2019 NCAA FCS Championship Semifinal - Montana State vs North Dakota State

North Dakota State FCS champion seven of the last eight years are one win away from the title game the last 27 opponents to play here have lost Montana State will try to end the streak [Applause] one of two FCS semifinals today the number two seat James Madison hosting Weber State the Dukes of J mu on a 13 game winning streak favored in that game to take on the winner of this game speaking of streaks the best streak in college football right now belongs to the Bison and first-year head coach Matt Entz 35 straight they've only trailed one team by more than a touchdown during the course of this winning streak on the other side the number five seed Montana State Jeff showed in his fourth season when he took this job he said I'm gonna do it my way whether it gets me fired or not it's been quite the opposite it's been the opposite but look he's learned from Chris Peterson while they were at Boise State he learned from my cleats when they're at Washington State he's built this program his way my cousin's Kirk Morrison glad to have you with us Olivia Decker reporting from the sidelines here this afternoon inside the Fargodome a sellout crowd was announced earlier this week after the last couple games saw empty seats believe it or not standing room only tickets are all that was left here in Fargo North Dakota the Bison winners of the coin toss they defer and so Montana State will begin on offense the Bobcats last year Olivia eliminated by NDSU a bit of a revenge game Steph Cho told us that mantra out of it never again never and let someone to turn and despite the Bobcats not making this semifinal game in 35 years goats chose being very firm on the schedule in fact he turned down a fan send-off for this game he said we don't have send-offs middle of the season guys he's keeping business as for a squad that comes in 11 and 3 the first down handoff to Isaiah upon say the sophomore from Bellevue Washington and we'll see a lot of handoffs today from Tucker roving with this team running at 61 percent of the time yeah he's a game manager but he's one of the good game managers in FCS he doesn't turn the ball over a lot but he relies like you mentioned on that running game they'll have three or four backs today cool touch the football robic took over the starting job before their game week 4 against Norfolk State was hurt early last year and has taken control of his job this season back to mass on second down the running back Logan Jones with slippery hands it'll be third down and long and before that play let's take a look at your impact players curve I think the impact players has to be the running back isaiah llevanse a 186 yards last hundred 96 yards last week when you look at North Dakota State defensively James Hendricks their all-american safety he'll be all over the field be a great matchup seeing him try to bring down upon safe throughout the game one of the loudest indoor football atmospheres you'll find at any level and it's third down and seven on the opening drive for Montana State the Blitz is on and the side on throw is incomplete from robic intended for Travis Johnson the senior receiver with pressure from Jackson Hickey and Jabril Cox the linebackers yeah you mentioned it bike Jabril Cox he compete blitzes unaccounted-for hurries the throw from tucker roving and already you see what the game plan is for North Dakota State defensively they're going to try to pressure on those third and long situations Montana State they have to win first and second down let's go me in for a long game jarred Pat mich Trevor heit takes it inside the 30 yard line after punt of 45 yards we're the number one seed the undefeated 40 nano North Dakota State bison take over with a freshman trail ants running the show yeah trail ants the one word that everyone here in Fargo keeps telling me it's points he's not a redshirt freshman they feel like he is much older he plays much older when we think of the quarterbacks before him here at North Dakota State he's learned from some of the best on the course of this championship run names like Brock Jensen Carson Wentz east in a stick [Applause] [Music] we welcome you to the Fargodome in Fargo North Dakota an FCS championship semifinal the winner goes on to the championship game in Frisco Texas the number one seat North Dakota State bison winners of 35 straight games 27 straight here in this building against the five seed Montana State Bobcats out of the Big Sky it was North Dakota State that ended at Montana State season a year ago so a bit of a revenge game for the Bobcats as the Bison but to stay undefeated this season they won seven of the last eight FCS championship Mike cousins with Kirk Morrison and Olivia Decker reporting from the sidelines today glad to have you with us here in the cozy confines of the Fargodome although the weather today rather nice here in Fargo up in the 20s maybe the 30s if you get some sunshine but we're indoors Mike we're inside the Fargodome it feels great up here at the booth and watching this offense for North Dakota State go to work in their first possession we restored at 7:00 on a three and out for Montana State on their opening drive third down and three for the Bison they swing it to the outside and Jimmy Kippur Asst redshirt senior receiver makes the grab and the Bison move the chains you're already see getting the ball out of the perimeter early for trail ends this offense sort of stalled last week because the running game was not as effective as they had wanted to be what watching of Montana state borders their game plan for they are they going to pressure here's a quarterback if you look at the comparison with Carson Wentz it's that zero right here that zero number is something that I'm looking at no interceptions for trail and second season his number is when you look at the Scotch eat for the first time you almost think it's a typo because of just how good it is his comparison to Wentz in his first year as a starter is outstanding he uses options and goes to the check down one broken tackle along the sideline for Demetri Williams the former wide receiver is pushed out of bounds along the Montana State sidelines you like the tempo right and you like the different personnel groupings MC and already with North Dakota State offensive we're not just gonna line up in 11 personnel 12 personnel they're gonna bring in so far we've seen two backs in the backfield so so far a much different game playing going to get some known against Montana State than what we saw last week versus Illinois State dr. Brooks has got some room to wiggle and another first down you mentioned last week's game the win against Illinois State here inside the Fargodome a nine six final score and the first time that the Bison didn't score a touchdown at home since 2002 a bit of an offensive aberration for this team while a lot of it was what happened in the red zone his team did not convert they got to the red zone on three different opportunities just did score points well they got bill gold but they won't touchdowns and so far you got to like the way this is opening Drive is starting for North Dakota State [Applause] get out for lance and a dart to the 40-yard line is complete and the tackle quickly made there on the senior tight end Ben Ellefson it'll be interesting to watch how much Montana state takes from The Blueprint last week that Illinois State used where they blitz on all but 14 of the plays in that game and made life difficult for Matt Entz his team well so far you saying that North Dakota State is expecting blitz but what have we seen from the trail ends getting the ball out quickly whether it's two screens to the outside or just a nice little 5-yard hookup route getting the ball out quickly so far trail ends [Applause] first down bison let's go down to Olivia like you guys said three field goals last week that's all that was on the scoreboard and they had three trips to the red zone even to within the ten and before the game asked coach cents how they addressed that this week they definitely focused more on red zone reps he said our team so young but yeah even in the season we still have to do that and then with tre Lance their record-setting quarterback he said he's been much more intentional much more deliberate and exaggerated every motion every play call this week he came to play he's a Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Player of the Year he loads up and a strong throw across the field completes to Braylon Henderson who's getting some more action here later into the postseason you see some of that arm strength from the young redshirt freshman right coming from the left hash sets his speed and throws a strike to the outside and it's just about executing you like this drive so far then executing so you haven't seen any negative plays everything is going forward and that's what this North Dakota State Office wants to do you get a good indication watching his decision-making it's always going to the right spot of how he's thrown 25 touchdowns and no interceptions they used Kobe Johnson the freshman running back in motion fake it to him and Lance is the runner he spins his way out of the first wave of tacklers keeps going all the way down to the 15-yard line eleven yards for the freshman quarterback one of four players with more than 600 rushing yards on this team yeah is this guy's out of place you got blockers out in front like tre Lynch does he just follows his guys old student body right but you got the quarterback who's writing the football and not handing it off to the running back so far have not seen Montana State bring a ton of pressure just playing there pays front they may have to change that as they North Dakota State team enters the red zone and they've sustained this drive their first in the game here comes the 10th play on this opening possession for NDSU [Applause] let's get the call up the middle and takes it for five yards I met there by Callahan O'Reilly a middle linebacker you love quarterback power and people forget that trait Lance is six foot three 221 pounds a bigger quarterback so he can take the hits and then you got the offensive line blocking the way they are so far on its opening drive you like the good push getting five six yards a clip on first down [Applause] they get big in the backfield and come across the formation for Demetri Williams who's got a couple on the carry the redshirt senior from Lakeville Minnesota so they go wishbone there you saw three backs in the backfield right coalfield williams and also woods and now they could bring those three guys out and they bring in the big tight ends Elsie Babbage and now what is Montana State dude do you bring pressure try to force and fill up all the gaps this is where trail ends sky and looking diagnosing what the defense brings them seem to decide here Lance off to the left side he slips a tackle ease into the end zone touchdown bison you couldn't script up a better drive for North Dakota State that's what you ask you ask the quarterback your redshirt freshman quarterback in his first start in the semifinal game take your team down to score touchdown that's exactly what Trey Lintz able to do and Griffin crow says extra point is good 7 nothing North Dakota State it's all about starting with the guys up front stills from front five offensive linemen leading Trey Lance to the end zone [Music] es bien home of the college football playoff the winner here in Fargo is on to the FCS title game 7-nothing North Dakota's day glad you're with us here inside the Fargodome my cousins Kirk Morrison Olivia Decker reporting from the sidelines a 12-play drive to start things off for the Bison trail ants all the right decisions into the end zone know you like the mix of running past trying to stay balanced but it was all about the running game seven run the five pass and it was pretty much led by trail and I want you to watch just watch what happens here Adam Cole field he's the running back we'll watch him lead up for a guy like trail ants to just fine just a little bit of room it's his blocking we always talked about the running backs them getting the football but you got to be great blockers as well Adam Koch field just leading the way for trail ants into the end zone sustained drive as nine different players touch the ball and they've only turned it over five times this year that's how they can afford to spread it out because they take care of the ball so well with their five turnovers the fewest in FCS this season putting one drive in the books from Montana State the number