    Please replace #5 with Carson's last 40sec TD pass to Darrius Shepard against UNI. After that game I did not see a single dry eye in the FargoDome.

    The category is the top 10 playoff games.

    10. 2012 Wofford 14-7: Defense didn't give up a TD and had to stop Wofford three times in the redzone in the second half to preserve the lead
    9. 2010 EWU 31-38 (OT): NDSU had multiple opportunities to put this game away but HE WAS DOWN.
    8. 2015 UNI 23-13: UNI had the lead at the half, then Bruce Anderson returned the opening kickoff for a TD. Also Schaetzy for the safety.
    7. 2011 SHSU 17-6: Defensive struggle (both teams barely cracked 200 yards of offense). SHSU had the lead at the half, but fake punt (Voigtlander) + DJ with the screen + int return (Beck) + int (Pike) = 1st Chipper
    6. 2017 JMU 17-13: About as evenly matched as two teams can get.
    5. 2014 Coastal Carolina 39-32: CC took the lead at the start of the 4th, but on 3rd and 1, Crockett went 45 yards for the winning TD. On CC's last three possessions, the defense held them to 9 yards.
    4. 2014 SDSU 27-24: Carson Wentz to RJ Urzendowski for the winning score with under a minute left.
    3. 2019 JMU 28-20: Goal line stand with a Jimmy Football INT to seal number 8.
    2. 2012 Georgia Southern 23-20: 4th and Goal from the 4... Jensen TD.
    1. 2014 ISU-Red 29-7: Wentz and RJ Urzendowski on that final drive to come from behind and win in the final seconds. Epic.
    JMO but 2017 was more exciting than 2019. JMU had the better team on paper and the whole second half was poor NDSU field position and white knuckles.

    Think about how close a number of games with a play here or there could have easily been loses. After EWU I count 6 of the remaining 9.

    Can neither agree nor disagree, but, and maybe it’s just me, don’t Natty games just have an entirely different feel than other games. Just an exiting, up-tempo feel.

    The QB power run by Wentz against ISUr will forever be one of my favorites, along with the Beck pick and return.

    And just fun that we have so many things/plays/games to choose from.

    Go Bison!!

    This one falls into, as Little Texas would say, “try not to think about what might have been”; many probably overlook that 2009 defending champ Villanova was also on quite a tear as an unseeded team (upsetting #1 seed appy state along the way). Had the Bison best EWU they would have faced Villanova in the semifinals . Being both teams were unseeded, I believe homefield would have come down to a bid at which I believe NDSU would have easily won (Nova’s stadium only seats 12,500)... what might have been? the first home semifinal game in 2010...
    Go Bison.

    Clearly....as a player, you house that ball and are not thinking about that scenario. But its just one of those things that fun to think about.
    I don't know if I want to go down that road. That game/playoff season had to take at least five years off my lifespan in the corporeal world, and arguably, worth it.
    Hail the BISON!!!

    That's what makes the last decade so unbelievable.

    NDSU could have lost any of those games, but didn't.

    The Bison have not been otherworldly, they've been damn good and just know how to win.

    As a Vikings fan, it's quite the contrast. All the bad bounces and bad luck the Vikings have had...with the Bison all that stuff seems to go their way. Damn near every time. It's remarkable.

    Of course, being the most talented team on the field helps stuff go your way, and the Bison have been that for all but a handful of games over the past 10 years.

    Didn't our drive take less than a minute anyway and I don't think we used the timeouts that wisely? I hear what you are saying here. I have to say Wentz's throw to RJ across the middle to start the drive was one of the best throws in program history. It was like a bullet from our ten to the 45.
    If it flies it dies.

    Long for the days of freezing in the south stands of Dacotah Field.
