[23Bison]

Illinois States passing game is non existent.
Their running game gets yards and 2 scores but that’s it with their ST struggling to score.
NDSU has a balanced run/pass attack and the defense holds strong. Bison 27-14

[Bison03]

Our weapons will be superior to theirs today. Rams have a big game and we run like wild.

Bison: 28
Angry Birds: 17

[Christopher Moen]

After watching two of their games (Morehead State and Northern Arizona), I feel that Illinois State is a good, solid team that will offer some challenges to the Bison. Their defense is good and their two RBs would be welcomed on most FCS teams. A lot will have to go their way in order for them to win, but I expect NDSU to win a four quarter battle by a score of 27-17.

Stay hungry, stay humble!!!

Gonna be wild. This one is a sellout.

Gonna feel like reverse of Frisco in 2015

[HerdistheWord]

This could be a tough one today against a good team. I’m feeling a 27-17 type game unless Trey channels his Inner Patrick Mahomes. The key to victory is stopping the ISUr run game.

[Gully]

Kolpack and Izzo both picked ISU, I believe. Should be a good one.

[scottietohottie]

Find out if the rams are for real today. I'm going to make some popcorn.

[NovaBison]

This is one of the losses on Dom's "Vision for the 2019 Bison" -- which includes a ridiculous 4 losses... definitely clickbait for the foolum.

This is a post Bye Week game... the Bison come out sharp. Those minor things we saw 2 weeks ago that were a bit frustrating have been cleaned up. This team is on a mission, and they show their superiority...

Bison 31
Redbirds 10

[KSBisonFan]

I think this is closer than we like but Bison win 24-16.

[BisonTeacher]

Props to bi5on for commitment!

Flag up. Gameday shirt on. Stumplifter in hand.

[heffray]

I can’t pick a score here. I think our D is in for a wake-up call. Bison win by less than 8... I hope...

[Bisonator98]

Nail biter......27-24 Bison in OT

I’m in the minority. I think NDSU rolls in this one. Players unhappy with UC Davis game and come out firing.

My question was answered on TV. A-10 Warthogs. Or Thunderbolt IIs if you're pedantic. Much cooler than F-16s.

[MinotBison]

TD!!! Great way to start!

[pucknut9]

Nicely designed play on the TD

Can’t spike the ball in college EVER. I’d like 55 to wipe that smile off his face after such a bonehead move. One more and he goes to the locker room. Something to keep in mind.

It’s called discipline. Drawing a 15 yard USC penalty isn’t something to be proud of.

Yes, he was out last year and hasn’t played a lot. I give him credit for his dedication. Right now he’s a weak link if you really watch our defense. We need more from him.

My theory: Bison need to score 28 or more to almost guarantee a W. So score a TD on the opening drive and put this one to bed.

Easy peasy.

And it wasn't a wide open missed td. The safety moved to where the ball was going. Had Trey thrown to the other guy the same thing happens. Tackled at the 2.

And we are playing against the officials who don't call facemask penalties or eject a Redbird for pushing an official after the play.

[DakotaOkie]

He visibly slowed down 10 yards before being tackled and then was given tablets and fluids on the sidelines. Leg cramp would be my guess.

If that play ended up being called an incomplete pass vs. a catch/fumble it's a very big deal...

Ah, just heard Matt Entz interview: down in red zone on offense and only came away with 3. Downgrading my A+ to B. See, that’s why I am not an HC.

[TAILG8R]

And we are playing against the officials who don't call facemask penalties or eject a Redbird for pushing an official after the play.Agreed

If that play ended up being called an incomplete pass vs. a catch/fumble it's a very big deal...

Good burst there!!

Refs get paid off?

[Bison03]

He should have just pushed the ref, that isnt a penalty

[El_Chapo]

2nd and 25 and we run lance...??? cmon.

[El_Chapo]

WHY ARE WE PUNTING ON THE 39??

pansy ass call

[DakotaOkie]

What was the PF by Zack J?

[HerdistheWord]

What was the PF by Zack J?

Getting pushed by an ISU player? Apparently they missed a personal foul on the ref for the same thing earlier.

