2022 Game 4 Preview: University of South Dakota
After scoring 7 points combined in their first two games, USD's offense destroyed Cal Poly's defense (560 total yards!)
Three things off the top of my head:
- USD's secondary looked substandard against the pass against Cal Poly.
- Their offense has only turned the ball over once.
- They are committed to their ground game.

Neilson took over play calling.

I expect a focused Bison team to take out some frustration on the Coyotes.

NDSU wins in a game closer than it needs to be
Re: 2022 Game 4 Preview: University of South Dakota
Not a huge fan of seeing a team dedicated to the ground game with that being our primary weakness. Let's get up early please so we can control TOP.
Re: 2022 Game 4 Preview: University of South Dakota
I predict a fast game with both teams running a lot.
Roehl doesn't know how to throw. /purple

Just because they're dedicated to it doesn't mean they're competent.
Last week they were pedestrian on the ground for the first 3 qtrs if you take out the 75 yard QB scramble for a TD...and that was against a Big Sky team coached by Beau Baldwin so all they see in practice is 4-5 wide basketball plays.
4 of USD's 5 touchdowns were of +40 yards.

I'm sensing that the anticipation for this game is palpable. You can cut the tension with a chainsaw. They may make another "when they were legends" documentary about this game on PBS.
Re: 2022 Game 4 Preview: University of South Dakota
Last year, NDSU got up 28-0, but because of USD's hurry-up offense, the Bison offense still had to run 51 more plays.
Also, by my count, USD's win pct is .500. If they win this weekend, their all-time WLT will be 551-551-36. As much as I like symmetry... I really want a Bison W.
Re: 2022 Game 4 Preview: University of South Dakota
I want to see a solid run defense and some sort of vertical passing game. I do have a sneaky feeling that this game is going to be closer than expected.
Btw... check out USD's first 5 games of the season:
@ Kansas St
@ Montana
vs Cal Poly
vs NDSU
@ SDSU
Yikes...
