Only game this fall, likely Trey’s last game as a Bison, raising the banner, honoring the seniors. I don’t care if I’m not in the stands...this is going to be awesome!! Let’s show all these NFL scouts what Bison football is all about. Score early and often! Big win for the Bison today!

Bison: 45
Baby Bears: 14

Good to see this thread.

Waiting til dawn to put up the flag. Let’s go Bison!

[gumby013]

NDSU - 56

UCA - 10

Extended to 38 games and sole possession of third place all-time.

Gonna be a good day. My Frisco Souvenir from the first championship turns 8 years old today. She's more excited for her birthday party, but she's excited for the game too.

Hoping for a fast start with no mistakes. We're all there in spirit.

Bison - 59

Bears - 6

Will they be playing a specific song played by Alabama at the end of the game? Just figured if they are doing all of the other normal things done throughout the year in one game I figured maybe this would happen also.

Please don’t yell at me.

Checking in for a prediction:
65-0, Bison.

Yes, I'm serious. You give these boys 1 game all autumn and months to prepare... the score better be something like this.

[Bison03]

Is there anyone tailgating at the fairgrounds?

[tjbison]

not even excited, wish we played more than 1 game and a better opponent. I cant believe UCA is ranked #11??? Missouri St was better than them, Ill try to watch guessing Ill be doing something else by Halftime

Hopefully nobody gets injured today, new guys get good reps and be ready for the spring season I still doubt actually happens, but if so LETS GO ZEB!!

See you all later

[El_Chapo]

Any Bismarck or West Fargo Fairgrounds Tailgating updates?

Any house parties on campus?

What a beautiful fall day for a football game. Absolutely gorgeous. Would have been perfect tailgating weather.

Oh well, not complaining. I'll enjoy the hell out of today regardless. Be well everyone!

Go Bison!

Agree, would have been a great day in the west lot. Woke up this morning and it was different not doing the normal tailgating routine. The “table-gating” game around town today will be strong. Already filling up at herd and horns.

Izzy. You were in the training game for awhile. There always seemed to be one or two players on every team I was ever on who were really gifted but were always hurt.
They would get healthy then something crazy would happen to them. They could never get out of the tank.

[gumby013]

More Jalen Bussey.

[bruinbison]

Good news on the injury report is the thought that Spencer Waege might have played if the game was one week later.

[bruinbison]

Hopefully Bryce Lance! :)

Someone the Bison haven’t offered (that has been announced anyways.....) is Gerrit Poncius. I’ve always liked him after looking at last year’s film. May not be an OT, but with his size and wrestling background could move inside. Would guess he is there with his parents to watch Hunter. Has lots of NSIC offers.

Is there another Volson brother?

[tjbison]

5 sets of Brothers suited up today, thats really something

For sure. And, in contrast to that (as you likely saw as well), there are always a hand full of guys on a given team that seem to stay injury free no matter how many reps they get. So many variables when it comes to sports injuries/recoveries.

Is it a terrible call or terrible rule? I don’t honestly know what targeting is anymore. It seemed clear to me that the defender was trying to tackle low, not target. Both guys lowered their helmet. It was more incidental than malicious.

If that's targeting then I'm not sure how there isn't like 10-15 ejections per game.

I have no idea what you guys are looking at. That was definitely targeting. Don't let Timmerman's blubbering confuse you.

And yes, this is mostly to protect the tackler. It's absolutely the right rule to have...at least if you want the game to live on deep into the future.

Fuck yeah! I love the delta formation! Generally results in a TD about 25% of the time.

Great run followed by a horrendous throw. I have a feeling we will see a much more poised team and Lance in the second half.

I wasn't expecting that. Look at JMU.. when it came down to it, it wasn't his arm... It was his legs.

I like how the Bison called a timeout there. A little fire there, even if the results haven't been showing it yet.

Timmerman can't tell the difference between the 17 and 12 yard lines.

As last season kept going on I feel like Tyler pulled him back and ran him more. Reads became easier, and plays less complicated.

Sidenote, anyone else notice the white hat official is the same horrible one from that shitty crew from the sdsu playoff game a few years back where RJ caught the game winner.

[scottietohottie]

Are the scouts even still in the dome?

[CentennialBison]

Treys draft stock is going down....

We are already looking at out of the first round if this game doesn't get better. Critics will take any chance at pointing out that Da Bears are a FCS team, and he was struggling against them.

[NDSUSR]

Can we get back to running the ball again please. And yes, Lances draft stock has dropped a lot in the last hour.
He looks very off today so far.

[heffray]

Trey will need something special in the second half, but otherwise, yeah, I actually think this first half had hurt his draft potential. No idea how you can think otherwise.

[ByeSonBusiness]

Idk if his stock is going down or not but lol sure has not been good at all.

[Big Bird]

Man, Trey Lance just has not looked good at all. Processing too slowly, inaccurate, and missed some wide open deep balls with poor touch.

It feels like he is trying to stick to a scripted game plan and he's going through the motions.

[scottietohottie]

Should have run trey a little in the first quarter just to settle him down. O line not helping. Beautifully choreographed kneeling at the beginning.

How bout that bison defense? Nice to see some things never change.

I agree. But it appears we are changing out offensive style so he gets more opportunities. We ran for 1 yard in the first quarter

That is a fair point. Run him a few times, getting him hit may get him in the flow a bit.

[Bison03]

Right now I could not give a shit about Trey’s draft stock. I want us to play better to win this game. Thats all that matters.

[Big Bird]

I know UCA isn't a super dynamic offense, but I've been impressed with the Bison defense. They've looked faster than usual and have played sound assignment football.

I'm interested to see how a fast, but slightly smaller D like this one would perform against a UNI or SDSU.

