1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
3. It's time to go FBS

We should change this thread title to "things Brian Maclaughlin Says"
Heard him say on the podcast that he thinks JMU will win the natty because JMU has 6 players who played in the 2017 Natty and We only had 5. (strange, he never mentioned how many of our players played in LAST year's natty compared to JMU's... Hmm.. strange)
He also said JMU would win because JMU's Defensive coordinator was the DC for Maine Last year. Also Curt Cignetti was a head coach for Elon last year and Entz wasnt a HC! Yeah he's only been a DC for the best dynasty in the history of football for the better part of a decade lol.

I've commented on this before, but my personal favorite is his insistence that the CAA was the best FCS league this past year. Every time I heard that, I laughed as they were likely 3rd best behind Big Sky (not the fluffy this year) and MVFC. I'd personally say Big Sky was best league this year.
Yeah, with as eye popping of numbers as both teams have you could spin things in either's favor very easily. Like this for instance...
JMU has played one team this year that is ranked in the top 25 of the FCS in defensive pass efficiency. That was St Francis who ranks 8th in defensive pass efficiency at 112.93. St Francis also plays in the partial scholly NEC. NDSU is ranked #1 in the FCS in defensive pass efficiency at 102.22. As for JMU's running game... it's good averaging 5.05 yards per carry but NDSU has played 3 teams this year who had better averages in Montana St (5.68), SDSU (5.37), and SIU (5.14).
