We also lost a starter who learned from Carson Wentz, named Easton Stick, who is now with the LA Chargers. Wentz also learned from Brock Jensen, who holds the most wins in FCS history. (Jensen, who also helped beat former Big 12 champs/possible BCS Title team, K-State in 2013.) Our former Coach Chris Klieman went to K-State, which is funny since The Bison have beaten them before.

@@SteveEdward_ Stick has the most wins in FCS history. He overtook Jensen with his last game. At this rate though, Lance is going to break Stick's record (barring injury, etc). He's almost a third of the way there, and he still has three seasons left to play.

Yeah, they may do ok in FBS, maybe even become the new Boise State, but they will never get the chance to win another national championship again. The FBS is rigged against G5 conferences which NDSU would have to join, only P5 conferences are allowed to get the big prize, been that way ever since BYU snuck in that national championship in 84. NDSU would get chances at lots of bowls that no one cares to watch and maybe a bone every once in a while, so yeah be careful of what you want.
@@elijahtchilembe-mpovie2715 They would 'get' more scholarships? You mean they would have to offer more scholarships, money doesn't come out of thin air. Main reason is travel, football could potentially cover it, however the other sports would make it even more expensive than it already is.
Elijah Tchilembe-Mpovie they would get less recruits because most of the recruits they have now are people that want to play with bigger colleges but can’t do that so they go to ndsu so that they can win a championship if they moved up that would never happen
Also by taking it to the house you automatically remove the last two seconds of the game running the clock out with a touchdown basically a walk-off home run!
@@deannelson9565 - Running and getting the ball knocked out of your hand would have been the ONLY way that NDSU could have lost the game at that point. #6 is a coaches kid, who knows the game! His dad was a stud running back at MSUM.
@Zayne simard moore the wrestling program is in the Big 12, and they're one of the best in the conference/country. NDSU wants to eventually move into the Big 12 direction, but to be honest, it'll trigger the mostly elderly population we have here.
Sammy Sullivan 1. Rutgers was the first ever college football program and has a lot of history behind it. (BIG likes historical programs) 2. Rutgers has been good at other sports before. 3. The New York TV market
CONGRATULATIONS NDSU! Great to see a Nugget (#82) on the big stage! For all the Bison fans out there, I cheer for you now from 1,500 miles from F/M, but hold it up that the last time NDSU played the Cobbers in football, in the early 60's, my Cobbers won! Also, if there are any Dragons watching... why did you stop wanting to play us?
So if we want to get technical and everything. North Dakota State is the best football team ever eight championships in nine years no one in NFL or NCAAF has ever done that.
Actually Yale has 27 national titles and 16 conference titles. The Yale football program dates back before 1900. So no, technically Yale would be proceeded as the best football program in NCAA history.
@@yobanycardoso7965 Texas weather is crazy, its like 50 today and ig cowboys stadium is fine since they do hs games there. But dallas is the best city for games like this

