Dakota Bowl XXXI (2023)

[ByeSonBusiness]

North Prairie wins on a goal line stand with time running out, 16-8. They ran the ball almost 50 times and passed it a couple times too.

Schumacher from South Border is a helluva player (among others.) Those were two hardnosed teams.

NDSU recruit and North Prairie player, Nate Tastad, was named player of the year. His younger brother had a big play or two too.

That's very competitive and low scoring for 9 man football

Napoleon does very good sausage too

Haugo is gonna to have to learn how to back pedal and let the runner roll him before he sees the field at NDSU. He has a tendency to hit low with his shoulder, wrap up and run through his tackles.

Nice to see the yard lines only have one long bend in them instead of multiple S curves like before.

Hell of an ending. Had to listen on the radio. Here is what I heard -- South Border drove inside the 5, took their final timeout with 10-15 seconds left, QB kept the ball on the next play and was stopped by NDSU stud recruit Nate Tastad, and then South Border could not get reset for the spike to stop the clock.

South Border QB is a sophomore, heck of a job by them this year. Credit to North Prairie (and both teams) for playing hard fought defense. Between the two teams, I think they averaged about 90 points per game this year.

I looked at Trinity's roster and if they have maybe two or three guys who weigh over 200 lbs so that's a tough matchup.

I wonder what kind of S/OLB prospect Jake Starcevic is? I'm guessing he'll be a pretty sought-after recruit.

Starcevic should be getting at least D-II offers for football. Kindred basketball this winter will probably be starting 5 athletes going on to play a D-I or D-II sport.

That was by far the best I've seen the north prairie defense play. Our freshman Jonathan Mears had 2 picks and a huge first down catch on the second td drive. He's cooler then his uncle Ryan Mears now.

My 7 year old rushed the field with his best friend and got in trouble. Lolz. Just like his old man. Hopefully unbison sees this
I make lakes rushing the field look like a hobo in Frisco eh

I bet your 7 year old was awesome…. Way better then lakes as 7 year old wasn’t doing it to be seen

Exciting to see "young people" in the FARGODOME. Many from out of town. I hope their impression of the FARGODOME is a good one and it convinces them to attend NDSU when their times comes.
