NCAAF 2019 Week 07 Northern Iowa vs North Dakota State

he's alive and I think the legs of each quarterback is going to be equally as important as their ability to throw the ball and keep plays alive and even run for important first downs on third down conversions well my final thought is on a guy who McIlvain is going to want to hit he's hit dion McShane the most of any other receiver but he is five foot nine 155 pounds and primarily will be guarded by Jabril cox the linebacker today he's 6-3 to 35 now McShane was an FBS track recruit so how's the linebacker going to stake and stay with him well we all know that Cox is the best athlete the Bison have that will be a very fun one to watch those two go at it today thank you guys we have spent most of the show talking about Northern Iowa's defense and how North Dakota State in Northern Iowa could be a good game on the defensive side of the ball but this game is about Northern Iowa's offense there are 90 eighth in the country in offense they've been super inconsistent if they're gonna get it done today they need to find some offense I just don't know where that comes from Kyle yeah hey thanks Ryan I completely agree with you look I think there's gonna be a closer to game than it really should be I think Northern Iowa plays well in the Fargodome this is a place where they're not really intimidated that's one team that can actually say that in the valley however I think it I think it will be close early on because of Northern Iowa's run defense I think they'll make it a little bit tough on NDSU's offense just because of how stingy they are up front but ultimately I just don't see them having enough offensively and I see NDSU running away with this game late definitely a huge bison win here today everybody's super quiet because Kyle was just actually flipping the coin and I don't know if he wanted for the Bison or not but Kyle good job our buddy you gave away the TV magic we did give away the TV no you gave away the TV first Kyle Kyle Emanuel honorary captain today for the Bison here on Homecoming we practice that quite a bit to the booth to Brian John and Lee Timmerman for today's call all right thanks so much Beth Alex and a special moment for Kyle Emanuel as well coming back to Fargo prava has a better analogy aragonite pollute that's what sparked part of the fun is LT is when it comes down to it but it is starting to fill in it is starting to feel now like the atmosphere might be okay here today oh I think so I think nd issues fans they understand that they have an opportunity to help their team it's worked in the past against teams in here and especially first time quarterbacks have had a tendency to struggle here coach Farley talked about that would be one of the big adjustments that McIlvain would have to deal with he says in fact here's the the quote I wrote down he says it's so much different playing there because of the crowd and the crowd noise and that the young man is going to have to deal with it he won't understand it until the first drive of the game and there are certainly some ties on the coaching staff Mad Ants a former assistant at Northern Iowa defensive coordinator David bra and came over from Northern Iowa after spending the last couple years on the Panther staff at the defensive line coach and the one thing we talked about coach Braun with is he knows their roster well because he had some special teams responsibilities that certainly helps in game planning on both sides football the Bison will have the football first during diners Matthew cook the true freshman out of Cedar Falls Iowa a walk-on who's been a real pleasant surprise nine of nine and field goals including a 50-yarder at Iowa State's boots this one away to the corner time Brooks puts on the brakes at it's 2 to the 10 to the 20 and Brooks takes a pretty good shot at the 23 yard line and finally wrapped up on the play by Alfonso soko in North Dakota State on offense at the 23 let's take a look at the starting lineup for North Dakota State sponsored by Scheels [Applause] trail is Marshall Minnesota Dylan ratings back to Minnesota awesome person shooting rolling Zach Johnson Spring Lake Park Minnesota Kordell volson belt for North Dakota Ben Ellefson Hawley Minnesota here in western Minnesota cyber it's fun with the coalition of Watson Tampa Florida Phoenix schools and I'm Cole Field a four-yard gain on first down North Dakota State we're going to try to control that middle early in the number one guy they have to control is Jared Brickman a junior 511 290 out of Iowa City it'll be very similar duties on what the the center and guards have to do last week against Ridgeway at Illinois State much of the same things carry over against Brinkman he's the nose tackle he's a junior 290 pounds 5 foot 11 trail Lance is going to keep it up the middle and laughs Kate on his feet and has a first down up to the 37 yard line before he is finally wrapped up on the play by eller sue Smith Lance has not done a ton of running the last couple of weeks but when he's been called upon he's been delivering it's been more of a specialty type of a situation with Lance in the running game today probably more a called and design runs for him between the 20s let's take a look at his numbers quarterback comparison sponsored by the North Dakota beef Commission funded by beef farmers and ranchers how about the efficiency as well for the Lance well the 15 last week dropping it off in the flat I Brooks tripped up five rice later after a gain of nine up to the 46 yard line let's called fib formation into the boundary look for the bison if the numbers and count is right for trail ants to do more plays into the boundary because a guy like Bryce flater who doesn't like to leave the box who was he guarding on that play he was guarding the running back that is an advantageous a set up for NDSU stretch play at this time will it be close to a first down but brought down short enough to help defensively there was Omar Brown the freshman corner out of Minneapolis the Northern Iowa defensive unit also sponsored by Scheels Briscoe larvik a guy that missed last season because it's an injury situation Austin Evans was the defensive back he's been moved into a linebacker role zaber Williams in all Valley corner and then butcher Brinkman Smith and Thomas before up front very good up front Northern Iowa third and one power game Cofield needed a yard he got what he needed up to the 48 and that'll move the chains and Larson Smith is an interesting guy when you look at him we were just saw him see him warming up without pads he looks like he should be playing basketball from Ben Jacobson a keyway high six seven kind of a slim 230 but plays with tremendous Bend and has real a good explosion off the end but did you see who the Bison just moved right there number 16 that's Smith India she thinks they can run at him today and gain some things in the on the ground because he is only 230 Lance play-action schools across the middle diving catch at the 34 yard line [Applause] we talked about land sell T 74% on the season and he's right on target here right up the seam you're picking off you can get it behind the linebackers and right in front of the safeties 10th catch of the year for Phoenix rolls of course his first touchdown catches a beauty remember that one at Target Field kind of laying out diving so if you're going to dive for the ball there's a good chance he's gonna come up with it Kobe Johnson in at tailback and you'll get the carry here on first and ten and Northern Iowa does a nice job stringing that thing out and it was Smith getting up field bubbling it out in the loss of one Austin Evans the outside linebacker as a sack end of interception this year for the Panthers but so far on the ground game number 16 right here that's a guy who is when it comes to rushing the quarterback he's the best of the FCS at second so far this year but the Bison want to grunt at him and they've been successful at him so far reaction for Lance down field [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you can see that open up before Lance even turned around with the ball scrolls had a blow I don't know who was supposed to get to him at the line of scrimmage but nobody did he was open on the back scene the Bison went three verticals no one even close on that half of the field looking at Phoenix Scrolls wide open good read by the freshman quarterback give him another touchdown pass North Dakota State getting in that two-point formation and Hendrix is gonna run it in for two [Applause] and that adds half select away his team is coming right out of the gates here and grab the momentum I like the mix it was a nice mix on that opening drive to some some some solid rushes you got an isolation on a linebacker in the passing game and then it just has to be a blown coverage for Coach Farley to the let's rolls beat that wide open three lamps came into this game with a quarterback rating of two or four point seven which is number one in the FCS who now has his 13th touchdown pass on the season he has yet to throw an interception and Phoenix rolls has the second of the season third of his career on the 36 yard strike no tack insurance company replay an inside release on Scrolls he was just let go safeties trying to catch back up no chance to do that that's a relatively easy rhiness and I tell you I'll bet you when Lance before soon as he let me go the ball three rotations out of his hand he was smiling because he knew he was that wide open after another Peterson farms he kickoff kickoff your planting season with Peterson pharmacy near catch made by Trevor Allen in the end zone and Northern Iowa's first possession will start at the 25-yard line well that was a beautiful drive by North Dakota say you would mention the variety that we have seen eight plays 77 yards in 357 let's take a look at the North Dakota State defense sponsored by shields Levin McCormick Kimberly Wisconsin both guardroom towns going to jack down champion Minnesota Norah's up you go cops can't see Missouri monkeys babies why patek see Indianapolis Indian James Hendricks Minnesota Trevor Alan his first carry for Northern Iowa 74 yards in a touchdown last week against Youngstown State dropped for a 2 yard game while we do see James Kaiser come in and play some will linebacker that's been something that defensive portator David Braun continues to toy with here by isn't playing the nickel right now McIlvain out of the shotgun he's going to take a shot deep weston made the adjustment but could not hang on to the football pretty good coverage from Josh Hayes but Weston one of those guys that is a big play receiver he leads the valley with 381 receiving yards and four touchdowns this season okay on the other side - Jalen James is also a big receiver that McIlvain will go to in 50/50 ball situation here are the numbers for McIlvain just the one interception a touchdown spots the North Dakota beef Commission funded by beef farmers and ranchers he's off to a pretty good start but sometimes we'll play a little backyard football will keep blaze alive with his legs and throw it downfield third and eight here for the redshirt freshman McIlvain fires across the middle high and going up to make the catch is number 37 Aaron Graham the senior out of Kansas City and that will move the chains for the Panthers fairly small window that he crams at one in Noatak insurance company replay this will be a pretty good look at it it's going to go right over the dropping linebacker and a hankie and in front of the safety Hays on a free release to the inside it's kind of what the Bison were given the Panthers connected will accounter action now to Allen he slips down after a gain of one Josh Hayes coming in from his quarter spot Tony Pierce really smashed down hard from his defensive end position number 90 for the Bison and just through the timing of that playoff just a little bit because the Panthers are trying to get a couple of pullers out in front of it McIlvain a clean pocket firing again and Jalen James makes the reception inside bison territory and he bolts upfield to the 37 yard line so a couple of nice passing plays here for the Panthers to get in bison territory McIlvain started as as a walk-on but babe at the end of last year he was already on scholarship so they have a pretty good idea he was gonna win a job here is the starting lineup sponsored by Scheels Jaden Scott in a tight end the top two tight ends for you and I are Hertz Jordan Scott Brown known as the top offensive lineman a little arkeo action there for uni and grande makes his second reception and gains nine on first down exactly what it was our P o stands for run-pass option so McIlvain does not know where the ball is going to go before the play starts the defense is going to dictate where he goes with it the run wasn't there he pulled it fired it to the outside and when I can go no huddle here and pick up the tempo not a lot of room but enough for a first down as Tyler Houston gets his first carry of the day to the 25-yard line Logan McCormick being on the tackle Josh Hayes has to hit at the sideline after he lost his helmet now you and I generally has a three running back rotation Allen's carried it Houston's carried it we will also see Alfonso soko end the game at times today as well those are the three guys that have carried the