five seed in the FCS postseason and they'll start their second inside their own 25 yard line after a 22 yard return on the kickoff [Music] win over Albany to start their postseason run and then last week a win over Austin Peay 24 to 10 1984 also their lone national championship they made the 750 mile trip from Bozeman Garrett o Fargo midway through the first quarter and Logan Jones is the carrier on first down for Montana State which coming into this game has run for over 37 hundred yards 37 23 to be exact which is a program record as they've had six different players go for at least a hundred yards in a game this year yeah they're averaging about 265 the game Mike but that's how I expect him to start this football game isn't running the ball how do you quiet this prowl if you're on the road you've got to get the running game going so far not so much Roah vague with a quick pass finds the tight end Derek Snell the freshman from Anchorage Alaska and you may never quiet this crowd they may hope to stun them though but what is Montana State done on this Drive the first two plays of what aid won first and second down there gets to a third and short situation and this is where you hope to lean on your three all-conference linemen that they can get some push against this North Dakota State front the home field advantage is palpable it is audible here in Fargo 27 straight victories in this building for the Bison and they go right through the heart of the defense for the first down you got to love just this offensive line I got the great push to get the pool by to Yasha Sopo up front in Logan Jones just lowers his shoulder and gets what you need you didn't need much did you need to the yard Logan Jones got that 1 yard it's a 4-man rushed by the bhai's in the pocket holds up well and the throw is incomplete some miscommunication intended for Johnson there and it'll be second down in ten here Johnson's a guy who you need to get the football to the senior the Oregon transfer out of Fullerton California he's their ex guy I call him the ex guy cuz he's extra you could put him at wide receiver on the outside in the slide he can also take some wildcat snaps as well a guy who came to Montana State to try to play quarterback they said not we need you on the outside for the outstanding receivers in the country hey they didn't ask him they told him to go there the number eight dual threat quarterback coming out of high school when that year's number one was Tyler Murray [Applause] now here we go you look at first and second down on that first set it down they got to third and short a little bit easier but Mike you starting to get the third long and this is where the Fargodome takes over you get into the third and 10 plus and now you're asking your offense to not only try to find the right receiver but this is where both Dakota State tends to bring pressure I'm always looking at the linebackers especially 52 Jackson Hank Kevon castus who's caught more passes than anybody else comes out of the backfield and that's almost taken away Derrick Tusker gets the hands up and nearly got the interception Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year coming up big on third down he's got to watch the defensive end Tusker he doesn't allow himself to be cut that's great technique because he realizes you're not going to get me just stands up and if you can't get to a quarterback jump up to get a hand up it's almost an athletic interception by Tusker so it's the second first quarter punt the Montana State and there is a flag down as height was back to return it hearing the kid holding return team number seven after this is to the goal line first down 12 play touchdown drive to start bison ball again when we come back the NCAA FCS football championship won't you buy aids the helpful place [Music] there's a lot to eat out the parking lot you don't have to walk very far to find the good food with the bison tailgaters who are happy to share all different types of food there's even minnow racing if you look close enough in the parking lot 7-nothing buys it for tina no the season number one seed and their freshman quarterback Trey Lance was pretty much perfect on the opening drive yeah you got think about it last week this team could not score a touchdown would it take them long the first drive the drive that was very balanced seven run to five pass but it was Trey Lantz going five for five hitting his receiver in this ride in that run at the end for a touchdown nice offensive start for North Dakota State the biggest value you hear about him from this coaching staff is his humility which has allowed him to be such a good leader he got flags [Applause] so that sets them back a little bit more but for as loud as this building is when the Bison are on defense it's about as quiet as it was in Indianapolis when Peyton Manning was quarterback in the Colts yeah they very fan base that understands football trust me a smart fan base here in North Dakota Demitri Williams bundles the ball up and gets stuck on his trip up the middle of the defense these two teams met last year in the second round of the playoffs a 52 to 10 win for North Dakota State that ended the season for Montana State loving the physical part of this football game already we got helmets flying well offensive linemen just pushing guys back coach kids talked about it so how do you get this game started right it's a front for five for five guys up front to the ground again the yardage is minimal for Adam Cofield Kirk I don't know about you but when we spoke with Jeff showed earlier this week print Montana State head coach I was a little surprised almost at how Frank he was he said when we lost to this team last year we weren't well prepared enough we were just happy to get to where we had been now in his fourth season as an FCS head coach he's come from a great lineage well yeah I understand is the lineage of Chris Peterson we're at Boise State and how they started that program to the problems that it's at right now and it Mike Leach Washington State think about where Washington State is now he's doing it the right way at Montana State getting better year by year and third down the Bison the past into a very small window is complete and that moves the sticks with the catch from Josh Babbage the sophomore at tight end you talk about a tight window there was no window but watch the arm strength of trae Lance just puts the ball right where it needs to be and you ask your tight end you ask your receivers you ask your backs to make a play for me that's all you ask from a quarterback job well done they do ask a lot from their tight ends they've caught a ton of passes and combined to catch 16 of the 25 touchdowns thrown by Lance this year fresh set of downs play-action Lance with all sorts of time the rocket arm is unleashed downfield and just too long for Christian Watson a wide receiver who's so fast he told Lance you can never overthrow me and the rare exception coming there on first down well he did overthrow the sophomore from Tampa Christian Watson he had him I mean he is literally wide open in trail ends just a little bit too much on that football they finally got the look that they wanted they had 101 on the outside and just missed on a big home run play first incomplete pass for Lance now 6 of 7 for 36 yards [Applause] and he gets a good number at Gary's 870 rushing yards for him to go along with 11 rushing touchdowns how good is he carrying the ball whether it's passing or as a runner he's fumbled in three times lost one that was in week one in the first quarter the 16th snap of the season August 31st Mike he just protects the football and when you protect the football as well as he does you got to think that Montana State they understand that defensively they realize that and so what do they do they're gonna look and try to force him to make some unforced or even some forced turnovers or men rust with a stunt along the defensive line testing the sideline or the ball of plenty of air under it and looking for Watson again it's incomplete and it'll bring on the punt team for the Bison that's a win Montana say Bobcats defense you get this North Dakota all fits North Dakota State offense on the sidelines you've done your job making sure they're taking away the deep pass right they missed the opportunity earlier North Dakota State did but they're on third down just rushing forward doing a terrific job so Garret Wegner back at the 13 yard line to punch it away to coy steal for Montana State from the 25 he lost it and he's fortunate to have a teammate recover it is Montana State football down 7 nothing but a flash of danger for the fifth seeded Bobcats they'll try to score up the breeze time when we return to Fargo North Dakota [Music] everybody does like make it but do you like it raps on a gator that was one of the motive secret of options for bison tailgaters here today out in the parking lot how about it FCS semi-final action here another game today James Madison Weber State on the FCS champion will be crowned January 11th Frisco Texas on ABC at noon for more information ncaa.com the official home for all 90 NCAA championships Montana State back to it down 7 nothing late in the first quarter here in Fargo North Dakota the handoff on first down goes to mark Estes the seldom used wide receiver and that's the biggest play of the day for the Bobcats yeah getting on edges so far and I like this plan you want to get to the outside and just watch the running it really is just finding lady your blocks develop that's an outstanding job the blocks on the outside by the tight end Jacob Hadley just getting a hat on a hat and allowed your players to make plays it's a big run to start this Drive now they go wildcat for the first time Travis Johnson barrels forward for about three remember we told you a little while ago the transfer from Oregon who left there after spring practice in 2017 one of the best dual threat quarterback is coming out of high school in Fullerton California transition from quarterback to wide receiver here at Montana State but still gets used in an array of scenario well I just called him Weapon X that's what he is he's a weapon you've got to find ways to get him the football whether it's in the air or just handing it off to him or even on that last we're taking the down Rex now row big hands it off Logan Jones the minimal game stop by Jackson Hankey another third down where they'll likely have to go to the air no they got to go to the air and at some point they're gonna have to start taking a shot down the field right trying to catch this North Dakota State defense off garbetts it third and six still 30 medium and you like Tucker roll big to sit in the pocket and just try to find someone that guy to me it has to be Travis Johnson I'm looking for number 10 here probably over the middle Johnson set up to the top of your screen [Applause] Lance McCutcheon a big target six three he came across the formation and it sets up the pass out of the backfield to a francais he's inside the 20 and down inside the ten yard line the sophomore running back escapes from the backfield and with his speed picks up 40 yards oh you gotta love the play concept first of all you get a nice little you get a pick concept right you get the tide in get on a plate and then you get keep on say on the outside one-on-one with Jabril Cox I like that matchup my 10 estate smart [Music] [Applause] start of the second quarter 7-nothing North Dakota State but a 40 yard game sets up great field position for Montana State well as a 40 yard game because you got gibreel Cox here you got Isaiah Infante the running back all he does is run a nice little wheel route and remember Jabril cox the junior from Kansas City he says what the running back he Fontes only got two catches on the season they're throwing to him yes he doesn't stay in a block he gets to the outside and Jabril Cox caught looking in the backfield big play for Montana State on first and goal they get inside the five and down to the one-yard line with the ball in the hands of Kevin cassis who's caught about 30% of the passes thrown this year the senior from California sets them up mere inches away from tying this game you start to see more and more things throughout this game Kevin caches has not ran a reverse all season long now he does it you down here in the red zone getting the ball to the outside again that has been the best that we've seen from Montana State in terms of getting production against his North Dakota State defense Wildcat again Johnson set to take the direct snap leap into the top of the pile and he