YSU Vs NDSU game thread

[Drblankstare]

I didn't see a game thread, if there is already one started, sorry.

Bison up 14-3. Start of 2nd q. M.Will with another pick, both offense's look good so far.

[Drblankstare]

8 left in the 2nd. Pens on a nice drive to the bison 20. Still 14-3. Bison

[Drblankstare]

TD pass YSU. 14-10 NDSU

[Gringer1]

Any internet viewing for this?

[Drblankstare]

Nothing for free, I don't think.

[Drblankstare]

YSU pick in the end zone, but it's called back for a roughing the QB. Ndsu, runs it in to make it 21-10. Bison offense 3 pos 3 TD's. 2 min left in the half.

[bisonguy]

supposedly this is, but I'm watching on TV so I'm not going to verify- http://www.vipbox.tv/watch/17214/1/youngstown-state-vs-north-dakota-state.html

[Drblankstare]

YSU TD with 17 sec's in the half. 17-21. Bison

[Drblankstare]

The pens run that spread very well, Bison D looking confused at times.

[Drblankstare]

Half. 21-17 NDSU. Bison get the ball to start the second half. Alot of offense, by both teams so far.

[Drblankstare]

Mcnorton fumble on 1st play of 2nd half. YSU ball at their 20

[MTfan4life]

McNorton was just breaking away on a long likely touchdown run, but he simply dropped the ball. No one touched him. I don't think I've ever seen that at any level of football.

Yeah it was very odd. Could be very big, the pens offense is moving the ball big time.

[DoubleE]

Deep Pass by YSU. ball on 15 now

[DoubleE]

Yeah it was very odd. Could be very big, the pens offense is moving the ball big time.

YSU can score with anyone, their defense is their Achilles heal however

[Drblankstare]

TD YSU, they are now up 24-21.

[Drblankstare]

Ojuri, 30 yard run to the YSU 14.

[MTfan4life]

Their run game is dominating, but they try a couple passing plays in the red zone instead and settled for a field goal.

[Drblankstare]

Pens D holds the bison to a Fg. All tied at 24. 8 min left in the 3rd.

[DoubleE]

sad thing is, Michigan State couldnt run on YSU like NDSU is right now

[Drblankstare]

Their run game is dominating, but they try a couple passing plays in the red zone instead and settled for a field goal.

At this point I wouldnt even bother passing. The Pens Dline is sieve like, but the Db's are playing fairly well.

[Drblankstare]

The crowd sounds almost completly out of it.

[Drblankstare]

YSU takes the lead with an FG. 27-24

[Drblankstare]

Bison turn it over on downs. YSU with great field position at midfield.

[DoubleE]

YSU Needs this win in the worst way. If they pull this off they go 7-4 and get in the playoffs. Next year is "the year" for the program as most the starters are fresh, and soph but to get into the playoffs and extra practice would be huge

[DoubleE]

YSU punts to the 12 yard line. 13:24 left YSU 27 NDSU 24

[Drblankstare]

[Fear the Bird]

Wow with the way things were falling today (Furman, Georgetown, UCA currently) i was starting to think Delaware could make a compelling case to be the first 6 FCS win team in the playoff field but this would be a huge crushing blow to the outside shot of that happening

[DoubleE]

[Drblankstare]

Guins going to the playoffs :)

[AppMAN04]

HAHA NDSU...WTG YSU!!!

[CropDuster]

xpopcornx

[MTfan4life]

That was embarrassing. They were playing so well offensively and they just fell apart. That fluke fumble ended being a major play.

[Appaholic]

Thank you, YSU, for proving NDSU peaked with the fumble in last year's EWU game...

[Drblankstare]

YSU played a great game, congrats. Bison layed an egg, better now than in the playoffs. The good news is that this should get YSU in to the playoffs if they win next week. Bison should still get a decent seed, but it wont be the #1 seed. IMO

[Engineer86]

Guins going to the playoffs :)

They should be! Particularly with Furmans precarious position, but I put them in on the other "last man in" thread

[Engineer86]

Lehigh tells NDSU:

thanks for helping us get into the top 5 Coaches and TSN poll rankings

Still do not know about that

[frozennorth]

YSU played a great game, congrats. Bison layed an egg, better now than in the playoffs. The good news is that this should get YSU in to the playoffs if they win next week. Bison should still get a decent seed, but it wont be the #1 seed. IMO

Ndsu fans better start rooting for the grizz.