[tjamz]

What was the PF by Zack J?I was trying to figure that out as well.

We know it wasn't face masking or pushing an official.

[scottietohottie]

Red birds offense is almost identical to the Minnesota Vikings.

[JMB]

Robinson with the flop!

[NDSU92]

Holy shit is that hit out of bounds penalty a horrible call. This is football right? Or does it turn into basketball as soon as they take one step out of bounds?

Pretty obvious late hit.

Yea. stupid to post that here in a game thread. we dont care

PLUS. WHY WONT ANYONE ANSWER ME. WHY ARE WE PUNTING ON THE 39. #1 TEAM IN. NATION. WE DONT TRUST OUR DEFENSE.

like Watson.. would like to see him and Sproles targeted more

Lots of holding going on by Birds’ oline IMO.

You mean that it's unimportant when the team that gave us the toughest game of the season so far is stinking it up against a team that is borderline top-25 at best? It's not about UND, it's about UCD you fool.

[23Bison]

I would like to see some more Clark.

[scottietohottie]

I just saw superman get a first down!

[HerdistheWord]

I had UCD/UND circled as a game of interest so far. UCD’s toughness surprised me, but they are either falling apart or other teams are playing their super bowl against them. Makes you appreciate NDSU’s consistency that much more.

[HerdistheWord]

Who wanted to see more Watson?

[CAS4127]

Wow—did not think Watson had that kind of speed and moves.

Well, when NDSU is up 20, averaging over 5 yards a carry and running clock... I guess I’m okay with it.

[JMB]

I do like how Trey keeps his eyes downfield looking to pass when he is on the move

[Hammersmith]

Please don't tell me he flipped the ball before he crossed the line.

[Bison03]

Almost a dumb play there

[HerdistheWord]

He was obviously across...

The ball wasn’t even out until his feet were in...

[23Bison]

So much for hearing about there 230-250 pound LBs. Looks like plenty of rushing yards and such to go around.

[No_Skill]

This has to stand as called, but he needs to get his ass chewed.

[Stary2k11]

Almost the dumbest play you can make in football.

Not to be missed on Watson TD. Lance with great pre-throw look-off to his left. The kid is good—convinces if that. I’ve seen enough now to be a believer.

There's a guy with one freaking eye black and one not. I think they're having a little too much fun.

[CalBison97]

No, he does not need to get his ass chewed. Christian was 2 steps in when releasing the ball. It looked sooner because he was raising his hand up. That’s why it only took 2 seconds to review.

[scottietohottie]

Should be on a business trip.

[NorthernBison]

We have some discipline issues to clean up. Not terrible but things can snowball. Usually at a critical time.

Have all the fun you want, just do it 2 yards into the endzone.

NDSU catches a break? ISU can’t catch any? NDSU made a TD. It wasn’t some “break”. Also ISU has caught 3-4 breaks thus far by my count and that doesn't include holds. Sorry, there isn’t much to complain about with our kids, so I turned to the announcers now.

[HerdistheWord]

Jabril almost had that. Almost...

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkActually talked about his ability to look off defenders a few times this game already. Beyond his years. And his physical tools are ridiculous. Potential to be elite in his career for sure.

Close, but he was in. That is a crappy angle from behind. I thought there was a frontal a side view that showed it better.

Yep. We seem a bit less disciplined than previous years, fewer senior s??? And yes it is a big deal, football is a game that teams lose by making mistakes vs winning by making plays

Meh, the whole trash talking, show off celebrating has increased this year. Not saying it’s a problem, just don’t want to see us incrementally lose our culture

As I mentioned before... Hustle play stops a touchdown, and the team walks away with nothing.

Did his right knee hit somewhere, because it looked like the left was in the air until the ball crossed the line.

And yes it is a big deal, football is a game that teams lose by making mistakes vs winning by making playsPersonally I think that was a slow progression over the last 5 years. Slowly we saw more personal celebration, more 15 yd flags, etc. We are still winning and proving to be the best of the fcs but the way old school hand the ball off and line up again is getting to be further and further into the past.
