Speaker 3 (01:21):
Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to Gate City Bank Field
inside the Fargo Dobe today another top ten matchup in
the Missouri Valley Football Conference as the top rank North
Dakota State Bison welcome in the eighth rank Southern Illinois
sulukis welcome to the broadcast booth. Everybody, great to have

(01:42):
you along for another Saturday of Bison football. Along with
the Hall of Famer Phil Hanson here in the booth
former Bison captain Noah Endorf down on the sidelines.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'm Sam Niederman. Well, Phil, we're back here at home.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
First and only home game in Fargo in the month
of our October for the Bison at NDSU, coming off
of a thirty three to sixty to win against Illinois
State on the road last week. First adversity that the
Byson saw last week.

Speaker 7 (02:10):
What do we take away? Well, I don't really like
road games at night. But that's what I don't like.
But I don't think they do too. It's just it's
tough sitting around all day waiting for a game. I
think the players would feel the same way there. But
so what to learn from Illinois State? So I think
maybe the first thing is the first play, don't don't
start your first offensive play and give up a safety
and be down two to nothing. You know, just let's

(02:32):
the team think that they can play with you and
be in the game. So that was a bad way
for the offense to start. But overall, just looking at
the whole game, Rittenhouse, I think he's a legitimate quarterback,
a good player, beach in a lot of ways, very
very much a competitor, and I think that team's a
playoff team down the road. You know, I thought this

(02:54):
that the Illinois State game was going to be a
real test for the DB's and I think it was.
Coming into the season, I thought the DB's were the
strength of our defense. I'm not sure I quite feel
that way anymore because the linebackers and d lines have
elevated their play so much, and you know, I'd like
to see a little bit better defensive back play. But
we're gonna they're gonna get a challenge here today too,

(03:15):
So that'll be good and we'll see if they can
rise the occasion.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, certainly, going up against a very good Southern Illinois
offense led by a very talented quarterback.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
For more on that, let's go downstairs.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Third member of our team Noah Gindorf before we dive
into it, Noah, welcome back and congratulations. We've got the
newest member of the Bison family board last weekend, Pipa.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Geddorf.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Congratulations my friend, and welcome back to the sidelines.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
New father down there. Thank you very much, gentlemen. It's
good to be back.

Speaker 8 (03:49):
Pretty good reason to miss a game last weekend, I
would say, So it's going to be back on the sideline,
you know, my first time being away from my beautiful
wife and beautiful baby to be here on the game
this Saturday, So it's good to be back. But yeah,
obviously first time being away from the little one. Is
this a little tough?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, eight days my friend absolutely wonterful, really happy for
you and your family. Great to have you here on
the sidelines. This is a great quarterback matchup, Noah, that
we've got here. Cole Payton obviously playing terrific for the Bison,
coming off with great performance last week Atsillois State. DJ
Williams is Southern Illinois quarterback and he's similar to Cole.

(04:26):
He's a dual threat. Number one in the valley in
passing yards, number one in total offense. He's got twenty
total touchdowns through five games. He really makes them go.
What do you see in the QB matchup today?

Speaker 8 (04:38):
Yeah, I mean you kind of described it there. This
is a pretty even quarterback matchup across the board. You know,
these are two similar style players. Both are extremely dynamic
with their legs. You know, DJ Williams has nine rushing
touchdowns already on the season and Cole you know, we've
obviously seen what he's capable of with his legs as well,
but also both have shown great ability to be accurate

(04:58):
downfield passing the ball and just truly being able to
use both the legs and the arms to efficiently attack
a defense. And that just makes a nightmare for any defense.
So that certainly is the challenge that we're up for
against today. But this really is just a great marquee
matchup between two of the top quarterbacks and the value today,
no doubt about it.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
You look at Cole Payton, He's leading the country in
completion percentage right now, seventy four point seven percent, number
one of the nation in passing efficiency, also.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
In yards per completion and attempt.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Williams did not play last year Phil when the Bison
beat Southern Illinois on the road in Carbondale, twenty four
to three the final score.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
And that one.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Southern Illinois was banged up all last season. They had
the injury bug hit hard. Williams got hurt in their
third game. Their backup for him, Hunter Simmons, got hurt
before the Bison game, so they had to start a
true freshman, Jake Curry, and he kind of drove the
bus the rest of the way. They went four and
eight last year. Now they're ranked to the top ten.
They're four and one overall, only lost coming to Purdue out.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Of the Big Ten. And you look at it offense,
it is a test for the Code Green Bison defense.
This after dude.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
Yeah, you look at DJ Williams, their quarterback, and you know,
I'm always a believer. Make that quarterback at that dual
threat quarterback. If you have to take one thing away,
make a quarterback like that beat a passing the ball. Uh,
don't don't let him run. And I don't know what
that includes in the in the defense of whatever they're
gonna put on the field here today, but make him
beat you passing the ball. There's more opportunity there to