stopped short he's just about to push up front just watch as you get to all those green bodies there everybody's around [Applause] and you get to the third and goal situation I thought they had something to the outside right what's been the best play on this drive so far from Montana State is getting the ball outside on the perimeter on the edges I look for something right here on the outside on the edges the Fonz a in the backfield passes out wide road Vig gives it up for a Fonzie who stuffed again he lost yardage on the play that's just not the call that I would have had there you've got an opportunity to score points on the roll play this could be a different situation here we know about the field goal kicking his Montana State they may just say you know what that play could have told me what we're going for it on fourth down we don't know how many opportunities that we are going to get inside the 10-yard line versus defense that last call may have been to do what go for it on fourth down as they got stuck see what Michael tutsi and this defense can do here as Montana State is set to go for it on fourth and goal their field goal kicker just 2 of 6 in the last two games they try and tie it up and we've got a whistle pre-snap the Bobcats take a timeout a chance to reconsider for Jeff Choate with the Bobcats looking for revenge [Music] it's fourth and goal from Montana State and Kurt you didn't like the play call last time oh I didn't like the second or third down calls because you ran right into the teeth of the North Dakota State defense you've been successful on this Drive getting to the outside and let's remember last week with a jump pass down here close inside the 5-yard line North Dakota State aware Johnson the Wildcat quarterback and he's in untouched he goes right up the middle after the fifth handoff and the Bobcats are an extra point away from evening things up with the Bison Wow just a great play there's a flag somewhere I don't see it I guess they picked the flag up outstanding play it's a great call there by Matt Miller offensive coordinator for Montana State everybody's looking to the outside I'm looking to the outside they faked the handoff and they keep it to a like I said Weapon X Travis Johnson or touchdown that's got to make life really difficult after they came out with one look and they put a guy who can run it or throw it there you use the guy who came in to play quarterback but they say no you just be a weapon and Weapon X like I call him walks into the end zone Montana State on the board [Music] the NCAA FCS football championship grunting bike BMW the ultimate driving machine early this morning as the Sun rose over the Fargodome the tailgaters were out in full force indoors and outdoors therefore this FCS semifinal the Bison 14 and oh trying to get to the national championship game the score now even after a touchdown run by Travis Johnson 7-7 from the Wildcat spot just took Travis Johnson he comes into the game he's in the backfield always said when you got a guy like Travis Johnson he's not back there to take pictures they're putting the ball in his hands at that time the entire defense they go with the fly motion Johnson walks into the end zone they set a school record for rushing yards this year six different players with a hundred yard games on the ground Johnson more than 500 yards rushing in addition to what he's done as a receiver is always a danger to the defense and you get to run down on kickoff to [Music] [Applause] and a touchback on the kick from tristan Bailey as they elected not to kick the field goal there and it pays off for the squad that felt like they were not well prepared enough for this game last year when they got knocked out a blowout loss so North Dakota State going back on offense here 7-7 who are the impact players when North Dakota state's on often so we saw earlier was Christian Watson they try to get the ball to him deep but it just didn't happen it work out for him and in you think about Bryce Turk number 37 the defensive end second in FCS in terms of sacks with 15 on the year these are the guys I'm watching but so far they got to get Christian Watson the wide receiver number one get him involved in this game the time in the pocket many a time downfield and there you go as you called it it's a touchdown heave - Christian Watson 75 yards for Lance's 26 touchdown of the year bison back in front it's like I said he's my impact player for the reason and I'm sitting here waiting I'm waiting for this offense to get him more involved and I get one-on-one on the outside I've missed him earlier tre Lance doesn't miss him a second time you see the speed you see the athletic ability 6:3 196 pounds sophomore from tampa scores a touchdown and does his little dance charge the coaching staff told us how fast he is they were tracking devices underneath their gear he said about 23 miles an hour speed sprinting down the field for reference Usain Bolt is about 27 miles in FF&E I just know he's fast a lot faster than me but if I get one-on-one on the outside I'm going like Randy Moss one of my former team names I'm just holding the hand up saying hey tre Lance just throw it out there let me go get it and then when you get to the end zone make sure you got the celebrations ready tre Lance already 2 touchdowns on the day so Watson can catch a breather here as the Bison have that quick strike drive last week 7 for 107 a football family his older brother Trey played linebacker at Illinois and then last year was a grad transfer at Maryland first-team all-big ten as a linebacker [Applause] any team that comes in here is going to feel like the underdog right whether the lime says it or not and for all that work that Montana State have to do in one play all of a sudden they find themselves back trailing again [Music] [Applause] [Music] Jones has spun forward fall out to the 25 on the return Capital One Bowl mania continues tonight on ABC as Chris Peterson coaches his final game this is the Chris Peterson Boise State versus Washington in the midst of BC Motors Las Vegas fall at 7:30 Eastern 4:30 Pacific on ABC also live on the ESPN app with the hometown quarterback who started his career at Georgia and returned home Jacob Eason yeah Jacob Eason he's got a decision to make probably right now thinking about do I come back to Washington the different head coach not here sembly no but the opportunity right now when you watch these work the quarterbacks in the NFL Jacob Eason could be 1 to 20 it's the latest in a season that Montana State has played in quite some time you have to go back and spend 1956 Kalume in a bowl if it doesn't sound familiar it's because it was a one-time game the NAIA championship game that year in Little Rock on December 22nd and Kirke it was a thriller a 0-0 scoreless tie to finish the season what's the trophy for that game mother did you find out the trophy for the aluminum gonna shuffle ball of aluminum for Jennsen takes the snap after his touchdown run on fourth and goal on the last drive third and five coming up from Montana State so so far the success from Montana State Montana State offensive Lee has been one it's been the quarterback keeper within the wild pad which is Travis Johnson but getting the ball to the outside and again here third and five they've missed on their last opportunity so here I still believe North Dakota State brings pressure you have to try to speed up the process but took the roll [Applause] the quarterback who wasn't the starter to begin the year and took over in week 4 against Norfolk State they've got confidence in him he draws off his back foot and nearly has it intercepted by Jackson Henke second time today that a ball has been in and out of the hands of a bison defender no it's because he felt the pressure from Derek Tusker on the outside this front of North Dakota State they've got a lot of depth but when you know you're in an obvious passing situation they're just coming off with great speed and relying on his crowd to make some noise and know that it's gonna be a quick snap count they're all over [Applause] [Music] I spun in a long run all the way back to the 20-yard line ball comes loose right at the very end as Trevor heit bobbled it the Bison have it and a 14-7 lead on their home turf welcome back to Fargo the Bison lead 14 to 7 but Montana State is without their best player so far that's Troy Anderson he's the quarterback turned running back turned linebacker he's missed the last three games dealing with lower leg injuries but guys he is dressed today he warmed up told his coaches he feels good the coach told me that might just be some adrenaline and they really want to be conservative but he is available if he plays it's just on defense again he played quarterback in this game last year a 52 to 10 defeat by the Bison another huge scores to start off the drive Christian Watson the back touches and back-to-back touchdowns [Music] [Applause] mic their speed and in there's elite speed not a lot of people have this kind of speed he's an impact player for a reason you get hats on hats and injustice beat takes over there is no one that can catch him I mean guys are stopping at the 40 30 yard line like we're never going to get there this is Christian Watson everybody if you have it got a chance to see them I'm standing kicked out there and they dial up something trying to go 4-2 to tack on a couple more at the end of the play they catch a nap it bright they line up in the old swinging gate they see how do you line up to it and remember you're at home and you find a way to get the football in the endzone to increase your lead Kody malc there's a backup right tackle on their depth chart catching the ball James Hendricks who's my other impact player on the defensive side he takes the direct snap throws it into the end zone and the two-point play and now these fans here in Fargo start to fill it they feel that this team is starting to pull away is this a team that looks nice or what right now a lot better performance so far than we saw last week did not score an offensive touchdown did not score a defensive touchdown just three field goals in the entire game nine points and so far with still 10 51 to go 22 points already on the board last week was the first time they didn't score a touchdown at home since 2002 [Applause] [Music] they've got their FCS record 35 game winning streak longest in FCS history trying to extend that and earn themselves a trip to the title game in 2020 [Music] [Applause] let more of Capital One Bowl mania with two more bowl games later tonight on ESPN the Camellia Bowl FIU and their third straight bowl and for Arkansas State their ninth straight bowl game with all the head coaches they've had then at 9:00 Eastern the rnl carriers New Orleans ball number 20 appstate their best season ever takes on a UAB both games also on ESPN Watson two touches two touchdowns and they've scored 15 points in under half a minute the time it takes you to type out a text message would be longer than it was for them to score two touchdowns but now the focus is back on Montana State yes North Dakota State is scored on the last two possessions so how do we stop the bleeding how do we stop the bleeding you go back to who you are you go back to your identity and running the football and so if you say that this is a drive that if they could just get points on this drive bleed some of the clock we can make some corrections at the half but right now we have to stop the bleeding go back to our identity when the ball [Applause] so they line up big get it out across the 20-yard line they meant stocking about third and four two third and seven four more snaps than they'd like to know then and now that what you've got a lead North Dakota stayed out of the twos possession lead they haven't brought pressured and as these fans start to rise on 3rd and 5 do they just seem for and allow seven to get underneath the routes but a couple times that vomit who's completed sixty-two percent this year set the drawer off his back foot a quick swing pass in the Bison all over it Logan Jones swallowed up as they lose yardage on the play and they'll have to punt again Aaron Burr Cadell on the linebacker coming through strong yeah they're not gonna let the running back out again on third down they're not they refuse to you go to that sideline do not allow the running backs out of the backfield Merck Adel all over that last play but again no pressure at all just running with the front for reading and reacting getting the defense off the field all the shunt along that sideline for Montana State can only imagine what's going