Anyone have Friday night drinking plans? Where are the eags going? Some Bizon fans suggested a few NDSU bars in Frisco, but I mean, it'd be cool to go some place that wasn't overrun by Green and Yellow.
That is cherry picking at it's finest. So we don't have a dominating DL, but we have the #5 total defense, #2 scoring defense, #9 3rd down conversion defense, #1 4th down conversion, #11 passing yards allowed, #13 in sacks, #7 passing efficiency defense, #13 rushing defense & #1 red-zone defense...BUT WE DON'T HAVE A DOMINATING DL???
That stat standing alone really doesn't mean much. Maine is #6, NDSU is #44, SDSU is #63, and EWU is #64.
My Mom yells louder than your Mom.
For EWU fans, thinking that their Eagles could score as many as 40 vs NDSU is certainly an optimistic prediction but not outrageous, in my opinion.
10-2 Washington State sits at #30 in the FBS in total defense and EWU put up 24 on them. I would imagine that WSU's starters saw limited action late in the game though.
That being said, I think that the NDSU defense will keep them under 30.
At least at the finish, we have faced a top 20 passing offense, #13 SD. EWU is #17. EWU Total defense #60, Passing efficiency, #22, Passing yards allowed #84 (NDSU #11), Sacks #35, run defense #46 (NDSU #13), scoring defense #20.
These are some of the things EWU posters should be concerned about.
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