[HerdBot]

Offense looks rusty. This is their 4th game

Yeah defense looking tight. This is pretty normal right? Defense usually comes together before offense I think. Last year was a bit of an anomaly.

I agree with you about getting Trey some designed runs early. That does seem to suit his game.

[GreenfieldBison]

We are losing TOP at the half.

[EC8CH]

What game do you suppose the Colts scout was watching on his laptop?

Reading the Trey Lance thread on Bisonville.

I get what you’re saying but Trey’s performance is one of the only reasons we’re playing this game. Who cares otherwise?

[IzzyFlexion]

It's been a long time since we've seen NDSU punt 5 times in one half.

[GreenfieldBison]

I get what you’re saying but Trey’s performance is one of the only reasons we’re playing this game. Who cares otherwise?

How about Dillon? How is he doing?

[El_Chapo]

47 freakin yards passing. Ottertail Central HS QB had 247 yards in 1st half :( (his brother runs track at NDSU)

Yeah but they weren't playing the team with the best record in all of fcs this year either.

[El_Chapo]

This is weird, that is twice we have been in agreement now.

3rd times the charm.. lets see if you're gonna agree with this.. TIme to start drinking heavily. i'm on Morgan Coke #6 at Rusty Nail Battle Lake Chief Wenonga gonna have to drive me home.

I had 400 in Madden a couple of days ago.

[23Bison]

All I was asking for was a 63-0 type game for this one game if the season. I’m guessing that’s not possible now.

[IndyBison]

We need a ruling from Indy.. I think it is more complicated than thatIf you are making a natural step and your foot is heal-toe or toe-heal the entire foot has to be in bounds. If you drag the toe or lift it after touching it could be a catch.

Ahh yes. Almost that time to revive the kvly sucks thread.

[Big Bird]

Great start to the 2nd half. The play action to start was a really good call.

[heffray]

That’s a step in the right direction.

[GreenfieldBison]

Ahh yes. Almost that time to revive the kvly sucks thread.

Fire it up!

[Bison03]

There we go!! Run Trey and good things happen!

[scottietohottie]

Pretty obvious Tyler read bisonville at halftime and then made some adjustments.

[OrygunBison]

Seems like the camera crew is knocking some rust off as well.

[heffray]

Need to show off the art a little now, Trey.

[JMB]

Yep .. KVLY is in mid-season form.... (Unfortunately)

How about Dillon? How is he doing?

Dillon's done great, blocked 2 guys on one pass play in the first half.

that 55 yard TD run helps. ALOT

Or did you just text him directly?

[CentennialBison]

What helps, will be a good 40-50 yard throw for a TD and some accuracy.

[Big Bird]

I was literally just going to sing the praises of the job Talbert has done...

Overall he's been much better today than he was last year, but those mix ups can't happen.

[scottietohottie]

I'm pretty sure I could actually pull that off.

That was two big mess-ups on the same drive.

Wow...get 6 off the field. He has no clue what is going on.

Nevermind...that drive was 2019 Talbert in the worst way possible.

[Bisonator98]

Talbert sucks. Gotta find a better corner than him.

That was terrible. Like I said earlier our lack of building depth at corner is going to bite us in the ass

Torched Secondary TWICE wtf. this aint NDSU Football today.

I thought the whole point of a CB was to let the WR run free down field. Is this not correct?

[JMB]

His draft stock??? I doubt they are here to evaluate his running ability

[Big Bird]

So much for Christian Watson shining in front of the scouts. He's been just brutal today

[heffray]

Yeah 2 plays in a row we need someone else at corner.

[TAILG8R]

Not sure that was the most legal block on 96..

[El_Chapo]

Trey with 30+ run.
I agree with everyone on twitter.

we need to see some throws Trey... the OC better not be conservative

[TAILG8R]

Now he's just pressing. On every single throw.

True, but he has some real negative plays today. Dropping the kickoff, turf monster catching him for a loss with nobody around, and not making the leaping catch by the sideline on a catchable ball. Just too many mistakes

[NDSUSR]

UCA got their wish. Really poor throw and poor decision.

[scottietohottie]

Stocks only go up. I read it on bisonville.

[Kevin]

2020 sucks.

[SoCalBison]

Thank God that monkey is finally off Trey's back. Now settle down and win this mess!

[Big Bird]

Trey Lance is not ready for the NFL draft.

UCA may win this game.

[HerdistheWord]

Trey has been throwing terribly this game. No scout is going to like what they have seen in the air from him. His running game is solid as always though.

[TAILG8R]

UCA adjusted really well. Bison look lost.

Actually this maybe good for his draft stock... If I was a scout, I want to see how he handled adversity.

[BFKasper14]

Garbage. This is embarrassing. Defense is lost.

NDSU Defense's hot poop combined with Trey and Watson and Sproles not showing up = LOSING

[Big Bird]

Two straight awful drives by the defense

[NDSUSR]

Embarrassing. I feel like a Cyclone fan must feel.

[HerdistheWord]

The decision was fine, the throw was terrible. That is an easy catch if it is over the top.

[Bisonator98]

Wow the coaches have work to do with this team.

[NDSUSR]

Ummmm no. He has 2 turnovers through 3 quarters and cant pass worth a damn. Thats what scouts are seeing.

[JMB]

Well let's see how he responds to a Turnover and a deficit..

[No_Skill]

Lots of game left. Not jumping off any bridges yet.

[Bison03]

Lets go boys...time to respond!!

[SoCalBison]

UCA QB's stock is rising, some people are saying. And he's got at least a few NFL scouts still in the building to witness it.

Remind me again, why was it so critical to schedule this one game this fall...something about practice is so important?

[TAILG8R]

Watson needs to change his shoes.
