problem with your assessement is we seem to miss more fg's than we make and it seems like we haven't even tried a fg (haven't really had to tho) in a few games iirc but soon or later one will be required and i for one will be holding by breath even on a 30 yarder....

special teams might have put the dagger in ndac on that return...ndac was rattled ten seconds into the game.... but you keep doing you you f'n !@#!$!.  bag

Easy to say since we have attempted 1 and missed it. There have been many misses to deflate our momentum but your hatred for Bubba ball and Kostich is obvious. I would think today would bring out some positivity, enjoy the rest of the 24 hours and on to UNI.

Yep. Celebrate tonight, then get ready for UNI. Like I said, now the belief is there. 

Congratulated Danny in the field. He response….”Got a big game to get ready for next week.”  Gotta love coaches like that!!

I said there have been plenty of misses and I don’t disagree. I am not one to post all day through the games but I posted a few. Just saying enjoy the big win and tomorrow we can move on. 

[shep]

I couldn't post much during the game as I was too busy cheering a lot of great plays and great players.

 

And drinking beer.

so who stood out on the o-line today?

The whole line I thought. Very good. They did a big dinner at the moo on Friday 

[farce poobah]

So….

NDSU is the 4th best football team in the Dakotas.

Sloppiest softest NDSU team in over a decade

I don’t agree or disagree. But the first time the herd ventured up north in D1 era they got their ass’s handed to them

That play was been in the books for years...  Mussman used to run it once or twice a year.

Still a beautiful play.

UND has not beat NDSU since I was in Elementary. I am now 30. What a very memorable day!

Crazy! I was a freshman at UND and playing in the band. We actually moved over to the NDSU side and were sitting with their band during OT when we won. What an experience as an 18 year old kid. 

 

[siouxfan512]

I remember that same play a few years ago, but it was at mid field. A pitch from Q to Skokna for big yardage.

 

Also, the USD game just got bigger. That will be fun!

FWIW, we looked like the Las Vegas Raiders with the silver helmets and black uniforms.

[Irish]

It's been a long time since I have seen our lines bully the Bison - but we definitely saw that today.  Great execution.  Well done.  Keep up the good work. 

[Nodak78]

Tomorrow we are on to UNI.  It is going to be a tough game.

[UND1983]

We happy now?  I am

Shutting up their arrogant, pompous fan base felt good.  #sorrynotsorry

"No. 6 North Dakota State will make a 181st straight appearance in the national media poll on Monday, but will a run of 173 in a row in the top 10 continue after the 49-24 loss to No. 15 North Dakota?

Last time Bison outside top 10: No. 11 on Sept. 5, 2011.

Why was it so easy to score points today?

keep it going....once again....if a game comes down to a 35 yd fg to win a game at the buzzer how confident are you it's going thru....

baby steps

I guess we just disagree on where the special teams coach makes a difference.  

I was place kicker for UND for 3 years.  The special teams coach had zero impact on whether or not I made a fg/pat other than choosing the holder and snapper - which was critical.  Recruiting didn't factor in either as I was a walk on and beat out 3 different recruited kickers win and keep the job. 

Where they do affect the game is with designing and teaching schemes for protecting for kicks and punts, kick and punt coverage, kick and punt returns and punt block.   Today we had game changing plays with a kick return and punt block.  We also covered kicks and punts well so the special teams coach had a great day.

Even on the biggest W in decades, you apprise us of the things we should worry about. Well done, sir, well done. You keep doing you. 

I mean yeah the win is nice....but his question is likely what the coaches were asking themselves all game long until the end when the lead was comfortable.

They were not asking that question.  They kept looking for ways to win.  They coached up the players to believe.  The Bison are in trouble.  SDSU will destroy them.

[Cratter]

I was surprised just how easily UND was able to run the ball. And it was obvious there was two key plays that lead to the win and thr blowout.

1) kickoff TD.

2) second half interception return.

Big win for the program.

Makes a person wonder if NDSU would have had their current run if they had to play UND more in the Alerus during it....add another L to their loss column every other year...which likely means no home field for them throughout the playoffs....
