Does this matchup remind anyone of Jacksonville State University championship game? JSU had a bunch of FBS transfers, a good defense statistically mostly because of a down conference, played a FBS opponent tough and ect... The sportswriters were gushing over JSU because they should have beat a very good Auburn team, and NDSU ran the ball down their throats as usual. There is no Carso Wentz in this one, but Lance throws a better deep ball than any of the last three,runs the ball just as well if not better than two of them and just as accurate throwing with better anticipation than stick. I am feeling better about this game each day because of our freshman quarterback. God I wish I could afford a trip there someday!
There a some similarities. But JMU defense>>>>than that JSU defense. Even though the CAA was down this year by what appears to be quite a bit based on the playoffs results. Still better than the OVC has been.
Also NDSU did play well and had a good game running the ball but I would say far from great 49 carries 185 yards 3.77 YPC when the team averaged like 236 a game and 4.99 a carry on the year
The ABCs of NDSU SPORTSMANSHIP:
GoAmy…GoBison…GoCarson!!!
Bison proving that great play and great sportsmanship and character go hand in hand.
Yes, they did have some weather I believe so I don’t think there’s much takeaway from that. UNI basically did nothing on offense all day and never crossed JMU’s 30. Only takeaway is both teams won fairly easy (their score doesn’t quite show that).
