UNI Post Game Thoughts & Discussion.

[Kevin]

1) Trey Lance is good at football.
2) I hate UNI and I like beating them.
3) By a lot. The hate factor alone proves they're our real rival.
4) The turn over after the beautiful INT by Hendricks was a momentum killer or it would have been over before the half. The dropped TD catch by UNI was even more so a killer.
5) Great balance by the running backs.
6) Their freshman QB is good. Ours is better. Will be a fun 4 years.
7) Great defensive performance over all.
8) The streak continues.

[El_Chapo]

f*** the Panthers. BURY OUR RIVALS

I LOVED THAT 2ND HALF

[Bisonator98]

Sloppy second quarter kept it interesting for a half. Trey missed some pretty easy throws I'm sure he would like to have back. The secondary got bailed out by UNI dropping passes but I thought they had decent coverage on some of those deep throws that UNI's receivers just went up and got too. Overall a very good win against a decent FCS team. Will be interesting to see how UNI plays the rest of the way.

[SoCalBison]

Agree that first, third and fourth quarters were darn good football. Loved the final TD, finally taking a tough opponent all the way down.

[TAILG8R]

No way that uni quarterback is their starter for 4 years.

2 and 3 are spot on. I watched the whole game in hopes that we could just hang 7 more on them. The frosh's last touchdown gave me a bit of an extra step to help finish the day strong. No need for a rivalry trophy for this game as a W is good enough. Unfortunately, after the Rabbits we will have nothing else to look forward to until Montana comes to the Dome during the playoffs and then against JMU in Frisco.

UNI is now Missouri State to us. I love it.

Farley can't count, but he can make an a## of himself.

[Professor Chaos]

That was pretty much the perfect game in the fact that they whipped UNI convincingly yet have some very apparent things to work on. I thought Lance looked the most like a freshman throwing the ball as he has all year but he was a dude running the ball.

UNI has two true freshmen quarterbacks (Nate Mertens and Justin Fomby) that were rated in the top 80 players in the 2019 FCS recruiting class. So McElvain will have some competition.
Overall, UNI's class was rated 5th and NDSU's 4th by Hero Sports.

[EC8CH]

His defense can't either. Hilarious watching them all stand around after getting called for 12 men on the field not knowing what was going on. The ovation the 12 guy got finally running off the field was good stuff.

Oh yeah... After a TO. Excellent coaching there Farley!

I am most certainly no expert on throwing mechanics, but that flea flicker play sure looked to be all arm. Trey did not seem to step into the throw (and it got a bit too much air).

Possibly, both Delaware and UND laying eggs today will offset some of that.

Christian Watson is an amazing WR. His catch for a TD reminded me of Darius Shepard catching a TD pass from Carson during the 2015 game. He is an amazing talent but he needs to do a better job of holding on to the ball. The flea flicker 60 yard bomb from Trey was in a good spot but Christian just dropped the ball. This is something young Christian Watson should improve on.

UNI is not a rival anymore. The only true rival is JackRabbits I think.

In terms of competitive games? Yes.

In terms of "I hate this team" like we had with UND once upon a time? No.

It's a hard fought game once a year and a blow out later that year. But I don't root for them to lose week in and week out like I do a real rival. That's my measuring stick at least.

It wasn't in the best spot either. Hung in the air for a long time. I was impressed Watson got himself in a position to make the play.

The flea flicker was a poor throw from Trey, it was underthrown. Watson didn't really have a chance.

I like the idea of the play. I think it just had to develop faster. I'd like to see it again down the road.

[Professor Chaos]

He could've caught it but it would've been a really good contested catch (much like his TD catch was). That might've been a situation where he would've been better off jumping and letting the ball come into his body (Randy Moss style) instead of trying to high point it. In the end though it needs to be a better throw... Watson had his guy beat by 2 steps easily.

There was definitely some dropped balls on the field today but Watson wasn't party to that. DB made a nice play on the flea flicker. That incompletion your doggin CW for was on Trey for leaving it short.

True but they would have owned us from 95-08. Those are their glory years but unfortunately all they got out of it was a painted up garage door and 0 Natty's.

