Feeling the shutout... anybody can score a bunch of points. But, Code Green is on a mission - Denying the end zone to anyone they face.

Really looking forward to watching all the MVFC matchups today... we are in for some great football tody!!!!!!

[DCinOK]

Last year's game in Springfield, MO was a perfect fall day and an easy 3 hour drive from where I am in Oklahoma. Was a great day to watch the Bison. Today I'll watch them on ESPN3 and it will be a great day again.

Yup, although it shouldn't be close, this is easily the best team we have played at home this season. They were tied at the half with The Redbirds last week. I don't think they get 10 and I don't think we get 40 either.

Not unless they changed Holden to #7.

5-6, 95 yards with a drop on the first drive!

Missouri State should have gone for it there on 4th and 2 near midfield.
NDSU is going to score, you might as well let your offense try and stay on n the field.

Was that Dunn's 6th touch in 2 weeks with 5 TDs?

[HerdistheWord]

Lance Dunn is hungry this year...like fat kid standing in a buffet line hungry. Love it!

Great job by the left side on Dunn’s td run! Both Conner and Messner with quick feet and seal-off blocks.

You keep your eyes on the numbers when making the tackle and that call goes the right way.

[SoCalBison]

That was one of the worst calls, ever. Can't believe it was upheld. Are we playing by flag football rules today?

[DakotaOkie]

Wow...Steckel appeared to not agree with that BS targeting call either. It was barely a late hit and certainly not targeting by any standard beyond the officiating crew up there today.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

All "targeting" calls are BS but you guys got royally screwed on that call. Everyone involved in that call should be released from their jobs

[1998braves64]

Think from my angle in 21 he put his head down leading with the head will get you in trouble, was it called by rulebook probably so just nature of football these days they have a line can't cross it even if it is your fingernail figuratively.

[Bisonator98]

HTF can they review that and still say targeting??? Something is seriously wrong there and someone needs a new job!

[Bisonator98]

Defense looks like shit.

Just gave up 2 gifted first downs on stupid penalties, one of which was complete bullshit.

[SUBISON247]

Defense looks fine, you can’t give up free first downs against option teams.

I was fine with the penalties. The targeting was bs!
Great goal line stand!

[bruinbison]

This DeLuca guy looks pretty good......

[Bisonator98]

And then Messingham calls for a stretch play from the endzone! WTF!

[RonMexico]

uff...bad decision there...can't bounce it outside in the endzone..

[SoCalBison]

Bison 14, Refs 7

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Dunn had the ball in his hand should be a safety

[SoCalBison]

Bison 14, Refs 7

Uh, ok, I take it back.

[Bison 4 Life]

And then Messingham calls for a stretch play from the endzone! WTF!That's a bad decision. Dive or nothing

Umm the ball is clearly in his hand when it hits the ground. JFC. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

That's a bad decision. Dive or nothing

Horrible horrible call. No excuse for that.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

What a bumbling fkg team the Bison are today.

Now Marlette hurts his knee! WTF!

Besides all that they gave up a TD because a new safety didn't know the basic football play of twisting a players foot off to make a tackle.

Missouri State would beat Mississippi Valley or Bob Morris by multiple scores! The Bears although not good by Valley standards at least put up some resistance! The 2nd qtr was a mess, other than that it was what I expected.

Fun fact and question (because I don't know the answer): Bison lost TOP battle today, 33:58-26:02. When did that last happen?

Guessing USD - 2015

[EndZoneQB]

I was at the first game. By the end of the first quarter people (a lot of them) were leaving. I don't get it. You buy tickets...you support the team...and you leave a mostly empty dome for the subs to play in front of.

JFC, it was MVSU. Get off your high horse. I did not buy season tickets to see a 70 point victory. Sorry, I have better things to be doing than watching a DI football team play a HS team. Trust me, the subs don't give a shit whether or not you are there. Everyone knows wtf is going on...they aren't stupid.

[WeAreThePride]

Oh my god this halftime show is the worst ever

Why don't you join the band staff and try to write a show and rehearse it in 2 practices?

[WeAreThePride]

The way the Bison looked in the first half they won't win 3 games in the valley. Hopefully, this is the wakeup game they seem to need annually.

The defense gave up 3 points. 3. Points.

We're gonna be fine.

Edit forgot the garbage time TD. Gave up 9 points.

Was a weird game we would run for 1 and then break a long one

Some of it was fast scoring but after the fast start it was

1 play safety
3 and out
6 plays 13 yards field goal
4 plays TD
Sack fumble
3 plays Td
3 plays Td
Then we ran out the clock

Did the band forget it was homecoming? Only having 2 practices prior is ridiculous.

Good god! Western Illinois WR Acklin finished with 19 Rec 343 yards and 3 TDs against USD

That is a good day.

Couldn't believe some of the posts during the game today. Other than sticks one miscue and the mix up in the end zone they played a pretty darn good game

Win #700!!!

Also, for those complaining about the score, remind me what the score was during the game in 2015 against F'Hawkers? You know, the game where our boys put a whipping on them. Heck, go look at the MVFC scores during the title-runs. Most were a lot more closer than this game.