through the minds of the defenders the last two plays have ended up as touchdowns they'll have to come back out on the field and four to five things once again as the Bison of 22 to seventh half the Jews have the lead the crowd behind them and a trip to the championship game on the line [Music] a bit of insanity here from North Dakota State a two-point conversion was good but you got to remember you have to have seven eligible men on the line of scrimmage that's one two three four five six and then there goes number seven right which makes this guy mouth he is that eligible receiver and so what happens the defense forgets all about him and Heelys lines and walks into the end zone the ball thrown from Hendricks that's a touchdown when those plays happen you always have to remember who are the eligible guys on the field that timeout just kind of hit in almost like an offensive lineman no one accounted for him for the two-point conversion Watson gets his third straight touch you can hear the crowd begin to rise as he came down the field as his last two touches were touchdown yeah he's been having to wait for his opportunity and he finally got it the opportunity to get behind the defense a nice throw from Lance and then also just get him the ball in space I love his speed to take over there's nobody gonna catch him he's already out in front by twenty yards he could have walked into the end zone he has the lead speed just give him the football and you see what he's doing he's a difference maker my impact player for North Dakota State already doing more on his own than the Bobcats have diamond Watson is from Tampa that's a long ways from where we are much closer to Manitoba that we are to the Sunshine State love talking recruiting with this staff and offensive coordinator Tyler roll there's only 33 years old played running back here in the mid to late 2000s they can get guys from the Upper Midwest quite easily but to go down to Florida they've got to really look a little bit deeper yeah there is no nonstop flights from far Co to Tampa but what you do is you find guys do you think ties our developmental pieces and he's developed in just a short time not only as a sophomore but a leader and that wide receiver which is one of the biggest question once this 2019 team seven and a half minutes to play here before halftime the Bison of 22:7 number one seed were limited to just nine points last week and the offense has broken out in the first half here today third and one again I think they keep the ball here and Lance's hands again Romero 31 third and short before he has checking to play at the line of scrimmage looking for the safety right up top here you find that safety try to want away from him and we've got whistles and a flag before the play offense number 75 five guard penalty third down Matt Entz it's been a year a week and a day since he was named head coach before their Cemil semifinal game last year interviewed on late on a Wednesday night in his practice clothes sweatpants maybe a sweatshirt he said still might have had the practice plan stub down the back of my shorts and the next day with his wife at the facility was when he was offered the job [Applause] on one another bison first down as they've come into this game with a record of 35 straight victories it's hard to put into perspective sometimes how good that is so here are the Bison winners of seven of the last eight FCS titles James Madison the other Alabama at the FBS level four national championships in the decade Tom Brady and the Patriots he seems to never age as they continue to win and at the college level Geno Auriemma --zz UConn women's basketball team Cael Sanderson and the Penn State Nittany Lions wrestling dynasty North Dakota State right among those elite teams in all different sports and I think probably the key stat on that one is that they've they're trying to do it now a good green different head coaches right you think about the coaching lineage here over the last decade right you think about it started you know with Craig Bohl and you go from Boulder Chris Klieman and now it's Matt ends his time right it's my turn and they're doing it with the redshirt freshman quarterback that they're trying to get to another national title game I think this is probably the most impressive of the championships so far this decade if they can get back in winning because they're doing it with some new characters Craig ball started to run now the head coach at Wyoming trying to bring that program back to prominence in the Mountain West Chris Klieman now at k-state and hence was he said I'll never forget that weekend she was offered the job accepted the job pass is complete to kin door the sophomore tight end from Minnesota taking down by Tyrell Thomas and really the exciting capper for that moment for him was when he came home and his son said what up head coach that was the biggest smile we saw from him yesterday but I think you got to remember too that he was kind of already gone ahead to Manhattan Kansas to be the defensive coordinator for Chris Klieman right he's like okay coach I can follow you but I want to see what happens here I want to see where what happens with the coaching opportunity possibly here at North Dakota State and I can tell you this the people here in Fargo they love coach they love his family they think he's the quarterback be the head coach for the next long long time for someone else pulls him from the FPS and part of the success too has been who he's kept around on his staff yeah a lot of it is guys who are blue played here right you want guys who understand the tradition who understand the pride right it's the Bison Brotherhood would you have those types of guys they they coach differently because it means more to it they're not just here just coaching for the next opportunity they coach him because they truly believe in it [Applause] Randy Hedberg the quarterbacks coach as well has been here for six years so he's seen some of the best quarterbacks they have a play of this level has already established himself as one of those with the way he's played this year winner of the Jerry Rice award given to the top freshman in FCS he cleaned up 116 first-place votes next-closest had only 14 and he's one of the finalists Final Four for the Walter Payton Award the top award given at the FCS level they're up 22 7 feeling good inside 4 minutes before they have and going for it here on 4th and 3 yeah and 4th and 3 what do you do I keep the ball in my quarterbacks hand to just mention all the accolades why not keep the ball in his hands there he is going to the line of scrimmage I think what the safety is checking to the right play [Applause] mouki the pullback for his out some space for some Running Room and Lance Authority with a rushing touchdown under his belt today as a rushing for his den I just said it he is free to do what he's free rein to check the play at the line of scrimmage he finds out where the safety is at and he goes away from him and that's why there's no one there he makes a guy miss in the hole that's one of the special aspects to his game that no one talks enough about he's got great wiggle for a guy 6-3 221 pounds their opening touchdown drive was a 12-play drive this is the 16th play of this Drive was passed a little bit behind Horace as he goes inside the 25-yard line the redshirt senior from Illinois what a journey he's been on started out at Western Michigan under pj fleck as a redshirt in 2015 went to the College of DuPage in Illinois in 2016 didn't play came here had an ACL injury in his first season missed 2017 and last year appeared in four games that is perseverance to find they have perseverance at the same time he's not an opportunity to really fill a part of the team in the park and get to a national title twenty-eight receptions on the year one of the outstanding pieces to this wide receiver playing a bigger role it explores just short of the first down marker on the run another slippery run from Lance I haven't talked about this offensive line enough but you look at Montana state's defense but just watch the blocking though up front it's a hat on a hat you get a couple pullers you get double teams and that time just tripped up a trip up their trail ants could have been in the endzone for another rushing touchdown [Music] we've got Kobe Johnson the Georgia native and true freshman taking the handoff from the backfield and it doesn't look like he's got enough makes it fourth down they're going for it this is good their thing today you got a nice little comfortable lead 20 to the 7 we talked about four-minute offense but they've had the ball longer than four minutes on this dry they don't want Montana State to have the ball again they want to take this thing into half increase their lead and feel comfortable about the second half making their way hopefully down to Frisco Texas and a couple weeks drives already gone more than seven minutes even if they don't get it here it's a long way to go and not a lot of time for Montana State another handoff in a stretch for the first down for Adam Cofield the redshirt junior from Missouri his dad a 10-year pro letting his time between the United States and Canada as a pro football player [Applause] we said Lance last year was the shadow of Easton stick the quarterback now with the Los Angeles chargers wherever he went so did Lance eager and willing to learn as he played in just two games a year ago he shakes his way back inside the 15 and a pile of strong bodies helped push him all the way down to the 7 yard line timeout stops the clock 30 seconds he just watched the legs no trail ends just watch his legs just watch it we've never stops them just keeps them going see see the leg drop this power power by the quarterback and that's that's not your running back that's your quarterback and we know what he can do with the arm if you have that kind of same passion that drive remember this is a redshirt freshman everybody this isn't a sophomores isn't a junior this isn't a senior that's why I said this team is really unique it's different it's not with Carson Wentz taking over as a junior it's not Brock Jensen the quarterback before Carson or even last year Easton stick this is a redshirt freshman everybody get a chance to know his name because he could be one of those next quarterbacks to be drafted to the NFL if we fast forward three to four seasons and his numbers have been amazing 25 touchdowns coming into this game no interceptions our research department they can find just about anything and they said that as far as the FBS level goes not sure about FCS but at the FBS level no quarterback has had a season with at least 25 passing touchdowns and no picks in the last 20 years my service academy right maybe army or Air Force Navy but Flynn they send it out why and that's another bison touchdown giving too porous we went from school to school to his final stop and now his final season the six yard grab makes it 28 to 7 on a punishing Drive that lasted nearly eight and a half minutes that was dominant from start to finish this was that just an easy throw anybody just go put a bet on the hat you're saying this my guy can beat your guy 101 Kapoor's beats his guy one-on-one pushes him into the end zone for a touchdown they've already gone for two once out of freshman from dumpling Ohio Griffin Pro so lines up for the extra point his ticker started the year as the backup their starter Jake Reinholds got hurt on the opening kickoff in the first game and COSO from a kicking family his brother Sam kicked at Bowling Green in Western Illinois he said Cincinnati this year dad played soccer at Syracuse where it is just look you got to the outside you got just got a tackle that's what this game is about tackling in the open field that's an easy throw for Lynch just throw it to the outside and let your guy just be your guy let him go out and make a play but it's the blocking of crimpers from the offensive lineman to the wide receivers we saw on the first drive with the game Cofield leading the way for trail int for a touchdown this truly is a bison Brotherhood all right the Bison Brotherhood is about what everybody pitching in everybody doing their part and you see it play after play after play is everybody rooting and pulling in the same direction what's it like to be a defender on the other side where the pressure trying to get to Lance has almost been non-existent is it frustrating when you just can't do what you've planned to do all week well I think you looked at last week's kind of game plan at Illinois State had defensively against North