he won the FCS equivalent to the Heisman first time it's ever been won by a freshman in trail ants but we're gonna say on display first Ben DiNucci the senior for this J mu football team had a terrible game to end last season against Colgate and it's been all about revenge and getting back to this point all season for him he gets a shot here first down in ten they've got several different packs which could get touches today that was JaJuan Hamilton Hamilton slams it up in between the tackles for a three yard gain there's a look at Ben DiNucci 27 touchdown passes on the season against five interceptions five interception game last year still hangs and looms large with him it proved to be a motivating factor to get him back to this point this season Hamilton in the backfield coming off the edge DiNucci delivered suspect to his tight end Dylan Stapleton for the first down Olivia it's a little chilly down there with some snow yeah mark 30 degrees in snow this is not what we expected and the grounds crew has had to work really hard they took the tarp off the field as late as they could for the teams to warm up and told me that there's a foot of sand in bilge pumps underneath the field that will help as this snow melts for the fielders foot guys Olivia it's interesting ironically this is North Dakota state's first game on grass this year Hamilton again brought down by hankie you look at the respective temperatures in Harrisburg Virginia versus Fargo North Dakota home it feels about minus 10 here dusty I don't know about that it's chilly that's a different kind of cold up there in Fargo Martel although they do play indoors up in Fargo second down in E the Dukes with a football to start the game here we'll a pressure coming off the corner DiNucci delivers another strike complete to Lyon Stapleton it leads a tackler and out to the 45 yard line another first down a missed tackle on the play by tutsi a 17 yard gain well Riley Stapleton is going to be a key all day for J mu to go to state to deal with they brought to corner blitz so it's a safety matched up on a six-foot-five 230-pound receiver makes one man miss and he finishes off the safety James Hendricks before he's escorted out of bounds Riley Stapleton and a huge matchup and a problem for North Dakota State all day genichi pulling darts right now complete to brandon poke the transfer from Penn State grad transfer picks up five on the reception ladies medicine going with nice tempo here moving in a nice rhythm late summer arrival Brandon polkas Mitch the grad transfer from Penn State it's been a huge addition to this Dukes offense all season at big-time speed on the edge on second and four over say puts his hat down and picks up a first down picked up seven yards season 19 touchdowns watch the patients and he gets to the perimeter nice cutback there on Jabril Cox another first down here on this opening possession for J mu at the 42 yard line again a Jo bass a brought down by Kaiser so many different important numbers and streaks on the line North Dakota State has won 36 games at all I don't care what league what division that is as impressive as it gets another impressive run by over sex dusty what does that streak mean and how do you put that into context well it's just this program it's so much bigger than what eat anyone coach any one player have yet to lose this bison program here in Frisco trying to make it eight of nine national championships and really a very long winning streak on the line here today but this is an impressive opening drive and a good mix of running backs 14 can some of the games have puts out them door opener against West Virginia nice and Hamilton down to the 20-yard line two yards shy of the first down Jackson Hankey making the tackle after the 8 yard gain they are jacked up well Hamilton watches he presses this gonna press it here and they cut it all the way back it's an outstanding job of running presses it catch his block and puts his right foot in the ground then gets north and south tackle behind the line of scrimmage nice play by Biegler that Biegler brings him down for about a 1 yard loss on the play so a pivotal third down here on this impressive opening drive not see me get the bin DiNucci talented runner as the ability to keep it on some of these who can read the first of it there 11 play of the drive coming up she rolls out and hits his man that's gonna be a first down to Jake Brown picks up four yards on the play James Hendricks making the tackle but a little bit too late they keep the sticks woman bent annucci thrown oval 3,200 yards this season there's look at head coach Kirk Cignetti in his first season on the sidelines a head coach at Eli bossy back to the backfield legacy eet's the pile moving stopped by Kotzen Tutsi six-yard gain on the play while Matt ends also in his first season as head coach at North Dakota State University he has maintained the culture there and they are rolling still as I always say again this time stopped by Pearson hanky three our pickup so gonna face here to get out fresh scent defense along huh say let me say will picked up the first down lunging and falling forward it's going to be very close let's see where they spot this looks like he has enough this is going to be the 14th play of the drive coming up blah that's been a great mix too been zanucci to make easy throws down the field setting up to establishing the line of scrimmage of running the football ten loans for passage so far as a Obus a witch's hat town gets it inside the five-yard line down to the floor Kurtz Achmed he told us that his team was going to play fast physical and relentless today and that's what they've shown here setting the tone on this opening drive dusty second ago back to the top third and goal coming up Tusker making the tackle big time defensive end and Derrick tusk against the initial penetration senior playing his last game for the Bison he's already got his bags packed he's headed to Tampa for the Shrine Bowl after this fantastic senior season in a huge third down in this opening drive and will in the backfield denote E touchdown Stapleton Riley Stapleton one half of a brother combination for J mu and the Dukes on the board first boy Ben zanucci came out ablaze on that opening drive easy throw inside receivers just can run a slant perfect timing tight window throw defense gets their step late in the big body of Riley Stapleton is 6 5 to 30 powers his way in to cap off a statement drive 17 plays 86 yards and a big touchdown what a start the JMU Dukes Riley Stapleton actually had a couple of touchdown catches in the previous game the semi-final will against Weber state of 18 and 34 yards so he is still hot and man DiNucci really the previous play is a touchdown the runner broke plane the play is being reviewed he's over the line right there Rogers reading our official in the booth here our expert what do you see on that play how do you think we got a touchdown he broke his plane the first time he backed up a little bit but then we got a touchdown I think it's pretty clear so I think this would be quickly confirmed ruling on the field is a touchdown stapled and thanks Rodgers got into the endzone his 9th touchdown of the season they're still taking a look at this after reviewing the play the ruling on the field stands touchdown well then DiNucci would be hard-pressed to be any more impressive than he already was on that opening drive as James Madison driven by the odious memory of a couple years ago losing to North Dakota State in the championship game getting on the board first and a small measure a temporary measure of atonement profile they're making a little noise and Harrisonburg right now welcome backs of the toyota stadium JMU on the board first and boy do they have a chip on their shoulder for multiple reasons they lost their opener against West Virginia but last year the last game of the season bad five turnovers in that game well they came into today ready to prove that they belong on this big national stage and that's where Coachman's preaching he said because when the close games got a fight for it at these big moments they are poised for a moment as big as this guy's coach Cignetti telling us that they open up the starting quarterback job and anoche accepted that and did a great job in response winning the job they got down to the 30-yard line and this is gonna be our first look at quarterback tre Lance 28 touchdown passes this year folks zero interceptions dusty this guy has all the goods outstanding runners got great size at 63 220 plus and he does not turn the ball over only turnover the season six teeth play of the year all the way back in August no interceptions he's been flawless decision-making everything has been on point and as we mentioned the onset last night wins the Walter Payton Award which is the FCS Iseman first time he picks up about seven yards on his first touch of the ballgame this is as balanced an attack as a has had in years Babbage with a nice block on the edge for quarterback tre Lance out of Marshall Minnesota pounds one of the top runners to and go field in the back field beside laughs back to the 28th when we third and long D'Angelo Amos got there first well you don't have better defensive ends in the country than what they have what John Dhaka seven leads the country and Sachs he gets the inside pressure and then its aim is finishing it off coming from the safety position it's an aggressive defense and when it comes to disruption seven John Dhaka five rondelle card these button defensive ends as good as you'll find in all the FCS the challenge daunting challenge a hit for tray lands today down to the 39 first down bison this is a huge part of what they do third and 11 JMU is going to bring pressure man-to-man outside which means who's going to count for the quarterback just a simple quarterback lead excellent job by 66 Nash Jensen getting on the second level and then trail ants getting it done in the open field quality third down conversion to keep this drive alive you think about the lineage at that position at the school Carson Wentz Houston stick pop Jensen tre Lance the latest down to the 35 yard line picked up about four on the play bring 72 hours of college football