A couple of notes about Eastern Washington.
1) I was impressed that they didn't quit. The 10 min drive could be demoralizing, but they kept fighting.
2) I thought their offensive line held up really well. They seemed to keep their qb fairly clean. Granted, we had a fairly controlled pass rush because the QB was elusive, but I thought they played well.
3) They did a decent job on defense, making adjustments to our running game. I came into the game expecting huge gaping holes. I don't think Dunn made it to 100 yards, so they tightened things down a bit.

Ewu’s defense put on one of, if not their best performances of the season yesterday. I thought the offense could bully them.

The problem with the field goal was the angle. At the 5 yard line on the right hashmark is a tough field goal attempt. We won and that is all that manners

There are always some d-bag folks out there, but all of EWU fans we encountered were really pleasant folks (before the game and after). After the game, EWU folks were congratulating us fans, high-fives for people headed down to the field, taking photos with Bison fans (admittedly that part was a bit weird), etc. There was one unexceptional guy that started the game by flipping us off as the cheering and yelling started (we were behind the EWU allotment area) but he quickly settled down. Sorry that you had the privilege of encountering the insufferable folks.
That trick play on the FG was epic (unfortunately it worked) and essentially kept EWU in the game. From the stands everyone was debating what happened and if it was legal (it was). The replays shown in the stadium did not shed much light on the play. Looking at it later online, the play was executed perfectly to the point the shovel pass sync'd with the kicker's leg movement.
The officiating crew did a good job in my opinion. They let the teams play. Yeah, there probably some holding calls not made but that went both ways. The only call I saw that seemed wrong (in person directly in front of me, at full speed, by a stands fan) was the offensive pass interference against NDSU. It will probably be there when I get around to watching the game again on TV.
Overall, that was a good game to attend and, of course, the good guys won.
Hail the Bison.
Thank you seniors.
Thank you Klieman- have questioned some of the in game management but that is just one component of coaching and one of the few we see as fans.
His team management, recruiting, and relationship building appear phenomenal. Guy does what he says. He has the ability to bring in really good people around him, and now the dollars to support it. Guessing he is aware of some of his deficits and will bring in people to shore that up.
He did a lot in Fargo filling new staff right off and made adjustments with staff while here.
Once a Bison. Best wishes at KState. I think he will do very well.
See you in 2023 Coach K. (Speculation).
