NDSU @ CO ST Game thread

[Drblankstare]

Rams score in 3 plays to start the game. The Bison immediately follow with a TD. 7 to 7

[NoDak 4 Ever]

CSU after the initial TD look totally intimidated. TFL followed by 2 false start penalties force a punt that MWILL comes a shoelace tackle from housing.

[Drblankstare]

Safety for the Bison D. 9-7 NDSU

[bison94]

12 play 67 yard TD, 16-7 Herd

[Drblankstare]

TD Bison 16-7 NDSU. 1st qrt is over

[deez_na]

Go Bison!

[bison94]

19-7 Bison at the half.

[Drblankstare]

Last sec field goal to end the half for the Bison.

[DJKyR0]

CSU has no answer fOr Jensen. Meanwhile our D is studly. 30 minutes and it's ours.

[NDSUDude23]

NDSU playing very well and sitting with the lead at half time. However you know CSU is going to be making adjustments and is going to come out pumped up and swinging. Marcus Williams playing out of his mind, especially on kick and punt returns. Go Bison!!!

[totoinfl]

Take the 69 yard completion out from the third play of the game and CSU has like 77 yards of offense for the half...Look for some draws and screens to get something looking like a running game going. If they can only pass it will be a long night for the Rams.

The BIson O disappeared in the second qrt, but the defense is simply brilliant. CSU's offense looks a little lost right now. Their D is pretty good against the run.

[totoinfl]

The last drive was pretty good O...we will have to see what adjustments they make. No video here in Florida...listening on the laptop...

NDSU is kicking ***!

[NDSUDude23]

BISON with a 33 yard field goal!! Bison 22- Rams 7

[NDSUDude23]

Bison defense looking very very solid. Just as good if not better than during last years playoff run.

[sgt smash]

The meltdown at Ramnation.com is every bit as good as this game.

[totoinfl]

Yeah, but trying to read it requires a bit schizophrenia

[NDSUDude23]

Running game starting to work over CSU. Possession time a huge factor favoring NDSU. CSU is tired and their d-line is slipping up.

[NDSUDude23]

2 min warning, this one's in the books.

[penguinpower]

Eric Wolford HC at YSU called this game in the mVFC press conference. He stated NDSU would win convincingly.

[Drblankstare]

The game is in the books. The Bison D played amazingly, the only downside, is that Heagle is hurt. It looks like a knee, not good.

[GSUwinsagain]

Looks like The Bison are the team to beat again this year. Helluva defensive team

[NDSUDude23]

I'd say their are several other members of the MVFC that could have also beaten this CSU. A good win none the less

[Ginsbach]

Total domination. The Bison were never in danger and it seemed like a much larger margin of victory.

[BisonBacker]

The stats really tell how dominating this was for the Bison. Nearly twice the TOP for the Bison. CSU was 0 for 7 in the first half in 3rd down conversions and if memory serves me correctly 2 for 13 in the game. Total yards both in the air and on the ground were overwhelmingly in favor of the Bison. NDSU made CSU look silly. For their fans to be crowing early in the week about how they were going to win convincingly over the Bison, well lets just say I hope they like eating crow.
The only down side to the game is it looks like we lost our Stud safety #20 Heagle for the year to a torn ACL.

[bisonwest]

Yeah, but trying to read it requires a bit schizophrenia

That board is the worst! Most of the people posting are douche bags too. Douche bags eating crow now.

Probably shoulda been 28-0.

Should be used to this by now though. Face it if the shoe was on the other foot many of our fans would be complaining to. Not saying the duschiness would be the same but we'd have plenty of PO'd fans to. They are supposed to win these games in theory but the problem for the FBS teams is no matter it's a trap game. Win and you are supposed to but lose and all the fans go bezerk. Anyway it was nice to get the "W" but it came at a price. We have two weeks to rest up and heal and get ready for the last tune up game before the brutal conference schedule starts.

[Twentysix]

Are you sure they cant just give heagle a club leg?

[Drblankstare]

Accordingly to bisonville, Heagle tore his acl. If its true that is a major blow.

[DJKyR0]

Confirmed by Bohl and Valley News Live.

[Drblankstare]

I'm very sad about that news. Good kid, good player

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Heagle is a loss but IMO the defense will be just fine w/o him.


Watched the game twice, the Bison were better team. The score wasn't as close as the final.

The local news said 6k bison fans were in the stands.


After the 6,000 Bison fans who made the trip to Fort Collins celebrated yet another win ...

[Squealofthepig]

A pity the Bison nation doesn't travel even better - you could potentially ALWAYS have homefield advantage.

A friend of mine teaches at Colorado State, and I asked him several weeks ago what he thought about NDSU; I won't reveal what he said, but I think his opinion has changed mightily. Grats to the Bison on another great FBS win!

[Hammerhead]

It sure looked like the Rams had a hard time calling an audible down in front of the visitor's section before the safety. It sounded loud from where I was sitting. :-)
