were, and liable to drop the coupon.) If we have a RB 8 yards deep in the backfield, 50% of the time they meet a defender at the QB. I'm guessing that's why they put RaJa back there because he doesn't screw around back there and has great vision.

They've got to step it up. I know TaMerik can do it, Barika shows flashes, and TK... c'mon man.

Should be a close hard fought game. Cats haven't been as good later in the season, hopefully we have a couple players return to full strength. NDSU is having a down year but is still very dangerous. I think the team that wins this one is going to go on a run to the championship game.

One of our running issues is that we don’t do the read option out of the pistol. I hate that we don’t but I am not sure I have seen it all year. 100% of the time we line up that way we look to the sideline. I think we should do it out of the pistol as that is way more similar to our power I offense anyways. This brings up CAs point of knowing which okay is coming with which grouping we put on the field. Harbaugh wouldn’t even need to steal our signals.

I have been wildly disappointed in our RBs this season. I thought TW would’ve gone for 1000 yards this year in his sleep. Part of that is our QBs getting 20 carries a game, but it’s on the RBs to run with authority and make some friggin plays.

In most of those QB carries, it's the QB who decides who keeps the ball. Cole Payton does some QB power, but even if it's read-option, he will keep the ball 99% of the time no matter what the defense is showing.

Great to have athletic qb to extend plays and put pressure on the d. Gives numbers to the qb run game. However their primary job is the throw the fucking football. Montana State messed that up. Not saying their qb's are terrible. But they cannot pick a d apart with any consistency. Plus side for them, they may not need to pass..... Game will be won or lost on QB missed tackles from our d. I would not gamble on this game. Anything could happen. Could see us blowing them out. Then blowing us out. Anything in between.

One thing Entz said at his presser yesterday that I liked was mentioning they need to treat MSU almost like an option team. I was thinking about that the last few days and my less than stellar football education tells me to limit the damage you have to be gap sound and trust each other to make the play. It comes down to one on one tackling(which will be an issue) but "flowing to the ball" can get you killed in this situation.

I used cliche terms(and maybe incorrectly) but it was easier than writing out entire definitions of what I think should happen.

I heard that too, "play them like an option team" which is true. So the best way to play an option team is to force their weakest option. Is that the "dive" with #32 running between the tackles, or the QB run on the edge, to the Pitch/RPO pass to TE. If our OC has his head out of his ass this week we can run inside power from the same formations, and the LB still has to watch for Tommy on the edge.

If our OC is on his game it is really difficult to stop, however he has tendency to get cute and throw in a play that loses yards (trick plays, reverses ect...) or he gets way to predictable based on formations.

I am hoping Vigen slapped him around a little bit and our OC calls a decent game but you never know what the gameplan is with this guy until it starts.

One thing Entz said at his presser yesterday that I liked was mentioning they need to treat MSU almost like an option team. I was thinking about that the last few days and my less than stellar football education tells me to limit the damage you have to be gap sound and trust each other to make the play. It comes down to one on one tackling(which will be an issue) but "flowing to the ball" can get you killed in this situation.

I used cliche terms(and maybe incorrectly) but it was easier than writing out entire definitions of what I think should happen.

Treating them like an option team just tags each player on defense with a specific offensive player they are responsible for and limits the defensive formations and movement. You pretty much run with the same personnel regardless of the offensive groupings and you recognize they're just trying to do the same things out of different formations.

See GA Southern when Heagle dismantled their triple option.

I would assume that they spent a good majority of last week scheming for Mont State...as they knew how bad Drake was. So I hope we're not just trying to install a different defense 5 days before the game.

But I also would think that Entz could very well be bold face lying, or at least keeping MSU guessing, because there really is not a logical reason to put your defensive strategy out there for all to hear.

At the end of the day, the scheme is only half the battle. You have to have guys that can make plays. You can obviously do things that would put the players in a better position to be successful, but that still doesnt matter if you cant wrap up or make a play in space.

My two biggest concerns on D are our ability to tackle one on one has been terrible and watching so many plays were the LB or safety coming up to fill a gap runs right at the blocker and dances with them while the ball carrier zips by.