I get it, the game wasn't perfect, but when is that expected in MVFC play? Every MVFC team, bad or good, sees a huge opportunity target to go all out against the Bison. That's how they've lost head-scratchers in the past (i.e. ISU-b or USD). However, this game, was not one of those games. Just a terrible quarter due to terrible penalties (earned or not) that kept the defense on the field way too long.

I don't want to go through the whole thread. Who went out with the knee injury? How serious?

[bri-dog]

Dan Marlette. Not sure on the details...

[LITTLEGUYSINGREEN]

Dan Marlette. Not sure on the details...

That's what I thought. Jeez how thin are we at LB. Who went in for him? Who got booted for the targeting foul?

[bri-dog]

That's what I thought. Jeez how thin are we at LB. Who went in for him? Who got booted for the targeting foul?

Cole Karcz got booted. It was an absolutely horseshit call.

[EC8CH]

Bison are still deep at LB even with Marlette out.

Cole Karcz on the absolute total bs targeting call but he's back next game.

[LITTLEGUYSINGREEN]

Yeah, it was a BS call, for some reason I thought he was a LB.

Yeah I get that but after watching pretty much every team shred their defense, I can't help but feel like our offense under performed . Not counting their squeaker over garbage Murray State, today was arguably Misery States best defensive effort of the season. Our offense had lots of dumb mistakes, drops, and penalties. Horrible play call of the safety.

Don't forget... Misery state is by far the worst team in the conference and they are not improving.

We did some really good things at times and won the game vs a conference opponent. That game had a weird feel to it.

35:36 to 24:24 playoff gave vs San Diego last year.

[Bisonator98]

After watching the replay I don't think the safety was a designed outside run play. It appeared to be blocking for a straight ahead run but Dunn tried bouncing it outside instead. Gotta know when to look for the big play and when to get a tough yard or 2. Hopefully a learning experience.

Outside the safety, turnover and lost second quarter, I'd say NDSU did shred their defense. Keep in mind that Koonce only punted once and our offense (helmed by Van Dellen) ended the game in scoring position.

Run-heavy offenses like NDSU's aren't designed to put up 50+ every game.

I don't agree. Indiana State, or possibly SIU, will be substantially worse than Misery State.

[BisonTeacher]

We shoulda won by 50 so we could complain about winning too much again. I miss that. I'm gonna go watch fbs now. Alabama is beating miss St by 50.

I get that but we had a stretch where we couldn't do anything. We had a safety, a 3 and out, 6 plays 13 yards FG, and our best 2nd half sustained drive ended with Stick almost getting killed and fumbling.

We did some great things but our offense had some bad stretches. I hope it's due to us not showing anything on tape

It might also have to do with our starting offense not playing a whole lot in the three previous games.

[Professor Chaos]

I'm honestly not too upset to see a little sloppiness today from the Bison. This was obviously an opponent they could afford to be sloppy against and it should allow the coaches to have plenty of ammo to refocus the team with this week. Get that shit out of their systems at home against Missouri St instead of on the road in Youngstown in a couple weeks.

[WeAreThePride]

Yes. 10 char

[Professor Chaos]

I think the biggest concern I had was the designed QB run for MSU seemed to be good for at least 5 yards every time today. This is going to be very problematic if it isn't fixed by YSU, SDSU, and USD.

I'm gonna chalk that up to the defensive strategy. MSU QB was never gonna win the game running it. I think they'll game plan more against the QB run for the South Dakota schools.

Yeah it took us too long to adjust. Doesn't help when they were running it and our offense couldn't stay on the field for long periods. And you are right YSU, USD, and SDSU will exploit this

YSUs QB running doesn't scare me. Their Achilles heel is their QB play again this year. Bo don't know how to handle quarterbacks.

[DIBISON]

The Bison D have given up 3 touchdowns in 16 quarters. The QB draw s today by MS didn't keep them in the game.

Stop it. Your sounding like a Jackrabbit

[A1pigskin]

Too many penalties.
Kickoff team needs to improve.
There were a few times that Easton got hit from the back. Maybe he needs to be more aware what's behind him as well. A few of those plays could have hurt him very badly.

I was really happy to see RJ getting some passes.
Glad to see DeLuca back now that Dan M. got hurt.

Other than these, nice win. Does anyone have a link for a vide showing the spearing call?

QBs feet still in the air, defender puts shoulder into his chest.

Not a good enough angle to overturn my ass.

Nothing about that penalty was correct.

Not an official, but that certainly looked like a clean football play. Would love to hear Indy's take, including what happens to replay officials that miss a call by a mile!

He said the replay official in the booth told him there wasn't a clear look from the replay the TV had. Once it was called targeting on the field they couldn't change it. Shawn said tongue and cheek that it was kvly's fault since they didn't have better angle replays.

Yep, missed by a mile. It would be one thing if it was 15 yard penalty, but someone got ejected. When you eject someone there better be 100% evidence. From what I see Cole's arms pushed him and not his helmet.

So where did bri-dog get his angle? It looks like he just taped his TV. At the game the only replay they showed it was hard to tell. It looked like he may have hit him in the chin, but it was impossible to know.

That sure looked like one of the angles from the broadcast replays that I saw.