ball this year outside its quarterback keeps for you and I McIlvain flushed out carts giving chase and McElveen wisely just throws it away that'll bring up second intend that's one extra thing that gold carts brings to the table that most defensive tackle stone he's got a burst of speed remember he came here as a defensive end and he can move those feet pretty well was able to get some size move inside and then most of the time a quarterback will just pull away from a defensive tackle or a nose guard but not in that particular instance because karch has good wheels it's one area McIlvain will get in trouble sometimes and hanging on with a football too long I was able to get rid of it there not a lot of room initially up the middle good job by James Kaiser coming in to take down Trevor Allen well maybe a half yard game you talked about poll carts and ran into them downstairs on Tuesday peanut butter jelly sandwich that's a goal lot so what are you doing he goes well I have to get about four of these a day just to keep my weight up to 270 goes when I'm not hungry I still have to keep throated long for you and I Anthea 5y bison brain pressure Jabril Cox Skippy Chase McElveen gets rid of it but he is off target looking for Trevor Allen incomplete will bring up fourth down show your bison pride today with an NDSU gate city bank ATM and debit card visited city dot bank slash my card gate city bank or a better way of life member FDIC as I say Jabril Cox's gave up on the coverage and used the speed he was not touched there was no running back in the backfield to try to pick him up which allowed him a free release on the quarterback Matthew cook on for a 42-yard attempts he has already made three field goals over 40 yards this season cook puts the boot to it it is no good his first Miss of the season nine of nine coming in but is wide to the right and you and I ends up with nothing 704 to go in the first quarter North Dakota State leads eight nothing on the ant country Farm Credit Services scoreboard time now for the gate city bank fancam sent us her Homer watch party pics to fan cam your cam and we'll show them at the fourth quarter at is he fan cam at core cam mats and another keeper has good yardage up to the 38 yard line gain of 13 one of the things the Bison wanted to see and we've talked about Allison Smith is how much Smith wanted to get involved in the running game especially through the a gap that time he was a little plated a little bit soft the Bisons took advantage of real nice pull from 68 the preseason all-american Zach Johnson up front that's already 23 rushing yards in addition at the 62 passing yards you will throw it here and that ball is batted up in the air and it drops harmlessly I believe you got the 28 yard line there's finally an incompletion signal made by the official trying to look for a little quick hitter on the on the outside off to his left the defense is right Mison tried to run a little X pattern in a little scrub pattern but nobody was able to are the Panthers were able to get through it cleanly and Lance's first two needs were taken away and plus it was a short drop so he knew that he was running out of time rolls emotion inside give to ty Brooks boy uni all over that planet Smith again diving inside for a loss of one well that's what I was talking about though on the quarterback run Smith was really soft on it no doubt concerns company replay this will come right at you 16 comes down this time being very aggressive in the run game so maybe an adjustment that you and I made within this drive whether Ellis and Smith in his last eight games 12 and a half sacks 16 tackles for loss coming in that's very disruptive what else has he done you and I trying to bring some pressure Lance scoops away throwing on the run looking for Christian Watson but good coverage on the play there from Roosevelt Lawrence this last week's game against Youngstown State and the Bison will have to punt it away let's pause for a quick message from total scene toe bald seed offers the latest in seed thing in technology to ensure your crops full potential toboe seed also contracts produces and supplies the finest quality non-gmo soybeans to food manufacturers around the globe towboat seed grow with us Garret Wegner on for his first punt of today Wigner with hot hold next five months drive to the terminal all the way back to zone 12 yard oh man fair catch was made by Xavier Williams of you and I backed up to his own 13 yard line for what second possession trailing 8 nothing on the egg country Farm Credit Services scoreboard back [Applause] 5:48 go in the first quarter in order to go to state meeting eat nothing more than I was second offensive possession starts from the 13 McIlvain plenty of time in the pocket now going to unload it behind its intended man and it drops incomplete Jalen James tries to make the adjustment and James wanting a flag with Hayes and coverage and no flag comes no that concerns company replay McIlvain is going to stand in here and take a pretty good to hit but this is a pass pattern that takes a very long time to develop it was a left side pattern across all the way across the field of the outside hash on the other side and he is able to win the battle of the hands when the ball got there McIlvain firing on the slant James Hendricks in there to break it up James again the intended target will bring up throat and long that play has been so successful this year for you and I that that RP oh look zone Reid look into the slam he's really he's going to on the replay fakes the run and then you fired the slant James the safety reason comes down hard and what NDSU safeties and he backs have been so well this year hit in the proper to position to have their lead hand knocked the ball away emotion McIlvain hits is the ball live Mel incomplete was witty porn official just make a signal as Jabril Cox came hard on the Blitz again and a three and out for the Panthers the knack insurance company replay the Panthers are trying to catch the Bison in a scream game here comes Jabril Cox gets a hand on him but about half the Bison went for the the quarterback the other half read his screen very very well there was no place for that ball to go at all and we've seen the athleticism in the speed of Jabril Cox a couple of times coming on blitzes Northern Iowa will boot this one away Zach Kibby on low wobble and take a northern I will hop at the 41 and then come to a stop at the 43-yard line so North Dakota State great field position leading ain't nothing when he come back to the Fargodome [Music] set up on a short field years from when I 44 yard line leading ain't nothing Brookes patient run stays on his feet finally bang down by a couple of Panthers after gain of four to the 40 yard line Cristiano Jigen getting in on that stop for you and I - Jensen with a fine job on Tim butcher number 94 that was a pretty good battle between those two and Jensen wanted for G it's an interesting guy - oh he was a running back a couple years ago before that was a wide receiver now his safety [Applause] balls from the full-back here and will lead the way for ty Brooks bouncing it out cutting it up Brooks almost snuck away Austin Evans makes the tackle but Brooks has an upper a first down to the 32 yard line great job by Noah Gondar setting the edge by building or refinancing start with again CT Bank blue standard pre-approval and experience better home loan get started today at gate city bank for a better way of life remember FDIC Equal Housing lender isin continue to run toward Smith's side wherever he's been setting up and the issues has a physical advantage in the run game and it's been working Cole field finding a crease in a whole roles of what Lawrence may have saved a touchdown still he'll pick up a four yard a that was well blocked on the left side beautiful slant really smashing down the whole right side of that bison offensive line Zach jobs Kordell Coulson they they're swallowing up these guys heading this way and so the only guy left there was number one if he doesn't make that tackle it is a touchdown so you're right Lawrence definitely saved six points Lawrence again didn't miss last week able to come back from injury Lance is gonna keep it again through a hole laughs he has taken a knee down again by Lawrence maybe a half yard short of a first down will bring up third and short this was a more difficult tackle from Roosevelt because he was he was had Phoenix rolls one of the better wide receiver blockers on him and he's able to play off that block and I believe it was a concussion system a symptom thing for Lawrence and the reason he was held out last week senior defensive back from Tampa Florida played a couple years at Iowa Central Community College third and very short for North Dakota State the Bison over 54% this season third down and Cofield hasn't tip toeing around a man and then stacked up across the 20 at the 19 yard line this game toefield leading the team in rushing attempts have been a work force especially in the short yardage situations yeah his finishes in the Bison all the Bison running backs are pretty good at it but I think he's the best at keeping his pad level in high contact situations in the proper spot the proper lead to absorb those blows and keep going forward [Applause] that's puts Babbage in motion in our play action Lance is going to go to the endzone yeah [Applause] we have seen Christian Watson to urge this year Kodak insurance company replay back in the endzone yet the tunnel screen beautiful rug let's meet for the touchdown there's that one right foot goes down and the Bison score six Christian Watson had his first career touchdown reception last week against Illinois State and now has his second early here in the contest against Northern Iowa beautiful throw from Lance and last week was that 45 yard catch and then run throw so wilkani in Griffin Crozier continues to be perfect at extra points now a 25 out of 20 in the gun career for the true freshman out of powell ohio then the last decade or so what just happened there is what NDSU has been so good at your defense gives your offense a short feel that when the Bison have a short field they make their opponents pay this time it's a seven-point North Dakota State on the end of this game LT one of only two teams that ranked in the top ten - both threw down offense some percentage and third out defensive percentage and it's because of how efficient they are in all phases that you see it right there if college ball remember you only need one foot down and bounce Watson makes the catch has his right foot come down and it's high-fives and smiles time twenty three possessions 18 touchdowns on the red zone for North Dakota State six plays 44 yards as Watson hauls it in from 19 yards out and the touchdown stat just keeps getting wider and a wire to NDSU now has outscored their opponents only in touchdowns twenty nine to five sometimes goes overlooked the North Dakota State is on 11th in the FCS in total offense other Peterson pharmacies kickoff kickoff your planting season when Peterson they get about the 19 yard line raid special teams tackle it looked like that was what dark stick doing with our sect the true freshman coming in to make me tackle [Music] talk about a stuck together true freshman 4-6 6-3 12 through out of neighborhood yeah would our cig coping Johnson a couple of freshmen internet the Bison are not playing with this four-game rule with these guys they're playing every game they're playing all year long with Darcy bridges ability on special teams is why there is not a shirt ahead in this year punching things up on the line of scrimmage on first down Allen met in the hole Falls ahead for a gain of two Cole parks was the first man there for North Dakota State so it was Logan mcCormick there to help as well but I really liked on the plane Nicholas number 71 he's a junior listed for 325 pounds well he's gone up against Derrick Tuscan Tusker has to make sure as they say set the edge don't allow that to bounce out force it inside he took down the big 325 guy and the play went right back to where the Bison had phil McIlvain under pressure again trying to get away any cats Tusker finished him off had some help from his friends and parks was also in there to put the heat on loons metonym tighter space but similar to a second Tusker had last week because Brady Davis where he forces him to the outside the quarterback that makes it hey I can escape that way and tusk is right there to make the sack once again the top 10 in the FCS in total sacks and this Smith has had a lot of the plug but Derrick Tusker that's sack number 6 in the 22 of his career and throw along again fries and bring in heats McIlvain hanging in there Weston is open puts on the brakes and makes the catch Weston beating Josh Hayes down to the 39 yard line and a big play there for Northern Iowa those types of plays are an absolute must for you and I to have success today no - Mutual Insurance replay you see Hayes lost his footing just a little bit before Josh can get back up the ball is already there and he's playing catch-up in McIlvain has a pretty good arm and he's not afraid at all to put the ball into a 50/50 situation for a yard gain there on third and long the first carry of the day for so cold Alfonso sylco a sophomore of Muscatine Iowa she's a handful