    Default 2013 vs 2014

    2013 vs 2014 stats (through 5 games):

    2013 Rushing - 232 attempts for 1204 yards (5.19 yds/rush); 12 TDs; 5 fumbles - 2 lost
    2014 Rushing - 227 attempts for 1156 yards (5.09 yds/rush); 11 TDs; 4 fumbles - 2 lost

    2013 Passing - 87 of 133 for 880 yards (Completion percentage - 65.41%); 10 TDs, 3 INTs
    2014 Passing - 83 of 124 for 1081 yards (Completion percentage - 66.94%); 5 TDs, 3 INTs

    2013 Scoring Offense - 35.0 ppg
    2014 Scoring Offense - 31.0 ppg

    2013 Scoring Defense - 10.8 ppg
    2014 Scoring Defense - 8.2 ppg

    2013 3rd Down Offense - 44 of 78 (56.4%)
    2014 3rd Down Offense - 37 of 69 (53.6%)

    2013 3rd Down Defense - 17 of 69 (24.6%)
    2014 3rd Down Defense - 22 of 73 (30.1%)

    2013 Sacks Allowed - 9 for 38 yards
    2014 Sacks Allowed - 3 for 22 yards

    2013 Red Zone Offense (TDs) - 18 on 24 Attempts (75.0%)
    2014 Red Zone Offense (TDs) - 11 on 20 Attempts (55.0%)

    Considering last year's team was one of the best teams in the history of the FCS, the stats are actually pretty comparable. The one that jumps out, and I'm sure no one will be surprised by this, is the Red Zone TDs.

    stats could be close...but 2013 could've picked a score vs anyone outside of a few games.

    Did you expect too? This team could be very good. It may take to November.

    What I'm really impressed by is how often this offense is getting into the red zone. However, that could also mean last year's team was better at scoring from outside the red zone. This team clearly has the ability to move the football offensively. Just need to put teams away by scoring in the red zone and occasionally hitting the "home run" plays outside of the red zone.

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    Did you really have that feeling through the first 5 games last year? In the first 5 games of 2013, NDSU was down 14 to KSU in the 3rd quarter, only had a 7 point lead against SDSU at the beginning of the 4th quarter, and was down 13 to UNI to start the 4th quarter. The other two games were Ferris State and Delaware State.

    And we were damn fortunate to beat UNI last year. Seems a lot of doubting and concern about this year's team. I never thought we would be 5-0. Keep on truckin Bison!

    I really think this is the case. We are not fully stretching the field vertically or horizontally YET. To me that's the most glaring aspect lacking in this 2014 team so far. We have simply been unable to adequately replace Ryan Smith's speed in this regard (stretching the field in both directions).

    Having said that, I think we get there. It just might take a little bit more time to develop - even if by committee. (and I'm not talking about one whole season here, either!) Stretching horizontally requires the abilities of a running back. Stretching vertically requires the abilities of a sprinter. Smith provided both. And I think it's safe to say that he was no slouch at either.
