Bison on offense 1st.

Good 1st drive to start the game!!

GO BISON

Pretty iffy call.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Punch it in!!!!!

[BisonFan02]

More red zone BS.....Polasek needs to get this **** figured out.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Another frickin FG

[dewey]

4th and goal. Field goal coming. Dam ESPN3 for not working! $145 for ESPN game plan is too much.

3-0 NDSU leads after a nice opening drive.

Dewey

[Winindy]

Ponderous 3rd down call.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Nice defensive series

Why isn't it working for you?

[dewey]

Why isn't it working for you?

I have Direct TV and it is asking for me to verify that I am a customer of a ESPN3 affiliate.

It worked last fall for quite a while but not now. Anyone have any ideas?

Ask anyone with Dish for their login.. especially if they aren't a NDSU fan or watch ESPN 3.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Frickin penalties


nullified a 1st down....:(

[dewey]

Ask anyone with Dish for their login.. especially if they aren't a NDSU fan or watch ESPN 3.

I know this is a LOT to ask but does anyone with DISH Network want to share their log in so I can watch the game? PM if possible.

WIU goes for it on the 4th and gets it..

True Dat. I just assume everyone has ad block these days.

[IBleedYellow]

Seriously annoyed with how many penalties are occurring. Damn it it's infuriating.

[BisonFan02]

I hate this offense.........

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

These TV announcers have no clue.

I guess WIU is awesome and I don't even know it....xcoffeex

That was on Thorton,,, he got blown up on that play

[centennial]

3-3 in the 2nd

[Twentysix]

That was on Thorton,,, he got blown up on that play

WIU has had a few good runs. At least 2 for more than 20 yards.

[underdawg]

Necks have another guy limping #90--after losing starting OL member

NDSU does that to teams..

A bad kick by WIU--Bison on 35

[Drblankstare]

Pretty underwhelming start for the Bison. They look flat and the necks are playing well

[Twentysix]

For some reason this game has no live stats on any website.

Agreed, though i like our chances so long as we aren't losing going into halftime.

Fumble, WIU recovers

[Drblankstare]

Morlock fumbles and WIU is in business near the 50

[centennial]

NDSU turns over the ball..

[BisonFan02]

Pretty omnious right now.....

[IBleedYellow]

Goodness this frustrating. WIU is good though, so this is how I'd expect this game to go.

[Twentysix]

WIU with another 5 yard carry.

[underdawg]

Crockett cough up ball--WIU on Bison 36

[Drblankstare]

Bison D with a tip and pick.

[underdawg]

int Bison!

[Twentysix]

WIU with another easy fourth down conversion.

Run D unimpressive so far.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Huge INT for the Bison.

LETS GO OFFENSE

[IBleedYellow]

That's the defense we know and love!

Esley Thorton you the man!

[centennial]

And they get another 4th down again.

- - - Updated - - -

Interception!!!

[Twentysix]

NBC must be ahead of Espn3. You guys called that int when i saw WIU get the easy first down.

Did you see the scores of those games???? Quit acting like a UND fan.

[Drblankstare]

Wentz gives it right back with a terrible throw

[IBleedYellow]

WHAT THE **** IS THIS **** RUN THE GAWD DAMN FOOTBALL!

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Polasek's play calling really sucks

[BisonFan02]

Oh, and another turnover by the Bison.

[centennial]

Well that's that.

[Drblankstare]

Turnovers are how winning streaks die

[centennial]

I am not convinced we need the deep ball..
Short throws and run. Not happy with coach P.

[Drblankstare]

Bison D looking tired. Necks driving 5 min left in 2nd

[Drblankstare]

On cue Bison D forces a fumble. Lol

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Wow...another fumble

[BisonFan02]

Ugly game thus far......

[centennial]

Turnover again!

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Polasek needs to make adjustments.....run the ball and short passing game...no need to go deep like he does.

Run game is there.

[BisonFan02]

Need to give the Bison D a "blow" :D

[centennial]

Polasek needs to make adjustments.....run the ball and short passing game...no need to go deep like he does.

Run game is there.
Welcome to the chorus..

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Frickin Polasek.....why the deep drops?

[Drblankstare]

WIU is just daring the Bison to throw right now. Everyone at the line playing the run. NDSU has a real issue right now

[BisonFan02]

A lot of Bison fans are not going to like my poll this week.

[centennial]

WIU blowing up our line..

hey now...only the 1st half....

Hinz is not having a good game....

Problem is there isn't anyone to replace us..

[344Johnson]

If W Ill somehow wins the MVFC circle jerk will get even more intense.

[BisonFan02]

hey now...only the 1st half....

BS....1 game is an anomaly (Weber St), 2 games makes you start to really question something (Bison O against Montana), 3 games is a theme....this team isn't the #1 team in the country right now.

[centennial]

And more penalties.

yes they are #1

I think you overestimate the importance of your poll.

[BisonFan02]

yes they are #1

Respectfully disagree.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Respectfully disagree.

Montana game they moved the ball just poor red zone play calling. Too many mistakes on offense so far. Need to clean that up.

