Dagger Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 At the beginning of year how many people would of thought that the last team eliminated from football playoffs in state would of been UND and not NDSU?? A great season to build on for next Fall. Need to get a little bigger to stop some of those big running backs. Quote

Und246 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 After never having to play a playoff game on the road in 10 years, ndsu found how difficult it is to win on the road. 1 Quote

Expand Ndsu's record at home during the last decade is worse than their road record i believe. I dont think the reason they couldn't move the ball effectively had anything to do with playing the game in Texas vs. Fargo. 2 Quote

Und246 Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 Yes NDSU got beat by a better team which just happened to be at home. I would say in general in playoffs, home teams seem to play better. NDSU should turn down home playoff games in the future if their better on road. Quote

Expand Better teams also typically host playoff games. Obviously you'd prefer to play at home...sleep in your own bed, all that jazz. But...if you can't remotely move the ball, and its not some wild noisy crowd or trash weather...yeah, I got no sympathy. Quote
Fry Bread Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 I thought NDSU was a bit lax on clock management at the end Quote

NDSU should turn down home playoff games in the future if their better on road. Expand As others have said, ndsu has no problem winning on the road, they simply got beat by a better team yesterday. Yes, NDSU almost pulled it off and probably should have frankly. But they were fortunate to even be in the game at the end with the way the offense performed. Embarrassing really. We’ll see what happens this fall, but those of us who have been really paying attention and not just looking at the W/L column have seen a concerning trend since Entz took the reigns. Hopefully he gets control of the team and gets things on the right track, but I’m not bullish on that at this stage and it has nothing to do with not winning another NC. 1 Quote

NDSU has 8 home losses NDSU has 9 road losses NDSU is 1-2 in road playoff games Since NDSU has upwards of 10 home games a year the 9 road losses in much fewer road games is a lot higher percentage wise.

The Sicatoka Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 SHSU showed up with a defense able to handle a power run game. That's a first for them and it was NDSU's undoing. Quote

You should put your pretend narrative to bed, forever. Expand Again, if you’re on the road in the playoffs, you are typically an underdog. correlation doesn’t equal causation. ndsu wouldn’t have won that game at home yesterday either. What narrative are you pushing? That if NDSU wasn’t undefeated/a one loss team in regular season for the last 10 years, they would have had to go on the road and had less national championships? That homefield advantage was earned in the regular season. Before yesterday ndsu had just as many losses at home as they did on the road so let’s not get carried away here. home or away, ndsu has been nearly unbeatable for a decade. Quote
