Top 10 Playoff Playoff Beatdowns (as of end of 2017 season)

[tony]

I'm not sure that NDSU has even delivered 10 playoff curbstompings but however long the list, I think that UNH in 2013 is #1.

• NDSU scored 52 unanswered
• UNH's only drive was at the very end of the game and they had under 200 yards of offense

North Alabama 1985 35-6 (not as close as the score might make it look)
Truman State 1992 42-7 (Simdorn could barely walk and yet the beating was so bad they changed their name)

I'd have to put both Sammy semis up there. They seemed utterly demoralizing.

Coastal Carolina #1 was a waxing.

Sam Houston #4 was also enjoyable.

Sammy Frisco #2. Anything that could go NDSU's way, did. And they earned it. Fire Drill was my favorite.

GSU #1. Don't remember much about the game itself. Just remember the outcome.

Montana 2015. Just dominated.

JSU Finals 1st half. Most dominant first half in a championship game.

SDSU 2016. 36 unanswered points. Coach Eck couldn't find a rabbit hole big enough to hide in after his jubilation from the trick play to score on 4th down.

It's honestly easier to try and remember the close playoff games. There have been so many beatdowns they all start running together.

UNH at least had some drama for the first couple drives where everything was going their way on defense.

#1. Beach Chickens #1 just seemed like a wire to wire ass kicking. Think they had one drive with a couple of long passes, but for a team that came in pumped up over their upset of Montana they were shown to be totally out matched.

#2 Montana felt real similar with the added benefit of the revenge factor. I think Gustoffson threw 4 or 5 picks that game. If it wasn't for the Bunnies at JMU that would look embarrassing.

#3 Last SHSU semifinal. Maybe technically it should be higher than the other two, but by now so many teams have whipped the Bearcats in the playoffs it doesn't feel like something to brag about anymore.

Take the first half of Sam Houston #4 (2017) and combine it with the second half of Sam Houston #3 (2014)... ouch.

A couple from early in the run to add for consideration.

FCS playoff game #1 - RMU 17 good guys 43. It was the beat down we all expected, but somehow everyone's favorite self-declared expert picked against us.

FCS playoff game #2 - The follow up to RMU, a 42-17 beat down in Bozeman when we were supposed to be underdogs again.

Lehigh - Doubters thought Ryan Spadola would tear us up, but he couldn't keep off of Twitter and was suspended before we shutout a team that came in averaging 35ppg and a ton of offense through the air.

I'll liked the 2012 SDSU game (home of the original trick play). SDSU came into that 2nd round game confident because 3 weeks prior they had taken NDSU to the wire in the Fargodome losing by only 3 and were coming off a domination of a Jimmy Garappolo led EIU down in Brookings. What made it all the more satisfying is I think most Bison fans, myself included, were a little nervous about it whether they wanted to admit it or not. That was the first time that the big regionalization debate became hot around here since SDSU was likely the best team of the 8 playing that opening weekend but the NDSU players said after the game that they were happy to see SDSU in their bracket since they wanted to squelch any doubts about the ability of each team in relation to each other after that tight regular season game.

In that game SDSU crossed the NDSU 35 yard line exactly once (which was on their 2nd drive of the game) and never even threatened to score after that and the Bison won 28-3.

The title of this thread suggests to me all time playoff beatdowns, but obviously you are only talking about FCS playoff beatdowns. If DII playoff games were included I would put some of these in as they were much more of a dismantling than some others listed such as Sammy #2 or CC #1 or Sammy in 2014.

Ashland 1986
Augustana 1988
Cal Poly 1990
Indiana (PA) 1990 (natty)
North Alabama 1985 (natty)

2010 Montana State game. At Montana State. That clock could not run fast enough for those bobcats to get off the field. Beat their ass so bad they bought out their trip to Fargo. I never seen a team fold that bad. No one wanted to tackle DJ at the end of the game. They just watched him take it to the house.

42-17 on the road with a Jose Mohler int.
