Against NDSU, SHSU will have to earn the victory because it won't be handed to them like the gift from Montana. IF SHSU can build a first half lead against NDSU it had better be a big one because the Bison OWN the second half.
our defense has been much more dominant in the playoffs too. 3 weeks to get healthy and prepare for SHSU's offense. meanwhile shsu takes what? 9 days off? shsu hasnt seen a defense like ours yet. but, we havent seen an offense like theirs yet. still, i like our chances.
Neither team has trailed very much this year. SHSU was never behind more than 3 points in the regular season. Stony Brook had a 7-point lead in one of their playoff games. SIU, Minnesota, and Youngstown are the only games where the Bison have trailed for more than a few minutes.
It's OK to not be OK.
they are all 6'4". the small backup is 6'3" and is the strongest guy on the team. our backup NT is 6'4" 291 and is mean and lean. He played De , Te, wr, rb, and lb in high school and ran track . the athletes on our dline are really good . not your typical 6' 1" or 6'2" guys. and they are quick .

For what it is worth. The Bison know how to work hard and smart. Not saying SHSU doesn't.
I was told through an insider that the coaching staff had to tell the players to go home and rest the week of the Georgia Southern game. They wouldn't quit watching film etc. (voluntary stuff).

“I really thought you had to run the football to control the game,” Erhardt once said. “You had to throw the football to score but had to run the football to win.” - Ron Erhardt
Every coach has their own philosophy on how to get their team ready based on their level of play(grading out) etc, and where they are conditioning wise and the time it take to get there team back to the fine edge they had before the layoff. They have to find a balance for whats right for them. There are extremes on both sides of the fence.
Take Woody Hayes for instance. He had his team doing two adays for the two weeks prior to their bowl games. As a matter of fact he almost had a team mutiny one year. He had all the players on lock down and all they did was practice twice a day and this was the week of the game. Finally the captains had to go talk to him.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