coming up folks it starts here today in Frisco it will conclude at the Superdome in Louisiana New Orleans Monday night Clemson taking on LSU opening drive for the Bison play-action winds gonna take a shot up top space flags down a little bit of contact with McCormick and Phoenix Scrolls downfield hard play-action take a shot down the field two Scrolls on the go-round easy call for the officials McCormick way too much contact before the ball past interference number 30 of the defense 15-yard penalty automatic first down that names Broyles familiar cousin a Darren Sproles Cormack trying to get his head around as he does use the right arm Knox proles to the ground as I mentioned easy call for the official he was in pretty good position but then he's kind of looking for the ball panicked a little bit too much contact Toby Johnson in the backfield Lance is gonna keep himself nowhere to go stopped up right near the line of scrimmage by John Dhaka you mentioned his proficiency as a pass rusher 16 and a half sacks on the season offer Marlboro Maryland its speed and quickness he's a small of the defensive ends almost looks like a Safety's always six to 225 but its quickness off the football good hands it's made in such a disruptive force for the streets defensive line second in ten diet Center for Christian action autocracy they glanced over the middle delivers a strike complete through the 7-yard line that scrolls who makes the catch I love this from Trey Lance watch him in the pocket John dock is going to come right now get pressure on the quarterback immediately watch him come in he gets up the field just a side step for Trey Lance no panic and he locates his target Sproles down the field first down in gold those are the ball of the 70 yard line look at the Walter Payton Award winner that's the top player in FCS keeps it himself into the boundary and it's trade a touchdown there's your answer Jonesy impressive Drive reminding the country why trade Lance was a Walter Payton Award winner first time we've ever seen it as a fresh look at a flock here by 75 Dillon Ravens allows Trey Lance to get to the edge and zone excellent job by Dylan Reagan's all-american left tackle securing block to help spring trail ants into the end zone that's his 14th rushing touchdown of the season the 16th of his career and what an answer is he really not in the play is the ball penetrated the goal line the play is being reviewed so like the James Madison University touchdown this one being looked at again and reviewed where's the football football looks like the nose of the ball crossing the front of the goal line bringing Rodgers ready I have to imagine this stands Rodgers yeah it's very tight I think it's going to stay in because that knee comes down it looks like through that view the ball is over the goal line this is very very tight the question is whether that knee gets down before the ball crosses the play and I think this is going to stand as a touchdown I think this is going to be a touchdown but Wesley went to the replay down through but it's it's difficult to tell when the need goes down where that ball is exactly but I think we got a touchdown sorry that must be indisputable video evidence to overturn the pond the field upon the field is touchdown so a 338 to go in the first quarter North Dakota State but as often still on the field it's out there look right there on the goal line it's really hard to tell I see byes and grabbing helmets yeah Rogers I think the thing on the board they're gonna take this doll yeah you're right here's the call after reviewing the play the ball is at the hard line when the runners knee by second down at goal so they line up in the eye there's one more look knees down ball not across the plane and maybe in coalfield lining up out of the I on second and gold coast field gets the power go field there bigger more physical running back which is left foot in the ground top skip maybe a triple jump to get to the end zone for Cofield Cofield a 5-11 jr. from Lee's Summit Missouri and we are knotted at seven apiece what a great start a great showing of offensive football to begin this FCS national championship the Bison that it looks like Fargo and feels like Fargo here in Frisco Texas there's the actuals on their school back up to this Little Jimmy is the favorite statue for photos on the James Madison campus folks you'll notice the statue is perfect to scale at 5 feet oranges at seats at height of our nation's sport present as medicine realistic first down in ten Blue team hands it off to Isaiah over say to say picks up about a yard hanky making the tackle on the play Bend's a new chief they say transfer from pitch came to the J mu a couple years ago even though they didn't have a scholarship for quarterback flag down the pass complete at the 39 yard line - Riley Stapleton let's see if this stands a 13-yard gain on the play he was working against Hayes offside number 91 of the defense the penalty is declined 1st half Riley Stapleton 10 I talked about his size earlier in the first drive 6 5 to 30 he boxes the corner Josh Hayes out right now he's in good shape watch him get inside leverage BAM strong hands and complete the catch drops it it'll be incomplete DiNucci had been a perfect 6+6 prior to that pass but they could almost hear Stapleton saying hey I got a little one here blocking him out I had had a chance to talk with Ben DiNucci on Thursday media day this young man the senior final time he'll play college football show driven based off of the performance gates Colgate last year the entire season was to get to this moment and remedy the turnovers he had a season ago second in 10 the routine complete that time batted away Stapleton tried to do it again and couldn't Josh Hayes not bet away well Josh Hayes their best cover quarter and he wasn't getting boxed out that time a standing job with the right hand in little physical is against that right hand in there gets the past deflection he'd been banged up but he's healthy today and they need him to play a big role for this defense outside a rare third and long for J mu Denis Giada the shotgun we'll a trip select formation and the whistle blows the play dead might but a little moving up front but Dylan Stapleton full start eighty for the offense five yard penalty remains third down make it a third and 15 that's the other half of the brother combination Dylan Stapleton the slippery Rock State transfer I love that story both seniors final game of college football here in a national championship both Dylan and Riley Stapleton taking the field for the final time they get to do it his brothers yeah how awesome is that very cool and to their college careers 13:15 that's gonna be a Jo bezees coming up way short of the first down but tackle by Tusker so the Bison limit that drive and punt unit coming onto the field for J mu with 231 to go here in the first quarter North Dakota State looking for their eighth championship in the last nine years Trevor heit back there for the punt Aereo Kelly averaging about 38 or punt on the season standing at his own 25 rolls out and kicks it would be smile end-over-end fair catch called at the 30-yard line by height a 31 yard punt into the wind it'll be first and 10 coming back to either way for tre Lance 203 to go here in the first quarter watch it all throughout the day 14 Josh Hayes against Dylan are sorry against Riley Stapleton box-out works their box out doesn't work there Riley got the better of Josh on one and Josh got the better of Riley on the other going to be a great matchup all throughout the day good on good the JME wide receivers in the corners of North Dakota State nowhere to go for

deep threat who's is going to go against I'm not so sure it wasn't Watson past interference number 30 of the defense I definitely thought it was going to go on McCormick he panicked for the second time already his second pass interference he's in good position then he just runs through the receiver Christian Watson as he tries to work his way back to the football has McCormick's probably has no idea no awareness where the football Ennis second pass interference here early in this first quarter on thirty West in the corner the deep place right he had a couple it's back a little bit beyond the line of scrimmage dhaka thanks the stub what do you make about the play of the two respective quarterbacks so far they they've both been really good zanucci came out was on point ball was coming out quick they had a plan establishing to run I thought really helped that initial drive and then trail ants we've seen a little bit of bone really impressed with him as a runner but the third down completion he made when he sidestepped the pressure he'll remain calm and found his target shows the poise of the redshirt freshman trail and talk about making lemonade out of lemons and never give up 95 defenses in the coming days the rush they watched the sheer will he's not going to go down finishes his scrum and that's ugly but beautiful football Sam Mark Jones wow what a play by Trey Lantz but

coming down hill with the burst of speed break this tackle a late facemask coming in from hazed an excellent job in the open field that's Hudson second at six don't you by JaJuan Hamilton but nowhere