of carries game Guzman has over when has the boasts yeah behind man Alan is still good to get the most but then SOPA had a few more in the first couple of games whose ones had a a few more in the last couple of games so they're kind of even an out those Russian towns and that'll take us to the end of the first quarter North Dakota states to touch dives to touchdown passes one pot by Watson won by schools as Northern Iowa has driven inside North Dakota State Territory for the second time here today it is a winter wonderland outside folks have made their way where roads are open and it's nice and toasty there's a bar with nothing after one you're on the KBO Wi-Fi to get to the quarterback check out Derek Tusker with a nice swim move uses his speed to the outside then a little scrambled guerrilla drill in his hands and knees and he gets right back up into the base and then you do the nice thing you help McIlvain back up second and eight from the 38 for more than Iowa young McShane in motion and he does make the catch he's gonna throw it he's gonna fire it down feel the dinner stepped in James Hendricks makes the pitch down to the 46 yard line second of the season 11th of his career the insurance company replay I don't know what it looked like to the players but from up here it wasn't disguised as a as a second pass or a widening this case machine throwing the ball and James Hendrix was not pooled on the play at all James with his 11th career interception they're coming at now McIlvain is used to having somebody come at it but look at it that's go guard there no excuse me that's a key out there putting the pressure on McShane who is now thrown an interception while the trickeration has did not work that time from Northern Iowa in the buys a good field position again bouncing it outside looking for something because Brooks he's able to find a leader Daylights inside northern Iowa territory he gains five yards having a few words with Jim Butcher afterwards you could just tell on the feet from machine that when he was catching that thing he was setting up to throw it he was not worried about running after it I tell you if you're going to try to trick James Hendricks good luck yeah that's not going to work very often [Applause] Oh looky lost the football and it's picked up by crystal Arabic he's running back the other way and laughs trying to slow him down and takes him down at the 11 yard line so North Dakota State gives it right back didn't look to me like Luedtke actually got a 10 count that stayed on his on his ribs he was unable to get it in there and then kaarvok his run down by guy who the deep the FBS people wanted to be a defensive back but well that's the big sudden cheese play that the Panthers really really need to the Bison today North Dakota State has not given up a touchdown in eight straight quarters Northern Iowa golden opportunity here play action for McIlvain and he spins right to the waiting on of Dirac Tusker his second sack of the game and at the loss of six now trooper pending is finding out that you can't win the Battle of one-on-one against Tusker he needs run he needs to be helped in some form or fashion but you want usually doesn't shift a lot with their with their running backs so maybe you got to put a tight end on that side there is a tight end on that side now McIlvain floating it up to Westie who makes the catch in the back of the endzone touchdown Panthers [Applause] well done by you and I they were able to get hanky on one of their best receivers so it's a quote it's a drop by hanky fifty two trying to get back there just can't get there in time makes a little skinny post move in front of the safety Hendricks and the first touchdown scored by the Panthers today sighs a Weston's fifth straight game with a touchdown reception as cook comes on for the extra points and is down is up and it is good in Northern Iowa takes advantage of the turnover as McIlvain has his knife touchdown pass of the season to Isiah Western in 1770 early in the second quarter here at the Fargodome [Music] Northern Iowa big touchdown the answer Golovin ace peterson farms to kick-off kick-off replanting season with peterson farm see ty Brooks from his own goal line at a long putt returner last week against Illinois State and some roomba neither appeal he's able to get up to the 29 yard line it was the kicker Matthew cook taking him down let's take a look at that last touchdown play for Northern Iowa did somebody move early here for the Panthers take a look it just seemed like there was a little something at the beginning of that play just maybe the right side of the offensive line hand came up just a hair early real time having a replay that was a very very very nice route Aizen continued title would be middle on Northern Iowa price later coming in on that tackle for later a guy that was not recruited very heavily at all coming in out of run D Center Iowa but he's the leading tackler from Northern Iowa coming into this game I know stalking with someone in Cedar Falls this week and they said the Big D to schools thought that he was a walk-on a style of player Lance firing out to Cofield he makes the reception and dives ahead to the 40-yard line and up for North Dakota a first down Evans makes the stop for uni that insurance company replay will square out and you get isolated on the outside linebacker that's the field linebacker place to the wide side of the field Austin Evans little square out not a real good job again by Cofield getting those extra yards to pick up the first seventh reception on the season for Cole field also has a touchdown reception this season on that spring pass at Delaware a few weeks ago Eisen bring it in the beef here as Demetri Williams gets his first carry of the day and Williams has been absent for the last month dealing with a groin injury and a chance to get back on the field here today on Homecoming that first chance for Williams to play since the und game [Music] [Applause] look how tight that boxes though there's a lot of white jerseys right there find a one through a whole bunch of white jerseys his type Brooks was still able to power ahead up to the 47 yard line in a gain of four will bring up third and three whether you're by building or refinancing gate city bank home loans are locally approved financed and serviced gates and Bank for a better way of life member FDIC housing this seems to me that it the way the Panthers have to place so close and so tight in here that something play-action might open up a little bit deeper I don't know if you do it on third and three but boxes stacked Lance is gonna throw it and it's caught by spoilers in the flats working on Xavier Williams had his helmet ripped off and strolls are still down on the far sideline Xavier Williams preseason all-american and hands down I think the best defensive back that advantage have just got beaten simple out [Applause] so they'll tend to sprawls who's now up at least on and me and as they work on him and figure out the situation and you know step aside want to go in the second quarter by the insight would I territory lead by [Music] first intent North Dakota State from the northern iowa 47 Delta formation for the Bison Lance is going to keep it up the middle and more room as the pile continues to get pushed ahead to the 40 yard line and a gain of seven as an offense you're always trying to put your defense or defensive players in conflict and this is a formation I think that really puts pressure on the inside linebackers of this Panther team we talked about flater a little bit earlier leading the team and tackles to this point in the season running formation for North Dakota State and it Scofield met right in the backfield and he has stood up back to the line of scrimmage and that is it another third down coming the more trail and his numbers on third season very good 17 of 29 with 14 conversions on third out when he passes the football KC Phoenix Scrolls Brack back in after getting checked out having his helmet ripped off he did jog off the field under his own power when we were away from break with three in the backfield here now they'll emotion out of it get the two tight ends to the top of the screen and looky and Coffield is going to get it and follow a block up the middle Cofield still on his feet finally wrapped up by Roosevelt Lawrence at the 27 and a good strong run there for the junior out of Missouri that's three tackles now I think that Lawrence is made that has kept to NDSU out of the end zone because Co fields after he runs through that one tackle is able to get his feet back under him in momentum he might take it all the way by as an offensive lines looking pretty good today you know Lance play-action hit as he threw it and it falls harmlessly incomplete it was Smith put it on the pressure again that's what ellison smith does best edge rush he has athleticism in that rushing game that axiom rushing from the end that most guys don't and I heard Coach Farley talking about him and he says it's his hips he's able to sink down stay forward get around the corner so fast that tackles just can't keep up with him [Music] Brooks through a hole Brooks still driving ahead to the 15th down to the 14 yard line in a gain of 13 for ty Brooks and the Bison over a hundred yards rushing here in the first half let's go down to Ryan Geller for an Internet Boost International Bank and Trust a sideline reporter yeah thank you thank you Brian just real quick on Phoenix rolls who you said is obviously back in the football game a defender fell on him along the sideline when that helmet came off that pushed his head into the turf he's got a pretty good bruise on his left eye other than that though good to go Brooks wrestled to the ground after gain of four more to the ten yard line and flater on that tackle getting up a little bit slowly so we talked earlier about an fib formation of the boundary the Bison definitely have that the wide guy on the outside well that was the right tackle Kordell volson so there was unbalanced left they were running right at Smith and that was pretty good yardage and then Novak insurance company replay and it looks like the Panthers have a player down at about the 10 yard line and it is flater who was slow getting up and then he walked a couple of steps and dropped right back to the turf let's pause for a quick message from Scheels what's up buys the nation Carson Wentz here I'll never forget those rivalry games against the University of Northern Iowa we're gonna really need all of you to show up be loud be proud and go by don't think I'll forget what happened with 2050 2015 the 35 seconds left when studious shepper area share of this end zone with the Bison were driving to comeback victory for NDSU the Bison 25 and 4 at home in the last decade against top 10 teams bad find es you on that winning streak that they're on now that the 26 game winning streak of course the record is also held by NDSU but remember who stopped that you and I on the last time that Northern Iowa won here in Fargo 2009 the series ironically enough is tied at 26 26 and this is a 53rd meeting all-time between these tope through two programs Marc Farley has been there for 19 years and Northern Iowa 152 wins which is the most in the history of the Missouri Valley Football Conference second and six Lance trying to pick his way and he is taken down and Russell drowned by Jared Rickman after a gain of one maybe two yards to the late I motor guy I the rolls could be very highly of him with us on Thursday of we have to handle him the Bison recruited him and his brother he's a 60-foot shot boater in high school state wrestling champion NDSU thought it thought of him as an offensive lineman though Lance weights almost taken down by the ankles and then getting ahead to the 7 yard line about two yards short of a first down and decision time here from Mad Ants and he's going to run the field goal team long well the defense held but I know cleric wasn't happy with himself because he thought he whiffed on that tackle a little bit but Richmond and company able to force the fourth down Griffin throws on for a 25 yard attempts snap down kick his up and throw so remains perfect in his young bison career now seven of seven in field goal attempts and NDSU extends the lead 18 to 7 on the eight country Farm Credit Services floorboards [Music] Bobcats scoring to recap 14 plays on that drive to police seven minutes off the clock as Griffin crosa connects from 25 yards to extend the lead to 11 as it continued their red zone success only once all year as NDSU not scored inside the corner there Peterson farms seed kickoff kicked off the fighting season with Peterson farms seed and Wagner again boost this one how about that that's the third time he's done that now in the last two weeks I know if you could read kochanski's this looked at him and said what happened no coach I kicked it out of that kick out of bounds kicki team by rolling the ball this place at the 35 yard line first down the first penalty of the game ironically enough between these two extremes it's always physical and this is an officiating crew that has never been here before referee is art Brown guys from New York Delaware [Applause] not the easiest place to get to this it's been a little bit of a struggle Terry the replay man I was talking to him he said they