Dakota State and it was the pressure and the pressure but I think we give kudos to Tyler role so far in the first half having a great game plan getting the ball to the outside on the screen game but doing what using trained Lance's skill set throwing deep and also running up the middle so far so good so Lance has now guided them to 20 at 9 of points today 39 touchdowns he's turned it over once a fumble that he lost in game number one this year no picks and as a finalist for the Walter Payton Award the highest achievement you can earn at the FCS level it's the equivalent of the Heisman Trophy that went to LSU's joe furrow this year all of those stats and not just I circled that number zero he had a quarterback that protects the football doesn't pull it into harm's way Zoomer interceptions you trust that kid displays years years beyond his class just a redshirt freshman and amazingly about that award for all the success the Bison have had no player from this team has finished better than third in the voting couple of big sparks from Christian Watson back-to-back touches were touchdowns for the Bison of 29 to 7 at the half trip to the title game on the line after our timeout Matt berry Jesse Palmer of manual Acho have our halftime report [Music] again the number two seed maybe they'll see the number one seed at North Dakota State is still got a half to go here in Fargo with the Bison in control and they get the ball to start when we return [Music] back inside the Fargodome at the half 29 to 7 the number one seated baizen cruising through the first half with two more quarters to go glad you're back here with us inside my cousins Curt Morrison Olivia Decker reporting from the field this is shaping up to look like last year's North Dakota State Montana State win a 5210 final score in favor of the Bison yeah right now the Bison they're in full control because of the duo right the dynamic duo of the quarterback Trey lance and his wide receiver Christian Watson they've come in with a different balance of the attack it's been the running game involving the quarterback but it's been the explosive plays of christian Watson just getting him the football whether it's deep down the field was just handing the football if you get the ball to your best players and you give it to him you let him take over back-to-back touches at one point for Watson were explosive touchdown 75 yards 70 yards so this duo alone has done a bulk of the damage for North Dakota State go down to the field to check in with Olivia yeah Montana State head coach Jeff Cho told me we need to simplify we need to play fast and we need to get back to who we are that was his big message to his group at half time their run game has been their bread and butter all year and a big part of that has been Isiah Afon say he was their leading rusher last week tonight he just has one catch one touch total now at that 39 yard catch and Mad Ants on the North Dakota State side he's just really upset still about the big plays they allowed on Montana State one scoring drive you can tell the defensive coordinator and him is not gone guys that's why football coaches age so fast you can be a huge lead at halftime and you're still mad you've got to keep your foot on the gas you don't want to be that team to lose especially at home with a comfortable lead remember you've got to play well here and hopefully that carries over into a possible national championship appearance they didn't score a touchdown last week in their win against Illinois State first time they didn't score a touchdown at home since 2002 and already more first downs here in the first half than they had all game last week but offensive coordinator Tyler roll he said I stuck to my guns too much last week I should have adapted this week clearly they've done a better job North Dakota State won the toss they deferred so they get the fall here to start the second half overall what are the things the Bobcats need to do to get back in this game the first of all you need some stops on defense and it's eliminate the big play right it was the two big plays that really got the separation for North Dakota State in the first half our ten estate you cannot allow that to happen so what do you do stay on top that means you're gonna have to play about ten yards off because we've seen the speed of Watson you got to do that go top down and tackle should be fine the second down [Music] [Applause] the Bison go on offense Kobe Johnson the freshman out of the Greater Atlanta area with a 27 yard return he only had really division two offers coming out of high school they found him unheard all talking to all the offensive coordinator was just going through guys whose film impressed him and when he found out that he would be their only FCS offer they brought him on a visit his mom was all in and that's how a guy from Georgia ended up here any Upper Midwest that's recruiting by the way in 2019 don't go to huddle ya hu he'll by the way but just pull a tape up watch a guy that you should know within 5 players and he's a football player or not the answer the sideline for Cofield the redshirt junior running back I think the second half when you look at North Dakota State they got to keep their foot on the gas and what is that and it's still running the football still just getting first downs but I thought it was the drive to in the first half that was a deflating Drive for Montana State one because North Dakota State just controlled it on the ground they drain the clock and you couldn't get your offense back on the field you hope to do that again in the second half to really put his name away two of their touchdown drives alone combined to last more than 15 minutes of entire quarters worth of play arm tackle after arm tackle broken on that run it's a 17-yard to pick up for Cofield yeah it's just the blocking again the offensive line the front five that I call but you got to make sure you tackle a guy when you have the opportunity remember arm tackles don't get it done and when you don't get it I get a guy down what happens you get those five-yard runs that turns into 17 yard runs and now you got first downs and now the chains are moving it's about tackling my time as Montana State has not done the best of that today it's the same starting five on the offensive line all season when you get this deep into the postseason that type of a fact becomes even more rare because at the FCS level you have a postseason tournament yes whereas at the FBS level as we know we have the top four teams in the college football playoff and the entire Bowl series so there's a lot more of a beating than the body takes here in this portion of the season for North Dakota State they had 12 players who went through graduation yesterday not to mention for the coaching staffs it was signing day on Wednesday it's been an eventful week for the milk Dakota State staff and players and for the Bobcats as well Lance on the roll out sliding attempt is incomplete for Hunter Luebke the redshirt freshman fullback back after an injury kept him out last game and when you talk about the postseason structure the reason they're so far ahead of the rest of this field all FBS teams their earned postseason games here at home they have a premier and they get a buy most of the time because they're looser than the top seed so still that means they continue their season all the way through January this is the type of program they've built here especially over this last but what they don't do internally is talk about the winning school an opportunity to let speed express itself with Watson again unable to get the edge taken down by Tyrell Thomas the junior quarterback from Compton California a great pursuit by Montana state forcing hopefully which is a 4th down and hopefully North Dakota state's punting the football but you have to like that first drive to stop by Montana State rebuild from that building but also watch the fake here [Music] only three yards to get the first into plush territory a Wegner's punt it is caught at the 12 yard line [Music] [Applause] after a North Dakota State punt a rarity there up 29:7 here at third quarter winners of seven of the last eight FCS championships a run here at this level that began with Craig Bohl who's now the head coach at Wyoming from bowl it went to Chris Klieman now the head coach at Kansas State after four titles he turned things over to their current head coach Matt Entz the Waterloo Iowa native a perfect start to his head coaching career and his path Herick over the course of many years and different stops and coaching was always intertwined with Chris Klieman row Vig with the first down pass across the middle finds cassis you know you think about coach ensign his first opportunity as a head coach and you figure out like who do you lean on right who you lean on who do you talk to we don't Tuesdays every Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. he's got a phone call and that phone called those two Chris Klieman the head coach at Kansas State and each week they just talk a little ball and they talk a little about family and talk about life but it kind of puts into the structure of a game week having someone else that you can lean on for advice off to the edge an explosive run for a Fontaine they've been looking to get him going sophomore from Bellevue Washington who last week ran for 60 yards score on the opening drive takes it for 28 they're just hold it for me right here on the outside and Jacob Hadley to tie it in it just gets a nice little seal block gets a cut right in front and Evon say his first carry of the game can you believe that Mike number 22 a guy who last week had 196 yards gets his first opportunity to carry the football and turns it into a big game and had a passing touchdown last week too roving with a back foot for all still plenty of strength into it and incomplete is that sailed out of bounds over Cassius high school teammates with Notre Dame quarterback Ian book back at Oak Ridge High School in California and that a huge first playoff game 11 catches in a win against Albany the most in a playoff game in school history got the big player for me fons say but you got to turn this into points they've already taken a shot down the field but you need points on this drive a critical drive to start this half from Montana State [Applause] Nasus pursued tightly to the edge rather estes is the second time they've handed it off to him on the edge and it's third down and long third and long another situation again Tucker only they haven't asked him to do one get the ball down the field as much he's been throwing more to let the backs on third down safe passes this time guess what took a roving you got to find a wide receiver it they've got to find what the sticks are to keep these chains moving four-man rush has been the third down defense for North to stick North Dakota State what do they do here they bring just four pocket breaks down and robic goes down as well there was no time for him ever to survey his options there was nowhere it was just just watched the rush and I want you to watch Derek Tusker right up here up front boom he gets off but it's his rush Tucker roving feels that rush from the outside and what does he do he steps up but you step up until a crowd of hungry defensive bison ready to get him down to the ground so despite an explosive play from a fond sale mat drive the Bobcats come up empty but with great pursuit they pinned the Bison back deep inside the 10-yard line a long field as the Bison lead by 22 CAA FCS football championship brought to you by Little Caesars where you can order online and use pizza portal pickup [Music] North Dakota State their last loss November 4th of 2017 trying to get to the FCS title game and make it eight championships in the last nine years their quarterback Trey Lance the redshirt freshman has continued what has almost been a season of perfection he is a production machine whether he's running the football whether he's throwing it and I keep saying it everyone around here says he does not play he does not walk he does not talk like a redshirt freshman I think a lot of that goes back to Easton stick last year right the quarterback who led his team to a couple national titles winning his quarterback in FCS history and I think it was just trail ants going underneath his wing and learning and watching and studying and you're seeing it on full display today but there is a difference between being able to watch and learn and then stepping in and doing it so often what we see to look ahead right the military Bowl coming up later this sweeter next