MSU Post Game Thoughts & Discussion

[SomeBeach]

Just watched a replay of Watson's rushing TD and noticed that one of the officials was apparently trampled by the Herd after they celebrated and headed for the sideline. Anyone that was at the game see exactly what happened there?

It is going to be fun to watch Lance and Watson for the next couple years. And also in three weeks!

Looked to me like as the ball was being handed back to the official, the momentum of the Bison player knocked the official over. Two other Bison quickly helped the official up. No harm, no foul.

MSU was physically and athletically outmatched I sit behind their bench and after the score to go up 22-7 they were deflated it was clear they knew they couldn't come back

Awesome game

It was obvious when they chose to run up the middle and walk off the field with 38 seconds left in the first half. I knew it was over right then.

I thought the OVC officiating crew performed well. Outside of the strange coin flip rearrangement I had no complaints.

Incorrect. If you check out Bobcatnation NDSU holds every single play. Or maybe they don’t know what a pancake block is or physical play in the trenches.

The fact that the Bison hold and it is ignored buy the refs is confirmed by the fans of every team we beat.

If (when) NDSU defeats JMU in the championship in three weeks, part of the credit should go to the Redbirds (ILLinois State).

Looks like the Bison offense figured out something from the Redbird to the Bobcats game. Without that 9-point offensive mushpie against the Reds, would Roehl and all the offensive coaches have had a brainstorming session to ask "how do we get an offense going when a team is stopping us?" Probably not. And NDSU would then perhaps have ridden into Frisco being smug and overconfident, and then ridden into the 3rd quarter of the game bewildered as to why they can't anything going against the JMU defense. Bewildered meaning, not a clue on how to get creative and fix it.

I saw an Olympic women's volleyball match a few years ago - it may have been Brazil vs. USA - where it was a tight game and the USA's setter and power hitter kept doing the same strategy over and over again - a set to the power hitter (the USA's best player), who then tried to smash it past the tall Brazilian front line. It didn't work, but the USA kept doing it - the thinking it seemed was "if we just smash the ball a little harder we'll turn this around". Creative, throw the other team off, plays weren't used. Brazil won the match.

This is an iron law of football fandom.

You can actually express it mathematically.

Complaining about holding calls ∝ 1/knowledge about football

Well then it should be a good game in Frisco cause it looks like JMU holds on every play as well..

Watson was just on a different level than anyone else yesterday. Did you see him run down Williams on W’s long TD catch? He blew by everyone and put a small chip on a trailing defender (that he ran right by). Crazy fast yesterday.

When he got into the open on the jet sweep he was nearly covering 5 yards with each stride. Pure God given abilities. Going to be fun watching him terrorize secondaries for the next two years. We've had a lot of really good receivers over the years, but he has speed none of the others have had.

To be honest........ I knew that before the game started.