made it in this morning oh you and I from the 35 room to maneuver this time for Trevor Allen most rooms he's had today a gain of 9 to the 44 yard line and until and he comes up limping a little bit with an ankle issue it appears he got up slow a few times last week at home against Youngstown State was able to cut through it and he hobbles off up until that run Northern Iowa had only had two rushing yards in this game sylco wrapped up in the backfield and he washed yard mat Biegler was able to get penetration Jackson inky also in on the stop with Jabril Cox I think Bigler was the key to that because the Panthers were pulling a guard and Bieber got in there shot his gap so fast and glued the timing of the play up that the pulling guard had nobody to even get there because it was disrupted too early at an emotion of Jaden Scott McIlvain flushed out players on the run and that ball is I thought that's skipped and they are marking it at the 49 as a catch [Applause] jaelyn James apparently makes a very nice catch and of course you and I will go quick I thought it hit the turf but and Madden is going to call a timeout Mad Ants wants to call a timeout so they take a look at this thing before you and I can snap it well the Panthers did the right thing get to the lion try to snap try to get a play underway quickly and of course coach ants did what he needed to do is use one of his timeouts here and they'll take another look upstairs for our crew in the truck providing the replays up to the booth while it was going on I just don't know something like from where we were I thought the ball hit the turf in some former fashion when it's hecka throw by McIlvain even to get it shot up in a play hey he's pretty good coverage no that concerns company replay you're right he gets it right past two real and does that ball hit the turf there oh yeah wow it's hard to tell in it I don't know if there's enough in that particular angle to overturn it but I still think my first reaction was the right one even though this play could easily stand dear young as you mentioned is the replay official and James sold it he caught the ball a decision has been made here the ruling on the fill of a completed pass stands first now years look just can't see where the football is on that angle certainly might have hit the ground which is no way to really tell you need clear definitive visual evidence to overturn it boy a huge third count conversion from Northern Iowa moves the sticks as we approach the five-minute mark the bison did a good job after a nine yard pickup on first to force that third McIlvain is going to keep it dropping it off and it's Graham making the reception and he is taken down close to another first down by distant elders nine yard pickup to the Bison 42 Talbert was a little bit questionable this week with a hip flexor that he loosened up and got to play but the Bison game was such a heavy rush right up the middle in terms of blitzing that it was just a zone underneath so that's what NDSU is giving up and it's who ceman picking up the first down putting down the shoulders and stumbling ahead to the 38 yard line for pickup before since what listed at 212 get together fairly well in terms of handling some of those tough yards inside Koosman again excuse me is kept by McIlvain flag comes in as he runs out of bounds at the 34 and this one may be coming back looks like Matt Danner Spice slapped his hands he may have been caught for a hold the man with two numbers Vanderslice 10-yard penalty first now they didn't give a number but if it was on Vanderslice who kind of incriminated himself he wears number 98 when he's at idea number 77 because he is also one of the backup offensive linemen as well so he plays multiple positions and has multiple uniform numbers to do so and Henderson AC started at left tackle against Iowa State but Uni is so desperate right now on the tight end position group that he needs some extra bodies there that we haven't mentioned that up but much but Bradley more preseason all-american is out for the year and Tristan boarded his backup gone to DRAM makes the reception and gets a good chunk of that yardage back and a bounds at about the 36 yard line so picked up with 12 yards will show your bison pride today with an NDSU gate city bank ATM and debit cards visit Gate City Bank slash my car gate city bank for a better way of life member FDIC second and eight from the Bison 36 yard line McIlvain is going to throw it up downfield it is cut by Weston made a tremendous adjustment with tutsi and coverage and it'll be first in goal for the Panthers at the six what a concerns company replay I truly believe that the Panthers have to do more of this just throw it up on the outside wait for your big guy to make up a play tutsi I think tried to jam him early lesson got behind him was able to stretch out and the two biggest plays have been pass plays similar to that in this game from who spent in the backfield evander slices Scott and they're at who spent up the middle diving across the goal line in a touchdown the third down catch that was reviewed and upheld kept this drive going and you and I is able to close it out really nice push to the inside somebody took care of Jack Darnell Darnell was flying out of there he was pushed to the side maybe a slant and the offensive lineman just kept on taking him but that's where the Panthers ended up scoring and northern I will go for two here and now a timeout may be called ie Northern Iowa as Mark Farley talked it over with his guys [Applause] time now for the gate city bank ban cam sent us your home or watch party pics to fan cam your cam calm and we'll show them in the fourth quarter Pradas filled in pretty well here today we work sure exactly what the attendants would be due to several interstates being shut down since yesterday well coach ants going for two after the first touchdown now northern I was gonna bring Matthew Cooke in instead to kick the extra point now at least line up like we're gonna kick the extra point anyway now you generally won't fake it after a timeout [Applause] [Music] [Applause] hook it up and it's perfect in Northern Iowa Klaus back to within four with 240 to go here until halftime McIlvain x' numbers have to be impressed with him night a 15-4 158 yards and a touchdown and Weston is doing most of the damage three receptions for 87 yards and a score bobcat scoring recap he plays 65 yards as Koosman takes it in please think back to the the season opener against Iowa State that's where you and I was able to have a lot of success doing similar plays like that just throw it up outside we got two real good receivers they have good size most of them are taller than the DBS and if you win those types of plays you're able to put yourself in a position that get it in for a touchdown and that was a triple overtime loss to by the way to the Cyclones came that really Northern Iowa good along will boot it away deep ty Brooks waits for it at the one booth took a big shot at the 15 [Applause] I'm sure who that was in flying and maybe Kitty who is the punter but it's also a safety on this team but due to necessity he is also the punter as well as the defensive back [Applause] [Music] so train lamps and devising offense first and 10 with 235 to go here until halftime [Applause] Lance is gonna keep it again Lance keeps the feet moving Lance still going downfield and a big pickup up to the 33 yard line on first down gain of 18 yards Ryan Geller's on the sidelines with a special guest for a first International Bank and Trust I'll have it for ya hey guys Robby Grimsley former bison joins us and back for homecoming you said back in the Fargodome what's it like to be back here I don't know what I was expecting but it feels great to be back honestly is weird watching them run out of the tunnel and I've never been on the other end of it so just watching the guys I mean it's it's kind of surreal being back here and it's nice how long I mean out of this long being back in this atmosphere it's been so long and just nice to be back not much has changed at the time you left Northern Iowa's still a big rival special to come back for this one in particular no it is I mean this is the game I wanted to see I always thought Northern Iowa was our biggest rival I know everyone says the Jackrabbits but personally for me I always loved playing Northern Iowa the most to just they always seemed like they gave us the hardest fight and even though the Jackrabbits came on top some times but it's just Northern Iowa to me it was always so hard fought and and I guess that's so that's why I wanted to come to this game it just felt like the right one for me you're back in the Minneapolis area tell us what you're doing you're around football at all oh well not right now no I actually I could have coached back in Hutchinson they wanted me to come coach but I figured I'd take a little bit away from the game for a little bit and right now I'm just working right now I'm actually going to law school next year so I took my LSAT and now I'm just waiting for the results on that and I'll be going to law school so that's my next step good for you man always successful always fun to catch up with you we enjoyed watching you play good to see you again I appreciate you having me on guys back upstairs it's a first turn National Bank and Trust sideline report thanks Ryan middle screen setup here for North Dakota State as Cofield makes the reception and gets down to the 46 yard line North Dakota State will burn its first timeout with 54 seconds to go eller Sid Smith sniffed it out pretty well Dakota State [Applause] the Bizon offense have moved the football here today nearly 250 yards of offense in the first half that's the power of the turnover is really the reason the game as as tight as it is right now you and I has had one and converted that into the into Panthers first touchdown you look at ball control North Dakota State has had the ball 18 minutes in the first half and has run ten more fleas than the Panthers have with the big plays in the passing game by McIlvain and Weston critical here for northern I would hang in the anthers maybe showing some pressure here and now attack from Bart Farley that's the second for you and I did not like something Austin Evans was so enjoying some pre snap pressure from his field linebacker position and then he dropped dropped off I was really interested to see what was gonna happen coach Farley didn't walk didn't want it to happen so he uses that timeout these two teams have gone at it there's been some memorable meetings Norfolk I was been close in this building has won some games here in the past but the Bison have won five straight in the series Panthers 140 to 27 and kind of a wild one here I think that was the path bishal sideline skirmish game several years ago it was right down here right second and three from the 46 Johnson Coby Johnson trying to get the edge Johnson to the 30 and he is taken out of bounds at the 29 yard line it was big Tim butcher bring him down from his defensive tackle position Omar brown also in to help on that stop Noatak insurance company replayed there's the give you see on the the the read read the end and then butcher with Joe and some some uh he did a great job to stay with this light put it that way let's go to Ryan Geller hey guys another first International Bank and Trust sideline report I talked to kicker Griffin crosa his target was the 31 yard line that makes it a 48-yard field goal the Bison are there right now and with Johnson going out of bounds that stopped the clock so any issues still two timeouts Lance now flushed he can run and he will and he will run out of bounds chased out by flater after a gain of four the 25-yard line and that will stop the clock again with 41 seconds until halftime I was watching Kobe Johnson on that play and the one thing that true freshmen usually have a problem with his pass protection boy that he's a really nice job to step up and and he hit Seth Thomas you see number 95 Seth Thomas who was 262 pounds I tell you Johnson took him up off his pass rush very well and will continue to operate out of the shotgun here on second and six you and I bringing some pressure Lance escaping now throwing downfield babitch jumped-up Nepal just out of his reach on the sidelines will bring up third and six it's the one thing that trey Lance doesn't have quite down yet is when he's moving to his left his ball has a tendency to go high as it did there and it also has a tendency to nosedive if he throws it really hard he tried to touch pass that one in there while he was in the move while he was on the move anyway and it went a little bit too high Lance hanging in there again firing on the out and just out of the reach of Jimmy capparis at the 15-yard line and that will bring up fourth down and a field goal attempt for Griffin crosa it'll be about a 42-yard attempt last couple of snaps you and I was very aggressive on the pressures at that time it was coming right up the middle picked up fairly well by NDSU but the incomplete looks like they'll spot it now from 43 yards on the right hash Joseph puts it down and this one was will off the mark Lida left his first Miss as a collegiate kicker and the score remains 1814 with 28 seconds left to go until halftime [Applause] and a big stop here from Northern Iowa's