(06:25):
intercept tip ball. Things like that. But yeah, as I
look at our defense, you know you want that d line.
You want him to have a consistent quarterback pressure and
it's tough. You rush hard and he steps up and
around you, and he can. Quarterbacks that are good can
do that. This guy can do that. The linebackers have
been you know, I said early in the season, just
raise your level of play each week and don't go

(06:47):
back below it. The linebackers have really done that. They've
been really consistent. Stalling and Woolen and Cop, they've all been.
It's a good group back there. Like we talked about
a little earlier, the defensive backs, I think you need
to step up little bit. That run support is going
to be important today if this quarterback gets out and
gets running a little bet. But having they've got three
really good receivers all caught touchdowns and are very proven.

(07:09):
So it's gonna be a challenge for the defensive backs
and the coverage here today.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, good on good.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
The Bison number one of the nation at scoring defense,
only allowing nine points per game, Number one of the
nation against the pass, number two overall in total defense
two hundred and nineteen yards of total offense allowed per game. Meanwhile,
on Suthern, Illinois's side, they score forty three points per game,
seventh in the country. That's right behind the Bison averaging
forty four number one in the valley in rushing yards

(07:36):
per game, two hundred and forty on the ground per
game six in the nation, four hundred and eighty five
yards of total offense per game fourth eighth in the nation,
and they have been really good down in the red zone,
scoring at ninety six percent of their possessions twenty four
out of twenty five on the season and twenty out
of twenty five scoring touchdowns. Nick Hill is their head coach,

(07:58):
former Saluki quarterback back in the late two thousands, he
took them to the national semifinals in two thousand and seven.
He is in his tenth year as the Sluki head coach.
They didn't go to the playoffs from two thousand and
ten all the way to two thousand and twenty. Now
they've been three of the last five years, including two
years ago. In twenty twenty three, when they took Idaho

(08:21):
to overtime in the second round, it almost knocked off
the number four overall seed in the FCS playoff bracket,
so it'll be interesting. We've seen the Bison in Southern
and some of these matchups. Phil thirteen to four and
favor the Bison the all time series.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
You know, Southern Loois. Okay, they're four and one. Okay,
I respect them. I think they got a good team,
don't get me wrong. But and listen, we had some
warm up games too. But Thomas Moore, I didn't even
know they had a football program. I don't even know
who that is. Purdue. They lost to Tennessee Martin, they
lost to this last week. They lost to Indiana or
they beat Indiana State. They won all those teams. Simo

(08:58):
was only one in common that we had. What was
the score? We beat him forty one to fourteen. Southern
Illlois beat him fifty nine to thirty one. That's only
common opponent. I don't know if you can take anything
from that. I'm glad. That's why we play the game,
so we don't have to prognosticate to the bitter end.
Let him play and let's see what happens.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
No doubt, fifty five minutes away from making it happen
here inside the dome. Another matchup that we're watching, NOI
is the Bison offense against Southern Illinois defense, and there's
a tie in for Southern Illinois with their defensive coordinator
Lee Proncinski. Coach Prong used to be here at EDDSU
as an assistant back when you played.

Speaker 8 (09:36):
Yeah, I mean, coach Lee was just a quality control
guy when he was here, but he was a great dude,
super high energy and really knowledgeable about football. And he,
you know, obviously he was able to elevate that role
at Southern Illinois now has become their defensive coordinator, so
he knows a lot about NDSU's defensive scheme and he,
you know.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Has translated a lot of that into this SIU defense.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
You know, they kind of have that platoon type defensive
line shift where they play you know, ten to eleven
guys pretty regularly, and then they have really athletic linebackers
that make a ton of tackles and they're also opportunistic,
you know, have a lot of turnovers that they're forcing
this year. So there's there's certainly a lot of things
that you know, there's a lot of similarities that for
two four three defense that the NDSU likes to run

(10:17):
as well, that they kind of have mixed into their scheme,
so it's really cool to see that kind of come
full circle for coach Lee and and you know, wish.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Them the best, just not today, well said, Well said, Noah,
no doubt As we get ready to go here inside
the far Roodome, the Bison and the selukis one versus
eight here on a Saturday afternoon in Fargo, a second
straight top ten matchup for the Bison as they look

Go Bison, Welcome back to.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
The Fargo Dome as we count down to kickoff. It's
the Bison hosting number eight Southern Illinois this afternoon. It's
time now for our Pravence Seeds Homegrown Interview. We're talking
with Fargo native Truman Warmire Bison fullback here with us.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Truman, appreciate you taking the time. Happy game day.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
How's it feel to be back in the dome for
a charge up environment this afternoon.

