North Dakota State can become only the second football team in NCAA history to win four consecutive national titles when it meets Illinois State in Saturday's FCS championship game in Frisco, Texas. The Bison are the second team in FCS history to capture three straight titles and have been relatively unchallenged in their championship games, outscoring their foes 91-26. North Dakota State is trying to match Augustana College's four-year reign as Division III champion from 1983-86.In order to join that exclusive company, the second-seeded Bison must defeat a familiar opponent in the fifth-seeded Redbirds, with whom they shared the Missouri Valley Football Conference crown after both schools finished league play 7-1. Illinois State will also try to end a three-game losing streak to North Dakota State after the teams did not play each other for the first time in eight years during the regular season. The challenge of playing a higher-seeded team is unlikely to unnerve Illinois State as the Redbirds secured road wins at fourth-seeded Eastern Washington and top-seeded New Hampshire en route to their first FCS title-game appearance.TV: 1 p.m. ET, ESPN2. LINE: NoneABOUT NORTH DAKOTA STATE (14-1): The Bison's second-ranked scoring defense (13.2 points) is led by Buck Buchanan Award winner defensive end Kyle Emanuel, who set a MVFC record with 19.5 sacks - the fifth-highest single-season total in FBS history. John Crockett ranks third in FBS with 1,920 rushing yards and has compiled 2,303 all-purpose yards - both school records - while first-year starting quarterback Carson Wentz broke the school's single-season passing yardage (2,874) and total offense (3,429) marks set by Brock Jensen last year. Crockett's 383 receiving yards is the third-most by a Bison running back while Wentz's 555 rushing yards is the highest total by a North Dakota State quarterback since 1996.ABOUT ILLINOIS STATE (13-1): Much of the credit for the Redbirds' single-season record win total belongs to the backfield duo of running back Marshaun Coprich and quarterback Tre Roberson. Coprich - the MVFC Offensive Player of the Year - leads FCS in rushing yards (2,168) and rushing touchdowns (27) while Roberson - the MVFC Newcomer of the Year - has accounted for 353.3 yards of total offense per game and posted a 6:0 touchdown-to-interception ratio in three playoff games. Rounding out Illinois State's well-balanced offense are Cameron Meredith (1,047 receiving yards) and Lechein Neblett (995), who is five yards shy of giving the school its first pair of 1,000-yard receivers in the same season.EXTRA POINTS1. North Dakota State joins Eastern Kentucky (1979-82) and Youngstown State (1991-94) as the only FCS schools to play in four consecutive title games.2. Coprich's rushing total is the sixth-highest single season total in FCS history.3. Both teams' only loss came in back-to-back weeks against MVFC rival Northern Iowa.PREDICTION: North Dakota State 31, Illinois State 21

NORMAL, Ill. ? When Brock Spack took over Illinois State's football program six years ago, he vowed to turn the Redbirds into a program in the same stratosphere as FCS powerhouses such as North Dakota State, New Hampshire and Eastern Washington. The way Spack saw it, coming from Purdue where he was a defensive coordinator for 12 years, Illinois State was a "sleeping giant."
The giant has officially awakened.
"I didn't think we'd be this good this year," Spack said. "I thought, 'maybe next year.' I saw us being sneaky good, but we've come together to get where we ultimately have wanted to get since I came to Illinois State."
FOOTBALL FOUR: Rating and debating college football and the Playoff
That destination is Saturday's FCS national championship game in Frisco, Texas. The Redbirds (a program-best 13-1) have undoubtedly played the role of giant-killer during the playoffs, topping FCS heavyweights Northern Iowa and Eastern Washington before knocking off top-seeded New Hampshire. And Illinois State's national title opponent is a familiar one in fellow Missouri Valley Football Conference foe North Dakota State. It's the first time since 1978 that two teams from the same league are in the FCS title game.
"The teams we've beaten and the team we plan to beat, they're all powerhouses," Spack said. "That's what we're trying to be ? a consistently good program, not just a team. That's not an easy thing to do. Once you get to the top, everybody's trying to knock you off that pedestal."
North Dakota State (14-1) is the definition of a powerhouse program, having made four consecutive championship game appearances, winning the last three under coach Craig Bohl, who left to take over at Wyoming. First-year coach Chris Klieman helped carry over the program's winning tradition in what was expected to be a rebuilding year.
The Redbirds and Bison finished as conference co-champions at 7-1 but didn't meet during the regular season. So Saturday's game won't just crown a national champion, it'll also be an unofficial MVFC title.