week between North Carolina and temple North Carolina has Sam Howell as their quarterback the great freshman but still makes mistakes at times and yet Lance since Game one snapped 16 has not given the ball away I think you gotta remember the redshirt year was beneficial for and I go back just to my playing career the redshirt year for a lot of guys is huge because one thing to go and play right away but it's one thing to learn how to be a college athlete how to study how to practice in back deep [Applause] but an 18-yard run keeps the chains moving from Cofield so Lance is just the latest in a string of successful quarterbacks that began with Brock Jensen on this title run here at the FCS level Carson Wentz who has a massive game tomorrow for the philadelphia against Dallas and then Easton stick who also finds himself in the NFL with the charger you know I look at that graphic right there and I think about on the FBS level where you look at Oklahoma right a team like that who's in the college football playoff but they've had to put three four different quarterbacks over the last four seasons become a North Dakota State they stick with one it's you win that job that's your job for the next three to four seasons and I think they have one they have one for the future in trail ends just his freshman year and a thing is you look at what he's done this year what's the encore make sure in the sophomore what's the encore as a junior possibly right now he's putting himself in some rarefied air great somewhat ridiculous to ask how do you get better you better that's the expectation it may not be possible to do better than what he's done this year second and six for the Bison alert QB draw Lance 13 for 16 now make it 14 of 17 on the first down completion what I love to hear too about this program as a whole whether its players on offense or defense you hear the word culture get thrown around a lot it's almost overused but when you can sustain this type of success the longest winning streak in FCS history at 35 games it doesn't come down to one person right because now it's been several coaches it's been several quarterbacks that we were told about multiple different players who have taken it upon themselves in the offseason to go into the team meeting rooms and show the other guys on film how to do stuff well it's the seniors right James Hendrix number six on defense it's those types of guys who've been around here who knows what the Bison way is all about it's about showing the guys who are behind you you know the younger players this offseason they understand what the streaks all about they may say hey you know what we're not worried about the street you know they know they we're well aware of it and they want to keep it going it's a pride thing and how do you become one of the best teams in all of FCS it's about getting the younger guys caught up and that's one of the things that they do so well here in Fargo they haven't trailed today and only one of the opponents on the course is at thirty five game winning streak has led them by more than one touchdown [Applause] [Music] while loose at the end of that play the Bobcats indicate possession is theirs the referees go human bloomin onion on this to peel away the layers and signal that Montana State has recovered the football at the 45 yard line yeah it was junior defensive tackle chase Vincent number 50 he's right there in the middle and just watch the arm up number 50 right in the middle of your screen he's fighting off the double-team but just sometimes you just got to stick a paw out you find the ball here you stick the paw out knocks it out that's an outstanding job by Benson fighting off a double-team locating the ball carrier and taking a swipe at the football getting it back to his office can they make inroads against the Bison defense that has held almost about a yard for rush under what their season average has been seventh an FCS and a but almost six yards a rush and they're under five today so right now you've got an opportunity to just take a shot at the end zone okay if your Montana State what do you do in a situation you got to go out and try to take a shot at the end zone so you have to go back to before Halloween was the last time that North Dakota State turned it over and there's been no indication of any replay review yet the teams are huddled along the sidelines somewhat puzzlingly yeah there's a lot going on here right now a lot of nothing not enough 708 to go here third quarter inside the Fargodome in Fargo North Dakota the first of two FCS semifinal games today along with Kirk Morrison and Olivia Decker I'm Mike cousins second game today we'll see weber state its first semifinal appearance against James Madison on a 13 game winning streak J mu the only team in the seven out of eight title run span for North Dakota State the only other team to win a title in that stretch after the fumble recovery first and ten from the North Dakota State 45 for the Bobcats first down handoff for a fun say who's first half usage was limited and he's got me going here in his center yanno carries in the first half but he's definitely said you know what coach give me the football give me the opportunities you saw what I did last week on the road basically just give me the football again and what are you seeing and seeing a guy there right now in the second half kind of putting matters into his own hands ro Vic the quarterback just 3 for 9 for 46 yards a one safety look from the Bison robic going deep exactly what you call for Kirk and the pass is complete to Kevin cassis a 41-yard touchdown and given a burst of life to Montana staying here in the third quarter Mike they needed a big play they needed the big play and usually do it right after a turnover but I said it you get one-on-one my best receiver one of my best on a safety come on I got a big thing and Tucker robic saw the matchup just put it out there so I'll set in play by cast is just out running the safety James Hendricks [Music] the extra point from Bailey is good it's down to a two possession game the fumble leads to a score well we know North Dakota State they usually take care of the football but what happens it's on the ground Montana state picks it up then they talk us for a touchdown we've got a game here in Fargo [Music] [Applause] [Music] Montana State now back on the board with a beautiful touchdown pass by quarterback Tucker Roe big you know when they were down 29 7 that was not the most adversity this young man has seen when he was just five years old he survived an avalanche that hit his family home in Idaho well it killed his grandparents upon contact who were just downstairs his mother protecting her two children under a comforter as 15 feet of snow piled up outside their front door you know the night before this awful tragedy struck his family Tucker asked his grandfather to make him a sword in his woodshop it still hangs in his bedroom written on it his grandfather wrote Tucker the fearless and indeed Olivia that's what he's been today of leading this team not an optimal start for the Bobcats trying to avenge a 52 to 10 defeat at the hands of North Dakota State last year and a guy who was not their starter to begin this season lost out on the starting job to KC Baumann the redshirt freshman from Washington roving from Meridian Idaho and it's stories of perseverance like that that make performance on the highest level of athletics like this even more impressive yeah and I think we could talk to coach Jeff Choate and I say what went into the decision to go with Tucker over KC it was that Kasey just wasn't making the routine plays consistently and Tucker robic who's been in the program and head starts before what with the now touchdown throw on the last ride Kirk this drive has the potential to be pivotal in this game we saw two scoring drives in the first half by the Bison seven minutes eight minutes respectively or thereabouts they just had their first turnover since before Halloween October 26 another stop here from Montana State and a score all of a sudden you've got a one possession game well I said it Montana State has to do what just eliminate the big play it was the two big plays by Watson the touchdown catch and also the reverse RAM for a touchdown you take those out you're forcing North Dakota State to have to drive do something they have not done that first drive at the opening game you know the game in the open they'll have about a third down and five coming up here the very stout rushing defense for Montana State ninth and FCS tops in the Big Sky 107 yards a game and third and five the Bison have shown the ability to run or pass in this situation adept at bold yeah we just saw 37 right there on the screen Bryce Turk you haven't called his name much but he's gonna have to wake up here on this third down try to get this North Dakota State team off the field all sorts of time for Lancers on the move set his feet and now comes back across the field he huge downfield this pass is completed Demetri Williams streaking up the sideline and gone a broken play becomes one of the biggest of the day a 73-yard touchdown from Lance to Williams Mike we see this so many times on Sunday so in the National Football League where quarterbacks they have nothing and they make something out of nothing just watch the poise in the pocket does he ever look rush no he just why he why's he buys time and finds an open wide receiver and running back and Demetri Williams for a touchdown just understand there was nothing there for tre Lance but just the poise in the pocket by the redshirt freshman and keeping his eyes downfield for a touchdown throw Kirk you mentioned play on Sundays you watch the NFL every week with the Rams on their radio work if you're gonna compare that play to a quarterback in the league right now who's the best comparison to me that looked very Patrick mahomes ish right you look at especially the body type 6-3 221 trail ants but just watch his eyes throughout the plays as he kept the eyes downfield understood where the rush was but just bought himself enough time to get the ball down the field that is all treatments that play yeah you look at the sidelines oh hey little little Michael Jordan what role players is back in the day but that's why he's one of the best players in all of FCS and remember just a redshirt freshman I cannot say that enough because the people down here in Fargo are seeing something now that they could be seen for a long time he just took you the headset from the backup quarterback Zeb Nolan the transfer from Iowa State but with the way Lance plays there is no reason to ever take him off the field he's got his team at 36 points right now they only averaged only 38 points a game seventh best in FCS and they're on track to surpass that by a good amount but you think about like you mentioned Mike how critical that down was a third down play you get the sack you're off the field you should give up the touchdown and Wow look at that 36 14 and Lance is a great runner even he could have well taken off and probably gotten this first down but keeps it alive by looking downfield yeah but just watch right here that's what you're looking at Demetri Williams he gets lost because of what everybody's doing what everybody's watching and guarding their coverage but watch the attempt by trail ends to do what it was the opportunity for him to have to run but just watch at the end there was Christian Watson number one with the key block we talked about Christian Watson not only being a game breaker but also helping out his friends I talked about the Bison Brotherhood bison Brotherhood blocking helping each other out Johnson with the catch slipped one tackle and picks up about 10 and a half on first downs Wow just a critical moment in the game alright you Circle those moments and say the game's imbalance right Montana state opportunity to get off the field and now we're gonna have to throw their way back into this game roll big steps up pressured from behind hit as he flings it downfield and it's incomplete tony pierced the redshirt freshman defensive end made life difficult for robic there right before the release this is that time in a game now and you get that obvious passing situation right oh yes and start getting your best defensive brush pass push moves start throwing them out there I thought you were going on base plus slugging percentage there no it o pious third down and one from Montana State Infante in the backfield maybe a hand this off to 22 and that's Infante 510 202 to get you a yarn and robic comes out to go wide timeout North Dakota State