NDSU vs. Georgia Southern - Semifinals

[344Johnson]

PS, most people who don't play against the TO regularly find it nearly impossible to figure out. But I'm guessing Ga Southern's offense could beat their own defense all day long.

Ran the TO in high school. If the defense isn't a bunch of idiots and play assignment football....the TO can be contained. That said, I expect GaSo to run for quite a few yards. It could get interesting what they do if say...NDSU jumps out to a 17-21 point lead somehow in the first half.

[penguinpower]

The Bison have a solid team. they are excellent fundamentally. They have text book blocking. NDSU is BIG, and strong and very intellectual and disciplined (I really like their coach and enjoy watching his press conferences....they have a great HC) This is my opinion, and it is only an opinion, but they can be beaten with speed. Youngstown State played them earlier in the year and handed them their only loss and it was at the Fargo Dome. YSU is a very young team and will make the playoffs next year (kinda like GSU did 2 years ago). YSU has a ton of talent (not being a homer) but the kids were really too young to play consistent football this year especially on defense. NDSU had issues with YSU's speed. I believe that the only way to beat the Bison is with speed. How does GSU match up? Here is the way I see this game. GSU has the advantage early with the triple option early because NDSU has not had to defend it. Once they get the hang of it (and they will....very intellectual and disciplined) they will be able to limit big plays. The underlying thing that I did not mention is that both teams are physical and that is equal on both sides in my book. This is going to be one hell of a game.

[molly]

I saw this question raised earlier in this thread, but I never saw an answer: When was the last time that NDSU faced the triple option and who was it? Not a run-heavy team, not a team that runs the option frequently, but a triple option team. Thanks in advance.

[swaghook]

NICHOLLS STATE I think used the TO.

[Vitojr130]

FBS losses don't hurt teams. You played a Big Ten doormat while we played a team in the BCS national championship game.

... and lost. Who cares if you just played them. You still lost. Just because you played them doesn't mean jack. FBS losses do not really hurt FCS teams, but a win will ALWAYS look better than a loss, regardless of who you play.

[GCWaters]

Yeah, NDSU should just give up....the TO's unbeatable (Cough, cough...Georgia 31, Tech 17....cough, cough)....

According to JMU fans, their team had "the most speed in the FCS" and we saw how that worked for them.

[Baldy]

And your opponents have only kicked twice.
...and ran 3 fake punts, turned the ball over 4 times, and went for it on 4th down 5 times (losing it 3). Your point?

[Baldy]

If you had read the earlier post that comment was meant to illustrate how much the last championship team has to do with the current team. History apparently only counts when it's good.

Indeed, sounds very similar to NDSU fans saying because the Bison ran the option in the leather helmet days, they know how to stop it. xlolx

[Baldy]

Yeah, NDSU should just give up....the TO's unbeatable (Cough, cough...Georgia 31, Tech 17....cough, cough)....

Are you kidding? NDSU shut down Lee High, beat the Minnesota Vikings, and has won the Super Bowl like 8 times.....

(Oh, and cough, cough, sniffle, sniffle....Youngstown State 27 God's gift to Football 24...sniffle cough, gag...)

[Eaglesrus]

This thread has been almost entirely NDSU fans trying to defend against the notion that GSU is the fastest team in all of football, the TO is completely impossible to defend, and we play in a barn in the middle of nowhere.

I honestly haven't seen a single GSU person say that the triple option is unbeatable, just NDSU posters exaggerating statements that it is tough to do so with only a week to prepare, as I think has been proven this year. Obviously it can be done, as App State and Alabama did it this year. On the other hand, what we hear from some NDSU posters is that we're one dimensional and have no chance against your all-world defense. Again, matter of perspective.

[TheEagleWay]

how about 8 titles?

Oh yeah, D2 Titles mean squat in this message board.

Thats like if App State went to FBS and touted 3 FCS Titles, they would get laughed at. App fans wouldn't do that anyway.

[penguinpower]

This is stupid. Most fans think their team is the best. It's the people that realize a football teams are different form year to year and week to week that that actually know what they are talking about. A title is a title and it is difficult to achieve at any level. Think about this Ga Southern and YSU have combined for 10 NC's. 6 to Southern and 4 to YSU. App State is 3rd on this list and then everyone else. Of all the years that football has been played ask yourself the question as to why your team doesn't have more NC's. The answer is that they just weren't good enough to get the job done that year or that week. Both NDSU and Ga Southern have very good teams. This should be a good match-up. Also that Fargo Dome can be a loud and intimidating place for a group of 18-22 year old kids. I have been to Paulson and it is not nearly as loud as that dome. The sound echos off the walls and roof and it is difficult to get offensive and defensive play calls out. The TO should be easier to run because the option itself is actually an in play audible. It will be interesting. This is actually the most interesting match up of the entire playoff run for me.

