I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

The whatifers of JMU have now convinced themselves that if only one of their supposed unforced errors didn't happen they would have won by multiple scores.
They really had themselves convinced they were going to go on a multi year run and send us to the dustbin. It has to hurt.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have watched the game again and agree with Coach K. The Bison were very conservative. That being said, there were a couple of second downs I wish they had run the ball to set up shorter third downs, so there was room for even more conservative play. Also, going over the top like they did with Shephard was there a few other times, as well. They still had man coverage in similar situations with a LB on him. That was the Bison not taking advantage of JMU errors. The Bison could have played the game a few different ways and still found success. JMU didn't quite have that luxury. Everytime they tried to change it up, NDSU had an answer.
I think if you played this game between these two teams 10 times, the Bison would win most. Not because JMU didn't have talent, but because NDSU really did hold a lot to the vest on the offensive side. As they would have gained more confidence, the more the offense would have opened up the game more.
It appears JMU fans (and coach?) suffered from a broken magic spell. Until the defeat at the hands of the Bison, they were on a series of impressive streaks... 26 win streak, coach never having lost a game, #1 ranking, etc. etc. Suddenly POOF, it all disappeared.
Anyone think that the roughing the kicker incident actually hurt Koonce and was a contribution to the punting afterward?
You wanta play football, any school will do; ... You wanta learn football, NDSU is for you!
After watching that play a few times, I am somewhat convinced the plan was to go through the punter whether or not the ball was still there. Maybe not so much as intentional as we are going for broke and if we hit him after the ball is out of there, we will take that chance. 15 yards still kept the ball on the Bison side of the 50 and they just forced a 3 and out. Their defense has been good enough to NOT allow but 10 1st QTR points all year. Calculated risk with a positive outcome for them?
