Crazy Statistics

[Hammerhead]

Since 2004, we have averaged fewer than 3 losses per season -- not bad considering the dire warnings we heard from up north about languishing in mediocrity if we moved up.

Are there any other teams in football that are close to this?

3 MVFC running backs went pro this year.

All these things from the past are fine, but start a new year and past glory is no guarantee of future success.Heck, with no defense, we'll be lucky to win more than one game.

Doesn't look like I have an updated database on my tablet. I'm pretty sure that Montana is the only FCS school close to NDSU in that time frame (i.e. the 11 seasons from 2004-2014.)

I think NDSU is 111-30. Montana is 113-34.

In D3, Mt. Union and Whitewater average about 1 loss per year.

And we haven't mentioned any defensive stats. We only mention what makes us look good

You want some defensive stats? Can't win four in a row without a little defense. Scoring Defense:

Year--Total Points--Average Per Game--Rank in Valley--National Rank

2011 191 12.7 1 2*
2012 173 11.5 1 1*
2013 169 11.3 1 1
2014 225 14.1 1 3

*Through regular season

Dang that lousy 2014 defense.

Not a statistic, but something worth noting: when Bison football players made the news, it was for good things they did, not stupid things.

Bison Pride carries off the field and out of the locker room, into the community.

All that is about to end. Haven't you heard? Losing Crockett will be too much for the offense to handle and they will struggle to replace him. I bet we would be lucky to get a 500 yard rusher this season......

Crockett

Are you sure you don't mean Steffes? Roehl? McNorton? Paschall? Ojuri?

Nice thought, but unfortunately, not always accurate.

Dang that lousy 2014 defense.

I wonder if we'll ever see a better defense than the 2013 NDSU defense?