Most of the Bison fans are really cool and they treat you well, but like any team we all have our village idiots.

[GATA]

NDSU is gonna score boatloads. Problem is that GSU is also gonna score boatloads. We're gonna have to outscore them.

This is a stupid expression that really needs to die.

You ALWAYS have to outscore your opponent to win...that's how it works. I know what you MEAN (outscore them in a high-scoring affair)...but seriously, that **** is retarded. Who started this?

Sidenote: I'm not sweating NDSU. easiest of our playoffs games so far.

[gasoutherneagle]

Clearly both teams are beatable they both have losses.

This discussion is moronic.

BING!+1xsmileyclapx

[caribbeanhen]

You are forgetting that Delaware players are born with the racial trait of eastern bias, this allows impossible feats to be achieved.

You might want to give KC a call, because for all his faults, his teams do play pretty well against TO teams, they have to prepare for Navy almost every year and were well prepared for GSU last December, GSU did have some false starts yesterday, I am assuming this might be normal, but with a different officiating crew combined with the crowd noise and a pretty good NDST defense might be enough to take out the feared TO.

THIS.

It's all about mitigation. That's what the Bison do, they mitigate good offensive players. From what I see, the unstoppable GSU offense hasn't scored more than 27 points but once. I saw that ODU game, it was ridiculous so I would consider it an outlier. I said it on the Lehigh thread and it bears repeating. Every and I mean EVERY time they said "xxxx is going to finally blow up the Bison defense" xxxx has been shut down.

I'm not saying that GSU will be shut down on the level of Lehigh but that offense will be mitigated.

[Gil Dobie]

So far this thread has been entertaining. I'm sure it will change to more serious football talk as the week progresses. Here's to a great game :)

More serious football talk? I did my part a few minutes ago, not very optimistic though

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

This is stupid. Most fans think their team is the best.

Honestly, no GSU or NDSU fan here (other than GATA) thinks this game will be an easy win for their team.

I think GSU fans are just tired of reading that we somehow conned them or "chickened out" by buying out of the home and home. Get over it. NDSU already had an advantage in having a really crappy FBS team on their schedule, and they got an easy DI win to replace the game while we got a DII game. You got a higher seed than us despite losing to an unranked team at home and not winning your conference outright.

We as fans felt a little robbed. Montana State did the same it. It's annoying. It was a perfect opportunity to stop all the talk about who is best. We will never know who would have won that game. As for the higher seed, NDSU simply had more DI wins than GSU. I think that would be among the first criteria.

[mgbison]

Ndsu deserved to be ranked higher than gsu. Our loss was to an Unranked team, but we had more D1 wins and that's all that matters.

You don't get moral victory points for losing to Alabama. Gsu's schedule this year was ridiculous. Why play Alabama? It's a guaranteed L. Then drop a counter game for a D2 team. Again, a game that doesn't count.

[BisonBohl]

Honestly I dont want to hear GSU fans complaining about our seeds. Karma sucks sometimes, if would have came to Fargo earlier in the year and beat us we would be playing at GSU but you didnt...


gonna be a great game...

[Gil Dobie]

That was a good post on your part. :)

[Gil Dobie]

My early prediction is a 27-24 NDSU win, which could be skewed either way by penalties and turnovers. NDSU has the top scoring defense in FCS and a slightly better scoring offense than Maine. The Bison are also top 5 in rushing and total yards and #7 in turnover margin, while GSU is an offensive juggernaut. Hopefully the old saying is correct and defense wins championships.

[GSU EAGLES]

I'm not saying that GSU will be shut down on the level of Lehigh but that offense will be mitigated.

The offense completely changed a few games ago when Dominique Swope emerged as an All American level B back. If you focus on him, you get burned outside. If you focus outside, he will gash you all day up the middle. If you focus on both, then you will probably be completely lost as it is extremely difficult to do both. I am not saying it is impossible, but just making the point that the offense has been extremely efficient since Dominique Swope became the starter.

Also, Swope ran for 152 yards when we beat Bama. :)

[asumike83]

How do you figure the GSU offense has only scored more than 27 one time? They scored 35 yesterday against Maine, 31 against Wofford, 50 against Furman, 28 against Chattanooga and 45+ against a few inferior opponents. The 55 they put on ODU was not exactly an outlier.

My fault, I was looking at the wrong statistics.

[GSU EAGLES]

All I'm saying is that the most points (forgetting ODU) that GSU has scored is 27. The most points the Bison have allowed this year is 27.

Flip that, The bison have score 30+ points 6 times this season, including 1 40+ game and 2 50+ games. Even if this is a shootout, the Bison can hang not only because they will score point but that you may not score as many as you want.

You need to go check your facts. We averaged over 37 points this year and score over 27 many times this year.

