SDSU destroys Albany 59 - 0. Not a bit surprised. Next game against (probably Montana) will be closer, but they are very good. Would not bet against them.
I wonder if Entz saw the writing on the wall earlier this year and was shopping himself around? Bison sort of saved their season in the SIU game and they haven't turned back since.
You mean winning two Nat'l titles since 2019 and making it to the championship game last year, and making it at least to the Final four this year? Two National Coach of the year awards.
Don't think he was on any hot seat but he's not going to turn down that huge salary.
When you take over a program that's won like them, there's always going to be pressure on you. They've shown some cracks the last 2 years and it's possible SDSU has passed them up. Obviously they turned it around this year but they were in serious danger of missing the playoffs if they lost to us.
Montana 31 NDSU 29 in OT. Montana is very good.
Montana vs SDSU for the Championship.
That will be an interesting game in Frisco in January. Not sure if the Griz can hang with the Bunnies, though.
Looking forward to the Championship game. Should be a great game.

I put this through my cynical mind translator, and it has "Montana victory" written all over it! 😆

@austinsaluki I wouldn't be that surprised. Montana has a great defense and they blew out Montana St., which came within an inch of beating SDSU at SDSU first game of the season. MSU won the game on a last second TD, but it was overturned upon review. Should be a great championship game in any case.
Yes, it should be a great game. I'm pulling for SDSU, not just for the conference connection but because I'd like to be able to say that we played the national champion close.

SDSU up 23-3 with 8:30 to go.

Thought it would be closer. Makes our 17 - 10 loss look pretty darn good.
Good for the MVFC and at least it wasn't NDSU.
I'll be glad when Gronowski, Isaiah Davis, and the Jahnkes are gone. I hope all their linemen are graduating.
edit: Just heard that their QB Gronowski just won the Walter Payton award for the best offensive player in the FCS division and has a year of eligibility left. Hope he hits the transfer portal.
It really does make that 17-10 loss look good.
Frustrating, but then again I would remind people of how badly some thought we were in the toilet during the summer.
We had a decent year. It could have and should have been better, but I'll take it.

SInce Gronowski has a year left, maybe he transfers to SIU??? 😀
THink they said Gronowski has not yet finished his engineering degree - probably means he's coming back to SDSU.
NDSU upsets SDSU on late drive due to a Gronowski pick! Great pick by the NDSU player. NDSU's D was stellar. Both GRON and MILLER were terrific.
15 NFL scouts were at the game to watch Gronowski according to the announcers. Gronowski was offered $1.2million in NIL money from a different school (but wanted to come back to SDSU and win another NattyChamp!) That certainly wasn't an FCS school!
Could happen but this could be Montana State's year.
