Re: GDT NDSU at SDSU
First post since the debacle Saturday night.
I was really surprised by the Jacks play.
It was no surprise that NDSU was ready to go. They've had a loss, they were coming off a bye, it is a rivalry game, and this was their chance to let everyone know (not that it had been forgotten) that they were the gorilla in the FCS. Nothing they did surprised me. They played very well.
What was surprising is how ineffective the Jacks were in every aspect. I think it is safe to say that we've played NDSU as well as anyone over the last decade. We've always come up with a gameplan that was successful and found ways to compete even though the Bison were bigger, stronger, faster, and deeper. That didn't happen Saturday night and that was the shock to me.
NDSU put the blueprint out there on how to beat us. Every team will watch that and now have extra pressure in the box forcing Lujan to beat them with his arm. If he does, we will win those games. If not, hang on it could get bumpy.
I'm still optimistic for this season. We have a very good team. It is just disappointing because I think we were all hoping that maybe we'd gotten over the hump and were on a more even level with the Bison. They proved we are not there.
Keep working hard men! Another tough one this week! Back to the 1-0 mentality!
