My favorite thing about the Bison is they’re such a fine tuned machine, usually. No doubt coach leaving screwed them up a bit, but they’re so good they still won.
I wish the audience could have seen Bruce at his best, and KState fans could see just how disciplined this team is.
Maybe Eastern deserves more credit than I’m giving but that fake field goal was too big of an example of shit that just doesn’t happen to NDSU.
Unless I'm forgetting something, I believe that NDSU went the entire season without a gadget play. I think last year as well.
Never the less, ahead of it, more people were thinking/saying go for it than not.
Y not kick it, it was a chip shot to go up 3 scores with 4 minutes left. Would have put the game away. Cant blame a missed tg from there on a bad coaching decision since he missed

Indeed. Nearly extra point distance.
That's why teams kick more extra points than going for 2....Not a lot of difference in the strategy that occurred on the missed FG.

I think it was based on the fact Peterson has never been solid.

If if was from 50 I agree but it was a chip shot. He had a bad year last season and then a great championship game. Made a game winner in Iowa too. He has made big kicks but missed plenty but you cant assume he misses that one

Yup....
Pederson was 83/85 for the season on PAT kicks. (20 yards)
The missed FG was from 23.
And yes....it was the first and only game on grass this season....but still.....83/85. (including 3/3 today)
