Good talk, guys.
Totally agree with SD... Scheme or not, their receivers looked better. I think we will get by with this fin conference, but I don't think that will cut it in the Valley...

Marlette!!!! and how about that Hanke kid out of Park River? He may see a lot of time before this season is over. You can see he is a natural just watching him for a few series, great instinct. NDSU will really appreciate the reps the 2nd stringers are getting come next year at this time.
I'm not quite ready to jump on the WR having issues bandwagon yet after game 1. A few dropped passes that could've been catches and Easton is more like 7 of 9. Passing wasn't much of a focus for the Bison Saturday as they racked up something like 450 yards rushing. I don't think Shep was 100%, and Watson got held out as well. We're pretty young at this position, lets be patient and give these guys some time to adjust to playing college football.
Did anyone hear Phil on the radio yesterday? I love hearing the break down of things a guy like him sees. We're running multiple plays out of similar looks offensively, he loved how we gave the ball to Robbins a couple of times so teams have to be mindful of that, and the defensive look of Cox lining up behind the middle LB and 3 down lineman was a pretty awesome creation of Entz & Co. Give the Bison an entire off season to prepare for the option and I really like our chances. We held an option team to what, 80 some yards rushing?, and people get worried about them completing a couple of deep balls over the top? Ha, Bisonville.

It was really just one that bugged me. I think their receiver was singled up against Allison and ran a straight go route with a skinny post and was pretty wide open after 10-15 yards. Looked like the receiver just out-ran the corner. Chalk it up to scheme and first game mistake, or maybe just a really good, fast receiver. I’m good with that, but the #1 thing I’ll be looking at next Saturday is passing defense.

As good as I think Ty Brooks is at RB I really hope they limit his touches thru the year and save him for playoff football. He seems to get dinged quite often. As deep as the Bison are at RB they could sure watch his numbers. Also, From what i seen in a small sampling on Saturday I hope the Bison get their 2nd string QBs as many reps as possible. Stick going down could be a real eye opener from what i seen in a small sampling.
Any word on what Cain was suspended for? Is it just a one game suspension?
