Watching the North Dakota St. championship game and checked out the roster to see how many Nebraska kids were on the team this year, none. Apparently they are all signing with South Dakota St. now, makes sense, but kind of sad.

How did all the Big Ten schools miss out on QB Trey Lance?

Thank god not scheduled against our Huskers. However South Dakota State is almost as good as Bisons ..... next season, SDSU vs. Huskers

With the benefit of hindsight, could likely say the same thing about Easton Stick. I think he ended up in the right place though. He's a phenomenal QB in the right system and avoids mistakes at all costs. Other more "gifted" QBs would be wise to learn that trait.
As for NDSU going for their fourth P5 win in eight years against Oregon next year, It is their “circled in red, chip on their shoulder” game and the opponents, “nothing to gain” game. The difference in motivation more than makes up for the difference in talent.

I'm a SoDak guy, but a NDSU grad... To say the Bunnies are almost as good as? If they make the FCS semifinals it would be their best year ever, meanwhile NDSU is bringing back an 8th National Championship trophy in 9 years.
I appreciate the kind of program Coach Stieg runs in Brookings and they have shown they can compete with NDSU some years, but they haven't shown they can get over the hump.
And next year? SDSU will be replacing their best defensive player/lb in Rozeboom plus their top 3 OL... They won't be the same without them.
SDSU almost beat 2019 Gophers. Rodents avoid upset with a miracle catch 28-21 win.

Trey was offered by Gophers (as a DB or LB) but wanted to play QB. Boise St also offered in early Dec but he said he was solid to NDSU.
Jabril Cox (Stud LB) was a HS QB in KS they turned into a LB and Hendricks (S who had game winning pick and ran the fake FG in started career at NDSU as a QB but was behind stick so moved to S after his So year).
Think NDSU has 2 Kids that signed to play their next year from NE (both will likely redshirt like almost all players) but they will win at least 2 Nattys while there.

and J'Bore Gibbs (link). Similar style with QB Trey Lance. Both freshman.
Watch out for September 12th 2020 game. New QB in town. 2019 Jacks vs Gophers ...... in his start for the Jackrabbits in replacing Taryn Christion, the program's all-time leading passer, freshman Gibbs was 13 of 26 for 193 yards passing and a touchdown and he added another touchdown rushing. Unfortunately he suffered a season-injury during NDSU-SDSU tussle ..... Bison rallied for a 23-18 victory.
Thanks Red_MN, that explains it.
Just about every team loses some key starters. A couple years ago, SDSU lost a great QB and two receiving weapons that went to the NFL (including Goedert).
I was just going through their roster, based on stats and starters from 2019. Looks like other than you mentioned, they return just about everyone. A lot of juniors on defense in 2019. The two quarterbacks were both freshman. Top RB was a sophomore. Top WR was a junior. Top TE was a sophomore. I'd suggest SDSU is in better shape with returning starters than the majority of programs in any given year. But -- I'm also certain you pay closer attention than I do -- so I could be missing something. But I'm not certain I'm seeing indications they should be less of a team in 2020.
Some of that might have to do with us ramping up our walk on program
I honestly I have nothing to base my opinion on, but I just didn't feel watching that championship game that NDSU should have won. I was hoping and am glad they did, but something just didn't look quite the same about them. I understand there was a new coach, but my prediction is that that was their last championship, at least for a while.
Christion is the QB that was much more of a whiff for Nebraska than Easton Stick. It is inexplicable how a guy with that kind of athleticism, including the measurables, could be so overlooked when he was the worst-kept secret in the state of South Dakota for almost his entire high school career at Sioux Falls Roosevelt.
