True, I should change Towson to Eastern Washington. The upsets would be glorious.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Not close enough to the chipper to make this call.
-
Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
My main fear for Towson is that I have yet to see them play a complete 4 quarters, and some times it has come back to bite them hard. Towson, at their best, is a tough out for anyone, but it will be exciting to watch.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Neither team has made it yet. We'll see. Two good ones though.
-
Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Towson has an excellent offense, but their defense concerns me as far as being able to be stout enough to win a NC. I think a match up with NDSU would be great. Wouldn't an "all CAA" final with UNH be a scream?!

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Towson is an excellent team but played some very close games in the CAA and lost a couple. The CAA's top 6 teams could have beaten EIU on any given Saturday, or Friday.

Awwww, Texas - where is your faith in the Southland Conference.

NDSU is looking like the '85 Bears right now. It's scary.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
NDSU's average margin of victory in the playoffs the past 3 seasons is 20 points. I like our chances for the threepeat.
-
Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Taking a snapshot right now, I see Towson as the toughest possible matchup in Frisco. Strong running team to ground & pound just like the Bison, but their D is not as strong as the Bison nor is their passing game. NDSU has shown they can score big-time points when they want to so the matchup against EWU/JSU will show just how strong the Bison Defense is by shutting either offense down.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Preseason I said NDSU/Towson for the title with the Bison getting the threepeat. I still say that. If Towson makes it to Frisco and loses, you know what, they got there. 4 years ago I would have laughed at you if you were to tell me that the Tigers would make the semis, let alone the national title game. It's about enjoying the run now.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
The Bison played Towson back in the D-2 days during playoffs in 1983 in Fargo and won 24-17. If they play and Towson can effectively run the football that might be a similar type score.

I remember thinking early season that the one team that I don't want to see is Towson on our side of the bracket. Thankfully they are on the other side and I'm pretty sure that would be an insane championship game. It is fun having a team that likes to play a little defense also though.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
After the last two weeks, I'm not afraid to play anybody left.

I was at that game. We had the all frosh backfield, Bentrim, Stark and Molstre!

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
The way that EWU played sticking to my prediction. Towson will have a field day much like SHSU did on them.

I tend to agree.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Honestly, there's too much ahead for us to see this game. Both EWU and the winner of SELA/UNH may have things to say about this pairing. I kind of hope for UNH or SELA in the championship due to NDSU defense.

Not happening. Watching both these teams now. To beat NDSU you need an offensive weapon like Grappolo or West combined with a stout defense. Both these teams are solid, but don't have weapons to keep up in the dome.

You have to fight fire with fire. Which ever offense or special team unit that messes up loses. It's what happened to us twice.
Bohl is a master mind.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Think about this. A NDSU/Towson game will give the Bison a shot at holding the nation's top 3 rushers all under 50 yds.
-
Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Wow...
There is some serious disrespecting of Eastern Washington going on around here
xeyebrowx
I'm a fan of Towson but you cannot bank on Eastern just turning the ball over (and over and over) like they did today

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Like Ole said to Sven "If dat team from Maryland is going to beat da Bison they vill have to score a towson points!:D
-
Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Lots of harping on EWU when they get to play at home next week. Still think they have a better chance than Townson to meet NDSU in Frisco.

That may be true against Townson but it will be a better game against Towson!:)

The way Towson has handled New Hampshire in recent years, we don't want a Towson-UNH championship game. That would be ugly.

I'm a serious UNH homer, and I'd have to agree with that statement. As slim as our chances are these next two weeks, I like our chances against NDSU more than I do against Towson. West is as good as they get. I'd go as far as to say that he's probably better than Williams at BC (Doak Walker winner), and West is only a junior. I remember watching West as a freshman against a very stout Richmond D and he made them look like a total sieve. But hey, UNH is true grit right now. Other than Bohl, Coach Mac has the most playoff experience of the remaining coaches too, that has to mean something.

Playoff experience, but how do you explain that piss poor clock management on Friday? Horrendous! I figured that he would make a good Bison coach until I saw that

Some teams just don't match up well. Plus being a conference foe makes it even tougher because the teams know each other so well.
Towson is a very good team but I would say the Bison have a much better defense and a lot better passing game.

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
Just let N Dakota State go play the florida St Auburn winner and give SELA a merry Christmas call..... your back in it. N Dak state is far and above any of the FCS teams left

Was it snowy that game? For some reason I thought it was but had a family deal and missed the game (had to listen on the radio.)

Re: North Dakota State vs Towson - National Championship
I would love to see UNH beat NDSU but do not see it. Tribe beat UNH at home 17-0 for their only shutout since 1995 this year, see NDSU winning at home.
Got Towson and NDSU in the final of my pool also. Tribe lost to them 15-9 at home. West is the real deal as we "held" him to only 160 yards! The only weakness Towson has is no kicking game but with West has not been an issue. Their D bends but does not break. My prediction is 14-13 Towson.........
