The <b>Bison&#8217;s blowout ratio sits at 9 of 11 wins<\/b> decided by double digits. Their closest game? A <b>15-10 victory<\/b> over <b>North Dakota<\/b> on <b>Nov. 8<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>St. Thomas tried to stay competitive. The <b>Tommies won five straight<\/b> before losing to <b>Presbyterian 23-9<\/b> last week. Injuries have mounted since that defeat, leaving head coach <b>Glenn Caruso<\/b> severely short-handed.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Injuries and Roster Impact for St. Thomas<\/h2>\n<p>The Tommies arrive in Fargo without their starting quarterback. <b>Andy Peters<\/b>, a graduate transfer, sits out with injury. Multiple other defensive and offensive starters won&#8217;t suit up either. This decimates the Tommies&#8217; lineup heading into their toughest test.<\/p>\n<p>Caruso addressed the injury situation candidly. He said the team will simply &#8220;play those who are able and hope for the best.&#8221; That&#8217;s about as honest as a coach can be. When you&#8217;re missing your starting QB against the nation&#8217;s best defense, the math gets ugly fast.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, <b>NDSU has no official injuries listed<\/b> for this game. The <b>Bison&#8217;s starters are expected for the majority of the game<\/b>. This lopsided health situation adds another layer of difficulty for Caruso&#8217;s squad.<\/p>\n<h2>NDSU Dominance: Why This Team Is Different<\/h2>\n<p><b>Caruso called this Bison team potentially the best in NDSU&#8217;s 10-championship history<\/b>. &#8220;By a lot,&#8221; he emphasized. The Bison possess that rare combination: explosive offense and suffocating defense operating simultaneously. Few FCS teams achieve this balance.<\/p>\n<p>NDSU&#8217;s roster boasts <b>an elite quarterback<\/b>, <b>NFL-caliber receivers<\/b>, and <b>arguably the nation&#8217;s best running back<\/b>. Defensively? They&#8217;re worse for opponents. The Bison ranked <b>best in the nation on defense &#8220;by a lot,&#8221; per Caruso<\/b>. Complete teams win championships. This is a complete team.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>2025 FCS Championship<\/b> proved NDSU&#8217;s mettle. They defeated <b>Montana State 35-32<\/b> in <b>January<\/b>, ending the Bobcats&#8217; undefeated run. That win capped their <b>10th FCS title in 14 years<\/b>\u2014a dynasty by mid-major standards.<\/p>\n<h2>What To Watch For<\/h2>\n<ul style='margin: 20px 0;padding-left: 20px'>\n<li><b>St. Thomas QB play:<\/b> How does backup handle NDSU&#8217;s elite pass rush?<\/li>\n<li><b>Score margin:<\/b> Bison nine wins were blowouts; will this be number ten?<\/li>\n<li><b>Red zone success:<\/b> Can Tommies defense bend without breaking?<\/li>\n<li><b>Fourth quarter situation:<\/b> Will NDSU starters stay in or pull back?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why This Game Matters Year From Now?<\/h2>\n<p>For St. Thomas, this becomes a foundational moment. Playing <b>No. 1 NDSU<\/b> on <b>November 22<\/b> in Fargo isn&#8217;t about winning. It&#8217;s about survival, effort, and learning. Coach Caruso sees it that way. &#8220;Any time you get a chance to play a great football team, there&#8217;s a lot you can extract from that,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The Tommies&#8217; <b>Division I transition<\/b> continues. St. Thomas <b>jumped directly from Division III to Division I<\/b>\u2014an extremely rare path. This season marks their full eligibility year for postseason competition. Games like this\u2014against the elite\u2014accelerate development faster than regular-season wins ever could.<\/p>\n<p>For Caruso personally, the game carries emotional weight. He started his coaching career at NDSU back in <b>1997<\/b>. He met his wife in Fargo. He built lasting relationships there. Returning as an opponent creates that bittersweet nostalgia only rivals understand. &#8220;When I started my career, I found those three things: responsibility, winning, and great people,&#8221; he reflected. &#8220;It happened to be in Fargo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>How Can St. Thomas Possibly Stay Close?<\/h2>\n<p>Realistically? They probably can&#8217;t win. NDSU&#8217;s talent gap is simply too wide. But the Tommies could damage control. If they keep it under <b>30 points<\/b>, that&#8217;s a moral victory given the injury situation.<\/p>\n<p>St. Thomas must control NDSU&#8217;s explosive plays. One <b>80-yard touchdown<\/b> feels inevitable. But multiple long scores? That&#8217;s avoidable with disciplined coverage. The defense has to bend without breaking every drive. Special teams becomes critical too\u2014field position matters exponentially more when you&#8217;re undermanned.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, St. Thomas can&#8217;t afford negative plays. Turnovers doom already-slim chances. The backup QB must limit interceptions. Short, efficient drives that consume clock beats chasing points you&#8217;ll never score against this defense.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Twin Cities Pioneer Press<\/b> &#8211; St. Thomas