Why North Dakota State is the scariest team in football
"I'm not sure if they've kept an eye on us. I'm sure they had bigger fish to fry," Spack said. "But we've kept an eye on them. We wanted this scenario."
Despite Illinois State's up-and-coming status, quarterback Tre Roberson, a transfer from Indiana, believes North Dakota State is the clear favorite. And that's exactly the way him and his teammates prefer it.
"We like being the underdogs. We're our best when we play with a chip on our shoulder," said Roberson, who's passed for 3,064 yards and 27 touchdowns, while rushing for 868 yards. "We're not satisfied with being in a national championship. We're here to win a national championship."
Roberson, along with his favorite target Cameron Meredith (65 catches, 1,047 yards) and explosive running back Marshaun Coprich (FCS-best 2,168 yards, 27 touchdowns) have driven a high-octane offense (466.4 yards per game) that will be pitted against the Bison's stingy defense, which ranks third nationally and allows 270.8 yards a game.
Senior cornerback Mike Banks notes the team's togetherness and veteran presence as major X-Factors.
"We have a unique brotherhood," Banks said. "We have each other's backs. If the offense isn't doing well, the defense picks it up. If the defense isn't doing well, the offense picks it up. We feed off each other's energy and don't want to let each other down. The senior leadership has made all the difference. The coaches handed the keys over to us and we've been driving it."
Spack believes his team was "built" to beat a team like North Dakota State.
"I've been on the big stage a couple of times at Purdue, playing in the Rose Bowl and other BCS bowls," Spack said. "I tell my guys the margin for error is so slim. If you relax for a split second, it could cost you the game. We haven't been there before, but I think that can give us an edge and a toughness. There's a hunger factor with this group. North Dakota State might be hungry, but we're hungrier."

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - North Dakota State's national championship-winning defense has been the standard across the FCS throughout the decade.
The best in show, if you will.
In contrast, Illinois State likes to claim it unleashes a pack of mutts on game day.
But the Missouri Valley Football Conference co-champions will bring both bark and bite to the national dog show, er, NCAA Division I Football Championship Game Saturday at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas (ESPN2, 1 p.m. ET).
Yes, beware of defense. The championship game is expected to be a bruising matchup of stopping the run and pounding the other into mission. North Dakota State is seeking an unprecedented fourth straight FCS title while Illinois State will try to end the Bison dynasty in its first championship game appearance.
The two defenses might have different pedigrees, but both 4-3 systems are linked by having new defensive coordinators and mixing in new contributors with veteran standouts.
North Dakota State led the FCS in scoring defense in each of its championship years and this season the team ranks second nationally behind Harvard in allowing 13.2 points per game. The Bison (14-1), who feature the national defensive player of the year in Buck Buchanan Award-winning defensive end Kyle Emanuel, also rank third in total defense, allowing opponents just 270.8 yards per game.
Illinois State's more balanced defense has allowed 20.9 points and 337.6 yards per game - not the NDSU standard, of course, but still impressive numbers while playing in the nation's top FCS conference.
"I think when we play together, we're very good. If we don't play together, we're just average. We're a pack of mutts, we're not a bunch of purebreds," said Illinois State coach Brock Spack, whose defense has helped take down a murderer's row of offenses in Northern Iowa, Eastern Washington and New Hampshire during the postseason.
Spack, who was the defensive coordinator at his alma mater, Purdue, from 1997-2008, is in his sixth season as Illinois State's head coach. He had been coordinating the Redbirds defense in recent seasons until he began to hand the duties over to defensive line coach Spence Nowinsky during the 2013 season. Right after the 5-6 campaign, Spack handed Nowinsky the keys to the defense.
The Redbirds have rebounded to go 13-1 and play with a relentless, physical style on defense, featuring All-Missouri Valley first-team selections Pat Meehan, a middle linebacker, and Teddy Corwin, a defensive end. The defense has two FBS transfers in defensive end David Perkins (Ohio State) and outside linebacker Oshay Dunmore (Oregon). Senior linebacker Mike Banks is the unit's most experienced player, going into his 50th and final start.
"Spence has done a great job, along with obviously the rest of our defensive staff," Spack said.
"So the guys understand the system, they understand there is a protocol which we install our system, there's a protocol how we game plan ... and I've kind of stuck to that, and they learned it, and now that's kind of what they do. They have their own little tweaks to things, as they should, and they've done a great job. The system is in place, and I felt that I could step away, and I'm still in that room almost exclusively, but I'm in the room a lot. They lean on me for advice, and I'm there if they need it, and I'll chime in when I feel it's necessary, but I've enjoyed being a head coach - this is my sixth year - more than I have the five previous years."
Chris Klieman arrived at North Dakota State also after coaching at his alma mater, Northern Iowa. He joined the Bison in their first national championship season in 2011 as their defensive backs coach and then served as defensive coordinator the last two seasons. After Craig Bohl departed to become Wyoming's head coach last January, NDSU wisely elevated Klieman to the top job. He later brought Matt Entz over from Western Illinois to become defensive coordinator.
Including Emanuel, who has the most tackles for loss (31) and sacks (19.5) in the FCS, the Bison returned six starters and seven of their top nine tacklers from last season. They rebuilt the interior of the defensive line with junior Brian Schaetz and redshirt freshman Nate Tanguay, and reloaded on the back end with the likes of linebacker Carlton Littlejohn and Esley Thornton and safeties Colten Heagle and Christian Dudzik, who has yet to miss a start as he enters his 60th and final game.
Entz, Klieman said, "had to leave a really good job with Coach (Bob) Nielson at Western Illinois to come to Fargo with his family and take a chance, and he did that, and he's done a remarkable job of being Matt Entz, of not trying to be anything that I was or Scottie Hazelton was before, similar to myself, trying to make my own niche, Matt has made his own niche, and the guys love to play for him. He's done a great job of game planning each week as well as our other defensive staff members, and couldn't be happier to have Matt on my staff for the long haul.
"Well, he didn't want to reinvent the wheel ... it's not like we've done a bunch of different things schematically, I think it's just his demeanor. He's a very polished coach that will be a guy that's going to get on a guy, but he's going to love him up. He's going to get to know those players so well. You know, there's nothing totally different that you'd say, boy, we're a different coverage, we're a different pressure team. He's just been a great leader, and his leadership style is different than mine. It's different than what Coach Hazelton was, and when I replaced Scottie, and it's really meshed and worked well with our guys."
They're similar yet different defenses, but both championship-level.

