Homecoming - North Dakota St.

[fourthandshort]

Hard to say if we can make a game of it or not. Homecoming crowd could give us a little juice. Going clse 1dt half, and Bison pull away a bit 2nd half.

27 to 13, Bison

Okay, have not heard from the Kool-Aid Krew yet, so here's some "food for thought".

Last spring, March 13, at Bisonville, Redbirds lost to NDSU 21-13. 8 point game. It was a one point game until 4 minutes left in the game.

Fall 2019, at Bisonville, Redbirds lost 9-3 to NDSU in the playoffs.

Bryce Jefferson at QB in both games. Okay, some guy Robinson was at RB in the 2019 game. But . . . .

It's not totally a lost cause here, IF, IFFF, the Redbirds snap out of it. Get after it.

Jefferson at QB for a total of 16 points in the two games. I don't think 16 points does it today regardless of the Redbird QB. BTW, that defense that held the Bison to 9 total points in that playoff game was pretty darn good. This defense has played better than I expected for the most part but I don't see them slowing down the Bison attack. In the spring ISU did not play against the current Bison QB. NDSU went out and upgraded to Patterson at 6'4" 240 lbs. He passed for 2 TDs and ran for 2 TDs last week against UNI. Patterson ended up 11 of 21 for 182 yards and the two TDs. The NDSU defense had 5 sacks. in that game. Upgrading at QB in the off-season...what a concept! I hope I am wrong but I can see this one getting very ugly. The Bison have won the last 10 games against ISU. They are 12-2 all-time against the Redbirds. I see it going to 11.

Ouch, cold morning wake up with a splash of cold Kool-Aid!! Thanks Virginia, I needed that.

Getting ready to head down I-39 for Homecoming. Despite what I wrote in that earlier post, I'm prepared for a beat down today. It's possible we could hang, but more likely along the lines of what fourthandshort predicts - play tough for a while then it slips away.

I'll say Big Brown Cows 34 - Young Redbirds 17.

Should be a beautiful day for a game tho.

Go Birds. Play a clean game and you have a chance

Enjoy the game MadBird! I sincerely hope I am wrong and the season's biggest FCS upset is just hours away.

Our O line is going to be in for a long afternoon. Crap.

Jefferson can't take a sack. Throw the ball in the endzone. Short field gives up the fg.

 

[Redbird15]

Wow come out of halftime move ball to 32 yard line 3rd n 4... you give QB basically 1 option to throw in middle of field why not give him a rollout of pocket to throw to TE Wr or be able to run ! Forum Quit with QB young team excuses use them once we get a OC that can call a strategic game and utilize multiple players ! Do we not see NDSU using multiple skill players !

 

[TIMMY]

Defense hanging tough!
Offense 3-11 for 28yds. NDSU is playing 8 in the box. Daring us to throw. Can someone please explain this to me? F&#%!*& B%!! S#!*

 

[TIMMY]

If everyone had the heart of Vandenburg we'd never lose.

 

[cubird]

Defense will have to run one back for a chance to win this game.

 

[fdbird83]

It's sad when your only down 10 pts. but you feel like you have no chance to come back.

 

[cubird]

catch the damn ball. make a play. Defense has gotten better this year. Offense does not have one play maker. Defense has played their ass off and spends too much time on the field with short fields to defend.

 

[TIMMY]

Nuff Said!!!

#	PLAYER	C-A	YDS	TD	I	C%	RTG
5	JEFFERSON, B	4-18	40	0	2	22	18.7
14	WARING, J	0-2	0	0	0	0	0
	PASS TOTALS	4-20	40	0	2	20

 

[Brick]

Defense played well. Offense 99 yards total. 4/20 passing. Jefferson is not gonna produce wins.

 

[Manchester Matt]

At this point, I have to wonder if this staff can truly evaluate talent or if they are just clueless.

Another unacceptable performance.

 

[91Bird]

Defense played a great game. The offense couldn’t score if it was an 8 quarter game. A great opponent, a struggling offensive line, but 4 for 20 passing is about as horrible as you’ll see.

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Just blow it up. Blow up MBB as well.
F’ing embarrassing. Again