defense late in the half and again not that they that they got to Lancer there was a threat of a sack but there was enough pressure to force him to move looks like Northern Iowa will take a knee here and head into the locker room and be content to be down just for well after the start and after being down a couple of touchdowns coach fairly has no problem with 18 14 at this stage of the game oh it was 15 nothing North Dakota State after the first quarter in Northern Iowa a couple of big passing plays and the Panthers right back into the football game after the first 30 minutes and Ryan Geller will catch a word with NDSU head coach Madden's man he got after the fast start got some points early they've been able to creep back into this thing though get a big big turnover and then also in the balls in the 12 yard line that sits off and then we had a busted coverage in the end zone and then just you know too many big plays you know we were get them in second alone we can't get off the field on third down right now and so shoot there they're converting about 60% of their third down so there's plenty of things we can try to fix over the course of halftime here we'll let you do that good luck guys back upstairs all right thanks so much Ryan the football game Missouri Valley Conference rivals North Dakota State leading 1814 at halftime stay tuned the pro Cee'd halftime report with Beth Hoole Kyle Emanuel and Alex Egan is after this [Music] welcome back to the pro C to halftime report Beth Hoole joined by Kyle Emanuel it's an 1814 Bison lead right now a little bit of a closer tighter game than maybe either of us were really expecting yeah well I mean we northern I was doing what we kind of expected him to play better to play well in the in the Fargodome they'd come here and they'd play well and now offensively they've been doing some things better than I think you like we said both of us were expecting wanted a little bit more of a bison run away but there's still a second half let's take a look at the first half highlights here though of NDSU and Northern Iowa getting that first look here bison with those steps scripted first series looking really good here trailing 15 explodes yeah I lost the coin flip just for this reason Beth so the Bison office and go out and they have a really another really good start to another Lance two schools here in the end zone for that leave absolutely trail Lance and that good start and then hey the two-point conversion comes out again nothing NDSU lead bison defense just stepping up as well Jabril cops get in that press Northern Iowa was driving here a little bit an issue gets they get tough in the red zone as I have all year forces an attempt at a field goal they miss it wide right trade a couple of series here between the Bison and the Panthers and then tre Lance again goes deep Christian Watson this time this is the absolute perfect throw and catch group but for Christian to get put down with that is unbelievable he's kind of coming out he had a really good game against Illinois 15 nothing NDSU lead and then into the second quarter James Hendricks up with that interception the trick play backfires in James Hendrix's seems to always be around the ball and making plays and get another interception for a 31 yard return but then that momentum switches right back up fumble from the Bison on the handoff here and you and I scoops it up here we get 42 years this was the turning point of the half by far I mean Northern Iowa I was not in this game at all it kind of looked like it might be a run away for a second and then at the turnovers a huge momentum shift and then we'll McIlvain hits Isiah Weston for a 17 yard touching McIlvain has been better than I than I thought he would be he's kind of throwing the ball up but he has big receivers and they're making plays for him it's 15 7 NDSU with the lead failed and bison on the run again getting that run game kind of go and Adam Cofield for 30 yeah the run game a gap has been stymied a little bit by this really good Northern Iowa defense but they have found some success on the edges this one results in a field goal Griffin crows at 25 yards for an 18-7 then coming up you and I on the drive again a McIlvain to Weston on this one for a 30-yard connection and then looked like a false start there too and somehow it wasn't called but another touchdown for Northern Iowa and then the Bison are on the run again trail lands here 13 yard fifth carryin the quarterback run has been really successful is along with the edges but the quarterback run has given the the Panthers some issues Kobe Johnson to the outside man yeah just like that Kobe Johnson another good run for him getting outside and get on the edge of that northern I would be fix and then NDSU looks for another field goal closer his first Miss of the season yeah yeah something you're not expecting but a missed field goal there from those eye you know tough way to end a half for sure yeah certainly some things they have to talk about at halftime expect plenty of adjustments I know it halftime it is insane for the bison football team yeah I mean this is this is a game that I it to me it shouldn't be as close to theirs any issues they've actually played pretty well for the most part but McElveen has been kind of throwing the ball up in the offense it has been moving it they have some big wide receivers and they have some weapons but I feel it just feels kind of like NDSU's in control of this game turnovers will do that to you though so a little bit cleaner half and I kind of think that NDSU can run away with this one well take a look at our North apart North Dakota certified seed producers halftime stats here taking a look at that 1814 bison lead right now a fairly balanced game between these two teams and they're fairly balanced in there they're passing it and they're passing games as well well what you kind of expect for mine you see you balance from passing rushing their commitment to the rushing game is awesome to see every single game NDSU finds the way even against a really good defense to to come up with those rushing yards Northern Iowa has not been able to run the ball and that's something we use especially you see the kind of to thrive with but they've thrown the ball better than we thought but they'd be able to do you know one of the big things I think is this is kind of that old school bison football kind of what you were used to play and really that grinded out and what we're used to seeing between NDSU and you're not yeah it's a physical game in there and it'll come down to the offensive defensive lines it always we'll be back with more on your procede halftime report after that [Music] welcome back to the pro Cee'd halftime report downfield level let's take you through the rest of the Missouri Valley as the Bison lead 18 to 14 here at halftime over Northern Iowa we take a look at the rest of the scores going to overtime Western Illinois and Indiana State looks like Indiana State just took a 16 to 10 leave there in overtime South Dakota and Missouri State are both tied at 7 two more games still to come on the Missouri Valley docket tonight that is South Dakota State at Youngstown State and Illinois State at Southern Illinois it is 18 to 14 the Bison lead here at halftime will step aside one final time second-half action right after this on the percieve halftime report filled at the fargodome Brian Shawn Lee Timmerman with you and Ryan Geller a chance to catch up with you and I head coach Mark Farley coach finally good football game they were able to get you early you came right back we kept our boys but there's a lot of football laughter all right good luck second half thank you guys back upstairs too short and sweet from coach Farley but still has to be pleased with the way he was able to get a defensive stop to at the end of that half because the Panthers will get the ball here to start this third quarter yeah because they deferred off the off the flip at the beginning of the game but the one stat that I guess to me kind of jumps out is yards per completion because right now the Panthers are averaging 19 and a half yards every time the ball has been caught obviously it's been one-on-one situations to the outside and the su has been doing some pretty good things to prevent anything happening much in the running game so I think it has to be a little bit more of that all-or-nothing stuff from you and I yeah credits will McIlvain he's been under some pressure but he's hung in there and he's delivered some balls for his receivers just go get him yeah talented kid I mean you don't they don't handy the job you earned the job he's the only guy in Iowa for a history to have a season of 2000 passing yards yes and 1000 rushing yards so he has that multi-dimension the running part of it hasn't really happened much today the Bison thought they'd see more quarterback Ron but the Panthers had some success getting the ball in those 50/50 situations outside and then Trevor L on the top running back for Northern Iowa hobbled off in that second quarter not sure of his status if he'll come back as well it may be soku and gooseman that have to take the Panthers home here in the second half as well exactly because it did not look like Alan was feeling really well when Tony left offensively North Dakota State from a ball control standpoint ran 12 more plays and had about a seven-minute advantage in time of possession but just not able to cash in and that's a big reason why he NDSU only has a four point B I think maybe boils down to first down efficiency for the Bison an NDSU was a little more efficient on first down they closed a little bit easier turned off the second half with a Peterson farms seed kickoff kickoff the planting season [Applause] touchback for you and I and the Panthers we'll start from the 25-yard line that man right there tenth most wins in the history of FCS football 152 of them went in the Uni Hall of Fame in 2012 Betty Robinson Award winner let's take a look at the quarterback numbers sponsored by the North Dakota beef Commission funded by beef farmers and ranchers McIlvain as LT mentioned nine completions but for 158 yards and Westen doing most of the damage he has three of those catches for 87 goals in formation McIlvain looked like he's gonna be caught in the backfield and then able to make something out of nothing and dives ahead to the 27 james k's are there to make the stop for indy as you look to me that McIlvain had to call an audible on that play after the snap because I think he was rolling to look to throw off the flat with two receivers out there but he didn't get a chance to roll to his level hand off boy nice job by North Dakota State knew his keys were coming off his block and then making the tackle got some help um Josh Hayes as well so that will bring up third and seven that was Alan that did have the ball so he must have not taped up for now he's jogging off on this third long situation there's Trevor the senior we have not seen a lot of marques bridges in that second quarter but he's out there playing the slot now here in the nickel package on third and long Northern Iowa had four third down conversions last week against ysu of eight plus yards let's see if they can come up with a big one here three-man rush McIlvain across the middle ooh big hits and the ball is loose and markeith bridges has it I think it was Josh Hayes putting the lick hot D on McShane who is still down McShane is going to go back to the turf after Hayes at the head he made the catch tried to make that football move to get upfield but Hazel's playing in his own bison went with max protection here lien or that insurance excuse me no tact Mutual Insurance a replay boom football comes flying out of there the Bison covered up in bridges and McCain was hit hard second turnover of the game for Northern Iowa and this will set up North Dakota State again in good field position up until last week North Dakota State didn't even have a fumble recovery now they have two in two weeks we'll step aside here is they tend to McShane he still down on the turf and hope he's okay 13:44 to go in the third quarter [Music] there's a look at Deon McShane looks to be okay as North Dakota State starts this Drive from the 35 and there is Adam Cole field gaining five yards to the 30 Lawrence there to force him out of bounds I was watching Ben Ellison this take care of Ellison Smith Ellis attended a bling on top of him that's how well he blocked the defensive end on that play but a golden opportunity for the Bison here to get there major mistake in the first half you wipe that out if you can now get the six points back again after a turnover here early in the third play action for Lance setting up downfield Ian Dory's all alone [Applause] 30 yard season how many caches does he have five yes you're right five catches five touchdowns that's the tenth touchdown by the tight end group this year Noatak insurance company free play showing action to the wide side of the field and flattery excuse me later number twenty-two was beat so bad he wasn't even trying to hustle the catch back up he was just jogging he knew he gave it up all well designed and executed hookean Dorf is a touch touch in one of these days he might catch a ball that isn't a touchdown bro son adds the extra point in his 25 14 North Dakota State on the egg