Congrats to EWU. They made it a game. Obviously, NDSU is very good, but EWU showed Bison are beatable. Too many big mistakes by EWU, and then giving up a couple big plays. Can't do that and win. NDSU make some big mistakes too. Refs screwed EWU early. The stripes made some horrible calls, both ways.
The long long drive by Bison in 4th quarter ate up over 10 minutes of the clock, and prevented an EWU comeback.
I enjoyed the game. The game reflected well for the Big Sky.
How did they show the Bison were beatable this year?
Did they ever lead in the game? Did they win the turnover margin? How about the TOP? More first downs? More yards? Literally what performance metric did they prove to be the superior team?
Save for a fake field goal, this game was NDSU all day. Every time EWU had a big play, NDSU immediately responded.
