Ballgame. Marker. Bison go DOWN.

I saw somewhere that this is National Bison Day, none the less, the rock stays home.

If not for the refs, that Jacks team was about 30 points better than that Bison team today. That game should have been a blowout and both NDSU touchdown drives were the direct results of bull**** penalties that extended both drives after would-be stops

Man we only scored 3 point in the second half need to do better than that going forward.

so much this, why does the playcalling from Eck go to pot at certain points. Ridiculous…should’ve scored at least 35-41 points today.

I think a big part of that is that our offense wasn’t on the field as much the second half, due to extended NDSu drives. The pkycalling we did have was pretty conservative, and we backed ourselves up with negative plays or false starts a couple times. This team is one that just isn’t goof if they get off schedule. Combo of factors, but I think the NDSU T.O.P. in the second half had a big part in it.

That last drive/TD was a total gift by the Bison to the Jacks. The Bison just don't do that kind of thing.

Entz is 1-2 against Stig, and if Jacks hadn't tossed the INT in 2019, trick plays like having WIlliams pass in 2019 (which resulted in Jacks' INT) could've had him 0-3.

[jakejc795]

I would have taken the 3 but what in the world. A snap THROUGH THE LEGS of Oladokun to Strong, who then throws to Kraft. Unreal

I was amazed at the amount of time Strong had to duck down, rise up, and toss it.

[jakejc795]

That can't be forward progress. Sproles reestablished himself TWICE on separate hits. Just terrible.

Perhaps the most baffingly infurating officiating decision during the game, followed closely by skewed PI calls by the Head Linesman. Interesting sidenote, the ref and Head Linesman also officiated Bison-UNI game, which featured a 3-1 Panther:Bison penalty ratio.

Tell me about it.

I had to sit next to three drunk Bison fans instead of having Shania Twain, Keri Russell, and Diane Lane to my left

Seriously though, Valley results played out how Jacks needed, with both Panthers and Salukis losing as well

The "Ag. Smack" on videoboard during halftime was that SD is #1 in Bison production (which is delicious), so feel free to enjoy a nice burger or stew before Bison Day ends.

Their second-to-last series, which featured the "late hit" by Bock and "PI" by Gardner had me apoplectic, given the similarity to earlier plays with non-calls against Bison defenders.

I hate to call out the HL, but I believe he threw both flags against Jacks and left them in the ol' pocket against Bison

Marker is home where it belongs. Those were two very good teams on the field today. State was more than competent early, and the defense kept the hairy cows on a slow pace. SDSU play calling was creative. NDSU was uncharacteristically poor in execution with several false start/delay of game/offsides penalties. Fun game to watch with a great crowd in the stands. A bit of a nail biter at the end as would be expected with these two teams. Also, kudos to the flyover pilots, perfect timing.
