RoadWarrior was recognized for attending his 500th consecutive Bison game during a break at the SIU game. Awesome fan!

Has to be one of the biggest spreads ever in a quarterfinal game. I haven't watched the Bizen enough to know if they may just grind the game out, meaning take the points. I could see this being about 40-20, so pretty much agree with the spread.

We ground it out against the dogs. That's what they gave us, plus our top wr was out.

Game day decision. Mathis is good, but doesn't have the speed of Watson.

So Watson has a track background I can safely assume.I would put Mathis on the track team at NDSU.I remember when I first saw Mathis and more importantly where he came from the state of Florida I was asking the obvious how did the Bison sneak down into that hotbed of football and walk away with a 6'6 200 Plaxico Burress wannabe????

Wow Watson is a Florida native as well plus he has NFL BLOODLINES his father played with the KC CHIEFS in the late '90s and just like I thought he has a track background going back to high school.

I see NDSU visited Florida more than twice in fact they have 4 other guys on the Bison roster how are they doing it coming down into that football hotbed and sneaking away with all this talent at one time this would have never happened.

I see NDSU has another top name from the prep ranks QB Quincy Patterson from Va.Tech saw him on TV as a participant in the ESPN TOP 11 Patterson has good size 6'3 246

Some of the families have moved to Fargo, and are still Bison fans and see them at games after their sons graduated.

Right now, Patterson comes in on short yardage plays. Hard to bring down a guy with his size. He doesn't have the touch for short passes, to be the starter, but he has a big arm and has thrown the bomb to Watson this year. Several plays last weekend, we had 2 QB's in the backfield.

So this guy's running the old school third and one play action all streak?

ETSU's mediocre run defense gives them little chance of winning this. That being said, the Bison better be sure put them away. The Bucs, whose last two playoff squads are a combined 12-2 in one-score games, are just one of those teams that knows how to steal wins. A few careless turnovers and you never know. Anyway… the point spread seems a bit extreme to me, but I still don't think East Tennessee will be able to get within striking distance late.

I'll go with North Dakota State 38-17

13-0 NDSU at the half.

Bison stopped being cute after the first quarter. Back to basics.

Walter Payton finalist held on check so far.

Bucs HC said they need to start taking deep shots Bison have shut down their run attack watching on ESPN