game for the seventh straight year our mega cast will have you covered from every platform TV radio digital so many ways to watch and listen to the biggest game of the year the coverage begins Monday night at 8:00 Eastern five Pacific my former defensive coordinator print Venables gonna try to slow down Joe Burrell and there's no offense be fun it'll be fun he'd be the first person voted second in age Bujji Duncan falls at the 11-yard line were they gonna spot it you know if you're wrestling fanny no hear the name - new chief it might bring back memories of Dominic DiMucci the former AWA or WCW champ is the cousin of Ben's father but he's got some toughness in the genetics there look at you break it out the old school wrestling he'd be coming off the top rope any day now not that turnbuckle ten play of the drive called by James Madison every good wrestlers gonna have that that closing hold right no doubt was the Cobra or the sleeper you just make it stuff up now know the leg drop I remember the UH the iron claw or the rock had the people's elbow here's a look at how the Dukes got here their only loss was week one against West Virginia significant coach formerly of Elan the defeated Weber State 32:14 in the semi-final game to get here they're the only team other than North Dakota State University to win title 2010 the two schools have really had a lock on it especially the Bison become a little natural rivalry here facing off three the last four years twice now in three years the championship as we showed earlier in 16 North Dakota State out huge third down DaVinci handsome a Jo masae falls in slips short of the first down so fourth down coming up and in comes the field goal unit led by Ethan Lackey who leads the FCS this year and field goals made 25 of 31 on the season on fourth and six he was surprised by the conservative decision there that may have been a run past option in DiNucci thought he had the numbers to give it to the running back foot but his coach Cignetti having along talked them on the sideline from 26 yards out do 14 to 10 now as they draw a little bit closer but can they slow down trail ants and that baizen off edge the Walter Payton Award winner taken the field when we come back my name is tre Lance oh you asked me about perfection I just want to let you know that that's just expectation around here you know everything we do is expected to be perfect you know we come here to win championships and that's what all the guys on our roster came here to do whether it's conference championships and national championships it's funny because dusty you go back to this first game of the season for tre Lance threw for four touchdowns ran for two touchdowns in the win against Butler his dad Carlton who accepted the Walter Payton Award form last night said the wake of that Butler David said son there's only one way to go from here he talked about trying to stay to a high standard and be perfect twenty-eight touchdown passes 56 yard drive Johnson on the return the company that he's with dusty McNair Westbrook Romo Garoppolo a plan this weekend I'd say illustrious list of names air and trail ants the first by the way ever to do it as a freshman what a season he's had you got to give a lot of credit to last year's quarterback Easton stick fifth round pick the LA Chargers really took Lance under his wing a season ago mentored him and got him ready for this moment maintaining the culture out of the direct snap no to go lose about three yards on the play but Flags down to the play as well the Braille cots at time on the direct snap illegal block below the waist 54 of the offense a penalty is half the distance to the gold repeat first down we're gonna push this back all the way inside the 10-yard line and don't forget on Monday night the big one 8 o'clock Eastern Time LSU against Clemson from the Big Easy the prescient city in the shadows of Bourbon Street the undefeated and I'll tell you what I know firsthand LSU in that city a national championship tough team to beat so Burrell has been everything to that program this year if he lives in the back field it's gonna be Lance keeping it Atari while making the tackle comparison and couple of great quarterbacks in their respective leagues and divisions this year dusty both undefeated me as you say neither one of the guys as fresh have lost and lose his freshman and Trevor Lawrence still hasn't lost trade Lance come in today 15 and ohm as a star the most impressive thing interception on the season second in 20 from the nine looks like they're making a face mask definitely rondell Carter made the tackle on the play of flag as well who saw it Lance's head turn around there and this is just a catastrophic penalty second twenty personal foul face mask number five of the defense 15-yard mentally automatic first down and it's an automatic first down and this is just a back-breaking penalty rondell Carter the senior watching get that left hand in there grabs a facemask of Lance easy call by the officials and from what would have been third and 17 18 now an automatic first down costly penalty for such a quality player and rondell Carter one of the best defensive ends and all the FCS we haven't heard from much today but some penalty there to extend this drive for North Dakota State for the Rutgers transfer a book Buchanan nominee lays it out fires across his body incomplete intended for Co porous a throw under a little bit of pressure that time will be second down in 10 at the end of last season his true freshman year the offensive coordinator said hey listen I need you to grab the offense by the horns and be the man next year and he's done all that and then so the tipping point Youngstown State game and he took some deep shots and really started to throw the ball with tons of confidence that is only his second pass attempt today laughs with a nice five-step out over the 30-yard line about about three yards shy of the first down picked up six and an interesting third and about four to go watch the field side to pocket by trade lands looking down the field nothing's open that he missed this tied in there doesn't panic navigates his way through the pressure makes the little something tre Lance and again the toys just no panic this young freshman quarterback 13 for Adam co-ceo in the backyard Lance keeps it himself he's gonna pick up the first down and then a little bit out to the 38 good block on the edge by Josh Babbage picked up 70 yards I want to show you this block it is fantastic tidy going to come back across watch him sill the edge for the quarterback tre Lance take a look the lead us to this linebacker buries him into the ground as tre Lance walks for yet another first down this rushing attack of North Dakota State in his physical and tre Lance a tough guy to bring down Babbitt's likes alone butter and syrup on his pancakes first down in ten to the back works with an oil first down 21-yard pickup this is bully ball right here and this is old school ladies and gentlemen this is a quarterback under center we've got three guys in the backfield quarterback under center old school Smash Mouth football just a simple power and it's power football as you take a look at ty Brooks running through arm tackles in the open field the Bison looking for the endzone here in the center the bursary can contains we'll take a look at college football player with an in-depth documentary on who the player has been and how he has changed over the years and recognizing how the sport's biggest heroes enjoy a unique place

things into my life can't say enough how much I love the great sport college football I see those nice suits you wear something else came into your life do it football lands on the Gary picks up 8 quarterback countered as we said he's a true freshman he doesn't look or play like a true freshman Jonesy playing the role of running back more so than quarterback today 17 runs ditches to pieces this North Dakota State offense and you were saying you're not surprised that they haven't thrown a hole right there waiting for it they take over bond a time for James Madison the completely laid off and they'll take some shots go field in the backfield and up front to gain 11 yards Adam Adam Cofield a little bit bigger more physical runner they used a bevy of running back Scofield Brooks and Johnson in the eye again Lance gets it up quickly completes it to Jacob and Jacob gets about four on the play Lance is one of the highest rated quarterbacks that North Dakota State has ever gotten out of high school out of Marshall Minnesota and committed early to North Dakota State and then on the day before signing day Boise State contacted him said they had a scholarship form but he held firm in his commitment tenth player drives coming up second and six let's close it out there's a flag down on the play on the far side of the field let's see if it stands Ellefson actually tripped but still was able to make the decoration on that if it stands it'll be a six touchdown catch of the year love these tight ends in the red zone we'll see if this stands but prior to that throw 16 touchdown receptions for the three different tight ends we showed you how important they are as blockers in the run game but also excellent pass catchers as well ineligible receiver number 82 of the offense he was covered up by the wide receiver five-yard penalty replay second down we get it take it off the board and bring it back the Ellison the tight-end was covered up easy call to the official negate the touchdown it's off of the screen wide receiver was up on the line of scrimmage comes back to the 23 second and 11 Lance is going to keep it and forges its way forward to the 20-yard line picked up three on the play Wayne Davis making the tackle third down coming up they've got to get down to the 12 yard line for the first down we haven't heard much out of one Christian Watson so far today a great time to locate six-foot-three 200 pound wide receiver out of Tampa he comes to the bottom of the screen Scrolls to the top on 3rd and 8th lands plenty of time coke field couldn't make the catch and the Dukes get a stop on third down the pass was a little bit behind trail ants it's a team that likes to go for it on fourth down but they'll send in the field goal unit here nice cover Reinholds coming in this is gonna be his first field goal attempt of the season was injured in the first game of the year danger to this bridge head coach Matt Entz pulling out all the stops this has been a big difference for North Dakota State these shifts in the first game of the season where they were going for two seen them fake a lot of different extra points and it's James Hendricks to safety Kaymer is a quarterback as the holder they trust him with the ball in his hands well time and perfectly executed for North Dakota State boy what a demoralizing play that is if you're changed Madison and just the opposite for the Bison while James Madison thought they had a stock and North Dakota State says you know what we're not settling for three excellent blocking here it opens up for Hendrix as he strolls into the endzone touchdown bison we got action in Frisco one more look at the fake field goal for a touchdown Hendrick