Helped their RB was a beast too. Or we made him look really good.

I haven't rewatched the game yet, but what I remembered the most was Abdullah either running through huge holes after a delayed hand-off or being wide open in the flats. I don't remember one player having that much success against NDSU since Jerick McKinnon.
I've mentioned this before, but to me, NDSU looked like it spent too much energy (physical and emotional) on the previous game against SDSU and didn't look ready to be in a fight with JMU.
Hail the BISON!!!
2017 Bison? Bison should be very solid. I'm looking for more consistent play out of the CB's. Secondary was a very young group last year with everyone back this year. Tre is one of the best in the FCS. Some spots to fill in the OL but the OL is always good.
Pretty kick ass version of the Insiders right now.... coach Klieman and coach Kramer have been on so far

I would like to see an analysis of how the Bison should have or maybe did attack JMUs defensive scheme. I doubt it would include repeating jet sweeps to the short side.
As others have mentioned, the middle of the field seemed so wide open for the TEs to work but we didn't do it with our scheme last year. Threatening the middle of the field can freeze the safeties and give a WR a step to make a play.
That's true except for the part where they scored 17 unanswered points to tie the game up. What was weird is that during the short scoring period, NDSU changed their normal game-plan and threw a bunch of different looks at JMU. Then when they tied it up and got the INT on JMU's side of the field, NDSU went back to their normal game-plan that wasn't working at the beginning of the game.
It was pretty mind-boggling to me and why I have a hard time rewatching the game. I'm not going to put a ton of blame on the players on this game. Yes, the lack offense affected the defense. And what affected the offense? Not adapted the whole game.
Hail the BISON!!!
