BISON FOOTBALL 2019 vs. north dakota PAGE 2

SIX TRUE FRESHMEN PLAY: Six true freshmen made their collegiate debut for North Dakota State in the season-opener against Butler: wide receiver Jake Lippe, safety Julian Wlodarczyk, run-ning back Kobe Johnson, kicker Griffin Crosa, tight end Travis Yohnke and defensive tackle Javier Derritt. Crosa converted all seven PAT kicks, Johnson rushed six times for 63 yards (10.5 ypc) and Derritt assisted on one tackle.

SEASON OPENER NOTES: North Dakota State improved to 84-33-6 all-time in season-opening games with its 57-10 win over Butler. NDSU has won 14 of 16 openers as a Division I program. NDSU’s Matt Entz won his head coaching debut against Butler, becoming the fourth straight Bison head coach to start with a victory.

NEUTRAL SITE GAMES: North Dakota State improved to 22-6-1 in neutral-site games with the win over Butler. The victory at Target Field was the 14th straight neutral-site win for the Bison since 1985, but just the second time the Bison have played their season-opener at a neutral site. NDSU won the 1967 opener against Montana State in Great Falls.

HOME OPENERS: North Dakota State has won 20 straight home-opening games since 1999, which is the second longest active streak among FCS programs. North Dakota won its 33rd straight home opener last weekend against Drake. Central Arkansas (19) hosts Abilene Christian on Sept. 14, Wofford (18) hosts Samford on Sept. 14, and Harvard (18) hosts Brown on Sept. 27.

BISON RETURN SEVEN FULL-TIME STARTERS: North Dakota State returns three offensive starters and four defensive starters from last year’s 15-0 national championship team. Offensive linemen Dillon Radunz and Zack Johnson return with tight end Ben Ellefson on an offensive unit that will have a new quarterback and lost 65% of its rushing yards, 80% of its receptions and 84% of its receiving yards. NDSU still has depth at running back where Ty Brooks, Adam Cofield and Saybein Clark combined for 200 carries, 1,391 yards and 12 touchdowns last year. On defense, the Bison return their leading tackler in Buck Buchanan Award candidate Jabril Cox at linebacker, second-lead-ing sack-getter in defensive end Derrek Tuszka, leading pass defender James Hendricks at safety, and cornerback Marquise Bridges.

12-GAME SCHEDULE: While 12-game regular season schedules are the norm for the Football Bowl Subdivision, this year’s 12-game schedule in the Football Championship Subdivision is a rare departure from the usual 11-game slate based on the 2019 calendar. Teams are not required to play 12 games. NDSU opponents North Dakota and Missouri State each have 11-game schedules with two bye weeks. The last time NDSU played a 12-game regular season was 2014 when the Bison beat Iowa State 34-14 in the opener and went on to win their fourth FCS national championship. The next 12-game schedule opportunity is in 2024.

NDSU Head CoachMatt Entz

n 2018 Football Scoop FCS Coordinator of the Year

Matt Entz was named head football coach at North Dakota State for the 2019 season after five seasons as NDSU’s de-fensive coordinator. He is the 31st head coach in program history. This is the first head coaching job for Entz, a 21-year veteran assistant with 15 years of experience as a defensive coordinator and eight as an associate head coach in two programs. At NDSU, he’s been part of five Missouri Valley Football Conference championships and four NCAA national championships with the Bison. Entz, who was named the 2018 FCS Coordinator of the Year in his third time as a finalist for the award, has led a Bison defense that allowed less than 14 points per game over his five seasons as the defensive coordinator and consistently ranked in the top five of FCS in scoring defense and total defense. NDSU had eight FCS All-America honorees on defense the past five seasons, including line-backers MJ Stumpf, Nick DeLuca and Jabril Cox. Two of Entz’s former linebackers, DeLuca and Chris Board, are currently playing in the NFL. The Missouri Valley Football Conference is familiar territory for Entz. He came to NDSU in January 2014 under head coach Chris Klieman after one season as the associate head coach, co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach at Western Illinois in 2013, and spent three previous years at Northern Iowa. He was named defensive line coach in 2010 at Northern Iowa and assumed the de-fensive coordinator duties at UNI in 2012 after Klieman departed for NDSU. Entz was the defensive coordinator from 2002 to 2009 at Winona State, where he was promoted to associate head coach in 2003 and was with the defensive line for three years before becoming linebackers coach in 2005. He was named the AFCA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in 2008. Prior to that, Entz was the assistant head football coach and linebackers coach at Wayne (Neb.) State from 1999 to 2001 and the defen-sive coordinator at Illinois College in 1998. He holds certification from the National Strength and Conditioning Association and served as an assistant strength and conditioning coach dur-ing his time at Wayne State.
