[Gil Dobie]

Holy shit NDSU is shitting the bed.

We have had that bad defense all year. Not surprised.

[dal4018]

UIW with the upset! 56-42

UIW 16-0

[dal4018]

Mathis dropped a well thrown ball!!!!

[Mvemjsunpx]

A series of errors by both sides leads to a Bison field goal.

16-3 UIW, 2:15 1Q

Bison lineman grabbed someone

I'm not counting NDSU out yet. I've seen WAY too many FCS games look awful for teams, only for them to get their feet under them and come back and win it.

[BDKJMU]

1st qtr stats Word 197 yds offense, NDSU 10.

bizumb getting out-bizumbed by a more physical team.

The bizumb lynch mob must be going nuts over the way the UIW DBs are being so physical with the NDZU receivers.

[BDKJMU]

Holy Fuk 23-3…

[dal4018]

NDSU caught a break!!!!!!!

[dal4018]

Holy Fuk 23-3…

Ball wasn't caught

[SeattleGriz]

Not trying to be a jerk, but at this point, if it wasn't for UIW bad luck, NDSU wouldn't have any luck at all.

[BDKJMU]

Holy Fuk 23-3…

Ball wasn't caught

Yep. Spoke too soon. Could the IW failed 4th down be the turning point of the game?

[dal4018]

16-10 Bison

Bison is back in the hunt

[SeattleGriz]

I know this is going to sound odd, but why do running backs get to lower their heads and drive into the defense and not get called for "targeting"?

[Gil Dobie]

UIW quit going for the hole in the defense.

[SuperHornet]

I have no idea how NDSU didn't get called for that Bayley-to-Belly suplex they put on the UIW quarterback....

[BDKJMU]

Reminds me of 2016 semis when JMU opened up 17-0 lead..

And NDSU came back to tie it (albeit 3rd qtr) at 17.

[BDKJMU]

Yep. Spoke too soon. Could the IW failed 4th down be the turning point of the game?

Bison is back in the hunt

Yep. That was the turning point.

[SeattleGriz]

UIW with 3 turnovers in the half.

I've asked the same question. If the defender is supposed to keep their head up when making a tackle why shouldn't the ball carrier be required to keep their head up when running?

I also wonder the same thing about hands to the face / facemask. Why should a ball carrier be able to grab a defender's facemask during a stiff arm?

I understand when someone has the offensive player in their grasp, but offensive players shouldn't be allowed to simply drop their helmet and drive into the pile. Gotta call it fair both ways.
