GDT: NDSU vs. Youngstown State

[Bison 4 Life]

One of the best defenses in FCS and we won.

yeah, this is just stupid. No way we were going to house them on their field. We are two evenly matched teams and we happened to squeak it out.

I said it in this thread last night and I will say it again now. YSU is going to ruin someones post season. They will get in as one of the last teams and proceed to pound the hell out of a few opponents who think they are far superior because of their inflated bracketing.

Watched the replay... looked like a great game between two well-matched opponents - it was exactly what a game between two top 10 teams should look like.

Don't really have much to add to what others said except:

1. Looked to me like Board got hurt on the chop block play (but I could be totally wrong - I'll have to listen to the radio broadcast)
2. NDSU only had 10 sacks all season but got 6 against Youngstown (who had given up 10 all season)
3. Kind of think the refs were a little intimidated by Coach Bo... not sure what they would have had to do to get a PI called on them, for example.

I don't disagree but it will take a really stupid team to overlook YSU. Their defense is for real. If they get away with being physical on the backend, they are tough for anyone.

I made this exact point on the phantom PI call in the end zone against Jalen Allison which was just a great play.

Going to be interesting to see what happens to YSU this week, they have to play in Cedar Falls and it seems skeletor has the ship righted. The Penguins have kind of been thru the meat grinder. Whatever happens it will be nice that UNI is going to be beat up physically from it before they head to Fargo.

I wouldn’t have had an issue if the YSU defenders weren’t getting away with undressing our receivers all night. Then again, maybe those defenders were actually playing great, but we couldn’t see it because the production team has no idea how to shoot a football game (not a difficult task BTW).

I thought so too. But then we'd go to a spread look with no fullback and run the ball for essentially no gain, every time. Busting it for 4 to 8 yards with the fullbacks. Why we went away from that is mind boggling.

This, we were moving the ball with power, but then would go away from it. We never really got into a good running grove until the 3rd quarter but then our we would try to something else.

With all that being said, YSU is a hell of a team and took a lot of our strengths away from us. I hope they can win out, if they do, they will make a lot of noise in the playoffs. Just hope they are in the other bracket.

I’m thinking there are plenty of conference winners that will believe too heavily in their skewed stats from playing in a poor league.

I just wish UND was good enough to get a home playoff game, so YSU could go into that tin shed and whip them.

Edit: Then again, we just need to wait until '19 for that. :)

Glad we won the OT coin flip. Cooler to win on walk off FG than a miss if roles reversed.

Don't know if this has been said but this was the longest game in our D1 history. By exactly 3 plays ;)

Really? How was the EWU OT game in the Dome not longer? That game felt like it took forever!

Time-wise I'm sure you are right. But how far we got into the game was last night since we scored on our 4th play and against EWU and CSU we scored on our first play. Overtime is all untimed so I don't think you can go by time ;)

Chuck South game was even worse. I swear that sucker was 5 hours long.

I think Mays who played was a soph backup playing instead of Wells?


Because it was a different QB maybe?Ahh nope, the games I watched were all Nathan Mays...I think Wells only played the first game and then must of gotten hurt. Mays just had the best game of his life against the Bison...Superbowl baby.
