NDSU still #1?

After being down 14-0 North Dakota scored 34 unanswered points. I saw on only the second half but
from what I saw North Dakota's defense was just overwhelming and just swarm to the ball.
The ND offence isn't flashy just efficient and they like to pound the ball.
Hate to say it but they look like a number 1 team to me.
 
They sure do. Their defense is really, really good. Either that, or ISU is really bad. Probably some of both.

That said, it does seem like they have problems containing the ISU QB when he takes off and runs. VA is a lot more mobile that they guy, too. Can we PLEASE see this matchup this season?!?

Didn't see any of the NDSU game. Did Iowa State throw deep down the field much?
They were so inept that it was difficult to determine exactly what they were trying to do.
 
NDSU is good, but that was a bad Iowa State team. They lost some key players in the game, but they had absolutely no rhythm on offense. A scoreless second half at home? That's unacceptable no matter who the opponent.
 
Gotta admire a lot about NDSU. They put together great schedules, and never put anything in front of themselves that they can't handle. Plus, when you can run the ball like they can, they find ways to just physically hammer an opponent. They looked like a fighter with a wicked body attack, just draining the life out of Iowa State's speed until they quit.
 
For now, I'd say NDSU is the #1. It's hard to argue against a team team coming off of three straight NC's and dominating an FBS like they did. I'd put us as a solid #2 right now, but I need to see us play more. I don't think Montana Western is going to be a very good indicator of anything.
