The Battle for the Dakota Marker: #17 SDSU @ #1 NDSU

[Thumper 76]

Let's GET IT ON!!! Real question will be if SDSU's o line can play markedly better or if they keep up the status quo and allow Lujan to get pummeled all game.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

What is the over under on Zenners this year?

I was guessing he is going to have a monster game and get probably 10.

[Professor Chaos]

I think the big concern from SDSU's side has to be their O-line play and their QB's propensity to thrown INTs. NDSU has a beastly pass rush and opportunistic safeties who are more than capable of forcing turnovers. SDSU needs their O-line to give Zenner some running room because they need him to carry them more than ever against NDSU to have a chance to win.

From NDSU's perspective everything appears to be humming except for some sloppy execution offensively (especially in the red zone) but even with that their offense is still in the top 25 in the country. The defense has been lights out lately even with a few injured starters not being able to play here and there.

NDSU is carrying a 5 game winning streak in the series coming into this game but SDSU is going to be in desperation mode so they really have everything to gain. Everything points to an NDSU win here, almost too much for my liking. This may be my Vikings fan paranoia coming out but it seems like these are the games that the football gods decide to turn everything upside down from what you thought going in.

Having said that I'll still say NDSU 34 SDSU 14. Zenner once again struggles to find holes in the Bison defense and finishes with about 50 yards rushing and a TD.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Even if NDSU loses a game this year they should still be ranked number 1.

When you win 30+ games in a row you deserve a mulligan and lets face it. Most of you will only drop them because you already want to. If you are honest and fair they stay where they are since most of you only feel the need to drop a bad team like Ewu 5 spots.

There is no way NDSU should drop period, continue on with your fashion show.

[KUlawJack]

This is what I posted on the SDSU board. I am too lazy to redo it:

All right, let's blow the top off this thing. I will be in attendance in Fargo.

Line play will be crucial this weekend, especially our offensive line play. NDSU has the most formidable defensive front in FCS. If the Jacks hope to have a shot, we have to neutralize their defensive front, which will be the toughest task all year. Keep in mind, UNI also has a very formidable front seven. NDSU plays at an even higher level than that.

Hopefully Schneider can go as we will need our full compliment of offensive weapons. (He missed the YSU game)

On defense, we have to stop the run a lot better than we did against YSU. That was pitiful. DL and LBs washed away and missed tackles by safeties on the backside cutbacks all day long. We have to be much more fundamentally sound. Time to scrap the zone read bull **** and focus the DL on getting up field and causing some havoc with LBs fitting gaps properly. If I watch Bobbitt (WLB) make the wrong fit one more time I may scream. Dallas Brown (SLB) also made some critical errors filling gaps last Saturday.

Our lack of a pass rusher is killing us right now. We can't get there and may have to blitz more and take the risk of getting beat. We made a freshman look like an All-American in his first true road game.

Now, with all that re-posted, I do not like our chances one bit in Fargo this weekend. I'd like to keep it within 2 scores. That'd be good for me. Not for the team, obviously. After that, we need to roll through ISU-B, WIU, and USD. No easy task playing at Terre Haute and ending the season with a rivalry game. We will have our backs against the wall for the second year in a row with 3 weeks remaining in the season. Yuck.

[RabidRabbit]

Bison have been a HUGE thorn to the Jackrabbits advancement in the MVFC and FCS. But with over 100 football games between these border rivals and like land-grants, SDSU/NDSU have been good for each other.

Think that the injuries for the Jacks, and thin ranks will be exposed by Bison D, and O-lines. Jacks will need to +2 or 3 TO, and even or + in TOP to have a chance. There are 4 good teams left for the Bison. Unfortunately, the Marker game never gets overlooked between these two teams. May this game be a repeat of the 2007 GWFC championship game.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Hey guys. a Zenner is 4 yards, not 14.

Bunnies are in for a world of hurt, that is all.

Good point!!

Will Zenner get to 50 yards?