Speaker 15 (14:44):
Yeah, it's always nice to get back home after an
away trip. I think you know, playing the dome has
just been such an advantage for us for the last
several years, and it's always fun to see the fans rocking.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
You grew up here at Fargo, so you've seen the
Bison play in the dome. What's it like now as
a byzon in yourself to have the experience and run
out the tunnel to buis the Nation each Saturday.

Speaker 16 (15:04):
Yeah, I think definitely.

Speaker 15 (15:05):
As a kid growing up coming to games on Saturdays
and stuff, it was something I always dreamed about, you know,
watching the guys run out of the helmet, run out
of the tunnel.

Speaker 16 (15:12):
Go make plays. And now that I get to be
a part of that, it's really special.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
How do you like it with the flames now? I
used to have the helmet, but now we've got some
extra bells and whistles.

Speaker 16 (15:21):
Yeah, definitely an upgrade.

Speaker 15 (15:23):
It was kind of scary the first time, honestly, the
flames it's hotter than you think, but yeah, it's really cool.

Speaker 16 (15:27):
It's a nice touchdo about it.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
So you went to Fargo Davies south side of town.
How was it just being here in Fargo and to
play locally in the town of NDSU, North.

Speaker 15 (15:37):
Dakota, high school football doesn't get as good of a
rap as it deserves.

Speaker 16 (15:40):
Sometimes. I think there's some hidden gems here.

Speaker 15 (15:42):
I think we play a really physical brand of football
in North Dakota, just like we do here at NDSU,
So I think that kind of is a correlation. Then obviously,
everyone wants to emulate the Bison in Fargo, so always
go back to that.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
What's it like having your dad and your alma mater
for high school right here in the backyard? Is it
pretty cool to go and some Yeah?

Speaker 5 (16:00):
I like to.

Speaker 15 (16:01):
I mean every time they play at home, usually I
can stop out and head out for a Frida night
of football with my brother still being on the team.
It's cool just to you know, go back back to
the old roots and watch the team. And they're having
a good season this year, so that's been fun to watch.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
You look at your position, Truman, you're a crew chief
through and through. Crew chiefs have been pretty active here
this season. The tight ends have been getting a little
bit involved in the past game. How's that been to
see your teammates get in and the amount of multiple
personnel packages that we have too.

Speaker 15 (16:30):
Yeah, I think those multiple personnels is super critical. I
think we have so many guys in our room right
now who can go out and play at a high
level and execute whatever we're asked to do. And seeing
those guys, you know, get the ball thrown their way
is pretty exciting.

Speaker 16 (16:41):
I like to cheer them on as much as I can.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
How has it been for you from a blocking standpoint
this year?

Speaker 15 (16:47):
Yeah, I mean that's been my role so far this year,
go in and block, and that's something that I love
to do. And you know, whatever Coach Larson asked me
to go do, I'm gonna do it. If it's block
fifty times a game, if it's go run some routes,
I'm gonna do it. But yeah, I love just kind
of blocking and seeing the success of other guys.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
You mentioned Coach Larson. It's his first year coaching the
Crew Chiefs with our tight ends and fullbacks. What's that
experience been like to work with him directly with your
position group.

Speaker 15 (17:12):
Yeah, Coach Larson definitely definitely brings a lot of knowledge
and a lot of experience and how to move people,
how to block, how to get stuff done. I think
he's been a really, you know, welcome addition to our room,
and we're all behind him.

Speaker 16 (17:24):
And you know he says jump, we say how high?
So it's been awesome to have.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Him looking at Southern Illinois. Truman, what do you see
in the Saluki defense?

Speaker 16 (17:32):
Yeah, they got a.

Speaker 15 (17:32):
Bunch of guys, a lot of experienced guys out there.
You know, kind of a new system they're running, but
they play their butts off. They're going to go run
around and we got to, you know, bring the physicality
to them. It's going to be a good, tight game.
Or we're excited for the opportunity.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
And lastly, to wrap it up, Truman, we talked about
your hometown roots here and far ago being a Bison.
What's it mean to you to be a Bison and
put on the green and gold every Saturday.

Speaker 16 (17:55):
Yeah, it's it's always so special to me.

