[dewey]

Big pass to Watson at the 2. Juggling catch as the defensive back fell down.

Dewey

[TheKingpin28]

Christian Watson damn near missed the wide open catch. Sucks he fell down at the 2.

[dewey]

Touchdown Easton Stick on the sneak.

14-7 NDSU

Dewey

[Winterborn]

Christian Watson damn near missed the wide open catch. Sucks he fell down at the 2.End result was the same. 😁

[TheKingpin28]

End result was the same. 

He still should have had 6. I'm glad they scored, but they will need someone with hands for next year when Darius is gone.

[TheKingpin28]

Where the hell is the NDSU defense?

[Lorne_Malvo]

EWU will tear NDSUs secondary to pieces.

[dewey]

A quick slant for a 59 yard touchdown for SIU.

Meh. One big play.

I am not concerned.

Same with STs. They should not have 14 points against this team.

[TheKingpin28]

Targeting?

[dewey]

A long touchdown from Stick to Jenson.

Flag down....against SIU. Touchdown stands.

Dewey

[dewey]

Two big plays so far.

True. I meant one big play against the defense.

Can SIU do that enough to stay close...I doubt it.

Dewey

[Drblankstare]

I hope SIU keeps it fairly close, I want to see NDSU’s offense get into some Big Sky type **** today.

[skinny_uncle]

NDSU 21 SIU 14 in case anyone lost track.

[Lorne_Malvo]

Headbutt. What a pos.

[Professor Chaos]

I want to shake Nick Hill's hand. Didn't even wait for the official call to send his cheap shotting player off the field.

Respect!

Dewey
With injuries, SIU has more second and third stringers playing than starters on D. No way they can stop Stick and company.

[dewey]

A flying head butt by SIU #25. He is gone. As he should be.

Dewey

[skinny_uncle]

Salukis fumble Jeez.

[TheKingpin28]

I want to shake Nick Hill's hand. Didn't even wait for the official call to send his cheap shotting player off the field.

Respect!

We all know how Lennon would have reacted.

I'm glad Hill told him to leave. Who the hell headbutts another player?

He must have been watching some WWE with the flying head butt.

Still first quarter.

Touchdown from Stick to Ellefson.

28-14 621 to go 1st quarter.

Dewey

[Drblankstare]

Someone must have told Easton his numbers weren’t gaudy enough to win the Payton.

[TheKingpin28]

He must have been watching some WWE with the flying head butt.

Dewey

Did he think he could John Cena it? xlolx

[Winterborn]

Interception!

[Lorne_Malvo]

Heck of a pick.

[dewey]

Nice pick by Grimsley. Left foot down. Bison ball.

Dewey

[skinny_uncle]

DeSomer throws the INT.
Could be turning into a Murphy's Law game for the Dawgs.

[IBleedYellow]

Holy **** we have a chance to put 35 points in the first?

Uhh. What.

A jet sweep to the fullback? Heck yeah.

Robbins looks good doing it.

4th down for the Bison at the SIU 2.

Didnt make it.

Dewey

[POD Knows]

Where those spots good. We are basically right across from the play and they looked suspect

[skinny_uncle]

Stick with a TD pass.
NDSU 35 SIU 14

[TheKingpin28]

Wow. Stick is playing for the Payton.

[dewey]

Touchdown Bison! Stick to Shepherd.

Um how is anyone leaving Shepherd wide open?

Dewey

[Winterborn]

Where those spots good. We are basically right across from the play and they looked suspectAgree. From the review they looked a bit short.

[Lorne_Malvo]

Easton Stick: 8-9 for 213 yards and a passer rating of 397.7 so far today.

[dewey]

3rd and 1 SIU just missed on big pass. Then a roughing the passer on Marlette.

Dumb mistake by Marlette.

Dewey

[skinny_uncle]

DeSomer throws another INT.
xeyebrowx

[dewey]

The pass goes through the tight ends hands and falls right into Grimsley's hands.

Dewey

[dewey]

Stick is looking great.

Dewey

[skinny_uncle]

Patterson returns the favor with a pick.

[Drblankstare]

That was just a damn good play by the SIU safety

[dewey]

Stick is looking great.

Dewey

Then he throws a pick on the very next throw.

Dewey

[Bison56]

Dewey

Nice job you jinx :D

[dewey]

How did that SIU punt not get blocked?

It seemed like NDSU had that one for sure.

Dewey

[Drblankstare]

Jesus KVLY show us replays!

[dewey]

Nice job you jinx :D

I literally just hit submit and Stick throws the pick.

Dewey

[dewey]

Jesus KVLY show us replays!

Yeah no kidding. I wonder why they don't.

