"Bison fans in real life are nicer than Bison fans on Twitter" from the Twitter that shit talked Bison fans for 3 weeks

they don't understand that Scheme can dictate execution.
MAYBE just MAYBE......SU's defensive scheme impacted JMU play which contributed to the drops.
Bottom line big-time players make big-time plays.....Well! And, no I dont think Stapelton was the best athlete on the field by a country mile.
Coming out of a restaurant Sunday morning an older gentleman stopped us and told us he was glad we were back and that he watched the game. He said he met bison fans when we were down there last and they talked football with him. So yes, everyone hates us.
So, you can make fun of ND, beer drinking, and all the other stuff.
But in the end, NDSU has 6 championships. And. They. Don't
The single craziest thing in that blog post is the rushing yards. Clearly the fake punt and Stick's last run were factored into that. NDSU didn't dominate the ground game by our standards, but they were way more effective than JMU throughout the game.
Boom. WAY more credit should be given to Stick and Shepard on the 50-yard bomb. Easy for QB and or WR to shit pants when that wide open. Stick threw a soft dime in stride to Shep and he caught it with nice touch/soft hands. Thing of beauty. Reminded me of the bomb to Locket over Heagle in KSU game.
And 2 other things. Shep had not caught a TD the entire year, and dropped a perfectly thrown bomb that would have been a TD in the MVSU game to open season. What a contrast. 1st game of season that was a blowout compared to a Natty that meant everything and Shep makes the catch and Stick the throw. Juxtapose that to errant JMU QB throws (one over the middle that would have been a TD, but was overthrown) and the several WR drops. Fuck ‘em.

Only 49 pages late to the game...
My takeaways from the game;
1. Jabril Cox is going to be an absolute dude.
2. Bridges, the guy is going to be a difference maker.. not ready to make M. Wills comparisons but am willing to say 6+ picks next season.
3. James Madison deserves a ton of credit, it's tough to say where this game ends up if they have even half of the drops that they did.
That said; our O-line let Easton get hit a lot more than I'd like to see... I think that is more credit to them than it is a knock on us. I loved watching a physical hard-nose football game, you line your guys up against ours and let's play. It is tough to tell where they'd land in the MVFC playing week in and week out but I have to start respecting the CAA more than I have in the past.
Klieman pointed out after the game that that play was DESIGNED to work that way. It was the situation they were waiting for--though I doubt they said, "Thank God we have 3-17 a the 50, now we have them right where we want them." I can't find a good camera angle but I am guessing that the coaches noticed some kind of tendency in the JMU DBs. Maybe something like they will jump on a route that is just deep enough for a first down and may lose track of a guy streaking down the field. Again, I don't know that this is the exact case but those are the kinds of things that coaches notice.
Finally, I have a world of respect for the JMU team and coaches. They played their hearts out. They are a very good team and it is possible if we had to play a "series" against them that it would go the distance. I think NDSU would win the series but it wouldn't be a blow out like some championships are. I wish them the best of luck next year and hope we meet them again.
