The game did more to bury the 'rivalry' than to revive it.

I'm not so sure about that! But I'll concede this much for the sake of brotherly Bison love……………..it was, at best, similar.

Last year we were lucky because Jacks had a bad QB and we didnt see too much of Jake Wieneke but whenever the Jack's QB threw his way this happened.
3rd and 8 at SDSU27 Austin Sumner pass complete to Jake Wieneke for 12 yards to the SDSU39, 1ST DOWN SDSU (CJ Smith;Christian Dudzik).
Austin Sumner pass incomplete to Jake Wieneke, PENALTY NDSU personal foul (CJ Smith) 15 yards to the NDSU45, 1ST DOWN SDSU, NO PLAY
Austin Sumner pass incomplete to Jake Wieneke (CJ Smith), PENALTY NDSU pass interference (CJ Smith) 15 yards to the NDSU5, 1ST DOWN SDSU, NO PLAY.
After these two fouls the Jacks got the momentum and went ahead and scored TDs.
This year with a weak secondary, inexperienced backfied we have a lot to worry.
" Our strategy for winning against BISON was simple, we put our WRs and RBs in a 1 on 1 situation with their defense in the backfield.....everybody knows they have some freshman who cannot tackle in a 1 on 1 situation.....Joe Glen"

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
I would like to see CJ return punts but I wouldn't do it against SDSU.
CJ should be 100% focused on Wieneke.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
Last year the Jacks had a very good QB. Not sure how a personal foul on CJ proves anything. Wieneke is a stud though... he's just taller than pretty much any CB and he can run. I would anticipate some safety help to take him out of the game so the other corners need t on step up. We don't have a weak secondary. We have an inexperienced secondary who is gaining experience every week.

I heard this statement : ' the atmosphere at tailgating and in the dome really showed this rivalry is needed.'
EVERY WEEK NO MATTER WHO WE PLAY HAS THAT ATMOSPHERE
If the media thinks 'ND needs to experience this' - then get in the waiting line for season tickets (because EVERY game sold out in an hour) and come watch any Bison game- especially a competitive conference game instead of the patsies we bring in like this week.
Anyone who can't figure out why we would not play there is completely clueless.