country Farm Credit Services scoreboard is the Pisan cash in on the turnover [Music] Bobcats scoring recaps who plays for 35 yards in his 42 seconds no again two or five touchdown receptions that leads the Missouri Valley Conference tied with Isaiah Weston for most 16 and 10 16 catches by the tight ends 10 touchdowns this year Peterson farms seed kickoff kick on the planting season with Peterson farms seed of oh oh boy slipping up here trying to make a gut was Aaron Graham and Northern Iowa backed up to its own 14 yard line [Music] come on a guy that only has five receptions on the season leads from the spring help me in touch the snow sessions i bad there's a look young man from northern Minnesota as long as you're talking tight end group if it the next touchdown Ben Elson gets will be the all-time record for tight end spot to breaking Jeremiah's Bacher's those two are tied with 14 career McIlvain stepping up and stepping ahead for no gain to the 14 yard line as the Bison collapse down Matt Biegler among others coming in to make that stop on McIlvain interesting things on the defensive line because number 92 Jack Darnell the nose guard played it soft he actually got up went out played a little bit of the flat and once he saw the quarterback starts to run then he helped chaos back down so that's a different look for the redshirt freshman to see that as well [Applause] McIlvain has some time and i was going to run for it and he's going to have a first down before kaiser forces him out that's one thing this young man can do pickup of 12 that insurance company replay he's going to get around it's the big man and then make a nice little move here sidestep kaiser pick up the first [Applause] with a lot going on here and McIlvain ended up keeping it picked up by yard meat before he is dropped Biegler in on another tackle Jackson Hankey also coming in North Dakota State will shuffle it for new defensive lineman luxury the Bison couldn't do that Betty teens can [Music] [Applause] [Music] McIlvain is going to throw it up downfield and the catch is made a get by Weston [Applause] no question the most effective offensive play for you and I today are those deep passes against man coverage to the outside that concerns company repaint McIlvain puts this one up he puts it nice and high drops it over bridges lets his big man get to the high point and make the catch boy Weston now four receptions for 124 yards Soko has a nice hole couldn't spin out of a tackle as he's wrapped up by Michael tuck see but a good game and on first out of nine yards to the Bison 26 and he comes up a little gimpy and I think Brian one of the reasons he's able to have such good gain on that on that first down run is because of the success on the man outside the Bison played too deep safeties as we look at the replay and that means that the strong safety can't come crashing down as fast in his heart as he wants to because he has deep responsibilities in the past coverage as well gooseman gets the call keeps the feet churning and leaves ahead to the 20-yard line for a first town Jackson Hankey and other tackle for North Dakota state's [Applause] [Music] so go in some pain over there on the training table right now who spends the only real healthy running back hat McIlvain swings it out to the tight end Jamie Scott but quickly there to make the stop James Hendricks Dean of only one tight ends for you and I have been such a strong position group over the course of the last few years but with both the injury two more and two more that's very young and inexperienced tight ends playing right now for you and I a you and I and the Panthers have had to change some things offensively well the more and more by the way should be in the red shirt this year though fell even though they're injured they'll save the year McIlvain dropping back fire across the middle again and it's open man and he dropped it Jalen James was alone in the middle of the endzone and he couldn't hang on good pass McIlvain put it right where he had to split the two deep safeties Tampa to middle linebacker drops that snaky 52 right here he's looking and then he will drop and he has split the safeties right over the linebacker has a pretty pass this wasn't caught third and long you ni three of six on third down today crowd coming to life mine's of bringing pressure McIlvain rolls throwing it to the end zone it is batted away to byes and offenders in the area blanketing Weston and that'll bring up a field goal situation for the Panthers Josh Hayes had really good position but there was also deep help safety help coming from Michael tutsi McIlvain just can't hold the ball much longer than that tried to put it up a little bit higher but now the Bison had it covered the difference between that one and some of the long ones downfield that have been working is the timing of the play McIlvain had to run too far before releasing it 47 yard attempts for Cooke and this time he is no good white to the right again very close and the Panthers come up empty 858 to go in the third quarter North Dakota State maintaining an 11 point lead on the 800 Farm Credit Services scoreboard as Cook from 37 first attend North Dakota State from the 20 Lance dumping it off to his tight unbent Ellefson and he is forced out of bounds after a gain of close to 8 yards first catch of the day for Ellefson Trey Lance's numbers in that first half way very good sponsored by the North Dakota beef Commission funded by beef farmers and ranchers 138 yards three touchdowns so far today and with that completion now 10 of 15 445 yards should mention Zach Kubus number 61 in a rotation now at left guard boy nice job by Northern Iowa stringing that thing out it was a lotus and snip coming from behind to grab ty Brooks by the hips and not let him get away and no gain on a second down will bring up third and short Noatak insurance company replay Smith coming from the high side of your screen can run that play down from behind that was one of the question marks is how aggressive he would be down the line in the run game today but I think you and i's hand has been forced a little bit in terms of what it has to do against the NDSU run coalfields gonna get the give keeps churning but I think he's going to be a yard short of a first down in Northern Iowa comes up with a big third down stop [Applause] Tim butcher got in there and the other guy plugging things up was flater boy looked like Cofield had some room to maneuver at that time and I've been able to get out of the tackle we'll bring on Garrett Wagner for the punt buying building or refinancing start with a gate city bank blue standard pre-approval and experience a better home loan get started today at gate city bank for a better way of life member FDIC Equal Housing lender Wagner boots this one away and it takes a North Dakota State bouncing it continues to mounts inside the 15 and finally rolling to a stop at the 11 yard line so well done by Wagner and for peeled field position once again for Northern Iowa now a flag comes out Xavier Williams got into it with somebody from North Dakota State but Williams I think started and I'm not going to say that he's there there was John going on but Williams was the first one that gave the little extra shove after the ball or while the ball was still rolling before the play was dead [Applause] coach Farley given Williams a little bit of an earful and when as he came off the field just the second penalty of the game it's been relatively clean so far for both teams after the play personal foul unsportsmanlike conduct kicking team number 42 first down and it's going to go on Jabril Cox before he too is who is called now first contact like I said I thought first contact was from Williams but it was Jabril Cox that moved Williams first and that'll move the ball up to the 26 yard line that is the first penalty on North Dakota State today those are the style of penalties that will really upset a coach and a coaching staff though North Dakota seen a couple of penalties after the whistle last week at Illinois state's McIlvain under center here on 1st and 10 Houston nothing stuffed up in the middle Jackson Hankey coming in there to make the tackle for North Dakota state's lost to garner eyes were so much faster than the Panthers had them as soon as the snap happened on that particular play NDSU almost seemed like they were the ones calling the stamp as it was impressive push who spit again on the counter of Aaron murka down a big lick gain of 1 Merc Adele's have limited reps today because of a lot of the style of plays and types of plays that you and I has had but in this running situation number 55 comes in and he laid the wood pretty good on that hit third and long for the Panthers uni 3 it's 7 so far today 3:05 at halftime have not picked up 1/3 yet here in the second half three-man rush for the Bison Jabril Cox chasing down a man Weston able to get free and make the reception but quickly closing to make the tackle James Kaiser and that'll bring up a punting situation what McIlvain did a good job just to get that ball off and then of course it was keys are on a one-on-one mr. Brill Cox kind of spying the quarterback on his hips he's able to flip it in front but then Kaiser takes down the big man [Applause] and over hang on kitty Kibby Oh a nice job this time driving back Trevor heit to his own 21 yard line fight some room to maneuver but an excellent open field tackle for the Panthers making that stop for uni rock had a check linebacker has been moved to somewhat fullback tight end let's pause for a quick message from the Bank of North Dakota if you want to build something solid we need a plan Bank of North Dakota helping you achieve more wise defense comes up with a stop on northern Iowa and now freelance we'll get them set from the 30-yard line Brooks trying to find a hole not much there and finally driven back and dropped by Monta Ellis after a gain of 1 that coach Farley had some really nice things to say about Bronte wells this week and he were talking about how Thomas and Smith get most of the glory from their defensive end position but he said he meaning Farley said that Bronte's the key to the whole thing because his ability to come in rotate keep the other defensive line ants fresh is one of the reasons that that they've been able to stay successful and not get too tired out does really good work in the community as well as the Family Services major he's recognized for some of the service he does with kids in the community a Little flea-flicker action Lance is loaded up Christian Watson is running free he could not hit on Andrews about Lawrence got back into the play and broke that thing up at the 20 [Applause] Lance just couldn't quite get it far enough fast enough because he was out there but this ball has a lot of air underneath it and it allows Lawrence the opportunity to run down the bull Watson high points it but boy he was in good contact and then the right hand sweeps the ball away well done by the senior defensive back so now third and eight Lance firing it out two L's a dangerous pass overthrowing his man in the flat and a three and out for the Bison [Applause] and that ball been on target Austin Evans may have taken it back for a pick six [Applause] [Music] you're a Wegener back out quickly for a punting situation here for North Dakota States [Music] here come the Panthers wedding are able to get it off and Williams will call for the fair catch at the 26 yard line [Music] [Applause] first content time now for the gate city bank ban can still time to semeth send us your home or watch party pics to fancam your cams calm and we'll show them in the fourth quarter more than Iowa right back to work with 343 to go here in the third quarter an apple vain-ass time he's going to go deep again man running underneath it and it is incomplete a little bit underthrown that time for Weston with marques bridges in coverage not sure if McIlvain is just reading where the safeties are and then making an adjustment at the line or if it's called from the line but that time in the issue is in a single high safety not a double safety help anybody deep McIlvain saw that one on one press coverage on the outside went forward again it's been successful today but it's high-risk high-reward and low percentage husband gets the carry he has lapped up quickly after a gain of three by Michael Duffy and that will bring up third and seven you know the one thing we haven't seen much today when you and I has handed the ball off yards after first contact in issues has been tackling the the water I think very well and that's one area David Braun said we have to continue to work out let's take better angles still working at leverage and we just have to get better at tackling overall so far today the Bizon you guys did a nice job on force it another third and long Pisan bringing pressure McIlvain across the middle Jilin change had in his hands again and he dropped another one [Applause] that concerns company replay you're going to see the pressure fifty two forty two both those two linebackers come throw back over the middle it was there to be had but James couldn't hold on to it boy a couple of big drops today for Northern Iowa the one by James in the end zone certainly the one that stands out and a three and out for the Panthers very quickly [Applause] Kibby as