Cornfields, frozen beef and the FCS stars who spurned big-time transfer offers

NDSU tackle Grey Zabel and South Dakota State QB Mark Gronowski could have moved up to play at a power conference this year. But they stayed put and are looking to pull big upsets in Week 1.

An actual solid article from BSPN. Probably due to the fact both those kids have their priorities straight. I hope both teams pull off the upsets.

It’s also interesting how Gronkowski is getting zero of the Trey Lance treatment despite being a much more refined passer of the football and proven production over several seasons.

One of the best I’ve seen from them in a while! Good to see some normalcy still in the Heartland. Enjoying it while it lasts.

Interested to see how NDSU snowplow on both sides of the ball fares against CUs sumos.

Good to see Zabel projected as a Top 100 pick entering the season!

Yeah, I think this game will be won or lost up front. We know CU can put up points and Shadeur is a serviceable college QB, even if he is dramatically overrated as an NFL prospect. CU's weak spot last year was the O-line and D-line, which has always been a strength for the Bison. We'll see if COACH PRIME has made any improvements there. I expect CU to win, but they have been known to lay an egg from time to time.

The kid has an undergrad degree in engineering and is headed towards a masters. He is going to be successful no matter what, which is great. Whatever happens or however much the nfl screws him over eventually he will be just fine.

Can’t say that about most college football players, sadly.

My Catamounts of Western Carolina up on NC State early. Gonzalez to TE Jake Young for the TD WCU 7 NCSU 0. Watch out for WCU WR
AJ Colombo as well. He had a 13 yard reception.

NDSU’s qb looks good, good for CharlieO.
TD Bisons!


I’m also keeping an eye on Wake Forest
Carney is the backup running back 2-4 so far.
Their starter is tearing it up.....

I thought Offerdahl would be seeing more action, but I guess I expected too much

The other Sanders with the penalty on a late hit. This team is getting outclassed and out coached.
