You can’t pick somebody up and body slam them. Grabbing a leg is not a penalty.

How about lifting someone's leg up until they fall over? He didn't just 'grab his leg'.

Edit to add: Focus on Maag's feet only. Tell me how that happens without being lifted off the ground?

Focusing on his feet, it appears he is lifted because he is trying to run away.

I suppose one can look at it in different ways, because when I saw it in live time I thought it was a personal foul, then when I watched the replay, I interpreted it that the Bison player didn't think Maag was down.  Regardless, I don't think a play like that swings momentum so UND magically stays in a game where they were dominated by the Bison. 

[Siouxperfan7]

Should a flag have been thrown?  Maybe not.  But once it was thrown, it should have remained a penalty.  Unless this play was reviewed.  Can't remember.  There were like 30 that day!

LOL. Okay. The DB started in a crouching position, hung on to his leg as he stood up, then actually left his feet a little bit as he pulled Maag's left leg upward. Maag's knee is almost head high when his right hand finally releases. He was just 'grabbing his leg', though. 

Kent Hrbeck would love this argument.

The play was over. It's clearly roughing.

Whatever. As many have said, it doesn't change the outcome. It's just more fun to talk about this instead of reading the same people bitch about the same things over and over.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As a Braves fan, this brings up bad memories.

I'm sorry for you.
Did you lose a bet?
Were you dropped as a child?

Poor little 6’4” 210lb Maag getting bullied by big bad 5’10” 187lb Eubanks.

Like I said, soft. Our team has no gravel in their guts. Who are the guys on our team that scare the opponent? Who sets the tone? NDSU is full of guys that play with an edge, it’s their brand. They love it. We have nice guys. 

[SiouxFan100]

I could see that it was possible that the defense wasn’t sure Maag was called down.

Yes, yes. You've made it clear how you feel about Maag. Too white, and all.

Maag and Bo aren’t too white. Our wr room certainly is though. I like Maag, really good player. Just wish he wasn’t soft. I wish the team wasn’t soft in general.

Okay.

I just wish we could discuss one specific play without it leading to a bitch-fest about the whole team. Especially when that specific play could have led to a bitch-fest about the Bison. LOL. 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Judge I interned for during law school once told me, "If you ever see someone write 'clearly', it almost certainly isn't clear."

As a former college lineman decades ago, I personally saw nothing wrong. Magg’s movement initially looked running and the player grabbed longer because of movement and momentum made it looked worse in my opinion. 
 

This come from a guy who hates DB’s because they talk crap or annoy by kneeing your head as you try to get off the ground from a cut block.  They knew we linemen rarely can get revenge in a game.
 

Linebackers and defensive line to me had more respect for each other during a game, because during the course of the game there are opportunities to settle feuds. 

As to that Happy Thanks Giving and beat Weber on Saturday!

^^^what about punters and their hard nosed style??

Clearly roughing…It’s anything but clear, it’s grey area, which is why you have a split of how people are seeing it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

Huh?

Shouldn't you be busy still trying to make "THE HAWKS NEST!!!!" catch on?

[F'n Hawks]

Not every post from the Bison guys on here is trolling. Sometimes they do, but there are times they are adding to the discussion.

I’ve been dreaming of switching to a 4-3 for years now, especially because I don’t agree with the body types our staff employs in our system.

It would require a very different recruiting philosophy. Is it easier to get LB's here or DL's? Looking at our roster, I'd say the LB's are better than the DL's. Naturally that's out of necessity for the 3-4, but can UND get those hogs on the D?

Ok now I remember this play. Call me a homer here, but I see this as the DB not thinking Maag was down, which it appears he actually wasn’t. Maag reacted as a player who wasn’t giving himself up when he popped up, the DB interpreted him popping up as him trying to continue running and finished the tackle. I don’t see any issue here.

If anything to complain about was that the official blew the play down even though Maag wasn’t down. Not sure if the tackle was after the whistle or not so not going to complain about it.

Look at our regional piers, they have no problem finding DL bodies for their 4-3.

Our LB are not better than our DL