with the - into the endzone for North Dakota State in pursuit of perfection 15 and OH coming into the game today and that's what perfect looks like perfect timing perfect call perfect results 3:47 ago in the first half the dangerous returner with bounds at about the 29 yard line first down and 10 go to state looking for their eighth championship in the last nine years that's seven of them overall 36 game winning streak in lawsuits 2017 and check out that winning percentage as impressive as it gets dusty you had an interesting country to play unsportsmanlike conduct number 28 of the kicking team a late hit 15-yard penalty first down James Madison we're talking about their culture and coach said it's about the way we work but here's a look at the penalty a moment ago against that all the way through the 43-yard line the shop plate over the middle out near midfield Stapleton picks up seven on the play Dylan Stapleton six foot five inch senior from Indiana Pennsylvania they'll run it for the first down that's a Jo bisaya the James Madison was supposed a little bit more tempo and pace here got themselves down two scores put on the accelerator start this drive they over say on that last carry DiNucci with time stands clearly and delivers complete once again it's Stapleton for a 19 yard pickup what a day so far for the Stapleton brothers Dylan Stapleton over the middle of the field concentration as he completes the catch through contact a start to this drive for the Dukes under three minutes to go in the half Bellucci one-on-one coverage and out of bounds no chance to make that catch that was the other Stapleton brother Riley Stapleton Marky's bridges getting physical over there with Riley Stapleton Stapleton say Amen hey where's the flag I ran out of balance replay they choose to take a shot here you would think hose it into the end zone intercepted by state Hendricks Hendriks made the play a moment ago but I think DiNucci knew he had a free one no doubt offside number 60 of the defense five-yard penalty replay second down it's gonna go against Tucker how big as a score for James Madison here it's a must right now because North Dakota State three possessions three touchdowns Hayes Madison is yet to slow down this offense so we explain certain half like the score at this point is essentially I got a trip right formation will see this big incomplete pass passes ruled incomplete but Jabril Cox brought that smoke on poke with turbo Cox the most athletic I think best defensive player on this Bison defense quality job detached from the core over here by the near sidelines makes a big hit watch him fight through this and get through fights through the state with him block boom big hit on Brandon Polk David a third medium David brought the defensive coordinator for the Bison was telling us he is a defensive coordinators dream third and five for tonichi once bit lied to the bottom of your screen single coverage they come the other way konnichi dancing at the 23-yard line with nowhere to go logan mccormick sent them for 2-yard loss was excellent coverage down the field there's gonna be pressure that comes immediately off the edge by Merck Adelle see he's gonna come here but there's nowhere to go with the football the new cheese waiting for it locked up locked up locked up everyone covered down the field and it's a coverage sack for Logan McCormack another stop for the Bison defense fifth sack from McCormick on the season Ethan Raffy in to attempt his second one of the day they blow the whistle first he had connected from 26 little earlier this afternoon timeout their first charge 30 second time I'd say that the Bison were trying to put rocky on ice but it's too late it's cold already sixteen teams are involved in the playoff of the FCS they're actually eight that play into it so 24 and all it is the playoff that so many people really love to see where you actually crown a champion and start with so many dusty the FCS is the highest division college football go old a playoff tournament sanctioned by the NCAA you like the system I think it's great they played a lot of football go bright I mean this is a 16th game this January 11 for each of these respective teams so they played a lot of football but I do it's it's a true champion and what better finish do you have than one versus two rocki gonna try it again 39 yards out and hit the right no good it made the one that the corn was made on the timeout joints the words you don't like to hear if you're a kicker look like that ball was trying to come in try to come back laughter move the ball downfield and getting within scoring range they come up empty huge drive here for this JMU defense less than two minutes to go on the clock already down two scores gotta find a way to come up with a stop both wheels in the backfield takes the handoff we'll push to the balance at about the 25 yard line his dad was a 10-year pro in both the National Football League as well as the Canadian Football League Adam Koch field at Elysee Summit Missouri 511 jr. little over 200 pounds second down and eight 1:40 to go in the first half but Cignetti supportive of his starting quarterback there we get a J mu player down on the field that looks like John dakka dakka you gotta have him outstanding defensive end leading all the FCS coming in today and sacks and tackles for loss and ill afford to lose now his skillset and productivity from the 25 I'm working on that right leg of doctor McKinley whose bath Oh we'll run it to the line side of the field this is tie books Brooks picks up six on the play by Brooks came into the game with 940 rushing yards five nine senior from Fargo North Dakota have definitely taken their time and because depending on the outcome of this play they're more than content to take it the locker room up 11 closest call that the Bison have had in the fire there's a nine-point Illinois State rectified where is she subsequent adapt his land speech to themselves do you see any of the blueprint that James Madison is using here today that Illinois State while most was able to trip them up with Illinois Lee states defensive line just had an outstanding day against North Dakota State they got asked him they shut down North Dakota state's running game and so no from that standpoint a half James Madison has not been able to slow down the running attack of the Bison so far here today but that was the key his bison football team is so much built on the run game just three yards of carry a couple of weeks ago against Illinois State get a stop out of this defense here not welcome score to my face take a shot up top there's a flag down on the far side of the field he came a latest Charleston was back there in coverage look here Charles Toth working on Sproles right hand oh yeah grab into Jersey that was easy Rogers would he make of that one rule is the rule says that if there's an obvious intent to impede to receiver to the ball we're having the jersey like that pulling him back that's a great call but if it's a pass interference I got at the wheel that Rodgers thank you first and ten Lance incomplete at the 37-yard line intended for Kapur Asst the Western Michigan transfer one of the great stories said boy that's a bad look for J mu John Dhaka over the best pass rushers and players up front hindered big-time we unable to even put pressure on that leg not a good sign he's so integral to what they do creating negative plays in the defensive side the tough loss if we can't attend they're five heavy lifting up Clark six Lincoln's to go hit hard 20 yard line with three seconds left we do a little Hail Mary here or yeah the clock bandage on this she's just kinda hard looks like they were just content to take into the half they take their shot down the field and yeah sure now they're gonna take a shot the endzone but it's almost as if they couldn't make their mind up on what they wanted to do just a quarterback on back-to-back plays taking shot yeah the big shot there's he goes to the ground the play before it is he threw the football so protect that quarterback he's the merchandise that'll look out for the product the guy who's described as mature prepares extremely well very calm disposition and demeanor and loves football take a look at Fargo all right the lowest recorded temperature in Fargo - 39 Fahrenheit reported in February the highest temperature a hundred and fourteen July 6 1936 who pops it into the spectrum it's fires Williams down at the 29-yard line to end the first half of play little scuffle down in the field play a fight left in the boots but they'll go into the locker room trailing by 11 points with North Dakota State looking for their eighth national championship behind the Walter Payton Award winner Trey Lance let's go downstairs to Olivia Thank You coach James Madison averages over 41 points per game to holding them to 10 get them on schedule a little bit that first series we write down the field we struggled on third down we didn't do a good job of forcing minutes of second of Long's our kids are doing a better job at tackling we need to continue to work on it just they're going a little bit quick or faster than maybe what we anticipated we got to get lined up a little quicker but I think we could play better yet on defense did you address that in the locker room for these guys who have been here so many times before you just have a better sense of urgency out there we got too many guys I love the fact that we're excited about making plagues but we got to get lined up get ready for the next one thank you all right they lead it by 11 points at the brink coming up after this short break Kevin oh Gandhi Jonathan Vilma Mark Sanchez will join you it's called super blimp national champion our halftime report tree links is anything less than perfect unacceptable the North Dakota State University bison 30 minutes away from perfection as we welcome you back to the FCS national championship game here in Frisco Texas Toyota Stadium as we put a cap and forget a great weekend of championship football Monday night it's the national championship FBS FCS here a letter difference but it's all about chips and winning titles dusty as we start this the third quarter J mu how did it get back at the ballgame