The Bison coming with ears pinned back. No chance for Mcguire.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Zeke has had a great game. We needed several others to have a similar game to win this one.

Too many mistakes. Nobody wins throwing that many INTs to NDSU.

Gotta win out to have a slim chance for post season football.

Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, South Dakota, Indiana State
UNI and USD probably the toughest games on the list, but should be roughly "even". The other three we should be able to win.
Not going to be easy, but if we do win out, that's 7-4 and winning the last 5 straight. Since the playoffs went to 24 teams, I'd guess 95% of the time that gets you in the playoffs. You're nearly a bubble team, you don't get a seed, but you're in. Not a lot of room for mistakes though. Defense played really well considering everything...same at Illinois State. Offense had nothing on the ground, trying to make plays through the air...sometimes it works, sometimes it's an INT...and lately it's been too many INTs. You keep giving the other team good field position and the defense is going to give up some points, but other than maybe one or two drives, they were really impressive against NDSU.

North Dakota State won the game 34-7.

A very disappointing attendance of 2,709.

Only 9 rushing yards for Western.

From the Fargo newspaper:

Fargo newspaper comments on the very small crowd at the game.

Bridges, Marlette give Bison a needed jolt.

No. 1-ranked Bison keep rolling with road win at Western Illinois.

I don't think he got injured last week. Don't know.

Tate was out late in the game last week. Never heard anything about an injury, but hope he's good to go next week. He's the most explosive player we have. We'll need him down the stretch.