27 points was allowed by a passing team, with a good running attack, just sayin'

Yes, clearly GSU is going to steamroll NDSU.

[Blue Eagle]

The only thing I know about NDSU is what I saw in the second half against Lehigh.

Based on that and the fact that I am an eternal optimist regarding my beloved Eagles I believe Ga. Southern will win!

IMHO the only way NDSU wins is if the Eagles have too many turnovers and make too many mistakes!


Ga. Southern's Playoff Record 43 & 11
The next best is Montana at 32 & 18

[GSU EAGLES]

Yes, clearly GSU is going to steamroll NDSU.

I thought it would be at least until Tuesday before reality set in and you rolled over. Glad we got that out of the way so early. At least now you can go concentrate on recruiting for next year.

NDSU will probably end up dropping football after Saturday. The GSU defeat will be so decisive and demeaning that it will make us never want to play football again.

[GSU EAGLES]

NDSU will probably end up dropping football after Saturday. The GSU defeat will be so decisive and demeaning that it will make us never want to play football again.

You will probably feel that way for an hour or so after the game ends, but then the memories of the division III titles will help you fight on.

[Professor Chaos]

Why do we even bother playing this game? NDSU is so obviously a superior team at every position and aspect of the game and Craig Bohl has the GSU offense figured out. Might as well not spend any more money on NDSU after we already spent $60,000 on the buyout.
That's what the same thing the more cynical JMU fans were saying last week and the same thing the more cynical Lehigh fans said last week.... turns out they were right :D

Having said that, you need to calm down on the "no respect" card. All four teams left are really frickin good and I don't see any reason why the fans of any one of these teams shouldn't feel good about their team's title chances. The Bison (and especially our fans) aren't going to lay down and kiss the feet of GSU all week, we expect to win. If you want to keep playing the "we get no respect" card you'll have a long week of whining ahead of you.

[GSUwinsagain]

Final Four Time !!! Four great teams that settle it on the field (thank the Lord it's not decided by posters).
I for one am very worried about this weeks game against The Bison. They seem to be very big, strong, fast and well coached, but a T.O. scheme has a way of equalizing size and speed. I am not as worried about our O as I am about our D holding up against a team (like Alabama) that wants to ram the ball down our throats. Should be a heckuva game!

[gsu2583]

This (Maine game) was one of the most strict officiating crews we have seen all season. The number of penalties we had yesterday was abnormal for us.

After road games at Boone and in Tuscaloosa, I don't think crowd noise will be a factor at all. This game will be determined by turnovers and points off turnovers. If we hold on to the ball, we win. And vice versa...

[Baldy]

NDSU already had an advantage in having a really crappy FBS team on their schedule, and they got an easy DI win to replace the game while we got a DII game.

For the last gotdam time...

GSU bought out the NDSU game to play Presbyterian at HOME. Presby is a FCS school that plays football in the Big South Conference.

DII Tusculum was a last second addition to replace CCU.

[ChiefGSU275]

I'll be honest, I don't like GSU's chances in this game. I haven't seen any of NDSU's games, but I read what their posters say. They have a great defense, they can score alot of points, and they have alot of championship experience. Their home stadium sounds like it's a very intimidating place to play. Home field advantage is key, especially when a team can go undefeated all season, it shows how intimidating that environment can be. GSU has done well to make it this far and should be proud of making it to the semi's again. But as long as NDSU is in our way, we may never make it to Frisco.

The "local posters notwithstanding" was a joke. I'm sure you guys are great people, and I can tell you're passionate about your team. I appreciate that in fellow FCS programs - Montana, McNeese, UNI, even App has some great passionate fans. Every fan base has their "jack-holes" and its unfortunate when the whole fan base is judged based on that few. I know GSU has them because I've seen them up close and personal. Usually it's a combination of alcohol and stupidity that results in that.

I've seen much more mention of Alabama by Bison fans than GSU fans in this thread.

[Wilson16]

Have any of your players played against it? The coach can tell them whatever he wants it is whether the players can execute the game plan. It will be tougher than you NDSU fans think.

I am not saying NDSU can't or won't win. It is just your cocky *** fans that rub people the wrong way. Just assuming you are going to throttle what is the #3 team in the country. Lehigh and JMU are no where near the class that GSU is. Heck, I am not sure UNI is in the same class as GSU.

This should be a whale of a game.

First time poster on this site (i wasn't going to post just read). But when a UNI fan comes on and says NDSU has cocky *** fans I had to. Every fan base has them and UNI does as well. If any school is has classeless fans it's Uni. Look in the mirror.

That date has nothing to do with it. The swap of Presbyterian for NDSU was announced in October, 2010. Coastal Carolina pulling out on us was announced in February, 2011, and the addition of Tusculum was announced after that. Maybe it was karma that it went that way, but the fact is that we did not replace NDSU with a D-II team. The ridiculous assertion that we were scared to play NDSU, as though our players or coaches petitioned our AD to make changes to in order avoid the Bison, is just that.