He was trying to drag one of the UNI players closer to the ball as it rolled towards the end zone on that punt. The UNI player took offense and they both took turns shoving one another. Jabril started it but imo it should not have been a penalty either way.

That was a comical call. Seemed like the referees we're trying to outhink themselves and try to get the guy who started it instead of the guy who retaliated even though that retaliation was a pop to the helmet.

This is how I recall it going down:
1) #9 (punt returner) for UNI starts pushing his way into the pile of Bison punt coverage guys presumably to try to pick up the ball when/if a Bison guy touches but doesn't cover the ball.
2) Cox gives him a shove and #9 gives him a shove back.
3) Another Bison player gives him a shove and #9 gives him a shove back.
4) Hendricks grabs #9 and tries to move him away from the crowd of Bison players and #9 gives him a shove and then pops him with an open hand upper cut to the facemask.

I though for sure #9 was going to get a PF and that maybe they would call it offsetting. To just call a PF on the Bison and nothing else was nothing short of comical.

The 12 men on the UNI defense was a classic sign of a team losing their composure. First of all they called a TO because they only had 10on the field (if I’m recalling this correctly).

They come line up and the entire NW end zone is yelling for a minute about 12 on the field. Back judge must not have believed it because he sat there for awhile like “no f’ing way that’s possible” until finally he’s like “holy sh*t the fans are right” and let’s it fly.

The Farley loses his mind before he looks out there after 30 more seconds and realizes there’s 12 on the field and insert Homer Simpson back tracking into the bush.gif.

Sdsu game.

[scottietohottie]

The twelve men on the field was comical. I think the delay of game shortly after was because they were trying to count to 11. It takes longer then 25 seconds to count that high in Iowa apparently. I'll be surprised if the other team gets called for a penalty for the rest of the season. Seriously what a joke. Im pretty sure the left guard for uni jumped twice. Once on his own once with others. And nobody hit 9 after the whistle. He got popped before the whistle blew.

You know how when your playing madden and some punk goes for it on every fourth down and just does everything they can to mess with you. Well Matt Entz has been on that side of stig for long enough that im convinced those 2pt conversions are for him. Matt Entz is going to take the gloves off for the bunnies. I can feel it. Won't even be surprised if it's the bison who are going for it on fourth down. Like how he coaches so far. No mercy.

Two unsportsmanlikes in the same game and you're ejected though right? It's like double technicals in basketball... no effect on the play but puts the two guys "on notice" to knock that shit off. I didn't notice it in real time but I saw a video on Facebook where Cox does grab #9 and tries to pull him towards the ball (like 89MTBISON said) which leads to a shove from #9 and that set off the whole sequence.

What floored me about the call was the flag didn't come out until 4 shoves later after #9 popped a Bison player in the helmet.

Cox did "start it" but what he did I don't think would be a foul. It escalated with the UNI guy giving a nice hand to the face and that's when the flag came out. It was the first action that looked excessive to me. I was expecting a foul on UNI or possibly offsetting. Whatever, it didn't really matter.

Exactly what I thought. Cox was in his face walking him back from the play, then he shoved Cox right in the face. Call me crazy, guy who takes a shot at someone's head should get the flag.

[tony]

I didn't get back until the 3rd quarter was underway... saw 2 3&outs by NDSU and UNI drop a TD pass and miss a FG and I was thinking that UNI might have a small chance.

Not with NDSU's offensive line and our RBs though. Cofield's ability to get extra yards and extend drives just destroyed their defense.

Sent from my Pixel 3 using TapatalkLooks like a play by Cox to try and block #9 into the football (not a penalty, but may not result in possession implications). #9 then shoves Cox in the pads and Cox shoves him back in the pads before 94 steps in to to stop the fight only to get a shot to the facemask....But somehow Cox gets a penalty?

Both are valid and could be applied based on the overall circumstance. Bottom line is don't start something if you don't want to possibly get flagged for it. And don't retaliate because you both may get it or the official may only see the retaliation. From what I remember of the play it was rolling dead surrounded by Bison players to down it. No need for anyone to be blocking (especially kicking team) or pushing anyone.