[wow]

They couldn't score 1 on their home field with the same people.

SDSU did hold the Bison to a season low 20 points last year though. I guess that's something? :(

[FargoBison]

SDSU does seem to play NDSU tough defensively, that said I'm not sure there is a team that struggles more against NDSU's defense then SDSU. Zenner's numbers against NDSU and teams not named NDSU are mind boggling.

[Theee Catrabbit]

Let's see anything said here will pretty much be **** on by Bizzzzzzon Frise fans so, and by the end of the week the prediction by all will be Bison a Google and Rabbits -55. I do have to say if Schneider doesn't play, it will be a very hard game to win. you cant miss your All Conference QB and your All conference WR and say everything is going to be hunky dory.
Correct jacks will not score 10, but still win.

Jack 9 Bison 6:)

Do you really think the Jacks offense can consistently move the ball and score?

The Bison have won 5 in a row vs the Jacks and #6 is coming on Saturday!

Jacks are not good enough offensively to consistently beat the Bison defense. I'm sure the Jacks defense will sell out to try and stop the run but Wentz is too good. The Bison offense is well balanced and is really moving the ball effectively.

Bison win 35-6

No I don't, but I don't think I said that anywhere either genius. I was pointing out how the commentary was most likely similar to the commentary for this game. But hell don't let me stop you.

Side note. IF, and that's a big IF, the SDSU line plays halfway decent and schnieder plays I think they could move the ball a bit. Enough to put up 24-30 points, nope. But with how the D played last year we didn't need that. They ended up wore out eventually but if SDSU had put up ANY sort of drives to give them a rest I doubt that ndsu puts up as many points as they did late. So is it possible that the Jacks could pull the upset? Yup, half the team played well enough to lay year IMHO, but the offense did literally nothing, kudos to the bison D.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Nut up buddy!!

OK....so I won't hurt your feelings.....Jacks will roll the Bison 50-0. And the only reason the Bison have won 3. NCs is because they cheated in the Jacks game, keeping the juggernaut that is SDSU out of their rightful NCs.

Is that better lil buddy?

But just to satisfy the bison fans, the Jacks will give up 37 sacks and lose 85 to -3.

Realistically the Jacks are goin to lose and really just would be a good effort for SDSU to keep it tight at the end with how both teams are playing.

It is funny how ndsu fans call other fans sensitive with their reactions to polls and anybody suggesting there is a way their team could win against them.

Realistically this game should be pretty close by paper. However, last year NDSU held the Jackrabbits scoreless with almost the same personnel. I'm not saying no one improves between here and now...but it's a start.

My take is that if Lujan is going to be rushed in the pocket all game, it's going to be a long game for the Rabbits. If they give him time, it'll be a long game for both teams.

That's my assumption as well, as the Rabbits have given up 26 sacks on the year already...but things change when you're playing for the Marker.

Ok...realistically. If the Bison play their game and do not give the Jacks short fields they will win. The Jacks defense is not as good as the 07, 09 and 12 versions so I do not think they can consistently stop the Bison. Plus the game is in Fargo.

I like Coach Stig and the Jacks but they are not as good as they have been.

Sure the Jacks could win but it is going to take multiple mistakes by the Bison.

Call it what you want but that is how I see it!!

I agree. The jacks defense has really struggled this year. That could be because their offense isn't as good either with Sumner out. I honestly didn't think Sumner was that big of a factor but maybe he was better then I thought. Maybe the oline is just bad this year? Definitely appears as though the jacks lines have taken a step back and IMO that has been the main difference in this game over the years. If the Jacks can't hold their own at the LOS it's going to be a long day for them.

I think if he gets sacked 5+ times it means that the Bison win big because the Jacks are throwing the ball too much. It's somewhat shocking to me how easily the SDSU OC has gotten put off his game by the Bison defense the last few years. In his 4 career games against NDSU the most carries Zenner has had in one game has been 15 and last year he had 8. The Jacks threw the ball 30 times in last year's game and it was one score game until the 10:36 mark of the 4th quarter. I'd think they have to feed Zenner and even if he gets stuffed early they have to stick with him because they're going to get sacked or turned over (or both) constantly if they try to drop Lujan back that many times on Saturday.

I will give kudos to SDSU they make dang good ice cream. I will also say that my son, 3.5 last year, and I had a great time playing football on the practice field East of the stadium last year during halftime. Then we got some nice pictures of us Sam Ojuri, Derek Lang and the Dakota Marker and the GIANT SDSU scoreboard.

A Zenner is 4 yards, 12 feet or 144 inches or the game rushing total from Zach Zenner against the Bison defense last year.

Should also be noted the most commonly accepted method to acquire a zenner is 8 separate actions, resulting in an average of .5 yards, 1.5 ft or 18 inches per action.

I remember a few years ago both USC and UCLA wore their home jerseys for the game against each other. This had to be okayed by each team and the NCAA.

The same thing is happening with the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail party this weekend. Again this was okayed by both teams and the NCAA.

I am not sure under what circumstances the NCAA has to okay this sort of thing though. Like if the yellow is technically considered a 'Dark' uniform then the NCAA would have to give permission for SDSU to wear blue.

Never said it was, just said it wouldn't happen.

[Thumper 76]

Never said it was, just said it wouldn't happen.

I misspoke, I should have said at the idea that SDSU would ever be allowed to try to wear their blues.

[344Johnson]

If the road team were allowed to deviate from the NCAA mandated white, it would draw attention.

I don't see who would possibly care...


It would have to be considered such because they would need permission to wear white at home.

LSU gets permission all the time....I don't think the NCAA cares too much.

[SUPharmacist]

I misspoke, I should have said at the idea that SDSU would ever be allowed to try to wear their blues.

I am just concerned about what color socks SDSU is allowed to wear. If it is anything other than white our entire society might come apart.

[Thumper 76]

What if they wore blue and yellow striped socks, and one blue shoe and one yellow one, randomly alternating between players which color left was and which color the right shoe was!?!?!?!?

Oh the humanity!!!!!!!

Geez Can't we have some fun in here, anymore? Good natured rivalry? I do figure if the Jacks win, it will be really low. It's just as good a guess as anyone else has. So, I'm going to pick my team. How about 14-10 Jacks.....is that more palatable? I'm a fan not an analyst. Just like I assume every Bison fan will predict a blowout.

I just don't see the Jacks holding the Bison to 6 points. Yeah our offense has shown a propensity to struggle in the red zone but still our Kicker is good. To only score 6 points the Bison would have to be held to a season low in offensive output (yardage not score) to where we couldn't even get Keller the chance to kick field goals. Yeah that 6 points for the Bison isn't happening.

No, but I am prepared for the celebratory ****storm that'll happen here when it happens. If I was on the other side I would be the same way, we've been dishing it out for well over 2 years now so there's a lot a **** that's ready to be slung back at us once the opportunity arises.

We've already won. A record that will be very hard to break, 3 straight championships and a solid footing in the division. If they lost this weekend or any weekend, I wouldn't even care.

I've been growing a kind of playoff beard for this season, my wife cannot WAIT until the Bison lose, it's getting ridiculous.

It's a missed 2 pt attempt for the win.

[semobison]

I expect a good hard nose game. Last year NDSU only led 7-0 after 3 quarters and the Jacks held us to a season low 20 points. Unfortunately for SDSU, they were shut out!

Oh, I'm glad to be on the NDSU side of it instead of the other but I'm pretty sure it won't matter and there's going to be plenty of crowing about the fall of the evil empire when NDSU finally does drop a game, especially in the playoffs. It's alright, it comes with the territory and I'll be more than happy to take some bashing after this sustained run of excellence whenever it ends.

I predict no dumpster fire, no suicides, no hard feelings, and we will give the team who beats us credit instead of the usual "we played the worst game ever".