they've got a stop North Dakota state's ability to run the football the Bison ran for over 200 yards in that first half I think it's crucial and also special teams right you had the Bison convert on a fake field goal for a touchdown a missed field goal for J mu but for them to get back in this game they've got us float on that rushing attack of North Dakota State v zone I get the football first here Johnson brought down at the 25-yard line will be first down in ten from there for the offense of the Walter Payton Award winner the top player in FCS football Trey Lance there's a look at some of the cogent numbers from the first half of play James Madison missing a field goal opportunity late in the second quarter when the ball caroms off the upright amazingly we have a transformation in weather with the Sun coming out still kind of cold down there on the field and also appear in the booth but much better-looking that it was couple of hours ago when he kicked off was this defense hold up let's brought down at the 27 yard line Olivia what do you have on James Madison University and while Curt Cignetti is not happy he told me that first half was not JME football and although Signet his background has done offense the first thing he brought up to me was defense he said miss tackles were not playing to our standard good news for them though you see back on the field is John Daka he went in before halftime was stretching out it was touch and go according to coach for a little bit he told me he wasn't even sure until I saw a doctor right now he's got the most sacks and tackles for loss in the FCS big win for them Olivia awesome news to have him back on the field for the boots they filled it straight ahead short of the first down stopped up by Holloway after the three yard gain talked about the transformation in temperature is what it looked like prior to kick-off players around here warming up included Christine Watson they're shirtless even though the temperatures were around 19 degrees that's what you were doing a pregame heck no the layers and layers on Dustin got these hand warmers still on hold on to today though for Watson as they trouble Dakota State gets it back trail ants pouncing on the loose ball but the Dukes get the stop that they needed on third down so they're gonna get the football on the punt way rarity for trail ants put the ball on the ground at the mesh point the exchange as Lance pulls it I think the running back to meet your Williams thought he was going to keep it ball is on the ground Lance is able to get on top of it but a crucial stop out of half first of the game for the JMU defense now keep an eye on DeAngelo Amos number 24 he has an 85 yard punt return right away at the 39-yard line good coverage by Michel Tutsi but been DiNucci will have good starting field position on this opening drive of the third quarter don't forget coming up on Monday Bourbon Street as they they say they won't all rule a rule we we let the good times roll down there dusty it'll be some great football it's not an LSU all weekend the football on Monday you big on some beats at tu fais guy oh yeah down in ten as Riley Stapleton - stapling Brothers had a huge first-half combined and 103 yards receiving between them the rest of the team had nine safe to say they've been staple a staple is invincible so far love enough Dylan Stapleton this excellent tied in and Riley such a mismatch at 6'5 outside they faked the jet sweep and hand it off to Isaiah bogus rage and he's bumped down about 5 yards shy of the first down they over say ran for almost 1,200 yards during the regular season how big would it be for the Dukes to get a score on this opening drive the quarter and start with the defense now the offense already on the move and we see them all day go little up tempo still on the lease and another first down all the way down to the 27 yard line 16 yard pickup that time put his penetration up the field by the Bison defense and it's patience an excellent cut put the right foot the ground make a man miss and a Jo was say out in the open field and the Dukes are on the move junior from Frederick Maryland getting a breather handed off the palmar that's who freshman Palmer physical running back true freshmen as you mentioned he's 511 almost 230 pounds and he lowered the shoulder lowered the boom there and a bison defender before he went to the ground and a stoic stone face look from head coach Kirk Cignetti second and four hand it off again to Palmer the true freshman comes up about a yard and a half shy of the first down third down coming up and Mama's gonna get the first down with a couple yards to spare at the 16 yard line so now the dupes are rolling up their sleeves are looking very much like the dukes of that opening drive of the ball game when they marched it down the field into the end zone a little bit of physicality there on that run couple of quality runs a true freshman Palmer inside zone not much there but he fights his way for a first down and as you mentioned most productive drives since the open picks up eight inside the ten-yard line but yet he said that he got a inspirational text from the sister Lisa earlier this week amongst all the chatter and all the static noise the text simply said quote you got this Jayamma say stopped up that time right near the line of scrimmage third down coming up still going quick when a receiver screen complete stapleton know where to go trying to fight for extra yards and an intriguing fourth down coming up now as Josh Hayes makes the tackle this is an outstanding individual effort by Josh Hayes outside take a look at him fight through this two brothers down there both the Stapleton's 84 Dylan Josh Hayes gets his hands on and throws him to the ground makes a huge tackle in the open field on the big 65 230 pound receiver Riley Stapleton Josh Hayes rolling the sleeves up and getting work done on the perimeter impressive tackle on the edge in Lisbon twenty-seven and no doubt about that one so they cash in a field goal on their opening drive the third quarter Cignetti wanted a little bit more the defense gonna get another opportunity for a stop as rondell Carter breaks it down for us I've came here to James Madison great program great institution been around some great teammates and I've been blessed with these guys I have a chance to go out with a W for my final game and it will be nothing short of amazing but I can do that the signs tell the story signs everywhere all themselves the piece of the east in Harrisonburg merci ready to go to work when they get back on the field put on you Joe that's the coat I was somebody bought at the formula for the guys and Johnson brought down at the 26 yard line the state of North Dakota I'm not sure I've ever eaten northern pike I've had every other type of fish dusty oh it's delightful is it whitefish is a gaming or not tasty okay I'll take mine blanket 13 think State of the Union got a lot of people up in Minnesota haven't ventured across the border to North Dakota yet I gotta get that change Gort open field tackle on coke field by the linebacker dmitriy holloway it was so good we want to let you hear it I said they're by the fifth year senior Dmitri Holloway all over the field they secure tackle an open space he was hurt in the first quarter the 2016 title game the chance for atonement and retention here against the Bison this afternoon there's backside Heat oh we felt him coming and shook off the would-be sack and made a play out of it what that is why he is the top player in FCS football what's John docker come off the edge here comes clean again no panic off the edge John Daka could be a slide to right beats the running back gets clean and Tre Lance feels that pressure from his left steps underneath it and is able gets the perimeter and pick up enough to get a first down here play by tree played the position what's that feel like when you miss a freebie like that Cofield on the run can't leave bunny on the field that's what happens when when you leave sacks in the field but that's that's a huge part of what makes trade Lance so tough to defend he's got ice the back of his head and he's constantly looking down the field so if somebody comes open he'll pull the trigger head coach Cignetti said they want to be fast visible relentless but play with controlled emotion technique second down and seven a look at the numbers on three lines today thousand yards this season barely gets back to the line of scrimmage Wayne Davis the ohio state buckeyes transfer making the tackle on the play a third down coming up in a blink for the Bison Davis is there Nichol five they bring him off the edge quite a bit there and that was a slow developing quarterback Connor Davis unscathed off the edge gets there it gets lanced to the ground setting up for today an uncommon third and long situation this is where these defensive ends these guys that have a quotient of accumulated 28 sacks combined these two have got to be able to get home protection and incomplete batted away by Wayne Davis on consecutive plays he comes up big for J mu there's no pressure outstanding job by the bison offensive line gave Trey Lance plenty of time to survey the field but as Wayne Davis we talked about the Nickelback undercutting the route in excellent position and really Jonesy should have had probably the first Trey Lance interception of the season either way second putt for this Bison offense in the second half great start for the J mu defense we saw a shot of DeAngelo Amos standing his own 25-yard line he's taken one back 85 yards this year on a punt return for touchdown filled by roske Italy smothered swarmed and stopped the long snapper getting downfield and making a play Amos with nowhere to go last year James Madison lost their head coach Mike Houston and rumors about his departure started to swirl around right before playoffs people within the program said that caused a lot of unrest within the team was unfocused and failed underachieved so this time around Herc's at neti he decided to handle it himself he didn't want history to repeat itself so he tweeted a simple reply no it's not set him up for a strong playoff run you could deserve him great job Olivia's to one hamilton runs