Better game than most think vs NDSU

I believe that we can compete against NDSU. The question is, can we handle the crowd... yes it's not as loud there as in WA-Griz, but we had stupid false start penalties in Bozeman. The Fargodome is much louder.
 
The buffalos are pretty good, I hear. Probably got to do something like cover zero, put 8 in the box, make their qb uncomfortable, and maybe a couple other surprises on defense. Just got to slow down their run game, somehow. Then on offense, nothing to lose, get after it. The first quarter sac st. third quarter semo offense. LJ running, getting the ball to Bergen, Flowers, the tight ends and creative ways to move the ball. IF, IF, IF we can hang around until the fourth then get a chance, who knows, could be great! Or, some old, same old and game over by halftime. Defense gassed, offense struggling and we're trailing by three scores. I'll be screaming my head off - the wife has already made other arrangements-.......

Go Griz!
 
We have two common opponents this year in Indiana St and South Dakota. The Griz beat/handled both of those teams more effectively than the Bison. Not sure if that will translate some on Saturday. It’s certainly a data point.

Didn't I see someone on here tell us that Alpha is no longer among the living?

Yeah, that was Alpha

Are those the same dipshits who didn’t think the Brawl was gonna be a close game?! 8-)

In all seriousness, I won’t say I’m rooting for you. Can’t do that. I personally think you’ll be outmatched. But as a fan I’m in a win-win with your game. You lose, and well, I like when you lose.

You pull out a miracle, and it’s good for the conference and I can take a page out of last years book and take solace in the fact that the team that took down Goliath, we beat down. Thus, we’re the best. Didn’t always follow that logic but after last season I’m a believer.

Good luck! :thumb:

This. Honestly, at this point it all we can ask for. Give us a chance late in the game.

Nope. Hanging around with this team gets you worn out late in the game. You need to be up and continue to punch. Play conservative, you're done.

I don't think that's what they mean here, more that if we start to fall behind, it plays exactly into NDSU's strengths, so as long as we're close going into the 4th, we have a shot. Getting down 21-0 or so to start the game is the absolute worst thing that could happen to us.

:thumb: then don't get down and be up by 2 scores.

Thanks for the save U.
 
Bison are good, but so are the Griz. From the opening bell, we need to take it to them and not let up the entire game. Positive body language all the way from all of our players and remember what they did to Washington. Do the same to the Bison.

We won't be within 17 if we play a perfect game, no turnovers, no penalties and get a special team's score.

Just remember when it's over this is the worst team the Bison have had in 13 years then let that sink in by just how far we have to go to get where the current NDSU team is.

:lol: Okay guys, we just came back on a team down 21. There might be a few teams we could do that against that are still in the playoffs, but NDSU isn't one of them.

Hell, if we get down 14-0 or 10-0, we're probably in bad shape.

How did ISU and South Dakota finish within 17 of them?
