NDSU would DOMINATE us on both the DL and OL. They would do to us what we are doing to other teams. Their lines are flat nasty, cocky and they have proved it for years. They line up and hit people in their FBS faces while we beat App St and UND.
No comparison.
Concur.
NDSU has a lot of great championship teams, but this is the best team in NDSU history. On the upside, a Frisco or playoff loss to them would be a great primer for next year... when they may be mortal again.
Next year we lose our entire O-line and our entire starting LB crew. Hate to say it, but THIS is the year...Frisco or bust.
Yes on the LB's but Poole, Schmaing, both the Hines twins return and we have some youngsters that will step up. The cupboard is far from bare on the OL and Gragg will coach em up. We have decent depth at LB also. I'm not ready to concede that this year is our only chance to win an NC.
Sweet Jesus, I whole-heartedly agree with you Hammer, In face I believe next year will be just as good of chance or better than this year to win a Nat Champ! Look at all those skilled players that will be older...all those WRs, all those RBs, all those secondary players, and all those D-Line players!!! And oh yeah, Jordan Johnson being a SR. :shock: We are flippin' loaded for 2014. Plus we'll add newcomers (2nd year FR) to the active roster. Futures so bright, I gotta wear...
Yes LB will take a hit (and we lose 3 OL), but that's it, everywhere else IMPROVES. Losing a few SRs, that's the nature of the beast. Good thing we recruit every year, and have done so for a very long time.
The Griz will compete at a very high level these next 2 years, OBVIOUSLY. :clap:
