What exactly does North Dakota St do year in and year out to make them so freaking dominant? Just looked and they're 112-9 in the past 10 seasons...that is absurd.
Their offensive schemes are clean, but creative. They block very well in all areas. They tackle well. They don't seem to miss assignments. That I can see as an untrained fan of college football, but I cannot figure out the why.
It would seem you could get better athletes in the Southeast/Southwest and even Mid Atlantic parts of the country. I could understand it more if it was just one coach, but they are on the 3rd or 4th coach up there now and are still kicking everyone's butts in FCS. Also, it's not like they use some semi proprietary "system" like the academies do...they are fairly diverse.
If I am Kirby, I would want to do some knowledge sharing and find out:
1. How they teach and emphasize fundamentals.
2. What the secret(s) are behind their culture.
3. Is there anything scheme wise we could use at our level?
@brollinspff @AgrayDAWG not sure if either of you have spent much time looking at what makes them so good at that level.