Hello BB, nice to see your post (and avatar). My wife was watching ticket prices last week. One day there was a flight from Savannah to Fargo for $631.00 and literally the next day it had gone up to $1,051.00. I know of me and about 10 others that plan to be there, and I'm sure there will be some others, but all-in-all it looks to be a slim crowd (figureatively, not literally, since I'll be a part of it).

[BisonBacker]

Game of the year. Period. xnodx

No offense to the two other teams in the playoffs yet but this already had the feeling of thee championship game. Gonna be a whale of a game.

[BisonBacker]

I have dealt with both Fanbases and I would give the cockiness crown to the ndsu bizon. You guys are good fans but lakes puts out more cockiness than the entire uni fanbase combined.
Which is excatly why I refer to him as an A$$douche. He does more to ruin the image of NDSU fans than anyone or combination of people I know.

This Bison fan just scored tickets for the game!! I was flying into Minneapolis/St. Paul on Friday afternoon anyways. I am also pleased to say that 3 generations of my family (Grandpa, Me, & Son) will enjoy a phenomenal game together with Saturday's game being Dad & Son's first game to attend ever! I may have to sneak over to the student section and teach them how I did it old-school!

Awesome. That sounds like a really special moment for you guys. Be sure to get a picture of the three of you while you are there and share it with us later. I'm sure even a GSU fan will be happy to take that pic for you. After all, it's not every day you get to see 3 generations of TEARS after a loss in the same photo.

I would contend that a good number of us Bison fans are great people, even on this board. It's the Scandinavian/Canadian influence

Canadian influence????? Other than the occasional Canadian quarter not working in a vending machine, there isn't a lot of Canadian influence in North Dakota.

Grandparents on my dad's side came from Canada, grew up playing little league in a mixed US/Canada league, and even played exhibition HS basketball in Canada. 1/2 of my HS class was born in Canada (nearest hospital). Depends on which part of ND you grew up in.

Canada shares a border with ND. My grandparents were born in Saskatchewan where my great grandparents settled after coming from Norway. See how that works?

Here is the official press release from the GSU athletic department concerning our buy out of the NDSU game.

Home Date in 2011 Replaces North Dakota State Game (http://www.georgiasoutherneagles.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=18700&ATCLID=205016215)

"STATESBORO, Ga. - Georgia Southern Athletics has announced the cancellation of the September 17, 2011 North Dakota State football game originally scheduled to be played in Fargo, N.D. The contest was added to the Eagles' schedule to fill an opening created when East Tennessee State dropped its football program. Presbyterian College will replace North Dakota State in a game to be played at Paulson Stadium on October 22nd, giving the Eagles six home games for the 2011 campaign."

Are there any more questions you need to have answered about this buyout?

Sure, but that's not where the overwhelming majority of people live in the state. For 90+ percent of the state, Canada could just as well on the other side of the planet.

[Baldy]

Are you kidding? Go through this thread and see that the NDSU fans are only posting in an attempt to derail the overwhelming conversation involving Alamaba, the TO, 6 championships, blah blah blah.

The only thing that needs to be derailed is your fans' constant harping about beating Minnesota, 8 DII championships, and your destruction of a Patriot league team who was missing it's best player. xrotatehx

I have dealt with both Fanbases and I would give the cockiness crown to the ndsu bizon. You guys are good fans but lakes puts out more cockiness than the entire uni fanbase combined.

I believe that fanbase has kicked Lakes off their own fan forum which a few other forums could take as a best practice (see UNI)

Now I can add to the harping, NDSU beat GSU in 2006 (when nobody on either squad was on the team), and GSU bought out our return trip to Fargo because we're scared ( xlmaox )

[pike51]

Seriously? Are NDSU fans really still butt hurt about the whole buyout thing? Hold a grudge much? Get the **** over it already!! Think about it, if we had come earlier this year, you wouldn't have gotten the #2 seed and GSU would be hosting a game this weekend. Consider it a gift.

You pansy *** little cry baby *****es. STFU already!!

Oh, and just a little ticket update. Reserved seating is sold out. General admin seating is almost sold out. I barely scored a ticket. It will come to SRO and that will sell out too I'm sure. The student section will be sold out come their release. Tickets sales have only been open for 3 hours. This game will be completely sold out, meaning there will be 19,700 screaming Bison fans! That's 1700 more than the past 2 games!

My prediction: This thread will reach 100 pages by the middle of the week.

Both teams have their share of "We can't be beaten" folks.

The reality is this game in all probably will come down to who turns over the ball less and 2-4 critical plays in the game, possibly special teams plays.

I would be surprised if this game is not within 7 points one way or the other.

What usually is the run/pass ratio for NDSU?

