Would the Bison have scored on Alabama tonight, if so how many points???

I am in a debate with my brother. He says NDSU would not have scored on Alabama or got the ball across midfield either. I on the other hand think the game would have been closer if LSU had stayed home and given their game passes to NDSU. Thoughts?

Vs an Alabama team with 44 days to prepare for NDSU, we would have gotten destroyed.

NDSU would have been slaughtered out there. Good grief......

You serious Clark?

I think a 40-50 point beatdown would be the Soup of the Day

We would have done better than LSU did...not saying we would have won. LSU sucked royally. Jefferson was completely out of his league and had no answers. Their OC made no meaningful adjustments. It was a sick joke for LSU fans...a waste of their time & money. I would have pulled Jefferson by mid-3rd quarter. Lee would have been on the field with some serious time left on the clock. Ridiculous I say. Brock Jensen would have had a better presence (and arm) on the field. Esley...same. I've never seen a worse option game than LSU tried to run. The execution was unbelievably bad. Talk about telegraphing the pitch...whoa.

We would not have been destroyed any worse than LSU was. Alabama's offense was average. Both teams' offenses sucked. The defenses were great...but the horrible offenses made them look better than they were. Saban did the right thing to win the game. He opened up the play book in the middle of the field, and closed it down as they got into field goal range. 'Bama played for field goals. It was the way for them to keep the ball, protect it, and to get their kicker on the field.

No team in the country would have destroyed NDSU's defense...sorry...that's just the way it is. 'Bama won with a great defense...but I can also see why GS was able to move the ball on them. More preparation time? Could be...but both teams get the same amount of time...I think.

You are right...and your brother still suffers from the delusion that FBS teams are far superior to the top FCS teams.

Do you remember 2006 when a lot of us hoped that we could at least play 'with' MN and keep it within a couple of touchdowns? Same delusion. Now we know.

We would have scored maybe 10 or 14. 'Bama would have had something like 24. Richardson would have found his way to the end zone once or twice.

'Bama would not have had the ball as long as they did last night.

[mebisonII]

Seriously?

NDSU might have scored with Alabama put their band in.

So you're saying that the Bison really suck...ok. LSU royally sucked. Their offensive game plan was an embarrassment to the NT game.
