Abdullah is the piece that I think some are not talking about enough, that guy was a wrecking ball to our defense last year. Marshall who is their lead back now is a solid but he is more of a homerun type of back and our defense does a good job at limiting big plays, especially big rushing plays. I think this will put a lot more pressure on Schor, not saying he can't deliver but it changes the game.
This game will likely be decided by which QB plays better, both are very similar. Really it is shocking how similar NDSU and JMU are.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
I think a lot of that has to do with what Coach K said after the San Diego game I think. But he mentioned how it is hard to defend plays you dont see very often. I mean Bruce scored a TD on the same damn wheel route the Bison ran against Wofford for TD and have been running for years now. You know that was talked about in the prep by SHSU and yet they still let the back leak out. But in conference you see that play every year not every 3-4 years so you can recognize it and defend it better
Watching the game. 1st drive they were moving the ball and the fumble by Mangerelli was a killer. The SDSU Left Tackle got owned in the 1st quarter twice and forced 2 turnovers by himself. Then on one play they protected well and the QB overthrows a bomb which was picked off.
So 4 turnovers so far. 1 dumb fumble. 2 times the LT gets owned and forces turnover. 4th was an overthrow and a good play by the DB. Game could have been really different.
Then they run the ball and scored a TD. Getting some good push running the ball

JMU fan here. No trash talking today. I just wanted to say that I met a lot of great NDSU fans in Frisco last year. I think you guys actually outnumbered the Youngstown State crowd. Looking forward to a great game... Also looking forward to scantily-clad waitresses and bartenders at Wild Pitch.
The best part of being at the game this year is not having to watch the JMU head coach pep talk during the pregame on ESPN.
Don't matter. FIVE-PEAT!
This is something that should give all NDSU fans confidence heading into Frisco. I started re-watching last year's JMU game (ugh) and the NDSU LBs just got abused in that game. They were caught out of position on both runs and passes multiple times and I'm just through the 1st quarter. I'm sure some of that was due to great schemes from the JMU offensive coaching staff but this year's Bison LB corps has the ability to make a huge difference compared to last year.
