Defense coming alive. Nice sack.
SIU and UNI tied late in the fourth.

Is the HC pool that shallow? A MAC school would hire an FCS coach with barely a >0.500 career HC record, and no playoff appearances? YSU is 5-1 but has the most challenging part of its schedule to come in November. I like the Wolf and am certain he's an upgrade from Heacock, but unless he makes the playoffs this year (and I think they will), I don't see how he's marketable until then.

Ron--
If YSU was in the SEC, they would be torn apart by Kentucky and Tennessee. If NDSU was in the SEC, they'd be competitive. I'm not saying they'd win it, or beat Alabama or Georgia, but look at the Sagarin ratings. They have NDSU ranked 29th and Auburn 35th! Kentucky is ranked 89th!
NDSU could hang anywhere.
As far as the NDSU -UNI game, even if NDSU loses, even if by a lot, my opinion would not change. UNI destroyed ranked McNeese and is a tough team in it's own right. The MVFC collectively is head and shoulders above all other conferences collectively. Now if the following week, NDSU struggles with Missouri State, than I will rethink my opinion of the Bison (actually my guess is Missouri State won't have enough players willing to leave the locker room after halftime to finish the game).

NDSU is a FBS team playing in the FCS. They could be competitive in any BCS conference. For YSU, the NDSU game in November may be a worse beating than the Sparty slaughter.

« on: September 29, 2013, 01:25:11 AM »Next week we got the Sycamores who are 2-3, losing 38-37 to Tennessee Tech tonight. ISU LOVES to run the ball, but we completely shut them down (only 61 yards rushing) last year at home in a 27-6 win on Senior Day. Two years ago, Shakir Bell rushed for well over 200 yards in a shoot-out.
If ISU comes out running, I love our chances of beating the Sycamores. I think our rush defense is very good and maybe, just maybe, we saw a pa$$ defense awaken in the 2nd half. That was no fluke folks. Faulkner was on pace for 560 yards pa$$ing at half, but we completely shut him down in the final 30 minutes.
I like the chances against ISUb too. They lost to a bottom half OVC team. Against Tech they had 554 yards of offense, crushed them statistically, but were killed by three interceptions. Ironically, it was also a pic that stopped their potential upset of Purdue. I could see a high scoring game, with YSU winning by another close finish.

With UNI crushing McNeese, it is more obvious than ever that November will be ugly. This is a playoff game, and the writing is on the wall for the game, the season, and for our HC.

I thought Faulkner was injured in the Charleston game. He is threading the needle on every pass. Of course he has time in the pocket.

Nice momentum shift. Ruiz will be a BEAST as an upper classman.