Trying to figure out if Illinois State is like Northern Iowa in the way they can hold the line of scrimmage all game and not get wore out. That will be the key again... if NDSU can't wear you down they don't have much going on.
The New Hampshire game kind of threw me off when it comes to Illinois State. they did not look that good and I thought they would beat them easier than they did.
UNI showed ISU the template. Can ISU's Dline hold up is the major question right now. Cause NDSU flat out quit vs UNI when they actually got punched back.

Thought I posted my play earlier but didn't so just for the record. I have ISU +7 for one unit. Left the total alone for now

Almost there... Time for the MIssouri Valley Conference Championship game... LOL. I have looked at this game and watched these teams all year. Obviously, its a championship game so almost anything can happen.
Weather is grey and overcast but no discernible wind and no precipitation.
I think I have made it clear that I think it is going to be a hard hitting ugly game. I believe this is the game that NDSU wants to play and I think ISU is fine playing that. ISU has the horses but NDSU has the legacy. Remember for NDSU this is Carson Wentz first Championship and their Head Coach 1st game as The Man. I just hope it is a great game.
I have played:
1st quarter under 10.5 1*
1st Half Under 27 2*
Game under 54 2*
Illinois State +7 4*
Illinois State +3.5 1st half 2*
Illinois State +215 1*
Illinois State +170 1st half 1*
I obviously have my idea how the game will go.

Fumble by Wentz in the opening drive may be the pivotol play of the entire game in regards to momentum. May turn out to be the difference for both side and total players. Of course its early.......
Wow
Wow
What a first half. If Illinois State could contain Wentz then this game would be a shutout. Wentz is the difference maker. I really believe every damn person from North Dakota is here.
Roberson looks very tight but this is the problem with him... Not the most accurate passer.
2nd over 27 +100 for 1*
I just played this because it opens a huge middle. I still think ISU wins the game. Game seems very similar to New Hampshire game but ISU is running the ball better.

For those that have not watched FCS football this year... That was a great game and just an example of the quality of football that can be played at this level. Outstanding game. I really did not get to see the ending int from where I was. Awesome game. I really thought we had swept it when Roberson scored but ISU blitzing and Wentz caught them-- I thought there was a push off but...
Wentz will play in the NFL. He is solid. Incredible game. Successful day, game, and season.
Hawk I really thought we had the under... I kept ATS logs this year and am starting to build a database. Hopefully we can get other books to carry FCS lines and hopefully we can really attack them next year.
Wow... what a game!

It was an awesome game.
Mad props to the Bison fans as well. Between the game day outing I saw earlier this season and their support in traveling to Tx I'm convinced that there is no fan base any more passionate as these folks. My congrats to all involved. :0008