Dewey

[Lorne_Malvo]

3rd and 17 draw... Coach K has hit foot off the gas already. SIU calls a timeout.

[AmsterBison]

SIU reminds me of USD... their combination of hurry-up offense, turnovers, and lack of defense means NDSU has almost 400 yards of offense in the first half.

[BisonTru]

3rd and 17 draw... Coach K has hit foot off the gas already. SIU calls a timeout.

A draw is a pretty common 3rd and long call considering the defense is usually defending the deep pass pretty hard.

Agreed. When they are up by 21 why do anything risky.

SIU has no corners. Its wide open all day long, but you probably didnt know that.

[TheKingpin28]

I'd like to see Hotchkiss and Trey get some reps this game as they will both need them. That includes throwing the ball.

[dewey]

Touchdown Bruce Anderson!

42-14 Bison 1035 to go 3rd quarter.

Dewey

[skinny_uncle]

Bison score first to start the second half. Thinking I should go take a nap and rest up for the basketball game tonight.

[skinny_uncle]

The Saluki secondary is all second and third stringers at this point with all their injuries. Saw this coming.

[skinny_uncle]

Bad snap on a punt leads to a safety. Concede and let's go home.

[dewey]

51-14 NDSU 848 to go 3rd quarter.

Pull the starters.

[TheKingpin28]

Wow, Gellner straight up went dumb on us with saying the winner of JSU/KSU gets a Top 8 seed. This is a joke. If KSU wins, they stay T8. If they lose, they fall out and JSU still plays next weekend.

I think the committee gives JSU gets a seed with a win.

I am not saying they should.

Dewey

[dewey]

Why in the blue hell is Stick still in the game?

Get him and the rest of the starters out of the game.

Dewey

[dewey]

Stick exits the game to a good ovation. 45-3 as a starting QB

Hotchkiss in.

Dewey

Should JSU win, this is how I see it breaking out

1: NDSU
2: EWU
3: WSU
4: SDSU
5: UC-Davis
6: Colgate/JMU/Maine
7: Colgate/JMU/Maine
8: Colgate/JMU/Maine

Hard to believe the seeds could be:

3 Big Sky
2 MVFC
2 CAA
1 Patriot

I just don't see JSU deserving a seed with their schedule.

[TheKingpin28]

I can't believe we have seen Easton win 45 games. Some schools are floored when they get to see their starter play 40+ games and we are beyond blessed to see ours go back to back and win 40+ games.

[TheKingpin28]

First 60+ point game today this season for the Bison.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Some thoughts after this game:

Hats off to the 24 seniors on this team. Could be the best class or right there with the '13 class as the best ever.
Great opening TD by SIU. Their players were fired up by then reality set in.
663 total yards for the Bison and that was kind. Could have been a lot worse.
SIU has some work to do. I'm sure AD Kill will give Coach Hill time to right the ship in Carbondale.
Easton Stick is a stud and is the best QB in the FCS.
NDSU is RB U and all of them are good.
11-0...what I thought at the beginning of the year....now 15-0 is a definitely possibility.

Bring on the playoffs!!

The depth NDSU has in virtually all positions (except WR) is unbelievable.
Great O game plan by NDSU, they knew they were weak in the secondary and completed exposed them
Hate our special teams on kick off returns and coverage. We need a game breaker returning kicks, we don't have that.
Stick is the most "money" QB in FCS, I haven't seen every decent QB but there is nobody in the MVFC I would trade him for.
NDSU is very vulnerable to a team that throws the ball well and gets the ball out quick. Quick slants have been a problem all year
We have 5 RB's that would start on every other team in the MVFC
We have no WR's, outside of Shepard, that would see the field for any other team in the MVFC
We have studs at TE, keep using them
The sweep with the FB today was a completely awesome play, we are seeing something completely different in every game, we will complain about the TE's not getting enough balls and then they get multiple passes and TD's. I am officially done questioning the O strategy.

NDSU has a really good team this year, not perfect, but pretty ****ing good.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

That SIU pass play was a great call at the right time. The safeties cheated down and the WR just beat #9, hats off to SIU.

Compared to last year, the Bison do give up more passing yards but I think it is a product of having a very good pass rush and run stopping ability. The Bison still give up way less than 300 yards/game and only 11 points/game and a lot of those stats are skewed this year with garbage time scores and chunks of yards gained against the back ups.

Plus with SIU, the Bison haven't played them in 3 years. SIU had some wrinkles yesterday. Many teams have used screens, bubble screens and quick passes to try and negate the great pass rush.

IMO, the only team that will beat the Bison this year is themselves. If they lay an egg at the wrong time against a team like SDSU then they can lose.