Speaker 15 (17:57):
I'll never forget, you know, when I was five years
old watching the Bison, thinking about how they were like
real life superheroes and whatnot. But now that I can
maybe have a chance to be that for some kid,
or just knowing I got the whole city and the
whole state behind me now is behind us, is just
something that's really special.

Speaker 16 (18:13):
I don't take it for granted.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
That's a great football Saturday here in Fargo, when we're
talking with Fargo's own Truman Wermeire on our Provence Seeds
Homegrown Interview.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Truman appreciate the time, thanks very much and good luck.

Speaker 16 (18:23):
Yeah, thank you.

just came in from the stampede march. How would you
describe the anticipation for this one?

Speaker 20 (22:16):
Well, it seems good out to the energy was good
and uh, the demeanor of the guys most important.

Speaker 21 (22:22):
Right.

Speaker 20 (22:22):
I thought that we're we were climbing that hill out there,
ready to compete. And start straining for the lead.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Another top ten matchup in the valley. How would you
describe the challenge of this time of the year in

time of year, next to okay, playoff rankings and all

mean by that is, you know, we're gonna find an
awful lot out about our own team.

Speaker 22 (22:44):

Speaker 20 (22:47):
You know, rent is due today and it's due every Saturday,

Speaker 22 (22:52):
Southern Illinois got a goo football team. They've got a
great head coach.

Speaker 20 (22:55):
You know, they're hot, they're confident, hopefully they don't answers,
you know, and there's big energy and juice.

Speaker 22 (23:00):
In here as well.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
We've talked a lot about the matchup with Code Green
against the Sluki offense. Coach third down opponent rate for
the Code Green twenty nine percent, seventh in the nation.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
They're at fifty four percent. How big is third down today?

Speaker 22 (23:13):
Well, yeah, something's got to give.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
You know.

Speaker 20 (23:16):
The kicking game is gonna play a role in that
because I think as they get to the fifty, you're
gonna see four down territory. And anytime the offense is
calling plays with four downs, that's a heck of a
lot easier than three downs. You know, each and every
stop that they get, you know, the category of get
six right, takeaways, three and outs.

Speaker 22 (23:32):
You know, stops. Uh is going to be so imperative today.

Speaker 20 (23:36):
But quite frankly, I really believe that the first quarter
it's not gonna dictate totally the outcome in this game,
but it's gonna let.

Speaker 22 (23:45):
Both team either play hot and with a lot of.

Speaker 20 (23:48):
Confidence, or you're gonna have to grind through some adversity,
and hopefully it's them doing that, not us.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
How do you establish that tone early on?

Speaker 22 (23:55):
Well, we're gonna take the balls. What we're gonna do.

Speaker 20 (23:56):
They're five for five and they're opening drives and on
the on the other side of that, right like middle eight,
they're really good. This can be a good football game.
I hope everybody you know heard what we were saying
all week. This is a great challenge, you know, and
hopefully we come out hot and play well. You know,
first corner is going to be critical. They're eighty six
to thirteen or so versus their opponents in the first corner.

(24:17):
So I think you know, playing well in the first
quarter and establishing rhythm and getting first downs for the
offense can help the defense a lot.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Coach, Thank you for a time, good look.

stat brought to you by a fd SED company.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Phil, I got the sneak peek on this for the game.
I'm excited for you to share it to everybody else.

Speaker 7 (36:02):
Well, you got the sneak peak because you're kind of
the guy who came up with it. Actually, third down
conversion just interesting stats. So Southern Ilina offense is producing,
they're keeping drives going. They're fifty five percent fifty five
percent on third down. That's really good. NDSU defense, however,
is only giving up twenty nine percent on third down,
So some's got to give there, and I think that's

(36:24):
gonna be my conversion rate today.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Third down efficiency.

Welcome back to the Fargo Dome. Moments away from the Bison,
taking on number eight Southern Illinois Time to go inside
the locker room, brought to you by Blackleg Ranch and
we're talking with Bison wide receiver Jackson Williams. Jackson, appreciate
you taking the time. Another home game day in the Dome.
How's it feel to be back for this big conference matchup?

Speaker 44 (40:58):
It was really good to get the crowd back behind us,
get some energy flowing, and get the guys together for
another big game.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
You know, we always love to talk about the whole
atmosphere of the Fargo Dome for a Bison game day,
and rightfully so. But one of the other things I
imagine for you guys is when you're on the road
up against everybody and you get to make a play
and silence the crowd. And you had one of those
last weekend against Illinois State. You're a big fifty one
yard or on third down and long. Take me back
to that moment. What was it like to convert in

(41:26):
that big situation?