[slips]

Great game by the Bison and great to see the game by game improvement. Although I suspect and hope the read option to the fullback will be eliminated from the playbook....that is all!

[TAILG8R]

Some laughing at my post about UNI's qb not being their starter for 4 years.

IMO he's too small to be a running qb in the MVFC long term. Yes he seemed quick and could move around but still didn't manage to move himself into positions to make plays. He's also not big enough to stand in the pocket. But the biggest reason is Farley. When is the last time Farley had a qb that he let start every game of the year let alone multiple years or God forbid 4.

Plus you're right I tend to compare other teams starters with what we've been spoiled with for years at NDSU and not just at that position.

Yes, you do make some good points - especially the point about Farley going to Farley and probably screw up his qb.

I thought he (qb) was impressive though, especially considering all the pressure our dline was able to get.

Getting tougher and tougher for some of us to assess other FCS talent. Me included of course.

[DORMIE]

About 3 times it appeared that he was going out of bounds, the
defender let up and he went for more yards. Film will show
that and some day someone will just light him up and
you won't see him again.

Both are valid and could be applied based on the overall circumstance. Bottom line is don't start something if you don't want to possibly get flagged for it. And don't retaliate because you both may get it or the official may only see the retaliation. From what I remember of the play it was rolling dead surrounded by Bison players to down it. No need for anyone to be blocking (especially kicking team) or pushing anyone.

Exactly. Zero reason for Cox to be doing that.

[Twincitybizon]

That's not the mindset a killer football team has. Play with an edge. Play physical. That's some real weak shit you're talking. Personal opinion

[Bison 4 Life]

He was in a bad position to be trying to block him into the ball. He got a penalty. Nobody died. Move on.

[IndyBison]

Personal opinionDo it within the rules or be willing to get flagged if you cross the line. Coaches often tell players to play to the whistle which he means play the entire play. The problem with that is the play is almost always over before the whistle blows. The ball becomes dead by rule in all cases but one...an inadvertent whistle. We'll have fouls on defenders who pile on a runner on the ground and claim the whistle hadn't blown. The down was over when the runner was down, not when the whistle blew.

... Overall a very good win against a decent FCS team. Will be interesting to see how UNI plays the rest of the way.

Despite having more than one loss on this years schedule, UNI has shown that when they play their best they are better than a 'decent FCS team', IMO. They pushed Iowa State into triple OT - a game they could have won. That Iowa State Team is 4-2, their two losses by a combined 3 points, with on of those losses to unbeaten Baylor. Iowa State is a very good FBS team this year. I am a little surprised UNI has as many losses as they do. They seem to be up-and-down. They get a quality win (or in ISU's case a quality loss), then lose a game it seems they should have won.

South Dakota State - also a really good team when playing their best. They could have (probably should have) beat Minnesota who is now 6-0 and will be 7-0 after playing Rutgers next week (unless winless Rutgers magically gets their game in order by next Saturday). The MVFC is a tough conference once again.

I'd like to hear your take on Sproles getting his helmet ripped off his head while being tackled not being a penalty and also on one play a bison got pushed out of bounds by a uni player then uni 94 jumped on top of the bison 3 yards out of bounds how that's not a penalty?

To me those are the flags that need to be thrown to prevent an injury from happening. That's how you clean up football. Don't let crap like that happen. Those two plays being allowed is also what makes that punt penalty so frustrating.

Kyle Emmanuel mentioned something this morning on the Locker Room that is true. The FCS, in general, is inconsistent year in and year out. I would argue that although we have had one off game hear or there, we are the most consistent and that's why we win. Maybe just stating the obvious.

Yes, maybe the obvious. NDSU has a "program" like New England has a "program." The team goals are greater than the individual goals. Players are brought on to contribute their particular piece to the overall process. That is why Belicheck can insert low draft picks and castoff veterans into the team and still get consistent results. Development of a process is greater than short-term FBS transfer fixes for long-term success.

I don't remember the play where the runner's helmet came off. Helmets pop off all the time because players don't always wear them tight enough. Unless you saw the defender grab a helmet opening (face mask, ear hole, outside edge) you can't flag it for a face mask personal foul. This sometimes happens in a pile of players or the covering official is shielded from the helmet of the runner. You can't guess that it was pulled off.

