[Drblankstare]

Don't know why they werent
Yeah a lot of teams have been leaving him one and one and I'm not sure why

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Boy they're trying really hard to keep the students from leaving.

Isn't TOP damn near even?

I usuallly have very little issue, but 3rd and 3 throwing lateral passing just bothers me for some reason.

I sometimes don't understand this play calling.

[Bisonator]

Oh boy this is something!

[Bisonator]

SDSU goes 84 yards in 41 seconds for the 10-6 lead with 31 seconds left in the half.

[Kemo]

Jake Weineke is okay.

[Bisonator]

That's the half. Jacks lead it 10-6!

NDSU is going to waste an opportunity to try to score. Bull****

Coach K. Needs to grow a pair.

[RabidRabbit]

Neither team took ANY of their time-outs.

[centennial]

Coach K. Needs to grow a pair.
He is worst than coach Bohl at being conservative. Plus Coach P has to call better plays, every week we try something different, how about run the offense well.

[NDSUtk]

Coack K lit up the refs for a solid minute on that TD catch claiming offensive pass interference. They didn't play a replay in stadium...any thoughts?

[IBleedYellow]

33 seconds left, 3 timeouts and down by 4. Take shots. Practice so that if you're in a critical game situation you have the experience.

This game feels like a carbon copy of the Montana game so far. It will be interesting to see if the Bison come out and run the ball 15 times in a row like they did to start the 2nd half in that game.

[RabidRabbit]

Yeah, Jacks need to obtain another turnover, and continue to win the TOP to have a reasonable chance.

Need to continue what's been working so far. Jacks Sr's back for their first game in a while have made big differences.

Like a 6' 6" running back. But, yeah... that was a good run.

Yeah, Jacks need to obtain another turnover, and continue to win the TOP to have a reasonable chance.

Could still happen, but looking less likely.

Bison have dominated the 3rd quarter. Jacks need to put some points up on this drive or it's gonna get ugly.

Man ZZ can slip through the smallest creases

[centennial]

Like a 6' 6" running back. But, yeah... that was a good run.
Yea he is too tall for a RB.. but he isn't afraid to put his shoulder down

There's been some holds both ways that haven't been called. Appreciate consistent reffing though.

Ugh. Nothing like a ball hitting the WR in the chest and bouncing into the air for the INT.

There's been some holds both ways that haven't been called. Appreciate consistent reffing though.

I definitely agree. I've seen a number of holds on both NDSU and SDSU that haven't been called.

Bison are on a path to much more success. There are few if any thing that the Jacks could have done differently to have won this game.

Ummmm.....not turn it over in the last QTR twice comes to mind. They could have done that differently.

There were refs?

[RabidRabbit]

TO's are a part of the game, and much more likely when trying to catch up. Opponent knows that must pass, and that pressure on qb (fumble) or Int are likely to occur. Therefore, only winning the battle in the trenches would have led to a possible W. Bison stayed to their average TOP, and Jacks ended up not getting the +2 turnovers needed to compete.

Going for the bomb on the 4th & 1 was a sweet gutsy call. Hit it and Jacks may have surprised the Bison. It's games like this that Jacks and Bison moved to FCS. Two great programs. Jacks are so much better now in FB than they were in the D2 days.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Great game by the Bison today. The Jacks came ready to play and it showed in the 1st half. Their TD with about 2 minutes left in the half was pretty good. But football games are 4 quarters and the Bison O-line dominated like they have all year.

If I was Polasek, why run Carson so much? He is a very good runner but why put him in harms way....

If there is a better DE in the FCS I want to see him play. Kyle Emmanuel is a total beast at DE for the Bison. Great speed rush and very strong at the point of contact.


On to UNI next week!

[Bisonoline]

The game turned on about 4-5 different plays that turned the worm. SDSU has a very good team.

Who was 44? Why isnt he and zenner coming out of the same backfield?

[KUlawJack]

The game turned on about 4-5 different plays that turned the worm. SDSU has a very good team.

Who was 44? Why isnt he and zenner coming out of the same backfield?

44 is Brady Mengarelli. He is the backup to ZZ and a redshirt freshman. We ran some stuff early in the year with both of them in the game, but have abandoned that it seems.

Nice game by the Bison. SDSU's inability to get a single stop on 3rd down in the second half killed the Jacks the way NDSU was pounding the ball. I think we've seen that play out in NDSU's favor on many occasions.