For reference I watched the NDSU - Montana State national championship game last night. This year's Bison team is so different and not in a good way (slower, less confident, more mistake prone, poor tackling, lack of energy / fire, and not as physical / dominant). The team that beat Montana State had a defense that gave up some yards in chunks, but unlike this year's team would eventually make drive ending plays. The offense had Luepke, Watson, Gindorf and Babicz to make big plays. Miller did well then and has improved this year. Patterson's role is somewhat like Payton currently provides. In summary, this years offense has issues executing when playing big games, and the defense just can't make stops at critical times. On Saturday without some help on turnovers, and/or special teams making something good happen it looks like Montana State will win this game. Even with their recent struggles they still have home field advantage, lots of motivation to get a win and the Bison are not what they once were. Hope somehow they prove me wrong, show up with an attitude and play their best game.

This is exactly how I feel going into this game. We have to force some turnovers(which we’ve been pretty good at) and special teams has to play well (which we haven’t been good at) to win.

Against Drake, the defense was getting away with just diving at people shoulders first and making no attempt to wrap up. I doubt that'll work against Montana State. Heck, the second and third stringers were tackling better, for the most part.

On the plus side, Southern Illinois and Northern Iowa were huge games and the defense came to play for them. I don't care what people say about UNI, but beating them at their place on senior day was a pretty big deal.

Tried to figure out how that happens, or if just wrongly perceived by me. Are the younger guys better motivated, less entitled, or more talented? They are all coached the same. Maybe they play more instinctively and are less incumbered by complicated defenses (I believe CAS will agree with this). Gives me hope for future Bison defenses, but then who knows if coaching eventually holds them back.

I generally assume that when guys tackle like that they are banged up and/or gassed. Younger guys are fresher in both respects.

Anyway, it'd be awesome to win this game because I'm pretty sick of the "NDSU is a terrible playoff road team" drivel.

It doesn't make any sense either.

a. Historically, only one team has been good on the road in the playoffs: Youngstown State (I think that they got screwed because they were independent for most of those wins.)
b. Yes, NDSU is 1-2, but the reason those teams were on the road because they were an unseeded team playing a seeded team.
c. Yes, NDSU is 1-2, but the two teams they lost to, one in OT and one where NDSU had a 4th quarter lead, went on to win national championships.
d. NDSU is 9-1 on neutral site games against the best of the best. Neutral site games played 1000 miles away are not home games.

PFF ranks NDSU at 102 in the FCS at tackling, that's just pathetic. I know I throw a lot of shit Cam's way (and some of the things he does drive me crazy) but he IS good enough that the Bison would not have lost 3 games if the defense had the discipline to make the correct read to cover the correct gap, wrap up and make easy tackles, complete sacks instead of letting QBs escape and stop short gains from becoming long ones. If the Bison fix the tackling issues we've had all season we win this one, if not it's going to be a long afternoon.

The thing that baffles me with our defense is it seems like our guys are almost always in the right spot/gap on runs and are putting heavy pressure on the QB, but are trying to make arm tackles or simply don't wrap up and just throw a shoulder at them.

I said it in another thread -- I am expecting a huge shootout. #1 (them) and #3 (us) scoring offenses, #3 (them) and #6 (us) YPG offenses. We are also the #3 red zone offense. I would put the over/under at 87, and 1st team to 40 wins. The Cats are gonna run for 250+ on us, and Cam is gonna throw for 300+ for us.

However, if we play defense like Bison of old, we blow these guys out on Saturday. If that's the case, the over/under is well under 87 if our defense steps up.

At 87, the team with 40 loses. Are you that poor at math? /p

@87 the first team to 44 wins every time. @ 40, assuming 87 is the number (it’s yours) the 40 team never wins.

May I have an audience please?

I rest my case.

Maybe /p. Or should we do blue for for fun bickering?

Win or lose will be decided by two things. Avoid third and long on offense, get off the field on third down on defense. We'll know the answer to these questions before the end of the 1st quarter. Gonna be windy, run the ball. Off to Bozangeles. Go Bison.

Right now, I'm seeing a prediction of ~8-10mph S to SW wind at kickoff through 6pm BUT there's now a 50/50 chance of flurries by 3pm MST... soooo it should be fine throwing weather, maybe running gets a little sketchy if those flurries show up and strengthen at all.

If we can score 27 we might have a chance.

I’m not worried about scoring so much. It’s how many we’re going to give up that’s a bigger concern for me.
