UNI 23
NDSU 16

Lots of Field Goals, defensive dominated game. Bailey breaks big run to make the difference.

Re: **Game Thread NDSU--quarterfinals**

I get too anxious watching the Panthers on TV anymore.


Taking a road trip from Las Vegas to Yuma, AZ, the duration of which will take the entire game. My phone will be OFF.

Then, long after the anticipated end of the game, I will pull over near the Mexican border and check the score.

If we won, I'm getting an 18-pak of cold Cerveza Modelo and a giant bag of ganj for the ride home. If we lose, I'm driving straight to El Salvador where I will teach hygiene at an all-girls private middle school.

What's the ticket situation for UNI fans and this game? Are you having a hard time getting one?

Bump. I guess the 20 or so fans that show up already have tickets?

I'd like to say that Cap'n just got added to a lot of NSA lists...but we all know he was added long, long ago

Correct me if Im wrong, but the bison only scored 2 offensive TD's last week... a clean game by UNI and 20 points could win it...

That is true, two offensive TDs, and our defense pretty much held Montana to around half (it seemed) of most offensive stats (that count). Biggest stats 12 rushing yards and 6 points. All we needed the offense to do was score one TD.

Re: **Game Thread NDSU--quarterfinals**

Travel safe to all making the game. UNI is hitting their stride at the right time, NDSU also seems to be on a roll. Your run game gave us fits last game and seems to still be a beast, NDSU has gotten much better against the run. Both teams do not seem to be an air assault threat, but could a big pass play catch either team off guard and be the difference maker. NDSU seems to have found their running game, and UNI is playing some very good run defense right now. Yes, Carson Wentz is actually practicing and not as a decoy, question is IF, can he be close to what he was before getting hurt (I would think his timing would be a little out of wack at least), Stick will start no question. The game is a coin flip for me, could go either way. Gonna be a war, hopefully one to talk about for a long time. I will pick a five point win by NDSU in what I think should be a low scoring game by today's standards 21-16 Bison.

Predicting big games for Smith and Fountain as the buffaloes focus on AB... need the D to step up as 20 could win this one.

Re: **Game Thread NDSU--quarterfinals**

The D will give us a chance to win . . . now the O needs to make big plays and avoid turnovers! Can't wait to watch this game.

Re: **Game Thread NDSU--quarterfinals**

I dunno, the D was kind of suspect last week

C,Mon ESPN. You show highlights of NDSU/ISU when talking about the playoff game????

Re: **Game Thread NDSU--quarterfinals**

I think winning this game would mean the ship was actually corrected after getting off course early this season and the year is officially a great success. Losing this game puts the team in more of a murky position where we'll look at the schedule late season and ask whether we actually witnessed a dramatic improvement or if we just faced inferior teams at the right time.

I think we did witness a real change and the development of an offensive identity (even if it isn't pretty!) that is effective. In the end, NDSU's ability to contain big plays will likely decide the outcome. This is not the bison defense of years past, so I like our chances.

Looks like the team brought the dome sign with them again.
