North Dakota State vs Sam Houston State FCS Championship

[dal4018]

If SHSU "stacks" the box then our short-passing game becomes very important. I'm sure SHSU will try and stop our run and make us 1-dimensional. Utilizing our TEs might help in this game for the Bison.

Definitley an interesting match-up for sure.

Its amazing that Sam Houston St has the 6th ranked passing offense nationally but no one among the leaders in receptions or receiving yards.They also have the 4th ranked pass defense nationally as well.

North Dakota St will have to establish dominance at the line of scrimmage early and often their run offense is nothing to write home about considering its ranked 35th and SHSU is ranked 4th.The Bison will have to surprise SHSU with some deep shots down the field as well.The guy that NDSU will have to count on is senior WR Brady Hansen he at 6-4 198 has enough size and with his aforementioned size could be a red-zone threat as well maybe even a occasional home run threat as well considering what his 40 time is.

Hansen has not been part of the offense this season. IMO, Veldman (TE) is more important. Smith our other WR is very good with sure hands, these 3 weeks will help his hamstring heal.

Nothing fancy with NDSU's offense....line up and come right at you.

It's going to be like the Lombardi Packers, you know what we are going to do-try and stop us, going up against Mike Martz Rams and the greatest show on turf.

NDSU is going to have to re-introduce Hansen looks like he has NFL potential with his size at 6-4 198 definitely could stand to gain a extra 20 pounds do you know what his 40 time is?

Have to disagree it will be like Lombardi's Packers going up against Shula's Dolphins from the 70's both teams survived upon their running games.Again Hansen will have to play a huge role for the Bison to win this showdown.

[dal4018]

Sam Houston St has the 4th ranked pass defense giving up a extra stingy 98 yds per game as stated before Hansen will have to make his presence felt early and often.He will have company on the 7th of January say hello to DB Daxton Swanson he's ranked third in the country in interceptions he at 5-11 185 can play safety as well can't wait for this matchup especially in the red zone.Sam Houston's pass offense is ranked 103rd and NDSU is ranked 80th somebody will have to throw to win

Hey Bison Fan you failed to mentioned that Smith has a track background and was a state champ in the 100/200 but too bad he's only 5-7 174 hope SHSU doesn't introduce Bump-N-Run tactics on him might be difficult for him to deal with.Bison Fan have the pefect matchup for your guy Smith say hello to Randy Stewart he's 5-11 200 and like his teammate Swanson can play safety as well and has a track background in the 400m so he's got the size and speed to keep up with Smith.

NDSU has excellent size among its WR core guys that are 6-2 and up including Hansen at 6-4 as stated before the Bison need to establish its passing attack early and often then use it ground and pound attack to eat up the clock.

SHSU RB Tim Flanders is being compared with NFL HOF Barry Sanders and he's only a Sophomore he finished 7th in the Payton award voting.NDSU hope you guys have plan to stop this guy.

Nah. They're just going to pretend he's not on their team.

I'm sure our defense will do just fine come Jan 7th.

Our main WR is Warren Holloway. Smith is #2. Our #3 and #4 Wrs have been injured a lot of the year...although maybe Gebhart might be back for the NC game.

Your CBs are probably good but I'm sure they are not better than our All-American CB, Marcus Williams. In 2 years he'll be playing on sundays.

Montana, a team that can be justifiably described as a bad bison team, was able to muster 277 yds against the SHSU pass defense. I would expect The NDSU BISON could get all of that if need be.

GSU had 10 "in the box" a lot of the time. BISON put up 321 yds rushing. The bad bison got 134 against SHSU. I think The NDSU BISON can do better than that.

[NDSUFREAK]

Dal, I really don't think you know of anything that you are saying...you seem like you are trying to make it seem you know everything there is to know about each team. No way will Hansen be utilized because well he basically hasn't played all year so no NDSU does not need him for the game.

Okay someone else said the exact same thing why hasn't Hansen been utilized he at 6-4 198 has the size to cause havoc in the red zone has he been injured most of the year?This is his senior yr. he should be going out with a bang!!!!!

Well as stated before Swanson was currently ranked 3rd in the country in interceptions so your guy Hollway better be ready as asked before what is the problem with Hansen academic or medical?Has too much size to be left on the sidelines not to play next saturday.

[FargoBison]

Matt Veldman, 6'7, TE and Holloway our are big redzone threats.

Hansen is a walk-on WR.

Okay thanks thought with his size 6-4 198 he would be in your teams plans can't wait to see Holloway saw some photos of him looked impressive where did you guys find Veldman 6-7 that is D1-A material.

Thanks Freak I was told that Hansen was just a walk-on as stated before thought he would be in your squads plans next saturday.

You sure do have a serious case of Griz envy goin' on. You should get that checked. I can't recall a single post you've made in the past 3 weeks (since your inglorious return) that DIDN'T include a reference to the Griz.