[Ronbo]

Griz get to play #1 MSU. Oh, yeah!

[Drblankstare]

Sam Houston State says:

Thank you Penguins!

So does Sam get the #1 seed now? They are the last man standing.

[Ronbo]

So does Sam get the #1 seed now? They are the last man standing.

I watched SHSU play on ESPN3 today and they beat a 5-4 Northwestern team 43-10. They looked scary fast and scary good.

[Gil Dobie]

Nice win YSU, congrats!

[Twentysix]

Congrats penguins. I still root for you on any day other than today.

[crunifan]

Thank you, YSU!

Co-champs? :D

[Gil Dobie]

Thank you, YSU!

Co-champs? :D

Don't overlook the Redbirds, they are a decent team.

[CopperCat]

I watched SHSU play on ESPN3 today and they beat a 5-4 Northwestern team 43-10. They looked scary fast and scary good.

And they play in a conference that is only slightly better than the Pioneer.

[Drblankstare]

And they play in a conference that is only slightly better than the Pioneer.

Yeah thats kind of a problem.

[DoubleE]

isnt SHSU joining the WAC in the next couple of years ?

Absolutely the best attitude to take. Seriously.

Only 2 teams have gone undefeated from start to finish .... 1989 Georgia Southern, and 1996 Marshall. Can't remember which year it was that Montana went 15-1 (loss to Hawaii ... probably was 2001).

Losing sometimes puts a little fire in the belly. The playoff records are littered with teams that went to the postseason starting 11-0, and didn't emerge winning the National Championship.

[FargoBison]

Nice game Guins, you out played us and probably locked up a playoff spot.

[Bogus Megapardus]

I'm shocked here. My rooting interest for the NDSU Bison has been dashed. Could this mark a return to the grand Youngstown Penguins of old? What would Jaworski think?

[Professor Chaos]

Congratulations Penguins, your defense dominated the Bison D in the first half and your D line dominated the Bison O line in the second half. Well deserved win. Hopefully we meet up again in the playoffs.

Btw, sorry Sycamores.... I think YSU just dashed your playoff hopes. I apologize on behalf of the Bison.

[MTfan4life]

Everyone lost today, I don't think the Sycamores hopes are gone just yet. Central Arkansas is even behind late in the fourth quarter. Teams are dropping like flies.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Just got back to the hotel from the game. Ysu really dominated for the most part. Ndsu was kinda lucky to have a chance late in the game.

Id like to thank all the guys at bisonville and ags who made my trip to the fargo dome memorable!

Thanks for coming, sorry you had to see your only game in the FD during a 3 day weekend.

[DJKyR0]

Well, that just sucked. Bison came into this game with everything to gain and first defense couldn't do anything, then the offense lays an egg to finish the game. Couple thoughts.

DJ McNorton has regressed so much from the kind of player he was last season. Every time he touched the ball today, whether on kickoff return or out of the backfield, his first choice was to dance around and look for the hole rather than hit it. Sam Ojuri was one of our better, if not best, offensive players today and it showed up in the stats. The fumble to start the second half was absolutely brutal and combined with YSU's score at the end of the first half just broke the will of the Bison. Kudos to a program that really had us scouted out today and just had an answer for everything we contrived.

I mean seriously, after a huge punt return that brings you to the opposing 34, how do you respond by going backwards five yards and forced to go for it on like fourth and 20? YSU wanted a shot at the playoffs more than we wanted an undefeated record and top playoff seed and it showed in the game. Frankly they outplayed us in a lot of phases in the game and once again let me congratulate Penguin fans on a resuscitated shot at the playoffs - a win over #1 certainly helps your case.

Looking to the future - NDSU wins next week and we split the conference title with either UNI or Illinois State. That was still goal #1 and it's still attainable. Still can very well get a seed with a 10-1 record and a Big Ten win. Break down the tape, find what went wrong and fix it. Bison shouldn't be lower than 6 on Monday and I'll probably have them at 4 or 5 - still have a case for being ranked ahead of UNI and Lehigh, but MSU, SHSU and GSU most definitely move up this week. Congratulations to Montana State on likely being the new #1.

Good game, Youngstown State. The score didn't reflect how much better you were than us today.

[Twentysix]

Good post except, should both NDSU(7-1) and ISUr(6-2) win next week, we win the title outright.