[bisonguy]

What usually is the run/pass ratio for NDSU?


Depends on what the defense is doing, but typically it's 50/50 or pretty close.

On the entire season, NDSU has 301 passing attempts and 457 rushing attempts, but there were some games where they ran a lot more if the defense couldn't stop it.

[GSU Eagle]

The last 2 weeks we have tried to defend pass it all over the yard offenses. The result was better defensively vs. Maine than ODU but we definitely have had our struggles trying to get good passing offenses off of the field. What we have done very well the last few games is move the ball and score points. We have developed many weapons on offense and since we made a change at B back several weeks ago it is difficult for other teams to shut our offense down totally. I know NDSU takes pride in their defense and it will be very interesting to see how the battle between the GSU offense and NDSU defense goes in this game.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Don't forget to stick around this week with your chippy butthurtedness comments. What would a NDSU thread be without them?

Me personally or just UNI fans in general? I don't recall talking much crap on NDSU this year. You have a good team, and the team deserves to be where they are at. I have stated all along I think this will be a great game. The only people who don't seem to think so are NDSU or GSU fans. They seem to think their team is going to dominate the other one.

I think it will be tough for NDSU to stop the Triple option, but I think they have the talent to do it. GSU is no slouch of a team either. There is a reason both teams were in the Top 5 all season long, and are still playing with only 4 teams left. Which ever team limits mistakes will probably be the one who comes out on top.

Good luck to both!

[The Eagle's Cliff]

Dude, Drago lost.

He said that to Apollo Creed, who died from the fight.

[GSU Eagle]

The GSU defense has played pretty well for most of the season, but good passing teams or teams with very athletic quarterbacks have given us trouble. 2 weeks ago vs. ODU we struggled in a major way to stop them. I really think our defense is better designed vs. run oriented teams. I know NDSU has a big O line and they like to pound the ball. Our defense sees that everyday in practice vs. the offense that we run.

I am not extremely confident in our defense at this point, but what has saved us is our offense and our special teams. We have made many big plays in K return/punt returns this year and our FG kicker even though he missed a FG vs. Maine has been very, very good this year.

To me the big question in this game is how NDSU's D fares against our TO offense.

[Grizzlies82]

[ChiefGSU275]

What's the GSU defense like?

They have their moments where the pass rush can create pressure, but we have trouble with mobile qb's who can escape. Secondary is good, makes plays but has a tendency to get beat. Tackling is an issue. Our run defense is pretty solid, our linebackers play well.

I agree, I would like to learn more about GSU's team and any other important information on their city, history, or fun facts. I could google it but firsthand information is more entertaining.

[BisonBabe]

Everyone needs to just put aside GSU not making it up earlier this year. Stuff happens and it is way past time to move on. I look forward to meeting the GSU fans that travel. Yes Fargo is cold but so far this has been a pretty nice winter (where the he!! is that wood so I can knock on it) We don't have any snow as of yet but there has been a chill in the air. Tailgating will great as always and with the game indoors there is no wind ... your boys better beware of the carpet monster it tends to get you when you least expect it. All of us are looking forward to replacing the current carpet so you won't find us disagreeing about it being crap.

Take care and travel safe to all who are heading up here.

[GSU Eagle]

Most knowledgeable GSU fans know this will be a very tough game. I would feel alot better about our chances if this game were in Statesboro and had we beat Appalachian this year it probably would be. But it is what it is. I expect relatively few GSU fans to make this trip. I would say 300-400 at the most. If we can manage a win I would expect many many more GSU fans to go to Texas for the championship game.

Win or lose this should be a close game. I may be wrong but I don't see NDSU as a team that will score loads of points. I also believe NDSU is fully capable of limiting the GSU T0 offense. Last year we lost in the semis at Delaware when we turned the ball over 5 times. We absolutely can't have many turnovers and have any chance.

I am looking forward to seeing the game on TV. If we can get to Texas I am planning to make it to that game. Most Eagle fans are like me-- can't make the trip to Fargo and one to Texas in 3 weeks. So we are hoping for the best and hoping we can get to Texas.

[BisonBabe]

It is a damn shame that both our teams can't go to Frisco...but since they can't I hope like hell it is the Bison :)

You also are talking about a game where 99,500 of the people in Bryant Denny Stadium expected the Tide to roll easily in that game.

[GSU EAGLES]

You also are talking about a game where 99,500 of the people in Bryant Denny Stadium expected the Tide to roll easily in that game. Sure, the crowd was plenty noisy just because they love college football but the electricity level will be completely different in an elimination game with a national title game birth on the line.

Yeah, that 4th and goal from the 3 when we were an inch from cutting the lead to 10 with 7 minutes to go in the game the crowd just sat back not worried at all and were completely quiet. You guys are just talking our of you a** with no clue about what actually happened. Take away our blocked FG for a TD and we could have been tying the game with 7 minutes to go in the 4th. If and buts, but if we had a few more breaks go our way it could have been very interesting.