You understand nothing about the NDSU football program and its fans. You are judging an entire fan base due to 3 or 4 NDSU trolls.

100% agreed! NDSU might not lose a game this year but if they do I will come on here, like many other NDSU fans, and give credit to the team that got the job done. Most NDSU fans realize this amazing ride will not go on forever but dang is it awesome right now.

Yes some NDSU fans are very loud and obnoxious but most of us are not. We enjoy talking football with other teams fans and talking about our team.

When someone finally beats NDSU it will take them at least 28 points to do it.

Oh I am aware :)

These are the exact reasons why I say this. The 17-14 loss to ISUb was an anomaly. The loss the year before to YSU the Guins got 27 (close enough to 28). I don't know why people think the way to beat NDSU is a low scoring game. The way to do it is to figure out how to score on them. The last loss before that EWU got 38.

Not necessarily. Our last 2 losses were by less then that.

Nobody will be on suicide watch when NDSU loses. Pretty sure most fans expected a loss to happen by now and some probably still expect a loss yet this year. It's been an unbelievable run but it'll end at some point. Life goes on.

Because it's way easier to shut our offense down then it is to score on our defense.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Of course it is, but holding the Bison offense to say 17 doesn't matter if you can only score 10 against their defense. I use that for example as 17 is the least amount of points you have scored in the last two years. You have to score to beat the Bison plain and simple (or hope they gift you two pick sixes).

Well which is easier scoring 17 on us or holding us to 10? I'm of the opinion it would be way easier to win a 13-10 game then a 27-24 game.

Considering since 2011 (the start of the run) you have been held to 10 or fewer points once. You have given up 17 or more 15 times. So it is easier to get to 17.

I dont think too much can be said when the Bison eventually lose a game. Even when the Jacks beat you, I really look at it and say "Great! but can we sustain it again next year?" It's hard to get pompous over a team that has owned the FCS for 3 years. "Let he who is without a loss cast the first stone" -Touchdown Jebus.

I find this extremely hard to believe. You guys are on a 30+ game win streak, and "we played the worst game ever" stuff comes out if anybody is within 2 touchdowns.

I mean if it's the truth why not say it? WTF are you supposed to do if you fumble the ball away 3 times in the red zone or throw 2 pick 6's and lose by a FG? You telling me you wouldn't be tempted to say "we played horrible and gave the game away"?

If we get out played and beaten that's one thing but I'm not about to sugar coat **** so it tastes better!

The thing is anybody with a good team can spin their losses that way, saying well you won because we turned it over, our line didn't play well like usual, our coaching staff called a bad game, ect. Like it or not what happens on the field is the result of one team outplaying the other in some facet of the game. Obviously those fumbles were caused by something and somebody caught those pick sixes and ran them back. It's why football is the ultimate TEAM game. If one side of the ball gets outplayed so badly you lose, the whole team beat you. And when that happens you can either say well we just played like crap or you can tip your hat to the other team. It's not sugar coating **** to say the other team beat you on the field. It's sugar coating it so the loss is easier to swallow as a fan when you say well we had a bad game.

Do teams have bad games? Yep, some more than others, but unless one team is beating the day lights out of the other in a blowout, in a close game every fan base can say they beat themselves, IE how UNI fans and ndsu fans react if SDSU beats them. They are always close games and both fan bases feel they are much better than SDSU is so they spin it into we beat ourselves no way they should have beat us, ect.

All the things you talk about are a part of the game that happen all the time, not some kind of anomaly that only happens when the Bison lose.

You say you don't want to sugar coat *** so it tastes better, but that is exactly what you are doing when you say "we played horrible and gave the game away." Not sugar coating it would be to say "we were beaten by a better team today." Or at least "they played better than us today."

Yes but you can see thru the BS if it's BS.