the FCS champion will be crowned January 11th in Frisco Texas on ABC at noon for more information visit ncaa.com the official online home for all 90 and c-double-a championships it's Christmas movie time it is 36 14 332 to go third quarter there are enough bison fans who are confident at the beginning of the season that they start buying tickets for Frisco very early and if you're a little worried about having a hotel reservation or a seat in the stadium they can feel good right now still plenty to play the replay booth taking a second look at this to see if the catch was made along the sidelines you need indisputable video evidence to overturn the call on the field of a catch man just from the looks that we have up here I don't see anything that would take me away from saying that that was not a catch I think Travis Johnson done a good job call has confirmed roving and long right up the middle after they had split him out wide forcing the time out by North Dakota State House I feel a little bit earlier before the game and kind of like the matchup right I like to look quarterback down a little bit Tucker robux big quarterback 65 220 no you're not playing anymore right I know just still got to look at this quarterbacks right but he's got a nice built to him and you saw that 220 pound body push forward for first down [Applause] four-man rush and an eager defense marques bridges the senior from Minneapolis waiting to make the tackle even four-man pressure has been quite effective in getting to the quarterback yeah because you got depth along the defensive front well you can throw waves out there right we are in the Great North Midwest how we want to call it because we're in hockey country as well and so you're starting to see wine changes right you see the blue line and the red line and the white line it keep coming out in waves when you have that many rushes that can you could throw out there the brush pass rush never seems to die down I take it you won't be doing analysis for hockey anytime soon why did you set us up for this coming down which is gonna be another big turd it's another power play situation for the North Dakota State offense Mike as they get to third and long which is where they like to feast in these types of situations now they bring in their Russian they bring in their fast package of Russia's number 91 Derek tusk has been the guy along that four-man rush he'll be at the top of the screen here's tusk oh right here that's the guy if you're Montana steak you got to block him first to create havoc all day just a four-man rush they double Tusker pass to the sticks is caught and Johnson after his momentum took him behind the chains moves them with a gain of 11 you mentioned it Mike they started with the double team of Tusker they got him blocked first which gave Tucker robucket enough time to deliver the football remember Travis Johnson is their best offensive weapon they got to find ways to get him the football more whether it's throwing to him or getting the ball direct snap to him the ball has to be and number Ten's hands after a brick wall was the initial greeter of Logan Jones the senior plows forward for a pickup of three on first half [Applause] only on this Drive has Montana state eclipsed 100 yards on the ground just 221 yards on the day compared to 464 North Dakota State on the ninth play of this Drive the completion is quickly undercut to Jacob Hadleys first catch of the year for the tight end continuing their longest drive of the afternoon here inside the Fargodome North Dakota State playing a lot of cover to now they're keeping the two safeties high and they're giving up the flats that's why you're seeing Tucker roaming have to kind of check it down they're throwing to the flats because it's wide open they're not going to give up another deep pass and play for a touchdown North Dakota State [Applause] and the third quarter is over with the crowd surging behind the green and gold 3614 in this FCS semifinal big plays have defined the day for the Bison a quarter away from returning to the FCS championship game in Frisco Texas in January North Dakota State 36 Montana State 14 with 15 minutes to play here in Fargo North Dakota final home game of the year for this team that has won 27 straight at home the longest active streak FPS or FCS and trying to make it 36 consecutive victories the longest streak at this level winners of seven of the last eight national championships the winner of this game faces either James Madison or Weber State two crucial third down to keep this drive alive from Montana State they progressed forward just one yard so fourth down and five and it's four down territory for the rest of the game poor down territory but on the last play on third down your throat to a four yard rout those a catch and run element but you remember North Dakota State only rushing for so they're dropping 17 to coverage they are daring Tucker robic to throw the that's why they converged fourth down again I could not stress enough that is the to watch Derek Tusker again [Applause] the rest comes quickly Tusker put the Sakata to turn over on downs the Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year the team's sack leader gets his team the ball back that's the guy I circled right before the play if you want to do anything on offense you better make sure you block mister Tusker the senior with another sack today on ESPN the college football playoff semifinals Heisman winner Joe burrow whose dad Jimmy once was the defensive coordinator here for the Bison LSU take on Oklahoma eight Eastern number two Ohio State third ranked Clemson the teams that each have chips on their respective shoulders the PlayStation Fiesta ball Derrick tusko at the sack to end that drive the Warner South Dakota native not only does he have his pilot's license but David bran the defensive coordinator said one day his hope is to perhaps moved to Alaska as he loves to hunt he loves to fish one of the Renaissance men they've called him along this defense and certainly statistically emotionally the Bison felt comfortable they've got a feeling even better now little air to start this Drive speeding up the sideline the freshman Kobe Johnson goes for 44 this is the true freshman and you come to a program like this you got to be exceptional and Kobe Johnson one of those exceptional players as as finds room to the outside it just turns on the speed young bucks they really didn't recruit him until December of his senior year he visited inside in February was a guy who only had division two offers now finds himself among one of the best teams and programs of this decade Lance on the right he stretches and he airs in another rushing touchdown for number five Mike this is almost a carbon copy of touchdown number one of the game let's get a little freeze here as you watch it pull its trail ants and it just makes guys miss that's all it is guys are there in the hole to try to tackle them but minutes the rout is on here in Fargo they're lined up for another trick play for a two-point conversion trying to get it to Cody mock again who caught one earlier in the game the pass is incomplete from James Hendricks leading the way is the backs 18 Adam Cofield leading the way but trail ends fans and make them dance [Music] the Bison faithful bought every ticket in this building by the middle of the week they're thinking about a nice warm trip down to Lone Star State next month North Dakota State if they win on to the championship game January 11th on ABC 6:30 tonight Eastern Time on ESPNU number to see James Madison which has been dominant in the postseason and won by 45 last week shut out Northern Iowa on a 13

Peterson coaches his final game at least in Washington anyway his Huskies take on his former team 19th ranked Boise State in the Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl 7:30 Eastern 4:30 Pacific on ABC also live on the ESPN app Boise State a team that went through three different quarterbacks this year they were in the hunt for that top group of five spot but lost out to Memphis [Applause] final score of the Montana State North Dakota State postseason game last year was 52 to 10 Montana State head coach Jeff Choate said he didn't feel like they prepared enough fella they were complacent happy to be just where they were and as Olivia reported early in this game they didn't want any type of special send-off Choate said do we get that one win to play Northern Colorado no we want this game to be exactly the same we've been in the building we've been in the locker rooms before and yet they're on pace for a similar result here trying to stop one of the best programs in the country [Applause] it's a first down run for if Hudson and that's something the second half they've made an emphasis of giving it to Yvonne say they didn't do that enough and the first half and a lot of it was because they got down quickly the two big plays and if you start to look back at this game I know coach Cho will after these games over he's going to say it was that second quarter the second quarter is really what doomed us as they came up the big plays that kind of stretched the lead a little bit but now they get him back to their identity and that's upon say in this run game [Applause] roving with a wobbling down the middle and it's intercepted he'll come the Bison toward midfield and the rout is on inside the Fargodome Michel Tutsi with his team leading 7th interception of the year had one last week and returns this one for 33 yards and just basically let the rush the rush gets there and he peels that Tucker olmec pills it just throws it up and they just throw it up that's one of the bad things that you can ever do especially with this were to Mystic North Dakota State defense that's just almost a pop fly and that time Michael touched he's playing center field and just picks that one off just trying to make something happen there and there's just nothing here either you throw the football away but should never throw it across the field that's just asking for trouble [Music] and to the bison with a short feel at the most 15 on first down for ty Brooks the native of Fargo from Fargo South High School they brought him in as a corner he moved to wide receiver and finally at running back and Tyler roll the offensive coordinator said for all he's been through in his life to see him graduate college was a huge milestone for him I was Hugh is I had a chance to catch up with ty Brooks right before the game he basically told me you gotta get on him early we got a jump on them early make them quit make them kind of imposed their will North Dakota State and so far we've seen that in this game [Music] so Lance this season 41 touchdowns no interceptions his only fumbled the ball three times this year and the only one they lost was on the 16th snap of the season in the first hand back on August 31st he's just one turnover for a redshirt freshman quarterback this is unbelievable this the way that he takes care of the ball that you trust him alright Matt Entz you trust a guy to put the ball in his hands especially right now and try to put the game away and you're God and there's really not a great basis for comparison for how good he's been with the ball how efficient he's been you maybe can't find it at the FCS level but to go back in FBS the last 20 years there has never been a quarterback to have when he had coming into today 25 now 28 passing touchdowns and no interceptions we don't give this offensive line and of credit as well they've just been great blocking up the front opening holes and we know down here has been trail ance territory of him holding on to the football and scoring touchdown they've been blocking well all day as incomplete and that's only the fifth incomplete pass of the day for Lance but yet this offense has run only ten more plays than the Bobcats and they've amassed 313 more yards a lot of times just a big play though right it's the big play we saw it on the last Drive it's tre Lance in the pocket buying time for one down the field and Montana State just hasn't had not today had the big plays of which they had a week ago versus Austin Green [Applause] three trips to the red zone three touchdowns that was another hopeful point for the offense and Tyler roll the offensive coordinator because watching last week's game when you start the film you know what the final score is going to be you know they don't score a touchdown but they got into the end zone into the red zone so many times and had never were able to punch it in yeah they kick three field goals alright just three field goals and he looked