Coaching turnover - they plug and play. New HC is a veteran from the Bison factory of coaches.
Portal turnover - again, their system is plug and play for the most part. Lost some good OL, but plug and play in their system.
injuries - AA safety could hurt them. We will test the safety position. The other kid (Fullback/LS) is not a game changer. That's all I've seen as far as injuries.
I do think we have had a huge upgrade on paper on D. But it's a first-game, new system, new coordinator and a lot of new faces. Expect some teaching moments.
FCS schools in the transfer portal era are simply not plugging & playing, they're not replacing Green off the top. They have a number of injuries to their RB as well as their best defensive player.
4 loss FCS team. 4.
I agree with this. We should win on paper, and we probably will, but I would also expect some teaching moments in the first few games.
I understand that NDSU is not as good as their peak, but their system has been really effective in this kind of FCS vs. FBS season opening games.
Although, I think their game against UA 2 years ago won't tell us anything. I even think that UA team would lose to our last year team. This year's CU team should smash the 2022 UA team if they meet.
Passerby
South Dakota's bitch
Depends upon who you are. I am aware of 1 replacement, the center I believe, from the Marshall roster. The injury to the D back is concerning but in the plug and play its next man up. There isn’t going to be any talent disparity. If NDSU wins it’s because of better execution of the fundamentals, physical conditioning, coaching and good food and nutrition. Sportsmanship is also important for winners.

My betting system also heavily weights sportsmanship!
good lord, how far we have fallen. we are getting trolled by fcs fans AND some of the idiot talking heads are picking them to upset us.
we are not 22 arizona.
what this is, is a perfect first game to prove some stuff. they will be country tough and nasty and that will show up on lines. if we cannot easily cover against this fcs team, we are in deep feces.
the fact that anyone, even a passerby troll, thinks the talent level is not disparate is either being malicious or is totally ill informed.
let's get out there and beat their ass. yeah, they are gonna country up and punch back and yeah it is going to sting. that's ****ing football. take the punch and then lean in and put them down.

also i got an old friend who was an offensive lineman back in the day for sdsu. the dude is built like a bowling ball and still is country tough. these farm raised boys play smart, disciplined, and are not afraid of pain. the key is to not play their game and to play our game. for example, travis can outrun anyone, anyone, on their roster. if we get into some kind of weird face punching content on the interior lines, that will give them a bigger chance then they should have.
i am fairly confident our staff knows how to beat a team like this.
no talent disparity? bless his heart.

It's absolutely adorable you claim there's not a talent disparity when you've shown you know nothing about CU - NDSU is significantly out-talented by CU.
FVCK OFF BOT.
I don’t think anyone is reading Passerby’s posts anymore.
2023 CSU-style is what I’m afraid of.
Zero chance the intensity is there from years of bad blood + dirty play from CSU as a result
Hmmm...now we are starting to see why you think that way...
Agree. But think the “disrespect” angle is there.
Keep in mind this is an ESPN game.
Don't be surprised if ESPN does everything they can to make this look like a contest, like a game that NDSU has a solid chance to win and provide a David/Goliath story.
That 48-13 score made the game look closer than it was, if memory serves.

This. CSU had perhaps 1 superior athlete (DE rush end) and just some guys. But they played at a level that did not make them look massively outmatched.
When the lines of scrimmage are neutralized, and the QB feels pressure, everything changes.
Independent of what our board-drunk-lawyer is smoking.
I am not sure if this is true. Their TE is way better than ours, and Tory Horton would be better than any receiver who is not named Travis Hunter. When Hunter got injured, Tory Horton essentially became the best receiver on the field.
No, the guy I am talking about is already graduated. Basically, their entire TE room is better than our starting TE.
That dude is an idiot based on his first take alone.
He's always been an idiot
This is probably a "worlds tallest midget" sort of conversation, but I'm not sure they have a guy in that room that would start over Hart. Their likely starter is a 2 year juco guy and their next best guy played more linebacker than tight end in his career and he hasn't played much of either.
