Would like an explanation as to why that play was reviewed. It wasn’t close. Allowed a tired defense to catch their breath.

I expect nothing less up there though.

I understand the conservative defensive calls this year, and the 3-4 set, but our lack of a pass rush is noticeable and concerning.

Certainly tough call but you admitted in your own post he did not stop after the whistle. Players need to be disciplined!

QB Stick is killing us .. their RBs have 15 carries for 40 yards, so they are putting the game in Sticks hands and feet .. 188 yards passing and 43 yards rushing.

NDSU is just better in all aspects. More physical, faster, well-coached.

This sucks.

I think our running backs, defensive backs, and linebackers match up well....but they clearly have an advantage on the defensive front and on the offensive line. Their QB is also pretty much a stud who hasn't played well yet this year.

He is killing us indeed but it all starts in the trenches. ISU losing the battle of the trenches big time

So little confidence on the offense that under a minute at midfield we let the clock run out......

Wow.
😳

I think they are just out-executing us in trenches, but it is not in their run game .. it is all Stick.

That and their offensive linemen are destroying us.

I expected more.

NDSU is the better team and they're playing like it. But this game should be 14-7. We had 1st and goal from the 5 and threw it twice...why? That INT was a killer. Pound the f***ing ball there. You're down two scores, not in a position to get cute, need to get on the board!

Defense gave up a good amount of big plays that half, but are getting zero help from the offense.

???disagree...ndsu has many stick keepers for gains that were by choice vs stick scrambling due to pressure to survive that subsequently resulted in gains

ISU needs to focus this half and play their game as so far they have been off balance due to penalties and big ndsu plays