I think I saw the play by 94 you are talking about. It jumped out at me live as a possible hit out of bounds. The runner was going up the sideline with him behind the runner. There was another defender between 94 and the runner who legally hit the runner near the sideline and rode him out of bounds. The contact by 94 appeared to be while the runner was out of bounds, but all his contact was against his teammate. I assumed that was why the official passed. Doesn't mean he was right or he will be graded as a correct call, but that's what I saw on video.

I agree with both of your calls or lack there of. The pile on by 94 could have been flagged and no one would have been upset by that. But that is correct of how a game gets cleaned up. The helmet ripped off should have been for lack of a better word a face mask penalty. This can as always with UNI was chippy from the start.

From replay in dome it wasn't real clear, definitely not a facemask that was grabbed but appeared to me he got his fingers inside the edge in the eyes area of the helmet where it is a bit wider gap. Somehow in the process off the tackle he was able to pull on that edge hard enough that when Sproles bounced his helmet popped off but it wasn't an obvious pull and only seeing one replay in dome and I haven't gone back and watched TV broadcast. Sproles didn't get up for awhile but he did trot off the field and did return to the game, so obviously something didn't feel good for him for awhile. My memory may be bad on this as I kind of moved on and didn't think much of it I guess.

Not saying it should have been called one way or another. just his hand placement in live action I thought it was a facemask but then saw the replay wasn't really sure after that.

They had the play on the Coach's show (4:18 mark if the video doesn't automatically start there):


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReeosFPvRcA?t=4m18s

Looked like he got his fingers in the earhole or in the opening under the earhole and flung him down with that grip causing the helmet to come off. Didn't seem like a malicious play by the UNI defender (who was their punt returner involved in the incident later in the game) but it certainly seemed just as dangerous as a traditional facemask grab/yank and it looked like Sproles helmet-less head smacked the turf and that's why he was slow to get up.

When helmets pop off, they roll a yard or two. When helmets get ripped off, they roll 10 yards or so. Everyone can draw their own conclusions as to whether the helmet popped off or was ripped off. The replay speaks for itself. If anyone is interested in what my conclusion is, which I'm sure I can count on zero fingers the number of people interested in my conclusions, the helmet rolled a long ways.

[Bison 4 Life]

You can get the same leverage on the bottom of the helmet edge at the right angle without ever having reached in. Looks like that.

Pretty sure that's still a penalty though. Indy said face mask, ear hole, or outside edge is, by definition, a penalty. In any case, it didn't really have an impact on the game since Sproles came back and they continued to move the ball on that drive anyway. There didn't seem to be any intent from the UNI guy to do anything illegal or dangerous but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have been flagged.

For cripes sake you guys, he also said the official had to SEE it. Doesn’t make a difference how far the helmet rolled or whatever other criteria the junior detectives come up with.

Officials should not call what they think happened. Only what they see. Apparently no official SAW anything that was a foul. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Line Judge had an unobstructed view of it from about 10-20 feet away. Not sure whether it was his call to make or not but there was nothing out there to block multiple officials' view of the play. If I was a coach and I was told by an official that they didn't see a violation on a play like that I'd be pretty frustrated. But referees screw up from time to time just like players and coaches do. In general I think MVFC referees are better than some of the clown crews we see in the playoffs.

I've seen that white hat watching some other MVFC games on ESPN3/+ earlier this season but I'm pretty sure he's new this year at least. I didn't have a big problem with how the game was officiated. They let UNI get away with some stuff but there was a few times I put my hands on my head expecting laundry to come out against an NDSU player and it didn't so they appeared to be pretty consistent at least and they let the players be physical on both sides.

[IndyBison]

Correct. A face mask foul applies if the opponent grabs any helmet opening or face mask and twists or pulls. That includes the opening where the head goes into the helmet. If the official determined the edge under the helmet was grabbed and pulled that could be a foul as well.