it for a couple of yards jackson Enki faking to stop its going to levy eight any concern right right didn't want his players thinking this could be happen change the mindset of this football team cuz they hear that too right absolutely everybody hears the noise and fired up Curt Cignetti over on the sidelines trying to get James Madison their third national championship 14:18 spins out of trouble picks up about three the ball coming up after he was down way G making to stop on the play third down and about little distance to go six to go to a defensive tackle quality rush there gets a piece of DiNucci he's able to sidestep and get a little bit extra yardage but only quality inside rush on the Bison Brandon folks Lipton's off your screen with all that speed but a somewhat quiet the note she comes over the middle complete to Stapleton that's Riley who attends the ball trying to pick up the first down and it looks like they're gonna give it to him very auspicious spot six yard gate when the James Madison offense is needed to play you know what's going to it's one of the Stapleton brothers Riley Stapleton with yet another big catch for the Dukes with a big semi final game public touchdown catches against Weber State to get the war must intend to live in fear and smiling back with the 17-yard line that's going to be a sack by Derrick Fusco that's 13 and a half sacks were him on the Year Tusker working on Raymond Gillespie watch him just right here coming off the edge first-team all-american gets the rip up whereas litt lasat his pass Russian talking with defensive coordinator David brought he told us about his motor just a relentless football player and this year's conference Defensive Player of the Year and a heck of a pilot - that's right the journalist 17:17 Kenichi completed Ravenel makes the catch to pick up seven while the tube nation ammunation going up here in Frisco Texas under a luminous irradiance sky now here in Frisco try to hang on to the football down by eight third and long got a watch right here on this third down Riley Stapleton he's been the go-to guy this entire afternoon OHE n times a real estate throws it was he over the line of scrimmage it was closed completes it to Stapleton but we got a flag on the play as I said he might have been over the line of scrimmage when he threw that full to yard illegal forward pass number six of the offense is beyond the line of scrimmage but the pass was thrown 5-yard penalty from that spot loss of down fourth down the black line here on the replay represents the line of scrimmage so as you could tell at home clearly the line of scrimmage and easy call in the correct call by the officials so the punt unit comes on led by Harry o Kelly the Bison will get decent field position Teli averaging about 39 yards per Trevor heit standing back there at his own 41 the Kelly hasn't had any blocked issue right with the fair catch all the way back at the 34 a 45-yard punt nothing on the return first and 10 we come back Mark Jones as I've done all year I'm trying to educate you people a tribe if the name chase it just Dakota because they think the norm in the name makes the state sound cold it ain't the name it's the state that makes it cold no it's cold you're right Monday night LSU taking on clumsy to the college football playoff national title game and for the seventh straight year our mega cast will have you covered from every platform TV radio digital so many ways to watch and listen to the biggest game of the year college football national championship college football playoff national championship game Monday at 8:00 Eastern which one you can watch going on my everything click it all around love the mega colleges sit in your man cave just suddenly remote on an outstanding football game like we're having this play here under 35 first and Ted he's like the middle to Adam Cole field nowhere to go ran into a world of tacklers led by rondell Carter amongst others rondell Carter John Dhaka we think that entire defensive line they're winning the point of attack winning the line of scrimmage something they didn't do very often in that first half but a third drive here for the Bison the second áthen J mu is resurfaced from halftime with a different mindset and defensive side of the football circuit and nine backs lining up out of the eye it says man on the back here the feedback loop teeth and he picks up a first down Hunter Yuki out of Spencer Wisconsin 6-1 freshmen 249 pounds nice catch this is part of the problem watching just sneak out when you load up to stop the run game you're over committed and you forget about a fullback just thinking out to the flats and an easy pitching catch for trail ants Elson with the catch but Ellison's had an outstanding career what's up foot the ball comes out boom hits his back foot falls out right on his target Ben Ellefson big tide in all alone nice job of recognition by Trey Lance to getting the ball out quick to his intended target through Hawley Minnesota about 20 miles east of Fargo it's the second longest pass of the day OSI has a big-time prospect coming out of high school Perdue Christian company - big loss on the play well earlier we saw the setup Sproles kept that they faked it to watson this time they're gonna toss it to watson watch dhaka here and in the outside corner back both these guys stay at home and are right there to make the play on the reverse and shut christian watson down for nothing and a huge loss putting the Bison way behind the sticks there's a look at Watson the guy that can really fly hasn't been able to cut it loose here today see to himself and has stopped up behind the line of scrimmage this defense is really energized us well this is a defense that you watch on tape number one in the FCS rush defense given up just over 61 yards per game on the year that's not who we saw in the first half but that's exactly who showed up and has the Dukes back in this game here in the second half they've been intransigent and impervious in the third the FCS possible championship continues after this message and a word from our ABC stations and the Bison keep grumbling in a decade of dominance for North Dakota State University and the Bison the lineage is very impressive the procession of hardware and championships unprecedented at this level entering the game today 36 consecutive wins what that is anything less than a championship is a sea suit a season of unfulfilled expectations 13:23 for North Dakota State wow this guy is electric they hilt real ants it's a- wooden yards rushing in that third quarter and he opens up the fourth quarter with a massive play 30:23 that can't happen can't happen no spy for trail ants no one to account for him and he hits the afterburners and takes it to the house what a play by the redshirt freshman his fourteenth rushing touchdown of the season 16th of his career and he demonstrates why they won the Walter Payton Award last night as the outstanding player in FCS they go by 15 one way to start the final 15 minutes take a look at this play give me a sign run quick trade Lance and once he identifies man-to-man coverage he's going to see this hole coming back here it's off to the races learn man-to-man coverage I mention no spy it's not so in coverage so there's not a bunch of eyeballs on the quarterback a couple of nice blocks down the field and the rest is trade Lance a back-breaking play by the redshirt freshman again third and 23 and you let him out the gate and through the house for an exclamation mark to start this fourth quarter back in the fall taking over from Easton stick the winningest quarterbacks in FCS history wait lineage at that position he's due stick tre Lance one of the most dynamic football players dusty that we've seen all year we've done the 18 weeks of this this is one of the best quarterbacks football players we've seen this does he remind you of anyone in particular does he fit the mold of anyone you've seen yeah tre Lance this guy he's fantastic and you saw the physicality and his ability as a runner but it's been on display today more so than probably all season he's a fantastic thrower too but I'm just so impressed by the poise and how the moment isn't too big for a redshirt freshman the day chief makes the toss takes a shot down beyond complete to a 45 yard line going back a little bit I was hoping that maybe you might go like poor-man's Lamar Jackson for me in college at Louisville oh they're different kind of plays see a bunch of Finney Lamar he took off pretty well I'm just saying he can he can roll then he's more of a big physical back whereas the March acts on us he's Lamar he's got speed boats going all the time nice play there behind the line of scrimmage I'll show you Missy being brought down by Kaiser these are guided there's so many different things for them defensively The Dukes need to answer here pretty simple - new chief as I always say wasn't expecting it and it's incomplete sitting up third down then twelve good pressure DiNucci on the move trying to just make something happen quarterback running back feel like Jonesy very crucial third and 12 here early on the fourth quarter folks Agneta talked about the seniors in the great leadership they've had and done this year DiNucci had a typical nine almost picked off by Jabril Cox instead its fourth and long and they'll have to punt it away was inside presents the defensive tackle is able to get his hand up watch here as he comes inside tease it inside it was fifty three gold cards as they ran a inside game as he's coming across gets his ride hand up gets enough for the football to force the punt there's a look at Trevor heit back there for the punt from Harry Oh Kelley standing at his own 35 there triples all the way down to the 21 yard line first down in 10 for trail ants and North Dakota State looking for their eighth national title he would take back to Fargo North Dakota mark Josette a question for you how many secret societies can you think of well James Madison has one called in eight they say that they're a benevolent charitable organization supporting the J mu community oh so you think you got me on this right do you think you got me on this don't you I think I got one for you what you got one at