at each other for the next day and said you know what fellas I've put too much on your plate we just got to go out and play our game and the matchups have been there and they've taken full advantage of [Applause] and then a turf monster appearance to breakdown Cofield you just saw Tyler roll the offensive coordinator up in the booth he Matt Entz and David Braun all have very formidable beards I said you got to be a you got to have a beard in order to be a coach here at North Dakota State they got some nice beard you said it starts with no she's a member yeah and it goes all the way into they lose a football game right now I don't know if this team's probably gonna lose issue the freshmen crosa sends it wide no good from 26 tonight after the rnl carriers New Orleans Bowl over on ESPN stick around for SportsCenter the loud fills Patriots most in coverage highlights and reactions from the Rams 49ers game Garoppolo versus scoff for playoff positioning and postgame reactions from all of today's college football bowl games SportsCenter tonight on ESPN and ESPN app Rams Niners what you got girl oh man a huge game in the NFC West Niners they need to win out in order to get probably the number one seed in the NFC Seattle won in this world eat something and the Bison defense looming large protecting this 42 to 14 lead Spencer way G in on it yeah way G over there playing a nice little swan song there but he's one of the second groups right he's the second wave of defensive linemen that come in to rush the passer I talked about the depth along the defensive front and you're seeing it here it's just they keep coming at you in waves in a way that we never really can take a deep breath well there's probably a lot of heavy breathing for those in white uniforms but certainly not relaxed deep breathing for the Bobcats once again it's a swarming pile of green and gold to punish Isiah Fonseca [Music] third and 13 is this where they don't want to be it I know we're in a point in the game where it's either Now or Never now as many scores as they are but even still it starts with blocking up front and they keep this defensive front from getting to Roble they delayed the handoff as the defense was rushing as if it were going to be a passing play logan Jones makes it fourth down in about two and a lot easier to feel comfortable going on fourth down rather than if they were behind the chains well I think they're all in right here right this is the game for Montana State if they decide to go for it now I see the punch of it run out on the field you always have defensive safe on right now safe punt make sure that they kick it you think they should go for it here down 42 14 I honestly believe so I'm a little surprised at this move here by coach Choate it's situation for me and then I just go for it I got about six minutes left on the clock six and a half I would go for well here's the fake so they do go for it from the punt formation and just by a yard they get it as well they called on r.j. Fitzgerald the fullback with his first carry of this season and that was a huge one yeah I take that back okay it starts right here with the blocking up front and then Fitzgerald on the right they hand off the ball to it with direct snap to him and he gets the first down so I took it back coach did go for he just did it sort of an unconventional way did it with the punting unit I would have lined up and ran my best offensive play but I think the numbers are in their favor when you do it that way in terms of putting the punting unit out there [Applause] so there's still life on this possession Jones slips a couple and picks up seven on first down you got to go all in this is the last drive that you feel that if you can get points then hopefully you get a stop and those things you're never out of it so I never look at the score right this is the one thing they talked about last year's game right we ran almost just happy to be there but that was last year that's this year you got to keep fighting triple zeros on the clock is where we stop but you got to keep going that's what they've learned Johnson the Wildcat quarterback lined up to run right behind the fullback Fitzgerald let's go down to Olivia yeah coach Toth just basically said his team was playing in desperation mode they wanted this batter they didn't want this season to end and they were giving it everything he got we mentioned at the top and then you mentioned again this fan send-off in his words exactly where they can greet us with a win when we get home so they really expected more out of their group tonight they've got a third down and two [Applause] another first gown showed linebacker at Montana Western started his coaching career at Utah State at the college level he's worked at Boise State Washington State UTEP Florida Washington all before coming here to be a head coach and he said the program that he would compare best to the Bison his Boise State because coach after Coates year after year quarterback after quarterback they are still eminently successful it goes back to the word you used earlier in describing this program ball is lower social cultural culture at the 45-yard line and montana state fortunate to fall on top of it just a mishandled by the quarterback started with a low snap and then with the low snaps trying to get the ball door you can handle it that's an unforced error but Montana state keeps football for being down as much as they are they're using a lot of clock here blitz off the edge is countered by a run out committal on second down to make you third in short when you talk about prolonged success we look back as the quarterback history during this dynastic run the Bison you've had three quarterbacks now four with Lance Boise State has been in a similar spot keeping quarterbacks for three or four years and now into a third head coach as well as Matt Entz in his debut season as a head coach is on the verge of improvement of 15 and ole had taken his team to the FCS title game under pressure there's coy Steele who makes the catch down inside the 30-yard line teams touchdown catch the leader has 21 yards they're the former walk-on and of Sheridan Wyoming nice little throw protection there sets his feet throws Tucker over 12 into Johnson [Music] just a little surprising that they spent as much time running the ball on this drive as they did now inside three minutes to go a lot of the time has been wound off on those running play I thought they would speed it up just a little bit but definitely they're almost kind of running out the clock and just showing some of the pride of his bobcat team has had great pretty much all season long we're getting to this semifinal game and it's just another building block for Coach Tom his football team [Applause] [Music] but 11 wins for this program this season the most for the Bobcats since 2012 however the streak will continue the Bison will extend their winning streak to 36 their home winning streak to 28 games and they'll play the winner of our other FCS semi-final game today from Harrisonburg Virginia 6:30 Eastern on ESPNU it'll be Weber State in their first FCS semi-final appearance against James Madison a team that's won 13 in a row since dropping their opener against West Virginia that's gonna be a fun matchup Mike really is fun matchup weber state outstanding defensive performance last week that's Montana you know juu right put submitting our share head coach but Mike Houston he took the East Carolina job but I think a lot of people think the collision course is North Dakota State JMU's I think that's what the consensus is the number one and number two teams in FCS the only other team during this eight-year run that's won the title yes that's what a lot of people may want to see but you're going to have to earn it North Dakota State right now today they've earned their shot they've earned their trip to Frisco Texas [Applause] robic his pass is tipped and incomplete off the hands of Jackson Browne the senior linebacker from Eau Claire Wisconsin yeah he only has it's hard to catch another Big Love like that he's riding the window which he only got one hand got the oven minute you got to slow it down with one he's looking at his mitts he's like if I had if only look at that big giant Club he's got right there I had two good mitts that would have been an interception [Applause] fourth-down Montana State a low snap for robic he recovers a sidearm throw complete to Johnson trying to stretch it out [Applause] he comes up short 30 seconds to go when we come back to the Fargodome the Bison will cap off their victory [Applause] a trip to North Texas awaits the North Dakota State bison Santa is delivering big-time presents and the Bison delivering a shower to Matt Entz along the sidelines the first year head coach who got the job one year one week and one day ago and will improve to a perfect 15 and oh with a kneeled down comes and said Nolan the backup quarterback it's to come on the field to finish it off and a chilly ending to what otherwise was a warm feeling throughout the afternoon as the Bison continue their longest winning streak in FCS history they're going to the championship game for the eighth time in the last nine years and they extend their home winning streak to 2020 over the course of this winning streak they've trailed for fewer than 5% of the minutes they've played today it was as close as seven seven after 0-0 Kirk what was the most impressive part of his win to you not to me it was his trail ants getting the chance to see him live and in person this kid is everything that they've talked about all season long another outstanding performance by trail ants the redshirt freshman let's go down to Olivia with head coach Matt Entz coach congratulations third straight trip for your team to the national championship but it's the first for you as head coach how do you had time to reflect on that probably not it'll probably sink in later tonight when I have a chance to let things kind of quiet down unbelievably excited for our 14 seniors this team just the buy-in was there since last January new staff everything and you know I don't know you you can't draw you can't make up a better story than what happened here this year you really can't in 15 and no coach with just one more to play what's top of mind of what this team has to do to continue this amazing fever first thing we need to do we need to continue to get healthy we continue to get better we're gonna have opportunity where we need to take a break from football and we're going to use Christmas as an opportunity to recharge our batteries but when we get back we're gonna cut the work up I promise you that what do you want for Christmas coach some peace and quiet and just a time to be with my family okay back to you Mike congratulations thank you fight through a curveball you're expecting the answer to be national championship no but certainly there's time to think about that after some time to lay low for a little bit and enjoy this 15th win of the year and 36 straight let's go back to Olivia I'm with redshirt freshman quarterback trail and who's now perfect 15 a no and has not thrown an interception still train everyone uses the word poise when they talk about you how would you describe how you've handled this season I just remember that I have great players around me I think the biggest thing is just being prepared my coaches put me in great situations to be successful that's the biggest thing I think for me and then I got some great players around as though it's fun to play what did you think as you had all these open targets you guys have all these explosive plays and making it look easy where you have fun absolutely nothing better you talked about the targets around you how do you describe how that receiving course come together as a seasons gone on and they've grown up a lot on and off the field I think those guys are just growing up you know just as men just fun good to be around interesting group of guys they're better they're always willing to work so it's a lot of fun I know the standard is to go to this championship game here every season but for you the first time what's it feel like it's super exciting I'm sure you can imagine you know just this is what we expected but it's a lot more fun just you know there's a lot of people I doubt in this out there to start the year but you're super thankful this for this opportunity thank you good luck thank you Mike Kirk they scored nine points last week this week 42 they're ready to go to Frisco and defend their national title and the other semifinal not long till that one kicks off from