One little secret I'll let you in on. If the official is watching the runner they are often watching the wrong thing. The hardest thing to get used to when you start officiating is NOT watching the ball because you are so used to watching football by watching the ball. You need to be watching the blocks in and around the runner or action in your area. If you watch the runner you'll miss that illegal block in front of the runner or the pile picker away from the play. On a sideline run you'll need to watch the feet to see if they step out of bounds and may miss something up high. Once the runner is getting tackled you'll focus on him for these types of fouls or fumble/down. Until then you rarely need to watch the runner directly.

There is an art to doing this really well and we are always working to get better at that art. Some are better than others. Those in the MVFC are really good, but they aren't NFL or B1G or even MAC good.

I agree with B4L's comments. Any time I see a defender tackle high I say something to him even though what he did was perfectly legal. By getting your hands or arms up there you are putting yourself at risk of committing a foul. These kinds of fouls are very rarely intentional and mean no malice. They just happen. Another good example of that is a chop block (high/low). Almost every chop block foul I've had I heard the lineman yelling at each other after the play. "I told you not to block the guy I was cutting!" or "Why did you cut my guy?"

I don't know the R but I knew a couple other guys on the field. One was working his first game in Fargo and the other had worked there many times. The announcers made a comment about the crew working there for the first time which is true for this year, but it's very likely there members of the crew had worked there previously. The MVFC is part of an organization known as the COC. It's something like College Officials Coalition. It includes the officiating staffs of the B1G, MAC, and MVFC. When they are hiring officials into the COC you could end up working any of those conferences so they are looking in the entire footprint of all those conferences. That includes everything from the Dakotas to Maryland and New York. I think they had guys from the east coast on this crew. The R may be new to that position, but that doesn't mean he was new to the MVFC. He could have worked other positions in the past.

Crews are dynamic year to year based on promotions, retirements and dismissals. If you do well in the MVFC you will be moved to a MAC crew and then to a B1G crew. That process can take years

I assume the officials didn't see it or weren't sure what they saw and that's why no flag. Honestly, I watched the replay 4 or 5 times before I was sure what happened when I finally noticed the helmet was flung down the sideline. I'm not complaining about the officials, us junior detectives need something to critique being we just obliterated another top 10 team.

And I believe they said on the broadcast that the officiating crew was from the east coast. At any rate, I didn't really notice the officials during the game save a few plays that were discussed: 1) missed false start on UNI first touchdown (ok, I was mad they missed this one), 2) helmet pulled off, and 3) late hit on the sidelines.

The referee was from the east coast. The rest are likely dispersed throughout the B1G/MAC/MVFC footprint. The two I know are from Ohio and Indiana.

Some here are starting sound like whining babies re: the “no-call” alleged penalties. The players didn’t get too riled up and neither should we. Plus, it’s not like we are beyond ANY wrong-doing now and then. Good God.

Sprole's facemask wasn't as bad as this which wasn't called either:

The referee was from the east coast. The rest are likely dispersed throughout the B1G/MAC/MVFC footprint. The two I know are from Ohio and Indiana.
General question for Indy Bison. Do officials of different positions I.e. Head linesman or side judge have areas they can call and things they are not supposed to call? i.e. Linesman rarely call holding. Side judge rarely if ever call downfield holds.
Thank you,

Oh it's just discussion. Didn't effect the outcome. Actually the lack of penalties make that ass kicking that much better.

My original point was that they're trying to make the game safer. If that's so those type of plays should be called 9 out of ten times. Im sure some refs will read this thread and just start throwing flags everywhere next game.

Do the players get riled up about the head coach's wife's twitter activity? :innocent:

Trey throws 3 td and no picks. Imho he is way ahead of where Easton was even in his sophomore year

I'm seeing Trey make throws that Easton wasn't connecting on until his senior year. Lots of upside yet to come.

I put my hands on my head twice Saturday when Trey threw that short out route. Had that been Brock or early Easton I think it could have been a pick six. Trey just nailed it. Put it where only his guy could catch it. I've never attempted such a feat but I've heard it's not easy. Guessing that's Randy Hedberg at work with lots of talent to work with.

Yep. You can see the tackler starts high and has nowhere to go with his momentum but with the helmet.

I’ve just noticed she isn’t re-tweeting and responding to tweets from players/coaches that others retweet. I don’t follow her or players/coaches like you do.