Princeton I think called a a7 or something like that are you Virginia are we cook yes Virginia yeah through the break you can google it see if you can figure it out oh you trying to say I'm cheating on the run picks up about three yards on the play freelance played in a couple of games as a true freshman last year and former three-star recruit one of the topics or higher rated quarterbacks they've ever had come to North Dakota State always felt that he wanted to play for the Bison last night his dad Carlton accepting the award on his behalf study his playbook did he get his rest second and seven Lance will set up a third down in about two picks up five folks for more information about the FCS college football championship visit ncaa.com your online home of the NCAA championships and it's a great event by the way first goes become home to this championship setting and I just think from the fanbase to this beautiful Stadium everything surrounding this game being on ABC awesome for the FCS and for these players and coaches and fan bases The Dukes need to stop here Lance runs it comes up short they get the stop on third and two it'll be fourth in about one well they said Tyler roll the offensive coordinator for the Bison told us in our meeting yesterday hey they got some dudes on defense especially those defensive ends Daka rondell Carter Wayne Davis they're the nickel bags made several plays here in this second half unblock coming off the edge he flies in and gets the big hit on trail ants to force fourth down so Tyler roll the former player North Dakota State University been there for 12 years nobody knows the culture and understands the corporate knowledge better than he does a great punt by Wagner buys a miss all the way back to the 20 a dangerous punt returner they could use one here across midfield patiently and puts J mu in good starting field position here look like he was trapped but he does his best Harry Houdini he takes it back 34 okay you know those apps that you feel like you would just be lost without well here's one that you would actually just be

stopped up after a gain of about four on the play what if you live in Fargo North Dakota you're making your way down to Frisco that's something that you need to get on your phone it's like Fargo South here in January yes it does second and six this is camera Danny the first down down to the 31-yard line the tro Palmer on consecutive runs gets 11 I love this patients here this is a powered downhill runner but watch him show the patience to test the right side nothing there keeps with it and it opens up off the left side for a big pickup nice piece of running by the true freshman as they always say back in the ball game at tailback a little chat with James Maloney new quarterback in Maloney in fur play for tonichi picks up 7 Lucchese in the game our wide receivers he's down here at the bottom dan malloy taking other directs yard on that play Shane Montgomery the offensive coordinator giving them a different look defensively ten minutes to go here the fourth-quarter Detroit about 15 and now delucci comes back under center and Maloney splits out wide down there with Brandan Pope today 15 is Latrobe bomber again and they pick up a first down an eight-yard game what a second half here by the truck Palmer touchdown here piled up at about the 12 game-2 true freshmen 511 228 pounds out of Boyd's Maryland Zao bus a and Hamilton sharing the carries this afternoon right now as a Oba sayin and today chi-square wide again his bologna came back in under center or at least out of the shotgun to take the snap what do you make it the difference any guess interesting I mean clearly it's a lot of running quarterback run with it and then just a handoff there but it expects at this point inside the red area about Riley Stapleton six foot five 230 pounds lined up right there with his brother we saw a similar formation earlier he got a slant Charlie Stapleton Angeles taking photos but it looks like he stopped up short of the first down that was Riley Stapleton making the reception you take a field goalie to go for it here on no you can't beat a field goal you got 15 points week ok 8 minutes to go this is going to do two touchdowns the game inside handoff numbers on 4th down in left guard moved left guard moved travell Wilson number 69 thought star-69 of the three veins fourth down or you talk about imploding partner and not a grievous error there he's just going to give a little bit of movement right before easy called the official now back so mom throw down territory the 12 is dwelled on the last fourth down conversion attempt Stapleton brothers to the top of your screen the nutrients take off - himself put his hat down let's see where they spotted it looks like he got it it is right on the stripe boy Ben DiNucci figured it was time to do it himself he had to make a play he to lose the sticks what a crucial force down you see your bids a new chief so they switch to play makin Mason konnichi tries to hit Decatur incomplete for Pope stops the clock with 659 to go second and goal that's one that the new chief wishes he had back pulk came came clean out of his break little picker out there opened him up clean and just an overthrow of a no-good branded pole Oh blinds up to the top of your screen this time when you see the screen so the Stapleton brothers doing it again and here come the Dukes the 655 to go VIN zanucci with the big conversion on that fourth down run what's two tight ends out here he's gonna sell here he's gonna steal here it opens wide up and then the big physicality of Riley Stapleton we've talked about from the opening drive he's 65 to 30s a tough cover and tough to tackle huge touchdown drive by James Madison it's an eight-point game back in 2017 there was another close one just like this one shaping up to be DiNucci with a great delivery for the touchdown playing a football a Monday night at 8:00 Eastern five Pacific on ESPN National Championship game presented by 18 t I've been a jumper number one LSU Trevor Lawrence number three Clemson at mercedes-benz Superdome and the Big Easy that's on ESPN also on the ESPN we anticipated day night I can't wait man I'm tired up what do you got man you've been asking me all day and don't say Tigers I just think that their experience in this situation and the fact that they really do feel I think like they've been snuffed most of the year almost a touchdown on the top daba doesn't like that at the 21-yard line and in case you were wondering that is what our promotional football looks like give me that ball oh you know you'd never touch me when you look at the way that clenches defense okay Clemson's defense against LSU's office key matchup isaiah simmons and how they disguise it because the thing is if Joe burrow knows what's coming forget about it you have to disguise pre-snap post map and that guy's Deus Simmons allows so much versatility for coach Bennett was defense you got a little being that underdog and he's got new bulletin board material for his crew just with location of this game he said hey it's a home game for LSU it'd be like if London were playing the national title game in Greenville South Carolina the excuse he used and then Lauren Rutledge is covering the game she told me the coach Oh said today he circled this game on the calendar knowing it's new in New Orleans said hey we had to figure out a way to get there it's a great story oh noes to the tight end Ken Dorf it was deflected to but tremendous concentration by him for the 22-yard game concentrations hit watch land award the linebacker right in the throwing Lane get to flex the ball get Dorf concentration eyes on it strong hands brings it in I love the tight ends for North Dakota State Ellis we talked about Ginn Dorf Babbage both sophomores they use all three highly productive players in the run and throw game close to another first down they give them the first down at the 45 of JM you you talked about it a little bit earlier dusty Ellison five touchdowns Babich five touchdowns in Dorf six I'll go but I've seen that roster our entire season work those tight ends have so many touchdowns you see when you get in the red area that's what happens and watch here look at this block there's batiks look at him just sealing the edge and allowing Lance to get there so it's the touchdown receptions and they spread the well with the blocking on the perimeter so crucial to this offense first and ten to hand it off to Adam Cole field plowing ahead for a couple more yards with 5:16 to go the clock running J mu with three timeouts remaining and one other aspects it helps that the offensive coordinator Tyler rolls is also the full-backs and tight ends goes right so that so he's making sure that all his guys are able to eat keeping them happy getting them getting their touches in the red zone remember Tyler roll goes down in full floor for North Dakota State hit a big game in that win against the Minnesota Gophers back in the day and it's not unusual for the pies into sick an FBS team usually second in eight Lance can run it inside the 40 down to the 39 puts up a third down about four to go doc I'm making the tackle working his clock right now they can afford to be pretty purposeful here leading by eight you have to take quarterback run game right I mean there's no doubt betray Lance is going to have this football in his hands see if the Dukes had come up with the answer and get a stop Johnson split to the top of the screen took off a little bit early that looks like it's gonna go against the bicep false start eighty to the offense five yard penalty remains third down also one of those veterans a senior poor he has urban defensive coordinator for J mu we haven't seen many spy techniques today but they're gonna have to do something to account for the quarterback run game of trail ants we saw it earlier on third and 23 they elected to play man-to-man coverage opened up the middle of field and trail ants made on pay how do they defend trade lands to the quarterback run game here gonna be important there's his show and they stopped him short by about two yards so it's fourth down coming up on the fringes of field goal range a grocer whose long this year's only 46 oh it's go