GDT: NDSU at Missouri State

[SDbison]

Games in Springfield are notoriously ugly...win or lose. Old stadium that’s 3/4 empty. John Goodman of all people pumping up the 27 MSU fans in attendance. Zero extrinsic energy to feed off. The boys are gonna have to dig down and dig in and figure out a way to come firing out the gates. Up until last week, it was NDSU and then everyone else. These guys thought their shit didn’t stink and they were untouchable. If they start slow, it’s going to be a grind and I’ll be surprised if we walk out of Springfield with a W. But if we come out swinging and establish the tone for the game, snd the guys regain that confidence and swagger, then I’m pretty confident we’ll win handily.

Based on what happened last week time for the struggles in that Missouri shit hole to end. How about this Bison team start playing like they should and begin a tradition of kicking the crap out of Missouri State down there!

Coaches have to step it up..
Offense, Game plan and certain scripted plays for the first 15 plays has been the norm for years.

. BUT the past two games after the first 2 plays the game plan completely changed. Players are gonna get confused & don't have the experience to adapt
With so many young guys, you can't just throw the game plan away.

Would love to see us start out in 3TE goal line set or delta heavy for the first few drives. Let’s get back to punch ‘em in the mouth football. Too much shotgun, slow developing draws, etc. Get everyone moving forward and blast people off the line.

Anybody get the feeling this Bison team and the coaches really got pissed how they were dominated last week and got extremely focused on all the things that needed to improve to win games? Was not impressed with Entz's responses this past week and not sure the current players are focused and confident they can get the job done. We will find out today.

Ryan Gellner says, "Hey Guys" 17 times; Lee Timmerman squeals like a little girl when the Bison throw 2 interceptions; 3 plays are missed because of commercial breaks running over; Beth Hoole farts during halftime break, then announces that the Halftime Show Fart was brought to you by Billy Bobs Agricultural Aerosol Fertilizers; Bison get back up and wobble a bit, but put up a W, 21-10.

I'm actually excited to see how we respond

Only 3 plays missed??

Hope to see big #44 out there today and some good old fashioned smashmouth power run game.

In 2015 after that USD loss the entire team but especially the o-line stepped it up. Hoping to see something similar today.

The real question is if this team is nearly as good as the one that responded after the USD loss. Are they capable of a rebound?

We are really, really young. I’m fine with seeing inexperience show up, but lack of intensity cannot be a thing moving forward.

You’re going to hate me but there are a lot of things that were new for our guys last week.

First road game
Early start
Unknowns with SIU’s backup QB
No longer have a deadly QB run game
Arguably three of our four best offensive weapons injured (hopefully get two back today)

Was a lot to throw at a young team in the middle of a pandemic with no non-conference cupcakes. From today forward the excuses are out the window and it’s time to nut up or GTFO. Maybe that’s why we’ve been seeing a couple folks transfer.