Hite calls for the fair catch and makes it at the 31 [Applause] whether you're buying building or refinancing gate city bank home loans are locally approved to finance day in service to date city bank for a better way of life member FDIC Equal Housing lender each time you buy the teams have punted the last few times you can kind of if you didn't see the scoreboard there on how the teams are playing it you can tell what the score is because the Panthers are behind they're going for it they're they're getting max rush or trying to block it the Bison are playing passive and trying to make sure that nothing weird happens on the catch in back to the ground game again calor became right there in the middle to stand up Adam Koch field after a gain of one mark Farley hoping his defense can come up with another stop here as we wind down the third quarter his coach Farley sat at the ball that's what he played the walk-on from walk-on two sons that played here Jared and Jake both from really good linebackers room to room here for Kobe Johnson following his lead blocker and Johnson driving the pile ahead still moving to the 48 yard line have not seen much of Toby Johnson here in the second half but a big carry here to move the sticks a lot of pressure coming up the middle and the Bison had the right call you seal the outside pitch you cap was that Dillon Ravens down there just bearing flater about 15 yards downfield 15 yards on that run for Kobe Johnson North Dakota States now 176 yards on the ground today Johnson again good footwork it initially tripped up right at the line of scrimmage still fell ahead for four to the 48 of uni certainly the point of the game with an 11-point lead NDSU would really love to just be able to grind some things on the ground here even though last possession with the flea-flicker and that I mean the the pass play was there just wasn't executed so the Bison still will take some shots through the air but NDSU would love to keep the chains just rolling along with some nice gains on the ground Lance is going to keep it boy look at him lower the shoulder on Roosevelt Lawrence two yards short of a first down [Applause] looked like a power read the situation for because you pull the guard for the power and then Lance has the opportunity to to hand it off or to run it that power read is something that the Bison have not used much against uni the last handful of years neither team like the world on fire here and third down conversions in the second half [Music] Lance is going to keep it again boy look at it explode through the whole tray Lance carrying a couple of tacklers to the 29-yard line [Applause] Cayden hotelling was in a really bad spot it was three on one in the middle and he gets munched he's in the middle of that with 67 I think 87 and then another guard was in and there on him so [Applause] bison will take the lead into the floor 25:14 North Dakota State Trail Ants 10 carries 78 yards on the ground and the Bison going into the final 15 minutes are marching inside the Uni 30 back after this North Dakota State had the Uni 2019 or lines start this fourth quarter that ball batted at the line of scrimmage except Thomas was the guy to get his hands up he was locked up that's one of the North Dakota State offensive line and I believe that was Kordell volson will bring up second ten and not heard much from Thomas today very productive player all the 20 starts for Northern Iowa in his career two sacks coming into this game in the Panthers set a solid defensive line Barry couldn't Brinkman in the middle and there's two guys you know we talked about Smith a lot for those two guys on the end stretch play to Kobi Johnson following Malstrom but a good job by Jigen he will look trip him up after a gain of four yards will bring up third and six if Eisen go over the 200-yard mark on the ground with that play as well NDSU averaging 288 rushing yards through the first five games fifth best in the FCS [Applause] Johnson will split out now ty Brooks also in the game then goes Johnson on the high side of your screen Lance is gonna keep it again to Ibiza cross the 21 maybe a yard short of a first down I think they're standing right on the 20 so they're going to be yards short slaughter back on the stop there for uni and that ants is going to bring in his beef and keep his offense on the field that could surance company replay that's a power read you see the pull from Jensen to help lead that thing Lance tries to stretch it out they give him the Duke kid to give a pretty good job on the stretch that's up to the 20 though fourth down Cofield the tailback Moss from the full-back coal field puts the shoulder pads down needed Waunakee got to to the 18 and he moves the six that is the fourth time the Bison have gone for it on fourth down this year NDSU has picked it up now three times [Applause] and those short yardage situations coalfield has been the guy that gets this number of Paul more than anybody else this season he stays in there is on top of the eye right now we're Lukey and mauls from in oh it opens up for Co field inside the five down to the one-yard line my is it'll go quick they're knocking surance company replay those two fullbacks leading the way one extra guard help and the issues knocking on the door first and goal from the one Marc Farley quickly coming in to call a timeout right before the snap go back to that previous play timeout Northern Iowa that's their first NDSU usually takes those two fullbacks and moves one of them into a power power I situation on the strength and so when you don't give away your strength it's a little bit harder to defend show your bison pride today with an NDSU gate city bank ATM and debit card visits Gate City Bank slashed by car Gate City Bank for a better way of life member FDIC Matt it's the Waterloo native grew up right there coached it you and I as well asking David Braun to is the first-year defensive coordinator for North Dakota State isn't strange to go up against your old compadres from Northern Iowa he said yeah it's definitely weird just coaching special teams I know a lot of kids on the roster there's a lotta extra beef on this side two tight ends and a fullback how they'll flip it [Applause] I think the Bison might have had one too many guys the legal substitution defense the other way penalties are forced to consent to the goal line so move the ball about a foot and a half inside and he called the timeout to [Applause] now the Panthers finally take the extra guy North Dakota State needs about a foot the ball is extremely close you can see it right there and they're gonna balance the formation looky in motion give to Cofield pushing across did he get in yes touchdown [Applause] [Music] after all that movement and the SU does set up a power I and runs right up the gut confirmed that he did to get across and Hertz will stay at for two point for mation and now bring everybody in [Applause] snap if they kill me something snap it to the snapper that'd be kind of fun Carosa will boot it up and knock it through North Dakota State extends the lead to 32 1412 53 to go on the board trouble has Adam Cole feel powers it across and the Bison lead it by 18 North Dakota State extends the lead OD 2/4 on an atom Cofield touchdown run lies at another 11 play drives north dakota state turns in time of possession seven minute advantage over in a tie so far here this afternoon other municipal cacophony planting season with Peterson farms seed saving Williams calls for fair catch at the 4 yard line your Bobcat scoring recap let it play 60 yards couple of third down conversions for the Bison in 451 a couple of nice double digit scoring drives from NDSU here in the second half that man is 1253 away from picking up his sixth win as a head coach and for the program it would be the twenty seventh straight win which we need the second longest winning streak of all time trailing only North Dakota's 33 game winning streak from 2012 to 2014 and activating out of the shotgun here on first down flag comes out I think the plate clock ran out delay of game delay a game offense five-yard penalty first down I thought it looked like you and I was going to set up to try to fit a cannot to Weston down feel that Michael tuck to see got the same thing and here is the winning streaks we were talking about James Madison to the Bison in the last couple years right now with 26 each McIlvain fakes the give gets it out to Bram I am trying to put a shake on and he is finally forced out of bounds after a gain of five minutes six yards to 30 yard line we mentioned it earlier to when we're talking about the streets probably bears were repeating that it was the Panthers from you and I that stopped the 33 game streak back at 2014 with Carson Wentz at the helm the Bison offense all in three games down three points down in Cedar Falls that was the savior Williams game the that he was a man he was awesome on that day that was the day you knew that man was going to have an NFL career and he was Dom it in the middle that nose guard for Northern Iowa back in those days and McIlvain scampers ahead to the 39 yard line and picks up a first down willing to still in the NFL you asked some of the bison offensive lineman who the best defensive tackle they've gone but gets that guy's name comes up a lot you and I working quickly here trailing by 18 swinging it out and tipped away pass was batted in midair there by a bleep destined caliber coming over it to make a play on the football Talbert play in his own he's the corner he's the under man with safety help over the top so as a receiver you're trying to set in a window go tack insurance company replay McIlvain throws to that window Talbert goes up high points the ball out of there first target today as well for it's Phillips junior wideout ground game not much coupled to the 41 before who spin who's really been the guy that's been the feature pack here in the second half with a couple of uni tailbacks going out with a pair of ankle insurance out of necessity Trevor Allen Alfonzo SoCo beat up a little bit in this game Spencer waves you coming in to make that tackle for North Dakota State third and long again I've been showing some pressure here Derek Hough - standing up there in the middle of your in the middle of formation who come the Bison McIlvain hanging in there hi not sure P was looking for Phillips or Weston but it drops incomplete and here comes the punting unit for Northern Iowa Oh max van getting up limping a little bit well the all-out pressure coming out of me he had no more time to look downfield to get that ball away because McIlvain with that big pressure pressure right up the gut and was hit again on the throw no chance really to complete the ball but at least he got it off bring in kitty for another punt sever height back at his own 20 [Applause] Haight we'll take the fun at the 18 quickly getting a field and Trevor heit another excellent return for this junior out of Wisconsin who came into this game leading the FCS in punt return average had a good one there up close to 36 yards buying building or refinancing start with a Gate City Bank blue standard pre-approval and experience a better home loan get started today at kingston bank for a better way of life member FDIC Equal Housing lender we talked about Jarrett Brinkman a lot early haven't heard his name called much he either so arson shooting and friends doing a good job on him I was actually a 28-yard return therefore high-top 36 as type rooks campers ahead for nine now North Dakota State going to try to start lean on this murder died with defensive fronts who did we call out right before that play and that's exactly where the Bison granted right on the left side at the center and having extreme success with a pickup of nine on the ground this will be the 62nd offensive play for North Dakota State today 37 yards rushing now Brooks boy met in the backfield the job coming in to make that tackle for Northern Iowa by Spencer who the leer not seen him much on the field today but that stops ty Brooks short of a first down will bring up third and 2 but cool air took a lot of snaps because kaarvok missed almost two games a game and a half and he was playing at the middle linebacker position now he's back in order he played so many snaps before I mean he's second on the team in tackles yeah cold into the game stumbling ahead using his legs to continue to move the pile and a good pickup on third and 2 as Cofield moves the chains moving ahead to the 36 Christian jagan makes the tackle for uni Nash Jensen with a solid job helping set that in a little pool and probably a step and a half and wax at defensive end stops at outside pressure and helps open up the middle Cofield up to 67 yards rushing on the day he's going to get another run here spinning away into the open field working up a watching block [Applause] [Music] [Applause] our conversation with Tyler rolling this week as we look at the Noatak insurance company replay he said that the running backs and the rotation they have that the backs are fresh when they're getting the ball so Cofield knows he's getting the ball and then just look at the want to they want you to get into that endzone kind of backs his way in there as Cofield continues to establish himself as a guy who can get into the end zone for NDSU low snap put down by Hendrix crosa