[Eaglesrus]

I watched the GSU game. One dimensional team that will have trouble with the crowd noise. This match up favors the home team.


20k with a roof louder than 100k without. Especially from the 30 yd line on in. Ask the players after the game they will yell you just likw the two previous teams.

Yep, we're one-dimensional; only threw 8 passes. Somehow we did complete 7 of them, but were rolling up 360 rushing yards so it hardly seems that it was necessary to throw more. Please tell me which teams among James Madison's and Lehigh's opponents play in front of 100,000 fans? Guess we'll find out how intimidated our boys are on Saturday.

[GSU EAGLES]

NDSU is not going to know what hit them.........

Our offense has been unstopable since Swope emerged in the Alabama game. The only way they will slow us down is if we commit turnovers, but Shaw has been very good at protecting the ball.

If you watch the Alabama game we were just gashing them all day long. We just struggled stopping their offense which limited the number of possesions our offense had. Somehow, I just don't think NDSU will do better than Bama.

It has nothing to do with intimidation, it has everything to do with not being able to hear yourself think. Nobody cares if you're intimidated or not, but you are going to be looking at a few 1st and 15s when the Db level gets up over 100, which it tends to do during defensive drives.

How many false start penalties did you ahve last week at home? Double it at a minimum.

[BisonBabe]

Will you be at the game? Tailgating? I think we'll be up there about 10 am so I can see how campus has changed in the last decade and hang out before the game to soak up a great atmosphere.

We should be up there for tailgating this coming weekend. Will be our first opportunity all year .... Swaghook the kids and perhaps a few extras will be me ....

Cutting the lead to 10 with 7 minutes to go? You really think that worried them when they hadn't punted all game? xeyebrowx

GSU is certainly capable of dealing with the noise but it'll be a much different environment than it was in Tuscaloosa in 11/19.

Uhhh, they were neck and neck with Ok State at the time trying to get a BCS berth so they knew they needed to win pretty for the polls. They may have had the W under control, but the game was definitely too close for comfort for the potential national champion against a measley FCS team.

Use your head to think a little before posting. I am starting to think NDSU fans' noggins are frozen solid. :)

Which obviously had nothing to do with the noise level being as how we were at home. So, we say we've been in similar situations, noise-wise, and handled it, y'all say that's impossible. We'll see Saturday.

Crowd noise will be an issue for GSU but it wont be the deciding factor of the game. They have played in front of big crowds.

That's exaxctly the point. An undisciplined team without noise will have more than small trouble with the noise. Your right we will see on Saturday.

Shaw is a Senior QB that is very poised. Sagarin gives 3 points for home field which is about right for this game as well.

Shaw has mastered holding the pitch until the very last second, which frees the A-Back for open lanes. Sometimes they could probably count his pitches as passes as he is waiting so late they are often moving forward.

It appears the citadel did a pretty nice job slowing them down even though eventually losing.

App State certainly was able to do.

Its all about winning the battle up front and causing turnovers, both are things the bison defense has done a pretty good job with this year.

That game was pre Dominique Swope who is the first back at GSU that has garnered legitimate comparisons to Adrian Peterson. Totally different offense as he hits the hole so fast and can make the quick cut if it opens up.

See how good he is in the Bama game. Please note this Bama D was the best defense statistically against the run in the last 20 years.

That last second tends to come rather quickly when dealing with the Bison D Line. Physical, quick, and strong.

You can spin it however you want to. I just don't see the point in constantly trying to champion your team because they didn't get blown out in a game where they were expected to get blown out of. This isn't the pinewood derby. I'm not disputing that your guys played well against Bama, they played very well and represented the FCS quite well against the best defense in the country but the outcome of the game was never in serious doubt after Bama returned that blocked FG for a touchdown.

Your win over Wofford, to me, was more impressive than hanging moderately close to Bama.

[Gil Dobie]

If GSU runs over NDSU I'll be the first to say congrats. Maine gave up 10 points a game more than NDSU this year, and they gave up 10 more points to JMU than NDSU did.

[BisonBabe]

This is why the playoffs happen. So that our teams can prove it on the field. Anything could happen come Saturday but anyone who is predicting a blow out on either side is delusional and should seek medical attention.

[bisonnation]

Our former president from St Cloud, MN scheduled the idiotic series with NDSU in 2006. We wanted a 6th home game and bought out the game scheduled against them this year in November 2010 and scheduled Presbyterian at home. Some of their fans have claimed it's because GSU is "afraid" to play them when we just saw no reason to travel 1500 miles and lose

No, it was more than our blocking and execution. I have no clue what the F happened during The Citadel game.

Agree. I don't see this being more than a 7 point win for either team.

