That offside call on ambrosius was the dagger looking back. What a change in fortune that penalty turned out to be. That's why football is great, have to be disciplined at all times.

We are all very aware of this here.

My brother was in Fargo at a Fargo North basketball game.  Said the place went silent after the fb game was final.

My son is at the Betty for the UND basketball game and there was a roar when the game ended even though there was no announcement.

NDSU was missing that "it" that they've had the last 5 years. I still thought they were about to pull it out before that FG though.

Absolutely agree with you though. Need to get a few more dynamic playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. When the offense needed big plays they really didn't have their go to guys like in years past.

Hardly an unsuccessful season for the boys and the run had to stop at some point. It's good for FCS football to have other teams emerge. JMU had some serious talent on the field tonight. Aggressive athletic defense and with a middle linebacker with a name like gage steele, NDSU's fate was sealed the day that kid was born. That's a badass name for a middle linebacker

I guess I should have put "discipline" in bold...it ended our season.  That's all I meant.

Similar to us no deep threat on o. It makes all the difference in the world.

Gotcha, makes more sense now.

An unbelievable run has come to an end.  Hats off to NDSU on a run that will never be duplicated.

Yep. Never see a run like that again. Simply got beat by a better team.

Was Wentz part of the "it" factor the last couple of years.  I didn't realize how good he was until the draft talk started last year.

Gage Steele. I bet his middle name is juggernaut. Epic name

He was. Clearly he is an all time great QB for an FCS team, but it deeper than that.

I've said this since 2013, but I think polisek is outmatched as a coordinator. After Vigen left I starting seeing his odd play calling. Getting tunnel vision at times, his lack of ability to put his playmakers in positions to thrive. But with Carson being at QB I think he masked some of the challenges polisek had. Tonight, our guys looked lost in the 2 minute drill, we would have great success with certain packages and then comepletely abandon them on the next series. Clearly, offensive coordinator is a tough job, but I think his play calling leaves a lot to be desired and that has been the biggest change that I've seen these last few years.

Is there a law I'm unaware of that requires both ND schools to question the OC's play calling.

Congrats to SU. Unprecedented streak.

I think it's more of a football rule in general.

Not just him. Half their roster in 2013 was cold blooded killers. 

[Godsmack]

Did the Bison play well?

 

[Cratter]

Well for the first time in five years I wont have a team in the championship to cheer for....the team playing the Bison.

They didn't play bad. JMU was just better.

I did, at the Force game.  Caught the highlight on my phone and crapped my pants.

What I saw- Take out the false starts (home field) and if JMU had their starting RT this game would not have been close.

Having #68 on their roster automatically takes away 6 points of offense from their team. Having him play takes away 21. He would have a madden ranking of 4. A 0 for awareness.

Glad to see the Bison finally lose....but you have to tip your cap to them; a helluva streak comes to a close after absolutely dominating this division for 5 years.

[UND-FB-FAN]

Great that NDSU football lost tonight -- was fun watching the NDSU game end at the basketball game.

Too bad that the UND basketball team had to choke away a game against NDSU. It takes away some of the excitement from tonight.  

[Sioux>Bison]

So what does the town of Frisco think of this. I have a feeling a ton of Hotel rooms were just cancelled. Will Frisco be boom or bust depending if the Bison make the championship?
