You are losing 74% of your offense. Ouch! Wentz does appear capable. Crocket seems serviceable. Lets just see how that goes when he is running for his life, or is on his back. We know how that goes. Prepare for it.
The Bison are also looking for some defense as they are replacing 40% of the tackles made from last year.
I've done this 3 dang times now. NDSU DEPTH CHART
Our beat writer is a 5 2 pud who doesn't know squat.
NDSU will beat ISU just like K state Kansas Colo St and Minnesota twice!! You fans are a total repeat of all these other fanbases.

Man, lakes...us Cyclone fans just can't get it, apparently. It's almost like a waste of your time. I wouldn't even try anymore if I were you.
I'm getting to the point where I don't even give a rip if we beat NDSU anymore. I just want their fanboys to go away. This thread is exhausting.
Well that won't be the case. Considering the loss at ISU was in 2009. Then in 2010 NDSU won at KU then lost in the quarterfinals at Eastern Washington. NDSU has won 4 straight vs FBS schools. As impressive as it is to beat the FBS teams when they play, they don't mean as much as the wins in Frisco in January!
Ok, I am going to actually ask a football related question.. as I dont know much about ISU football. I know there is a QB battle between Grant Rohach or Sam Richardson. Do they play with similiar styles.. or is one more a running QB, as the other is a pocket passer?
To be honest, both are similar. I believe Sam was more of the passer and Grant was a little more nervous in the pocket so he ran more. The thing is we do not know their true potential since MESSingham was our coordinator. He coached our quarterbacks and that was nothing but a train wreck. Our old coordinator made everything complicated and so our whole offense was messed up. So to be honest, we don't know and will not know until the first game.
It still doesn't matter. A title at the highest division you can get to at that time is still impressive. NDSU has only been up for what 10 years? Have a three straight titles. It's not like they have been in that division for 50 years and finally won a title. They wouldn't be able to make a jump for another 10 years anyway, at the earliest. But within 5 years the landscape of the divisions is going to be so different that it won't matter. I don't get the fact that some fans think well were here so that makes us better. So there are teams that are FBS, guess what, they don't win. Don't win but 2-3 games a year, don't compete for conference titles for multiple decades in a row. Some are Basketball schools and don't have as strong as a football program. But if that's fine and being content just being there is what it's about then I am sure NDSU will pass. They would only move in future if they could sustain winning and being competitive to keep it's fan base and tradition.
Wow, that was insightful! Only move to new conference if guaranteed to win, got it.
This is one of the things that perplexes me with respect to Bison posters. Carson Wentz has never started a game in his career yet many claim him to be better than Jensen and feel secure in this. One of our returning quarterbacks started eight games last season while the other started four, and Bison fans believe we have a quarterback problem. Both of our QBs have run a variation of the spread offense ever since they were in high school. One is a red shirt junior, the other a redshirt sophomore. They are nearly bookends in stature. One seems to be better with the run, the other may have an edge with the pass. People just cannot seem to grasp the notion that to detect some superior ability of one over the other is a difficult task. It's reported that their team mates are equally confident in either.
In an earlier post you mentioned the graduation of three offensive linemen. I assume these to be Turner, Colville and Gimmestad. Now I understand Johnson is lost for the season due to injury to go along with also graduated Jensen, Smith and Ojuri. This is seems to me to be a hugh loss of quality talent few teams are prepared to overcome. Though it's claimed that replacements have much game experience, but I have to ask what is the value of that experience when it came while you were hanging 50 points on nearly every opponent last year

You dakotans are in for a hard fall one of these days. And the way you talk **** here, on your own boards, on espn and other places, you are going to deserve it. So i guess, enjoy being the tallest midget for now.

If NDSU is so gooooddddd, why not move into the FBS? Why don't you show us all up. I think that you need to get knocked off your high horse and realize Iowa State have 6-6 seasons because we are in one of the strongest conferences in the NATION! Now I would love to see you join the big 12 and brag about having a "winning tradition"....