[BisonBohl]

So you are saying theres a chance!!! I might go to the game afterall.


Kidding aside, the triple option is going to be a phenomenal challenge for us, it at times will without a doubt give us fits. I expect a very well played game against two very worth opponents and should be decided by one score. Of course me being a Bison fan I'm going to lean it in favor of my team and the home dome should help. But I would be lying if I said that i be surprised if it went the other way.

24-21 Bison!

Citadel runs pretty much the exact offense that GSU runs and the O coordinator was once on the GSU staff under Paul Johnson. GSU pretty much laid an egg that day, and fumbled the ball away on the Citadel one yard line early in the game. Brent Russell didn't play that game and the team was just flat. But 14 is more than 12.

Frankly App State had circled their game with GSU on the calendar a year ago. You see, GSU knocked them out of the #1 ranking when they beat them in Paulson. The series between the to schools is just about 50/50 and it is a huge rival game. GSU was the third triple option team that App faced this year, and they've been playing against this offense to a couple of decades. To be honest, that was the best App St played the entire season, and GSU still had a chance to win. Apps winning TD was being juggled out of bounds by their WR Quick, but without the advantage of replay, the score held up.

You guys know about rival games don't you? The better team doesn't always win them.

After the Citadel game Ga. Southern made changes on the offensive line and made Swope a starter.

The offense has looked great ever since!

No due to circumstances beyond either teams control the game had to be cancelled. Perhaps we can schedule a game again another year. May what happened to cause the cancellation of that game never ever happen again.

Last I checked, two teams have stopped them and many others came close. Your team got buttraped because your team sucks. This is NDSU. They will be much, much harder than Maine was. Sorry, but you should just go stick with your butthockey.

Also, if you knew anything, you would know that it is not oil sands that are in ND. F***, even a quick Google search would have told you that...

[NDSUdonny]

Most knowledgeable GSU fans know this will be a very tough game. I would feel alot better about our chances if this game were in Statesboro and had we beat Appalachian this year it probably would be. But it is what it is. I expect relatively few GSU fans to make this trip. I would say 300-400 at the most. If we can manage a win I would expect many many more GSU fans to go to Texas for the championship game.

Win or lose this should be a close game. I may be wrong but I don't see NDSU as a team that will score loads of points. I also believe NDSU is fully capable of limiting the GSU T0 offense. Last year we lost in the semis at Delaware when we turned the ball over 5 times. We absolutely can't have many turnovers and have any chance.

I am looking forward to seeing the game on TV. If we can get to Texas I am planning to make it to that game. Most Eagle fans are like me-- can't make the trip to Fargo and one to Texas in 3 weeks. So we are hoping for the best and hoping we can get to Texas.

I hope they were on the ball to get tickets. Everything except GA went in about 50 minutes. Now the only hope is when they open up standing room and season tickets that get released

[mainejeff]

Last I checked, two teams have stopped them and many others came close. Your team got buttraped because your team sucks. This is NDSU. They will be much, much harder than Maine was. Sorry, but you should just go stick with your butthockey.

Also, if you knew anything, you would know that it is not oil sands that are in ND. F***, even a quick Google search would have told you that...

North Dakota.......the Land of Nowhere.

[bullitt_60]

Sooooooooo the game...

I watched the NDSU/Lehigh game today so I could speak intelligently about the Bison and have a better idea of what we are up against. I'm glad to see that NDSU runs a pro set offense and is more run intensive than the two CAA teams we have faced thus far. I think given the Eagles recent struggles in pass coverage, this may be a bit of relief. NDSU is a well coached team... they look like someone shrunk a Big 10 team in the wash.

On defense NDSU looks solid at all positions, but will have to change the mindset of their secondary to be much more physical compared to Lehigh. I couldn't tell too much about the LBs as they were dropping back on pass coverage every play, but they look fairly quick. NDSU may have a terrific D-line, but they will spend the majority of the game laying on the turf. Speaking of the turf, I'm worried how the Eagles will cope. It's a surface that more than likely none of our players have played on. I think this could be a bigger factor than crowd noise.

[FargoBison]

You'd probably be better off watching NDSU's JMU game...we ran a special defensive scheme basically geared on making throwing the football very difficult against Lehigh. We were showing looks that we really hadn't shown much all year, we ran a lot of nickle defense as well. Obviously none of that is relevant vs GSU.

Sounds like we'll get Colten Heagle back this week, he is very good against the run. Great tackler that hits like a Mack truck. I am kind of interested in seeing how Marcus Williams impacts this game defensively, he is a great cover corner but from what I've seen he isn't the most physical CB.

[FargoBison]

The turf is definitely very unique, it requires a special shoe. I believe JMU spent $4k to buy turf shoes before playing us, that said some of the Lehigh players wore basketball shoes.

