Crimson Red Sports

The game starts at 11 am on ESPN2.

North Dakota State is the bad boys of FCS football. They have won 4 consecutive NC's and now they face JSU for their 5th in a row. JSU is the #1 team in FCS and NDST is #6. JSU has a high powered offense which revolves around their dynamic QB Eli Jenkins who is a running & passing threat, a mini Cam Newton.

 :popcorn2:

Kickoff to NDST. Their QB is 6'6" 235.

Bisons running game looking nasty, just up the middle with big holes.



 :facepalm:

Game is on!

Apparently JSU has 3 SEC transfers on the Defensive front.

NDSt appears to have a power rushing offense, mostly running up the middle.  So far JSU hasn't stopped them and NDSt is across midfield.

 :popcorn2:

ESPN has NDSt listed as #3. 

I thought they were No. 6 seed in the playoffs.  Maybe these are rankings after the playoffs started.  (Coaches Poll.)   ???

JSU finally stops them.  NDSt settles for a FG.  3-0

I was expecting a lot more offense. Starting off like the Tide/Michigan State game. 10-0 NDST

In the final poll I think NDST was #6 & JSU #1, then they seeded them for the playoffs.

This may be a long game for JSU. NDSU playing like they've been there before. JSU looks nervous.

Bisons running game is killing JSU. They have to start selling out on the line & box. 17-0 NDST


 :wall:

Bisons D has good tacklers. JSU definitely under the gun on offense & defense.



 :stars:

Yeah, at this rate it could be over by halftime. Let me check the TV schedule for Gilligan's Island re-runs.


 :facepalm:

This is brutal. Jax State can't get anything going. NDSU looks like an absolute machine.

I'm already watching golf. Dang, Hawaii looks good!

JSU scores, 24-7, still lots of time left. They have to stop the Bisons, though.



 :dunno:

Funny how Dabo messages NDSt wishing them luck.  NDSt is the perennial powerhouse, with 4 straight championships and a power rushing game.  JSU is more of a spread team with a dual threat QB.  Sound familiar? 

One of the commercials they are airing is for a "know it all" app for those who want to show they're right.  In the commercial, a truck driver is looking under the hood where white smoke is rising up.  The woman checks her app and says, "faulty fuel injector, I told you so."  But this is silly, white smoke would likely mean a faulty water pump or radiator issues, and not the fuel injector.  I don't know what message they're trying to send.   :eyeroll:

Fumble JSU on their 20 yard line.  NDSt recovery.  JSU is being outplayed, and they're imploding. 

Well JSU intercepts on a trick play.  It's not quite over yet.  But the defender comes out of the end zone.  JSU football on their 2 yard line.

INT NDSt.  JSU can't seem to do anything right.   :facepalm:

I like the way you think. I agree!  :toast1:

The NDST team has to be a great team. It has to be history to do what they have done for 5 straight years. We had a good team but we will be back next year. RTR!
