Pretty good overall vs an option offense, and a program the Bison have battled with in the past (otherwise I wouldn't give them much credit vs bsc competition).
Sam also held Johnny Football just under his ypg passing avg (avg 285/267 vs sam) and just over his rush avg (98ypg avg/100yds vs sam). A very solid job vs the heisman winner IMHO.
They are a good defense. Points were at a premium last year, and they probably will be again.
That is very impressive. Why are we just hearing about their defense now? Is it because ours is so good, or did it have something to do with the second half against EWU?