[BisonFan02]

Hahaha.....Klieman "iced" his own kicker.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Surprised with Klieman and the long FG. Go for it!

[Drblankstare]

This has been a real cluster**** of a half for the Bison. Still tied 3-3, but wow. Bison fans are not used to seeing this type of football

[BisonFan02]

Complete cluster****.

[centennial]

What kind of BS play calling do we have..cannot understand the logic.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

There better be a lot of screaming done in the locker room at halftime.

Most impressive to me has been the WIU D line. They have been getting good push into Wentz for most of the game.

Shouldn't you be ****ting bricks just like we are? Then again, at least you have a lead.

[Professor Chaos]

Ugly 1st half for the Bison and ugly in some respects for WIU as well. But there's a reason the game is 60 minutes long. I'd hope someone in that Bison locker room wakes them up at halftime.

[Vitojr130]

Our offense has looked like a dumpster fire with piss-poor blocking today. The entire line is getting stood up. It seems as if they are trying to just go through the motions... Hopefully Vraa is able to walk off his ankle injury.

[IBleedYellow]

I would be 100% content with a 10-3 win here today.

[Twentysix]

I would be 100% content with a 10-3 win here today.

I would be ok with a 5-3 win. :\

[IBleedYellow]

I would be ok with a 5-3 win. :\

Deal. Let's get a safety!

[dewey]

WIU with 161 first half rushing yards. NDSU defense gives up an average of about 70 yards.

Colten Heagle already with 11 tackles (1 for loss and 9 solos). Baker from WIU has had a big first half.

Dewey

[Drblankstare]

Well Bison fans we may not be playing good today, take solace in the fact that we're not UND. Those dudes are just inventing new ways to lose. xsmhx

What happened? I saw it was 15-15 and then the game was over and it was 18-15. I would rather see UN_ lose 56-0.

C'mon Bison. I wanted you guys undefeated when we play you.

Bison will be fine in the 2nd half.....I think.

Yeah it's a joke, everyone please put the knives and plastic explosives down. Lol

[semobison]

Necks hung with Wisconsin for a half and led SIU at the half. Lets hope their 2nd half letdowns continue. There is not going to be many easy games in the Valley this year!

[centennial]

Our oc wants to make us NIU-NDSU hybrid offense. It doesn't work like that.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

This here.

Northern Illinois crap is what he is calling.

[BisonFan02]

Getting gashed.....

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

LBer Thorton is getting blown up. He needs to play better.

[Bisonator]

Western Illinois is winning the LOS battle. That hasn't happened to us for quite some time. Hopefully we start playing Bison football soon.

[BisonFan02]

TD WIU.......

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Thornton again cannot make the play....his gap.

[Bisonator]

Wow Thornton needs to sit and put Deluca in there.

[BisonFan02]

Now the question is going to be....how far down am I moving them.

[Vitojr130]

:/ I think the team celebrated Octoberfest a night too earlier

[Drblankstare]

WIU just ran the ball right down NDSU's throat for a TD to start the 2nd half. Bison down 10-3.

[Twentysix]

WIU running at will...

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Now the question is going to be....how far down am I moving them.


Whatever.

Let's see if the offense can respond.

[skinny_uncle]

Now the question is going to be....how far down am I moving them.

"It ain't over until it's over."

Weirdest bison pass play… of… all… time...

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Frickin Woods....unreliable.

[Lehigh'98]

What happened? Who has ball?

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

What happened? Who has ball?


NDSU punted. WIU has it deep in their own end. 8 minutes left in the 3rd WIU up 10-3

[Lehigh'98]

Thanks!! Keep updates coming if you can.

[Bisonator]

It's going to be a dog fight. Hopefully we start making some plays.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Thornton is playing really bad....

[BisonFan02]

xcoffeex.........

[Bisonator]

WTF is Dudzick doing!

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

WOW...what a cluster **** this is.

[IBleedYellow]

He fair caught it...they tackled him? THE ****?!

[Drblankstare]

The wheels have come off for the Bison with yet another turnover

[BisonFan02]

He fair caught it...they tackled him? THE ****?!

You can't call a fair catch after the ball bounces.....rookie mistake.

[IBleedYellow]

He fair caught it...they tackled him? THE ****?!

You can't fair catch a bounce...got it.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Defense needs to make a play.

Offense needs to get going.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Come on Polasek...they have 8-9 in the box...

[Bisonator]

We need some points on this drive!

[Bisonator]

WIU shooting themselves with personal foul penalties.

[Drblankstare]

NDSU cannot run the ball, I am just shocked.

[BisonFan02]

Hopeless in the red zone............

[Bisonator]

WTF is with the play calling in the red zone!

[IBleedYellow]

Can any Bison fan tell me where our West Coast Offense went? I seriously am sick of only seeing pass plays that are 20 yard bombs.

[BisonFan02]

**** the FG.....go for it.

[Bisonator]

Go for it!!!!

[IBleedYellow]

Our offense just blows. I want our efficient offense back damn it.

[BisonFan02]

A FG is coming.........yippie

[Bisonator]

If Klieman kicks a FG we are done.

