JMU had a 4th and 4 in the third after a Robbie pick and we had momentum again. Trotted Cam out for a 50 yard field goal instead of going for the kill. Put Cam in a bad position.
CORRECTIONS TO THE POST ABOVE:
It was 4th down and 5 yards to go. (actually a long 5)
The field goal attempt was from 49 yards (ball was kicked from the JMU 39).
In that entire game, there was not a situation where NDSU had less than 2 yards to get a first down and were stopped. Not one. That drive alone, we were 4/4 on first down conversations with 2 yards or less. Defensive line all had their hands on their hips. They were fucking done.
EWU did not have the ability to stop NDSU in a short yardage situation.
Given the shakiness of Cam and ability for EWU to score, it was the wrong call.
Contradicting yourself here. Because of the ability for EWU to score, the field goal was the absolute right call. As many have pointed out, they weren't getting three more possessions, maybe two, not three.

Really too bad that this year’s team didn’t get a game against a ranked FBS. Yes the writer is underestimating 2018 NDSU. Both Oklahoma and Norte Dame would be fighting for their lives. I would pick NDSU in a one game deal over most of the top25 at their house.
did they even do a gigapixle photo this year? Didn't see anything on the field for it.
Haven't received an email for one of those yet but I did get an email from Blakeway Productions for ordering a panoramic print of the stadium at game time.