I was fully prepared to give UNI all of the credit had we lost to them last year. Yes we had some stupid turnovers but they clearly had out played us thru 3 quarters of that game. I didn't feel slighted when UNI fans said they gave us that game. I would have felt the same.

The ISUb game in 2012 was completely different IMO as we basically gift wrapped them 14 points and another pick in FG range to at least tie the game. Their offense put a total of 3 points on the board. We were clearly the better team. I still congratulated them on the win.

Looking forward to another really physical game this year.

Here's an unpopular Bison post, but a healthy SDSU team I feel has the exact formula to beat the Bison. Problem is I don't think they are healthy enough, especially without Sumner. Last year if they wouldn't have completely gone away from Zenner they would have had a much better chance, but when you stop trying to run and just pass the ball you will not beat us. If SDSU plays physical on the lines and tries to stay around 50/50 run/pass they will be able to hang around and give themselves a chance. I feel we are not out coaching anyone this year and definitely not wearing teams out this year like we have in the past. Instead we are simply out-talenting the other team.

So you think the fact that NDSU is outscoring opponents 140-24 in the second half this season is due purely to talent? I think the "talent" on the NDSU football team would disagree with you.


I find your comment rather silly that the Bison aren't wearing teams down. What team have you been watching? How many 2nd half points has the Bison 1st team defense given up?
The answer is 10. 7 to Western Illinois and 3 to Southern Illinois. The other 14, and only 4th quarter points, were given up during garbage time against Indiana St (with 6 being on a defensive TD). Not bad after 8 games...

Tough luck. Injuries happen to all teams and the Bison have had plenty this year also. There is a word out there for teams and it is called depth.

The Bison have been developing very good depth this year that has really been beneficial.

An NDSU football player is calling out students for not coming to watch them play. Star defensive player Christian Dudzik sent a Tweet today. With a message to students saying, "are you not entertained?" He's referring to low student attendance at bison games.

So, what's with all the empty seats in the student section of the FargoDome?" "I think we take it a little bit for granted that we have a very successful team," says Sarah Russell, NDSU Student Body President.

NDSU announced that 400 student tickets are unclaimed for the upcoming South Dakota State game. So they're being sold to the general public.

[NDSUSR]

It was tongue in cheek on Dudzik's part I am sure, but its going to have repercussions.

I'm looking forward to the Bison curb stomping the Jacks tomorrow. Put the foot on the gas pedal and keep it on the floor...xlolx
This is true, I suppose I shouldn't give SDSU or UNI breaks due to injured players. We have and get them too.


I really am starting to see how much Kramer is worth to this program though.

Hey no worries....not given you a hard time. All teams have them. I think the Bison have had plenty this year but it seems like the next guy up just does his job and we as fans, do not see the drop off because there isn't one.

Just on the O-line Kuhnert, Schueller and now Kelly have been fighting the injury bug. All this and we lost Zac Johnson for the year and Colville had to quit football. I would like to see any other FCS team lose 4 starters on the O-line and the lone starter playing another position and keep the consistent offensive production....

You're spot on about Kramer. He deserves to be paid double or triple what he is getting now...xnodx

Here is a pretty good article about Zach Zenner and his siblings going to SDSU.

Go Bison!

27-7 Bison win.

Zach Zenner runs for 8 Zenner ' s (32 yards) in the loss.

I'm sure a lot of schools would like to have 3600 out of 4000 student seats filled. It is what it is, at least NDSU is now able to sell those additional tickets to people who want to go. Does UND even have 400 students at their games?xlolx

Literally the only posts I've seen you make have been negative in the past three weeks. You bring nothing useful to conversation other than trying to tear down others and build up your team.

Go away, Useless.

Darrell doesn't have a favorite team. He cares more about NDSU doing poorly then supporting and cheering for his team...

Pretty sad.

@TerryVandrovec SDSU's Stieglemeier says that the starting QB remains a game-time decision. LB Dallas Brown is out; WR Jason Schneider is warming up.

Playing Sumner will probably happen, although it will not end well for him.