I was in Dallas that day to watch the Sixers game and met so many loyal NDSU fans! It was great chatting to them about Wentz and how great their school is! Great game
Money..... the ncaa has like 3 or 4 requirements to be fbs. One is stadium size I believe. The Fargo dome isnt big enough. Scholarships. Ndsu wouldnt be able to afford the 50+ scholarships required. My resolution is this: why cant a conference or even the ncaa front them some cash to upgrade facilities and make the move. If the big ten or something wanted them, I'm sure they could afford it. Hell, ohio st and Michigan alone could afford to help them out.
NDSU needs to do like Appalachia State did and move up after they kept winning it every year. NDSU needs to move on up to the Mountain West and see if they can win 10 or 11 games a season playing a D1 college football schedule like App State is doing now.
Props to JMU for fighting until the end. The top 2 teams definitely made it to the Championship game. With that said, congratulations to NDSU on another championship! The dominance in FCS should really get the school thinking of moving up. App State did the same and their program is doing great in FBS. Would be a good money move for the university as well.
They don't have enough of anything to move up. Money, fans, Stadium capacity, and they don't really fit well into any conference. They're fine as they are.
@@muffinnnnnnnnn UMass was FCS for most of its history and even won the FCS national championship in 1998 against GA Southern and they have been to the championship game 2 other times, the most recent being 2006. They actually tanked once they made the move to FBS.
2:25 into the video. That is the exact reason why you build your team around a bunch of farm kids who go home from football practice and throw hay bales.
There is a HUGE difference between a fcs school and a big school division like the Big 10. They would struggle in the Big 10. I do think a division like the Mountain West would be good for them.
@@Preppy-Sadie1y2k look at their record against FBS opponents.... The last 5 times they haven't lost. Oh your also forgetting they will get another 30 or 45 scholarships to recruit top teir talent. So if they have already best FBS talent with half the scholarships they could do very well with full scholarships.
i wish the coach didnt rush the handshake. i get it he wants to celebrate and congratulate his team, but JMU put up a good fight. Idk what do you guys think?
Great season. I wanted to give you a heads up Oregon thinks there going win it all. Oregon thinks they're going to take the championship this year. Prove them wrong.
The FCS has an actual, 24 team, 5 round playoff, not the dog and pony show the FBS has. The first round is essentially a play-in for lower seeded teams to get the field down to 16. NDSU and JMU each had to win 3 playoff games to get to the championship.
Kick Rutgers out of the Big 10 and replace them with NDSU and move Purdue to the Big 10 East. Or at the least the American since UConn left it. Will probably never happen though lol
Here come the "NDSU should move up to FBS" comments. Realistically, the move up would be expensive. They have to renovate the FargoDome to add more seating. Depending on what conference they would go to the entire athletic program would have to move there as well which would mean a larger spending budget for travel and what not. But why should they move up? Their biggest sellers to recruits is come to NDSU and not only compete for championships, but win championships. They don't get to say that if they move up to FBS and the level of talent that they do get is very respectable for an FCS program. I would love to see them compete at FBS and even though there would be some growing pains for 5-10 years, I think they would be able to hold their own against some teams.
Just for kicks. They should do a championship game between the FBS vs FCS. Sure most teams wouldn't be able to hang, but NDS could put up a fight and so could the team that would have beat them to get to play in that game
Ndsu can no doubt play with a lot of top 25 teams, but thee big boys would probably stomp em, like they stomp all these other top 25 teams anyways... LSU's receivers would go for 800 yards maybe lol
@@timothyshannon5187 Yeah and they wasted so much time near the end of the game then they have rush. They should have went for 2 after the td and did an on side kick.
They're great team, but the program doesn't have the fanbase nor the stadium capacity to an FBS school... It's about money, and to be an FBS school you need to bring in money and with a studium that only seats about 18,000, they wouldn't bring in anywhere near the revenue.... That being said, I literally believe they and JMU are better half the FBS teams, even some power 5 teams...
If Oregon somehow loses that game, two things will happen: 1. The Pac-12 will lose all playoff credibility. If the conference's best team loses to an FCS school, regardless of playoff prestige, fans, analysts, and experts will tear them a new one. 2. Fans will trash NDSU for not moving up like they should. The Bison could just pull a Notre Dame and become an undefeated independent team that doesn't play anybody good and somehow is ranked #4. It's not fair for the 100+ other FCS schools to even try for a playoff spot if it's just a battle for second place. Liberty moved up, as did App State, Georgia Southern, even Charlotte moved up. But NDSU remains as the dictator of the FCS.
@@TnD_BigJax Like I said in my other comment, they will have to expand their stadium, which in their case they'd have to build an entirely new stadium since their current one is indoor... And I don't think they want to go thru the trouble.... And they will also have to upgrade their training facilities, and I don't think they have that kind of money.

NDSU could go up talent wise, but their other athletics just wouldn’t keep up (look at the basketball game vs Duke) not to mention the travel cost, cost of a new stadium, and not to mention giving out more scholarships. Currently my friend goes there (I graduated high-school I’m North Dakota) and the tuition with room and board is roughly 17,000 for in state tuition, which is what makes it such a good school for many North Dakotan kids to attend. If they went up they would have to raise tuition costs, and not nearly as many kids would attend the following year and would rather go to UND another big North Dakota school known for reasonable tuition 🤷🏼♀️ I’m all for going up, but the school would suffer as a whole if they did
Either they make the FBS the same format as the FCS playoff system or they should take the 4 best FCS teams and switch them with the worst FBS teams. Because teams like JMU and North Dakota St have some serious talent
North Dakota State is like the Patriots or Alabama. They’ll eventually fall and stop going, or at least loose in the championship. Not this year though, which sucks as James Madison almost pulled off the upset. Ah well, I’m not a fan of either team, but I do live in Frisco (where this game is held every year) and it’s fun to just go and see the teams playing in the championship.
Keep in mind NDSU went 16-0 after losing 22 seniors
Thats impressive. For the Bison they say next man up and pick up right where they left off.

What a great football game and team.Kendall Hammeren is my son.Dam Proud to say.,😨🍾🤪🤩
heart breaking loss for JMU..
Either they make the FBS the same format as the FCS playoff system or they should take the 4 best FCS teams and switch them with the worst FBS teams. Because teams like JMU and North Dakota St have some serious talent
North Dakota State is like the Patriots or Alabama. They’ll eventually fall and stop going, or at least loose in the championship. Not this year though, which sucks as James Madison almost pulled off the upset.
Ah well, I’m not a fan of either team, but I do live in Frisco (where this game is held every year) and it’s fun to just go and see the teams playing in the championship.
NDSU and JMU need to go to the FBS especially NDSU they have the talent to go there, both teams have the talent
Made it!
That whole back side was wide open for a trail man on the final play
10:09 LOL
Sportsmanship man all there is to it
I was right near them when that happened. I swear I went death when everyone next to me started screaming
So we're just gonna ignore that holding by #19 near end zone? 🤔
Where game played at?
Their moving fast
My bison should not be in the face any more. But congrats to jmu to getting this far
That last play of the game is way too complicated. Given the situation, I would do something like quick slant or something.