[Drblankstare]

Wow just wow. When you play timid this is what you deserve

[BisonFan02]

No worries.....can't even get a FG.

[Vitojr130]

Why a FG? A FG gets you nothing at this point! Go for the touchdown and get some momentum!

- - - Updated - - -

That pretty much sums up today....

[Bisonator]

We don't deserve to win. Just pathetic!

[IBleedYellow]

If we don't get 7 here it's game over and back to a 0 wining streak.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Keller is having a bad bad day.

[BisonFan02]

Absolutely ****ing gutless kicking there anyway.....play to win the ****ing game!

[centennial]

Bs... That's all I have to say

[Bisonator]

Keller is having a bad bad day.

Just keller????xconfusedx

[Vitojr130]

Usually, we play conservative football.... But this is just pathetic. Our OC needs to play call like we're at least trying to win the fricken game when we're down.

[IBleedYellow]

Fire Polasek, Save Season!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Just keller????xconfusedx

True but he has had the opportunity to keep it in the game.

[IBleedYellow]

I've seen nothing out of our offense for 2 plus games. Goodness this is a very bad offense. I probably have to agree with BF02. We probably aren't a #1 team with this offense.

[Yotes]

Down 10-3 to Western Illinois in the 4th quarter? You guys still going to laugh when I say the game in Vermillion will be competitive?

Also, one poor game and you guys are looking for heads? My dear lord....

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Now make this count!

We have the players but Polasek is calling some crappy games.

[Bisonator]

True but he has had the opportunity to keep it in the game.

Maybe the guys up front could block a little. And I wouldn't put a missed 54 yard fg after his HC iced him on him either.xsmhx

[Drblankstare]

This is the game right here. Bison down 7 in the 4th with great FP. Must have a TD to still have a chance

The fact we have to use a damn trick play to score a touchdown REALLY worries me.

[aces1180]

That was awesome!!!

[Vitojr130]

There's the ballsy play calling I was looking for! Finally calls something that wasn't so conservative

[BisonFan02]

I'm speechless with that playcall.....is that what its going to take to score in the redzone?

[Cleets]

WIU appears to have 3 running plays (total) in their offense - of which they only call one...

Odd

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Who's got ball

Bison have a 3rd and 10 in WIU's end

[IBleedYellow]

That's Carson's fault there. Put the ball where it needs to be and we have a touchdown.

[Cleets]

This is a HUGE down right here...

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Wow...good call by polasek...xthumbsupx

[BisonFan02]

That's Carson's fault there. Put the ball where it needs to be and we have a touchdown.

Its a RB that isn't use to worrying about body position in the endzone too...

[Lehigh'98]

Great W of Bison can pull it out. Find a way!

[Drblankstare]

The Valley just got really weird today

[Cleets]

Wow...good call by polasek...xthumbsupx

WIU has ZERO play calling creativity

BISON take control

[Bisonator]

Holy **** are we going to come out of here with a win? Unbeleivable! 17-10 Bison lead with 3:51 to play.

[IBleedYellow]

Great teams find ways to win.

That said, our defense still needs to hold the game.

[Cleets]

WIU for some reason thinks they can run ONE running play (over and over again) against the FCS best defense
They get what they deserve

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Defense needs to keep up the pressure.

[skinny_uncle]

Just a normal day in the Valley.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Just a normal day in the Valley.


You said it....

WOW...Thorton.....LOOK

[Drblankstare]

My god Thorton has just a bad game flat out. He could have moonwalked a pick six if he was paying attention

[NoDak 4 Ever]

I think when we he's split wide there, he's pretty concerned with not getting burned.

[IBleedYellow]

Just a normal day in the Valley.


Damn you're so correct.


Also, I sound like a prophet on the on the wedge, stating that Western always has seemed to play the Bison tough and expect them to do it again.

[Vitojr130]

[skinny_uncle]

Game over?

[Bisonator]

Well it was ugly but I'll take it. Good job Leathernecks!

[Vitojr130]

Jeez they need to have a serious video session come Monday. Kudos to WIU for giving our offense all they could handle today. I will say that this game actually kept me on the edge of my seat, and that is a feeling I haven't had for a long while.

[Cleets]

Western Illinois will watch this film and realize they gave the game BACK to NDSU
No disrespect to NDSU but that's the truth

Great teams find ways to win even when they don't show up. This is what SDSU doesn't have. Way to be resilient Bison!

No argument here.

WIU played a very good defensive game. Hats off to them.

The Bison offense needs to clean up their mistakes. Ugly game but a win is a win.

[Drblankstare]

Hats off to the Necks. They played a hell of a ballgame. The valley is going to be a beast, like we didn't know that already.

Of course they did. Also, these are the types of games that NDSU wins and things that make us furious. Great teams find ways how to win them, but damn they make us low 10 years of our lives.

Yep!

NDSU has a lot of work to do.

Hats off to WIU

And sometimes (Like in this game) Mediocre teams find a way to lose

[BisonFan02]

A win is a win, but the #1 team doesn't win on a trick play TD against an unranked/bottom of the conference team like that.
