However, I don't think you can necessarily judge how good a team is by how many future NFL players they have/had. I would guess there are probably a number of teams in the FCS that will prbably have more NFL players than NDSU, as well as Kansas State,but I don't think that means those are better teams than NDSU. It does give you an idea though that the Marshall weren't just going up against a bunch of no-names.
The 1995 Montana team was very good, but most Griz fans agreee that the '96 version was even better. It just so happened that they faced a Marshall team that year that was on another level entirely.
