    Default Bruce Anderson the best RB receiving threat in Bison history?

    After watching what Bruce has done the receiving game this year, I am wondering if he may be the best receiving threat at RB NDSU has ever had?

    Discuss. I'd have nightmares as a DC if facing him.

    Lamar Gordon had 30 receptions during his rookie season in the NFL. I can't remember how often he caught passes at NDSU.

    It's OK to not be OK.

    DJ McNorton was a good one. He was lethal with screen passes.

    Also, Ryan Smith started as an RB if that counts.

    Mcnorton screen playcalls were called perfectly in a lot of situations.

    We need to run more screens... In the right situations they are huge plays.

    McNorton better pass catcher. Bruce better route runner.

    January 7th, 2012. NDSU vs. Sam Houston State


    Start of the 3rd Quarter:

    NORTH DAKOTA STATE drive start at 15:00.

    DJ McNorton rush for 6 yards to the NDSU34 (Will Henry;Bookie Sneed).

    Sam Ojuri rush for no gain to the NDSU34 (Kash David;Kenneth Jenkins).

    Brock Jensen pass incomplete to Ryan Smith.

    Matt Voigtlander rush for 27 yards to the SHSU39, 1ST DOWN NDSU (Brandon Closner).

    Brock Jensen pass complete to DJ McNorton for 39 yards to the SHSU0, 1ST DOWN NDSU, TOUCHDOWN, clock 12:47. *


    Greatest screen play in Bison history.

    Ryan Smith was absolutely lethal underneath. A play NDSU has abandoned since Klieman took over and not sure why (fake punt, onside kick??). Not sure why Shepard isnt getting that route 2-3 times a game. Low risk, very high reward play...If you can get a defense to drop its linebackers just a bit or get them to close in the gaps the short crossing route is unstoppable with a small speed guy.

    Bruce looks a lot like David Johnson to me skill and size wise.

    Loved watching Roehl bowl.

    Hard to argue against Bruce if he keeps this up.