Should NDSU lose and ISUr win next week, ISUr(6-2) and NDSU(6-2) and UNI(6-2) share with NDSU winning the autobid.

Should NDSU(6-2) lose and ISUr(5-3) lose next week, UNI(7-1) wins it outright.

NDSU(7-1) wins and UNI(7-1) wins, they would share with NDSU getting the autobid.

Right, I thought ISU only had 1 conference loss. Good catch. My brain is totally mired in sadness.

Same same.... hopefully basketball cheers me up a little..

[b_f_c_99]

My oh my, hows that powerball looking now. I will say that NDSU is an improvement over Bobby Ball, at least they stacked the box and stopped Youngstown from running at the end of the game to at least get the ball back and show everyone their passing attack. Bobby would have let them go on a 12 play 6-8 minute clock killing running attack by refusing to stack the line. He would of course had yelled at everyone to get tougher and just man up.

[Hammerhead]

Both offenses moved the ball at will in the 1st half. It's a tough loss, but might be something to light a fire under our butts to finish on a winning note and get ready for the playoffs.

[FargoBison]

3rd or 4th.

[FargoBison]

ha!

good luck on that one

you lost to an unranked team

We've beaten three ranked teams(including a top 5 team in UNI) and have an FBS win. YSU will be ranked this week.

[FargoBison]

ok, but you lost to an UNRANKED team today - in your most recent game

When you play a tough schedule, one game doesn't exactly wreck a ranking. Sorry to break it to you.

[FargoBison]

It does if it is the last game that you played before the ranking in question - which was a loss to an UNRANKED team

and besides, going from #1 to #8 in the rankings doesn't exactly wreck NDSU's ranking

A seven spot swing is pretty dramatic when losing to team that will be ranked this week. We won't drop below UNI, mark it down,

[Hammerhead]

YSU was not ranked, but they were #22 in the GPI heading into today's game.

[FargoBison]

you will drop to at least #8 since you lost to an UNRANKED team

We are 9-1 and beat UNI. We won't be falling below UNI. Check where UNI is ranked and get back to me.

[DJKyR0]

you will drop to at least #8 since you lost to an UNRANKED team

We won't drop below 5th.

SHSU doesnt deserve to be #1...............I dont care if they are undefeated.

Most teams in the top 10 would be undefeated in that conference.

[frozennorth]

Ndsu can make a weak case that it should still be #1, as they possess an identical record to msu against slightly tougher competition thus far. More likely ndsu will be roughly on par with gsu.

[frozennorth]

so MSU had a recent loss to an UNRANKED team like NDSU?
How many more wins does msu have over ndsu?

How many currently rank teams has msu beaten?

[Twentysix]

He is like a computer program. The same thing is spit out every time. xlolx

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

how long ago was MSU's loss?

how long ago was NDSU'S loss to an UNRANKED TEAM?


You keep spitting out the same crap over and over.

NDSU will not be ranked lower than 3rd or 4th.

[DJKyR0]

I'll make a rep bet that NDSU will at least be ranked higher than Lehigh, with a kicker that it's 4th.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

You gotta admit, it's a great way to get your post count up. Just repeat the same thing over and over again.

[DJKyR0]

Lehigh will be ranked in the 5-6th range and NDSU will be ranked in the 6-8th range in the TSN and Coaches Polls release on Monday

thanks for playing, however

I should clarify that I'm looking solely at the AGS poll - the one that's had the most credibility all season. Also, I notice you're slowly getting less-confident in your initial assertions guaranteeing 8th-place for an NDSU team that just lost to an unranked team at home. I'm curious as to why.

[Pards Rule]

I'll make a rep bet that NDSU will at least be ranked higher than Lehigh, with a kicker that it's 4th.

And where will Lehigh be when they lose to an unranked Lafayette this Saturday? My heart is still in the Greatland - go Bison!! All this is bunk once the playoffs start. This aint BCS BS!!

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

sorry, but NDSU will be ranked in the 6-8th spot on Monday

thanks for guessing though


Now it is 6-8.....wasn't your educated guess at the lowest 8th.........

[ysubigred]

Youngstown went 14-0-1.

Says the rube homer who votes in the AGS poll... when you are looking at the poll released today let me know how many MVFC nonconference FCS top 25 wins the conference has - my guess is zero. MVFC has two quality nonconference FCS wins SUU and it gets really thin after that. Ops the conference has two FBS win Minn/W. Kent props.