as the extra point that's now 39 40 with 905 to go Adam Cole field two touchdowns today and a hundred and four rushing yards in the Bison are pulling away from the Panthers 282 yards on the ground so far [Music] 49:40 North Dakota States has really pulled away in the last couple of possessions where a Wagner will boot this is one deep Peterson farms that Qaddafi about the planning Caesars leadership functions every Williams calls for the fair catch you'll have to take my word for it there we go the bison just physically in this fourth quarter of taking over [Music] so again Iowans internet certainly wants to try to establish the run but it has just not come very easy this years 201 yards per game on average which is eight bets the Missouri Valley Conference right now it does not look to me that you and I as the parts in place to be able to have a very good running game just as we say that who spend one super geek boots well look at the strong finish there from who spend all the way up to the 46 yard line good strong run there to start this drive for uni a gain of 21 not that he made a flop because they picked Jaden Scott in this the tight end and had him motion through the back film then ran right behind him Guzman again this time James Kaiser quickly get into the backfield but he was able to fall ahead for gain afford a midfield well that young man right there comes from football family one of ten children and couple brothers play football the Ivy League and two other brothers and his father placed stewpot st. Cloud State can imagine what the backyard games were like in that family growing up and getting most of his snaps from the linebacker position for Indy a few this year that's where he's playing right now [Applause] who's been again gets the call Jabril Cox being able to take him down after a gain of kaizar making a move from safety down to the linebacker spot in terms of the run game doesn't change a whole lot in what he's reading and what he's looking at what the difference is it just happens so much faster because you're only a couple of yards off the off the ball Northern Iowa does not have a third down conversion here in the second half McIlvain flushed flag comes in as McIlvain tries to get the first marquees bridges forces about two yards shorts I think a hole coming up here as well on the Panthers likely for doubt territory would have to think if the penalty is declined I thought Lane Tucker got a real nice push [Applause] Clinic Matt Entz is going to elect to move them back number 76 ten-yard penalty from the previous spot third goals on the junior Spencer Browns 60 to 90 out of Lenox Iowa and I think you have to take the penalty don't you when when you know it's a fourth down gonna go for it situation so third and 13 for the Panthers now as we kick down towards the seven-minute months [Applause] Northern Iowa returns home to host South Dakota Saturday Phillips his first reception he has a little room to run the plate he's first there by Phillips and he has a first down to the 40 Panthers set up the screen and get enough bodies out there to move in the su and pick up that first down Richard junior out of Iowa City Iowa [Applause] [Applause] who's been getting the call again Aaron Merc Adele crashing down makes the tackle from behind maybe a half yard pickup on the way time now for the Gate City Bank fan cam thanks to all the view that sent us your Homer watch party pics that could be a lot of places in the state that one folks that are staying home we certainly understand especially from the western half of the state if you were unable to get here and they start them young here in North Dakota and all across the region [Applause] thank you for sending us your photos today McIlvain will throw swinging it out hi and looking for who spent and gooseman is still down at the 35-yard line actually I thought to me it looked like Josh Hayes was a little kind on that play because she was lined up to maybe it will really lay the wood to him like he did earlier the machine but that pass was a little high and I thought that meat is bad off 529 to go in the football game buys it in control 39:14 step aside in back [Music] five twenty nine to go third and ten for Northern Iowa from the North Dakota State forty McIlvain buying time now gonna take off and run will pick up five yards to bring up fourth and five the Bison had everything pretty well covered down field I thought that was a wise move by McIlvain to not try to take on to grill times right there it's gonna be fourth down anyway no use punishing yourself like that and Trevor Allen back into the game and we have not seen him since the first couple of plays in the third quarter but you and a hiatus out of tailbacks but who's been getting helped on McIlvain across the middle incomplete low looking for Jalen James James Hendricks two real Coxon on the coverage and a turnover on downs James tried to set down right at the 30 which is what you and I needed for the first down but he was squeezed by both the safety and the linebacker and ZEB Nolan will come into the game at quarterback for North Dakota State just appeared in a couple of games so far this season let's read em Iowa State sorry looking at Mackel veins numbers he's fifteen to twenty nine right now 158 yards at half and again really Westin was the guy yet 129 receiving yards of McIlvain 233 helmet goals rolling on first down as Kobe Johnson doesn't gain much a yard maybe devising with some backup offensive lineman in the game right now including young man by the name of Cody mulk sophomore from Hankinson who will wear 70 he walks where 88 he kind of plays the same role Vanderslice plays for uni they can use him as a tight end in some packages and also as a tackle they talk about a guy who's worked to put to put some weight on since he's been in this program Cody's only a sophomore from Hankinson and they list him at 290 now came in at 225 as a tight end has really bulked up that's Cody whoops right there number 70 stretch play to the outside Sabian Clark's spinning away and the Iowa native from Sioux City has a first down across the 45 to the 47 Clarke Pelli dat Bishop Heelan to high school Mike insurance company and replay Brian mentioned the stretch pretty good seal in it I really like what buys an offensive line right tackle got a little bit of a seal and then scrubs to the second level [Applause] Clark remaining in the game as were under four minutes to go [Applause] aren't put in the shoulder ahead diving to the 54 a gain of three [Applause] you're seeing Jalen son Dell into the game as well redshirt freshman out of Maryville Missouri he's number 72 [Applause] Cordell volson slides down a spot and he's getting some gas some reps at right guard instead of the tackle position that he's normally at Johnson it right away as Kristin Boyd I think that was the first there and then others helped pick up of one will bring up 35 afterward at six the Bison are averaging 288 yards on the ground coming into this game and now they're close to 300 297 that man right there has done a tremendous job is a first-year offensive line coach coming over from Rutgers a friend of Matt Entz from the good old days at Winona States and AJ Blazek as this group playing at a very high level Johnson has the first down Johnson into the clear Kobe Johnson will take it in 49 yard touchdown [Applause] but we showed coach Blazek and I think that one thing he has done a little bit different is he really wants his offensive linemen to push and get downfield and number 67 bolson is 13 yards right there's the key block he's 13 yards away from where the ball was snapped making the key block that number 20 for Johnson runs it in North Dakota State had 352 rushing yards last year in Cedar Falls the Bison 347 which she got here today and it is a blowout here in the fourth for me here's the block on the right side he roof where's he you're gonna see 67 come in here make the key block well we just turned it around but Kobe Johnson's showing off his speed and true freshman from Georgia coming up here and then joining the snow and enjoying what the Bison are getting done on the offensive line the block right there 67 on 22 and 21 yards some old downfield so Jay get out of the play to safety the bison offensive line I mean coach blase and coach ances told us about that and key role as well these guys run they want to get downfield not just make your initial block well done Cordell and Tyler rolled told us for the second time this season he's just he's just a little puppy he's so excited to play football and he loves the play so much that weighs 315 pounds five plays 65 yards on the Bobcat scoring recap as Kobe Johnson has his second rushing touchdown of the season you know I don't even know if they notice it that they do it a lot but I notice it before games that Polson and Zach Johnson you know who play on the right side of the offensive the the offensive line you see them everywhere together it's just like a hangout side-by-side wherever they go because that's the way the the positions they play in a game that was 1814 at halftime has been just dominated by North Dakota State Northern Iowa's add its chances especially in that third quarter a drop touchdown pass certainly would have been a touchdown from jail and James a couple of other things did not go their way certainly the turnover early in the second half really hurt and it is homecoming here in Fargo woman yes it's been snowy and not the most pleasant conditions but here are the new inductees for North Dakota State and that includes Erin Peterson man that was a kicker here Todd Fuller was a national champion in wrestling in the division two days and Jamie berry Adams you and I both know her very well from Watertown [Applause] she's got a bunch of guys in her family that

wide open competition for cortisone throughout the spring through I'll fall camp and give credit to McIlvain here has a guy that came in as a walk-on for winning the job showed the most there's that curious from Nick McCabe freshman running back from Caledonia Minnesota to sear who's had an opportunity to plane out last weekend this week coming back from a knee injury he sustained in the opener at Target Field against Butler brother of Jabril one more snap and this game should do it what a second half North Dakota State North Dakota State also home next Saturday against Missouri State before back-to-back road trips to South Dakota State in Youngstown meanwhile you and I returns home to take on South Dakota and the Coyotes looked like they are on their way or that way to to a know in the Missouri Valley a big lead at Missouri State at halftime that'll do it from here in the Fargodome as North Dakota State wins its 27th straight games second longest streak in FCS history and that man right there Mad Ants is six and O is a head coach as he shakes hands with mark Farley and some others on the staff he knows at Northern Iowa [Applause] [Music] freelance is another day at the office hundred forty-five yards passing free touchdowns he also ran for 83 yards on the day I'd have to say at this point after the game there's similar thoughts from last week after the game just on how Illinois State came in with a defense that it was real proud of same thing for coach Farley the top side means the reason they wanted the Youngstown game was defense last week and now NDSU is just physically took over in the second half bison continue to wear people out Josh Hayes a strong game free pass breakups today include a big hit a forced fumble early in that third quarter and North Dakota State will capitalize on that move ahead and really didn't look back after that [Music] [Applause] North Dakota state's 400mm Arkansan office after racking up 482 last week Mad Ants will make his way over to riding Gelder and now ride it with the North Dakota State head coach 347 rushing yards you warm down again coach that was the plan and we talked about it all week long we knew that they were really good but they're only four to five guys and so if we just needed to get stops on defense so we couldn't wear them out then he saw second half we did a much better job on defense of getting off the field and allowing our Rams and our tight ends to really start leaning on their their front you mentioned the offensive line every week they seemed to be getting better and better they're playing in a high level they are they're having fun and that's that's what's most most encouraging to me as you see guys smiling coach logic is a character and so it's easy to smile when that's your position coach but you know we got eight or nine different guys I can play you know I don't know if it's it we're a solid we got a great depth of that position defensively might get lost in this one but they played a really good second half better on third down didn't give up the X came up a big play once but we held them out kept them out of the end zone did a nice job side you know miss a field goal red zone defense again you force people the kick field goals usually have a pretty good opportunity to win pretty good way to finish the birthday week congratulations and happy birthday I appreciate it I'm still 33 hard to believe Congrats coach guys back upstairs head coaching his age dim quick and by the way folks the interstate and i-94 has just open open at four o'clock