time right now I'm gonna keep the offense on the field Matt Entz first year coach aggressive we saw the aggressive play calling earlier with the fake field goal now as they were ticking down to three minutes a first down doesn't ice it but to put you in great situation play the game right here Marc Jones three minutes away from perfection glance keeps it and he's gonna start looks like they stopped them short let's see where they spot it you can never be sure and that's going to be first down coming back the other way James Madison University two minutes 51 to go towards perhaps potentially tying this game up foxy is being plus t2 inside the college football player behind the scenes access for the semi finals are three of the four part series is now streaming on ESPN plus some great access and insights some of the inner workings of the college football playoff three minutes to go here and all year James Master University has felt widely that this game against North Dakota State was preordained that they would have another shot at atonement and retribution for that loss a couple of years ago in the title game would throw Palmer with a nice run it's up about seven on the play one of these two streaks will come to an end the Bison at 36 straight the Dukes with 14 in a row konnichi hands it off to Hamilton Hamilton with a first down into bison territory at the 49 a seven-yard pickup he's got three timeouts remaining nice piece of writing there by JaJuan Hamilton patient and then bursts through the hole when it opened up for a first down looking for the double pass to the 42 like a Botox so it's a double pass and it's extremely well defended the tight ends going to try to come on a deep post and he's covered so the nude she's going to take the pass and he's looking down the field and really it's just a one receiver route and it's perfectly covered by the safeties of North Dakota State you see six James Hendricks former quarterback we've talked about his father was a high school coach very smart football player he was not going to be fooled they had been trying to set that up Jonesy over and over with Bologna DiNucci in and out they tried to hit him with the big shot down the field well defended by North Dakota State well tonight after the NFL rewind on years bench the ground for SportsCenter Michael eaves Zubin McKenzie will have the Ravens tighten postgame coverage for LSU clubs in the approaches SportsCenter tonight and the ESPN app konnichi back second in eighteen three receivers out the Itchy completes the pass to his tight end Dylan Stapleton and Stapleton gets back some of that yardage out to the 49 yard line a pickup of nine third down under two minutes to go taking a while to get this play in tick tock tick tock obviously on third down you want to get the right play in but they think at some point they take the top off a little bit locust foot to the bottom you scream to Stapleton Stapleton even if we stomped up about four yards short of the first down 1:15 to go the zone coverage Dylan Stapleton setting up just inside linebacker death easy pitching and it looks like he's going to have just enough let's see where they spotted and they're gonna give him the first down to Hamilton brought down by Hankey 49 seconds to go the clock running to duty under duress give up a sack he was outside the pocket and the ball beyond the line of scrimmage good pressure by karch job to keep his balance it looked as if he was falling backwards in a spot that as you mentioned you just cannot take a sack I love the fourth down call I liked the innovation with shovel pass underneath I just hate how much time is under review in the spot relation to the first down we go back and look at the last one the fourth down play goat Cignetti getting a clarification bison on that last play looked like they were running guys onto the field at the time that the ball was snapped so we're going to review the spot of the first down on the previous play that was the announcement from the field 41 seconds to go the ball right now spotted at the 39 reward a riveting finish here in Frisco Texas as North Dakota State looks for its 8th national championship and amazingly its 37th win in a row reviewing the spot from the previous play a little shuffle pass for the first down take one more look at it as we ride it back it's it falling he when he goes down and looks as if that ball it's right there on the yellow 9 which is breather 39 Rodgers anything you see this can overturn this call I think it's gonna be very difficult to overturn it because first down let's see this replay right here the question is where the ball is we're a body part other than that you know the body part is it down so that's the so that's the spot where the ball should be so it's a little shorter that it's hard to tell where that is in relation to the lines of game so my opinion is they'll have to let this stand because I don't think there's indisputable evidence to overturn it 41 seconds to go still waiting we're gonna take look with our line fare as well leg down the balls right there I get it beyond right there we're gonna get the right down the line it's very difficult to fifty seconds I think that's the only catacomb leg ahead because without that line right now to cover right down the line you can't tell a little bit of parallax makes it look here for so I think we're good we're gonna rewind the talk to fifty seconds boy'll receivers out DiNucci is taking the snap Jo busy in the backfield first in ten 22 traffic by James Hendricks down in 10 with 43 tips to go James Hendricks plays safety thinks like a quarterback was reading the eyes the entire way excellent play step it in from the past to traffic again sometimes Gooch's bigger badder and you're gonna go get it Riley Stapleton that's a 50/50 ball and he just goes up and snatches it out of the air huge play for the fifth year senior a 22 yard game against North Dakota State declined first down in the 17 they need a touchdown genichi in complete stops the clock with 16 seconds to go dusty it feels like the clock is running off unnecessarily here well it's been 4 clock management this drop I mean let's let's just call what it is they got 2 timeouts left only 16 seconds left on the clock after Stapleton went up and cocked this pass if they weren't able to get on the ball immediately should he use a timeout right there to regather himself back shoulder fade incomplete at the goal line intended for Riley Stapleton working against Josh A's let's see what this flag is all about the offsides in the left defensive end number 99 and the defense five-yard penalty replay second down those seconds to go figure we got a couple of plays here two if not three there's two timeouts so bleeding that magically their balance capable okay it's incomplete haze and Stapleton were jostling it looks like we got a another pass interference against Josh Hayes I mean those guys are just wrestling on the sidelines does there's a lot of contact I thought there was contact from both Stapleton as well as Hayes automatic first down see Stapleton try to push he's trying to be physical jockey for position seven seconds to go and James Madison University in the shadows of the goal line trying to even the score potentially with a touchdown then going for to a reminder that fans can check out the ESPN app for the postgame trophy ceremony immediately following the game plenty of time to go eight seconds maybe two shots at this for James Madison what do you think you're coming down the stretch here partner I mean it's one of the two staples and brothers yeah you know you have a timeout so you can't run the football okay so if they get numbers they feel like they can run the football and have that run it you guys call it time I go back to it but if you're gonna throw it I'd be surprised if we don't see it go to Riley Stapleton he's got the size mismatch they've gone to him all day long so that's my guess if the numbers provide it run the football if not I think you take your shot on the outside with your big target well this is the time that quarterback Ben DiNucci has been desiring since training camp opened back in August to the team himself last season ended with that five interception performance against pancake t Hendrix with the int Hendriks with the pick and a bilious odious rerun for been DiNucci just like last year drinks with his fifth pick of the season and the biggest one of the year for the Bison okay we look at emotion Brandon Polk across okay so they're gonna try to set him up in the flats he comes out but it's changed Hendrix's safety who reads it the entire way knows exactly what he's getting steps in from the pass and secures the 8th national championship and told you what perfection looks and feels and sounds like will you're looking at edit right now then da new cheese afternoon ends in defeat for the first team since seal to finish perfect 60 and Oh since 1894 straight national championship victories how hard is it to keep that status quo really hard it's hard to kids it's hard to be national chanson hard to have win that many games in the road although it's all good players they handle every day like like professions he just continues to impress he's a student of the game he's got the best quarterback coach of the country and doing trades are really special Jim congratulations coach I appreciate thank you tre Lance the first oak kid today because his team ends up with the trophy Stapleton both Ryan and his brother Dylan played an outstanding game today in their last college football games Forte mu this streak down we kind of touched on earlier but what stood out to me the most studying this team getting ready for this game in this program is you've got eight out of nine national championships but it's three different head coaches now four different quarterbacks it's more than one code it's more than one player it's this bison program it's it's the buy in the culture that's been created there in Fargo North Dakota the buy-in from the players the coaches the community everybody has helped get this program in this position folks coming up next college football 115 football is us the college players so long for Dustin Olivia from Frisco Texas
