Albany performance was embarrassing. Villanova actually represented the CAA well against the Jack Rabbits!

Looks like another match up of the Jack Rabbits and the Bisons in Frisco!

While on the score sheet, Nova certainly played the Jackrabbits much better than the Great Danes, let’s not forget the weather was a huge factor for the Nova game. Sustained winds of 30+ mph and extremely cold.

Both teams had to play in the same weather conditions. South Dakota certainly has the advantage playing in such conditions.

Being a Blue Hen fan, I hate to give credit to Villanova but they represented the CAA well!

That was worse than Penn State beat down UD. I have to believe the travel schedule took something out of Albany. Either that, or SDSU just ratcheted their game a whole lot. Next game - Frisco.

Games like Albany and South Dakota definitely does not increase the interest in FCS football.

Let’s not forget…nova gained only 219 yards against SDSU…not exactly an impressive performance.

The game’s score was low due to the weather, but the Jack’s, especially their QB, did a heck of a lot better.

Too bad nova didn’t run the ball when they were around the 30…instead, silly play calling and a bad special team’s play basically closed the game out.

By the way, how many special teams coaches are we firing? Seems as though almost every team out there has had some massive special team’s problems that helped bury their team.

7-3 Griz…early 2nd.

NDSU OL is much bigger than Griz DL.

We will see how that works out.

Jax State in OT in their bowl game.

Back up kicker hits two FGs…his only two in college (the starting kicker went into the portal)…one being the game winner in OT.

10-9 Griz.

Griz better score again…NDSU moving the ball well on the ground.

Awesome ending. Jax State celebrated like they won a Natty. Love the emotion. Bowl games can bring that out.