[seantaylor]

It will be an easy victory for the Eagles. The tough part will be finding one who-oar in Fargo worth 2 holing.

[GoEagles]

3 of your National Championships were won years we did not have a football team. 8 Championships is incredibly impressive. No one can argue that it takes a great program to do this. When looking at our 6 Div 1-AA (FCS) Championships, keep in mind, our football program is 30 years old (47 years if you consider the 17 years played before the program was suspended during WW2). Your program has existed since 1894.

NDSU's football program was pretty bad prior to 1964, and it resurged with Dr Victory, Darrell Mudra, whom GSU defeated in the 1985 Semi-final as coach of UNI.
All the Championships have come since 1964.

I hope they were on the ball to get tickets. Everything except GA went in about 50 minutes. Now the only hope is when they open up standing room and season tickets that get released

You're required to send 500 tickets to the visiting team. Doubtful we sell all of those but the opportunity will be there for any fans wanting to go.

NDSU & GSU Side Note: This game is going to be fascinating for me that's for sure
and here's why... The Bison Defense against that triple option has me absolutely intrigued like no other game has all season

I've been doing some research on the triple option these last few days and I'm slowly shifting over from the "It's like watching paint dry" camp to... OMG..!!! It's brilliant

[TwoFeathers]

Cleets. You are correct. It's so simple, it's brilliant. I think the original philosophy was, if you can get 4 yards on every run, you never have to pass the ball. And if you can get defenders to "take themselves out of the play", you can get those 4 yards. However, because Ga Southern runs it so well, and has excellent athletes at the QB, A-Back and B-Back positions, they are getting 6+ yards per carry, and breaking off big runs of 30+ yards in every game.

Look at the Maine game, Ga Southern time of possession was like 44 minutes to 14. That kills the opposing defense.

[TwoFeathers]

If you Google Paul Johnson's Triple Option, or something like that, you can actually find his original playbook, with his philosophy, etc... Pretty interesting. Not that it would really help any opponent. Just an interesting read.

[BisonBabe]

Gonna be a long long long week....is it Saturday yet??

[TwoFeathers]

Cleets, on the third vid, notice the QB keeps the ball, and fakes the upfield run, which gets the defenders committed to him, then pitches to the trailing A-back. The play-side reciever actually breaks inside to block the safety, also taking the cornerback away from the play. Then the leading A-back makes the critical block on the cornerback to open up the second level of that play.

Great break-down video.

You could run that all-day-long, and the defender(s) will always take themselves out of the play, by making the wrong decisions.

[TwoFeathers]

I'm guessing you have to have 1) Excellent defensive line play to nullify the dive option, 2) defenders who can shed/avoid blocks and 3) fast defenders who can make reads and get to the ball quickly. I think in the Delaware game, Delaware was able to get into the backfield and disrupt the QB and/or the pitch.

That third clip is PURE GOLD...

The whole "Weeks to prepare" argument seems valid...
The record of triple option teams during the regular season is impressive - but - when you look at the bowl record... it's not at all impressive

Where as a spread or pro-set offense says:
we're going to isolate our best and fastest 2 guys and move them way over there, now you figure out how to stop them, meanwhile we'll short slant, draw and screen you to death

[NDSU_grad]

I think the best example of a team defending the triple option really well with time to prepare was Iowa vs. Georgia Tech a few years ago in the Orange Bowl. Iowa was able to stop the dive play with their front 4, allowing linebackers and secondary to focus on the quarterback and the pitch. Iowa pretty much completely shut them down.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

The way I see it: The TO relies on ample ability for the QB to get outside and make the aforementioned decisions about who/whether to pass it or keep it. The noise in the Fargodome is going to cause some false starts and mess up the timing a little bit (trust me, this isn't Bryant Denny stadium, it's louder). This is also a big physical defense who is super pissed about the EWU game last year and is looking for blood on every play (see Chris Lum, he was running for his life on almost every play)

The Bison linebackers are fast, smart and very sure tacklers. They were able to drop into pass coverage because there was no worries about a run. It is almost the exact opposite this week. The dirty little secret is the Bison rotate 8 guys or something on the defensive line so they are almost always fresh, that makes games very long for the opposing O Line.

As I said before, I believe the Bison will be able to mitigate the Eagles TO offense, maybe a lot of yards but not a lot of points.

You can watch the highlights of the Delaware vs. Ga Southern game from the semi's last year on the Delaware Football website. Pretty good. They covered the 'options' pretty well, and forced a few crucial turnovers. Overall outstanding defense of the Triple Option.

The Dive has been a very important part of the 3 options for Ga Southern. If the NDSU Defensive line can get backfield during that 'mesh' decision, and force some disruptions, it will get the offense out of sync and cause things like turnovers. The most important thing is to get them in long down situations, and stop them on 3rd down. If they can get some stops and punts, they can take the initiative away from the Eagles.
