TigerFan54 109 Report post Posted September 20 When most of us think of NDSU, we think of losing 35-7 in Frisco. I’m old enough to remember playing them in Fargo in the 1983 D-II playoffs. We had a phenomenal team that year, went 10-1, including our first ever win over Delaware. But our offense was pass-oriented and the weather in Fargo was bitterly cold (no Fargodome back then). The Bison were run heavy and controlled the time of possession, winning 24-17, then went on to win the first of their many championships. What still irks me is that we were higher ranked at season’s end and should have hosted that game. Temps here that day were in the 50s, which would have greatly benefited our passing offense. I’m convinced we would have won had the game been played at Minnegan Stadium and TSU would have been national champs. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sr16 180 Report post Posted September 20 Also I dont understand waiting until 24 hours before the game to release the coaches preview with Spiro. They record it on Tuesdays. Should be a rather simple edit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiger93 314 Report post Posted September 20 3 hours ago, TuTigers2012 said: 35-7 I assume this is based on the fact that this has been the final score the last two times we played them. The 35-7 score in 2021 was very kind. I am not sure I have ever been to a college football game that one-sided. They were able to whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted. That is my hesitation in making the 3.5 hour drive to Fargo tomorrow, but I am going to pull the trigger. Looking back, NDSU has played current CAA teams nine times (I am excluding the four meetings against JMU). In those nine meetings they are 9-0 with an average margin of victory of 30 points. The interesting part about about the Shinnick era so far is we have been pretty respectable on the road. We are 4-4 against some pretty tough competition with the only real blowouts being Villanova and Maryland last year (and Cincy sort of this year). Villanova last year is probably the only game where we got dominated for what seemed like the entirety of the game (we even battled Maryland decently after falling behind 21-0 quickly). It is at home where we really have yet to play a good game in six contests since Shinnick took over. Hopefully some of the fight we have had on the road carries over. The weirdest part of this is I think Villanova is overrated, and East Tennessee State would probably tell you NDSU is overrated. My biggest worry is the coaches have NDSU's full attention this week and we will get a focused effort from them. Three things I think we can find out from this game will be how well Shinnick can coach these guys up against a good team, how good can our QBs be, and will our defense hold up under the pressure of another top dual-three QB. We wll also find out if they are really good this year, or if they are on downturn and living off their program's name. I don't really care about that last one, except that I hope we can play a good competitive game and have a chance to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
