Bison

Helluva game. Nail biter.

Holy hell what a game. I thought for sure they were gonna score after that fake punt. Bison D line played well when they needed them most.

 

[Ponyroper]

One of the better games I have seen them play. JMU is a tough bunch of great athletes.

 

[Lapper]

Their special steams tried really hard to lose that game. Defense won that one for them. They came up huge time and time again!

 

[fj40]

I thought the penalties were gonna be our downfall.

 

[Bed Wetter]

Plenty of mistakes by both teams. The difference was that NDSU capitalized on mistakes much more than JMU was able to.

Defense wins Championships!

I'm pretty sure I niw have a heart condition, good thing my wife works with good cardiologists.

Didn't think the Bison O played well at all today. JM's receivers dropped so many passes that should have been caught.
How in the heck none of the Bison coaches were expecting a fake punt with only 4 minutes remaining is baffling to me.
The Bison D definitely won that game for us. They played to win for sure.

Yep getting fooled by that fake punt was the dumbest mistake all year, maybe in the last 10 years. Winning makes those not matter so much at least. Man those cocky sons of guns from JMU hit like hell though. I was just that much sweeter to get the win after watching those guys cock off when they were down 14 pts.

Should have been in the stands. Mostly very good fans and very fun banter in our area anyways. Those cocky ones really showed poorly but so many were very courteous all the way through and I am sure the same can be said about NDSU. Great hard fought defensive game on both sides

Hit the road a bit ago. Looking at temps back home I'm thinking a little ice fishing tomorrow to finish off my vacation

Game is up on YouTube (for now) if anyone missed it. ESPN coverage was not good. Radio play by play from the local guys was AWESOME.

How far south do you have to go to run out of the snow?

I think Nebraska somewhere, coming down that was my sleep stretch so will have to watch on the way home

You napped out right away. Used to do that with my first born to get her to fall asleep when she had colic .

More snow to the south than ND has?

It could be said that the O wasn't good today but let's think about that for a second. Time of possession was big in favor of the Bison. While the Bison didn't dominate like in a lot of games this year that jMU defense was very good and fast. Time of possession becomes huge against a team that was averaging more than 40 ppg. Much was said about the defensive backs of JMU prior to the game. Yes, they were pretty good, but they were either confused or just didn't think they could be beat when they made at least one play where they blew a coverage they paid dearly for that mistake.

Add in a defense that was so solid all game long. JMU had several possessions with good field position and got very little with them. Did JMU drop some passes. Yup. Perhaps it was because they were so used to running the route they wanted and the QB was so used to sitting and taking his time to find an open receiver and all of a sudden their timing is completely thrown off. QB has to get rid of the ball almost immediately and receivers aren't used to seeing the ball in the air that quick. Timing between QB's and receivers is a huge part of the passing game.

Overall, the win was a team effort. If one part made a mistake, another part took up the slack. Stick was named the MVP, he had a good game against a very good defense. It is also very easy to say the defense should have been the MVP, can't argue but it seems like the majority of the time an offensive player is named the MVP. Watching Stick in many interviews I'm pretty sure he's thanking his teammates for the award he received.

Overall it was a great Bison Win. And I for one am very pleased with the victory and can easily overlook the few plays that didn't go exactly like I would have drawn them out. Can't wait for next year. GO BISON

Nobody in the plains has much for snow.
