Proof of double standard, the next series Bruce Anderson had a carry were he was also "clearly" going out of bounds and Iowa player hit him a half second before going out and nary a comment. Also seems odd it was not the ref that was right there didn't throw a flag it was the guy down field.
Anyways our run game was great in the 2nd half. Hopefully Polasek finally seeing the light a bit.
The 2 point call was absolutely right, we had been rolling them that whole drive. When I was going through the options and coming up with reasons to my wife, it really made a lot of sense to me. The worse case scenario was they would get some decent yardage and get to field goal range, then kick a field goal as time expired. But I think they went all conservative and thought NDSU wouldn't be able to make enough quick strikes to get into range.
Loved watching this game, hoping to keep it close was a reasonable expectation, winning was gravy!
