    Default NDSU's Best Goal Line Stands

    As much as I love goal-line stands, I don't have much of a memory about particular ones.

    That said, the goal line stand against SIU on Saturday has to be one of the best. SIU had 1st and goal from the 5 and one of the best runners in the FCS. Our defense had given up 58 yards on 5 straight SIU carries - maybe they were getting tired or (more probably) maybe they were playing pass defense because it was a whole different defense at the 5. Heck, I could loop that last stop on Javon Williams (Hankey low and Jimmy Football cleaning up the play) for an hour before getting (temporarily) tired of it.

    The only other one I have a pretty good memory of was the one against Portland State in the 1988 Championship game (1st and goal at the 2) - even so I can't remember who made the stops, just that it seemed like they tried to run the QB wide on the last attempt (it might have even tried an option play.) Let's just say that if I had to pick from that QB and any QB NDSU has had over the last 50 seasons, he'd have been my last pick for that kind of play. And running an option or option-like play against the 1988 Bison who practiced against it every day? Genius!

    So what other goal line stands do you people remember?

    Wasn't there one in the recent playoff run where Leevon Perry made a tackle on 4th and goal to stop a score. Can't remember the details.

    I can't remember if it was the first Georgia Southern game or the 2nd, but I believe there was a huge 4th and goal late in whichever game where we stuffed the QB on an option play. My memory sucks regarding most of the details and players involved but it was the South endzone.
    I'd wreck your Momma to win.

    Apparently there were a couple in the Furman playoff win in 2013, one of them on Furman's opening drive. Kolpack wrote an article about it.

    You're right, tony, we clearly have a lack of goal-line stands and it should be added to the "weakest point on the team" thread.

    That sounds right. Also, this thread needs video highlights.

    Not a goal line stand but a 4 down stand, against Richmond when DeLuca hit the QB who was trying to jump over the line.

    Yep. Had the players completely wrong, but that's the one I was thinking of.