Speaker 44 (41:27):
Oh yeah, that was a good feeling, just you know,
catching the ball and running in open space.

Speaker 7 (41:32):
That's what I like to do.

Speaker 44 (41:33):
I got a couple questions on the sideline about it,
like does it turn into a return after you get
into the open space, and I was like, yeah, I
kind of felt like you're a turn there. So sounds
in the crowd and I remember getting up and you know,
my teammates were hyped up, but I was on their sideline,
so it wasn't wasn't a lot of you know, cheering
on that end, So it was pretty cool.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
What was it like when you were lined up for
the play and you see Cole making the check at
the line of scrimmage? A big spot there, and obviously
the execute was right on point.

Speaker 44 (42:01):
Great check by Cole to see the defense there, see
their dbs playing a little bit off and just checking
the coverage and it was a great check to see
and was slaying over the middle obviously was the good
call there. We're going to go, you know, four versus
initially and I was like, all right, I'm going across.

Speaker 16 (42:17):
Now here we go, Jackson.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
What's your mindset in a game where obviously you've got
your receiver role, but then you also have the returning role.
So you're ready after a stop for putt return, you're
ready after scores on kick return.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
How do you stay engaged to be ready to make
a play in any one of those moments?

Speaker 44 (42:36):
I just know that I'm going on the field before
the offense is to receive the ball at any time
in the game.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
So I just got to be locked in.

Speaker 16 (42:44):
When our defense is out there, I know they're going.

Speaker 44 (42:46):
To shut it down pretty quickly, So I got to
be ready and know where I'm going on the punt returns.
And then you know, as soon as as soon as
the other team scores or they start the game with
a kick, I just know we got to be ready
to me and Roy back there to punch back.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
How have you grown in your confidence in your receiver role, Jackson?
What's been different year one to year two? Just gaining
comfort in our offense.

Speaker 44 (43:11):
Just getting into the offense and learning it, knowing it
like the back of my hand. Just running all these
routes consistently and running against our defense really helps too,
because you go up against the best defense every single
day when we play against ndsut practice. So just getting
those reps and getting better consistently over the over the
course of the season.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
How much fun is it to have an omaha to
omaha connection with you and Cole Payton?

Speaker 16 (43:35):
I love it.

Speaker 44 (43:36):
I love that Cools the quarterback you know, and I've
known him for a long time, known since I was
young to see him throwing me the ball and making
plays out there. And when I see him rolling out
and throwing me the ball or rolling out and then
scrambling and hurtling.

Speaker 16 (43:51):
Dudes, it's really cool to see the way Cole Peyton plays.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Jackson Williams here with us as we count down to
kick against Southern Illinois.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
What do you see in the Suluki's defense?

Speaker 3 (44:00):
What are the keys for you guys to continue being
efficient offensively today?

Speaker 44 (44:04):
They're going to pressure and you know, they're gonna play
a lot of coverages, a lot of different coverages. We're
going to attack them when they're in cover four, and
you know, just find those open spots in there in
their defense, and Cole is going to make the right
calls in the right checks, and we're going to make
the right calls on offense. Big third down opportunities, you

(44:24):
got to convert those and just plan, plan in front
of the sticks.

Speaker 16 (44:29):
That's how we got to do it.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Jackson, appreciate you taking the time. Thank you very much,
good luck.

Speaker 16 (44:33):
Thank you.

full display as we get set for another Top ten
matchup with the Missouri Valley Football Conference Number one NDSU
gets number eight Southern Illinois. Let's take a look at

(48:49):
our keys to the game from Phil, brought to you
by Northern Bag and Box.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Where you're going today, partner.

Speaker 7 (48:54):
Hey, best contest of the of the year so far
and only home game. Like you said, in the Fargo Domes,
So let's make it look good. Offense, no turnovers my
number one goal every week, I think today, just some
long sustained drives, just keep the ball out of the
opponent's offensive hands would be good for this team. Dominate

(49:16):
that line with scrimmage. If the offensive line rules today
makes Cole Payton's job easier, and we'll really help this
offense flourish defense, create a turnover. And you know what,
I really think they can. You know, this is kind
of a quick scoring offense. They try to just move
really fast. I think they're gonna take some chances, and
I think with chances on their part will be opportunities

(49:37):
for our defense. I really want those dbs to rise
to this challenge today. This is their best opportunity so far.
This will challenge them. I really want to see them
raisir level of play. And then at the end, you
just have to have sure tackling. You got to get
the guy on the ground, no matter where he is.
Special teams, hey, simple, make your kicks, make your extra points,

(49:57):
make your field goals, give effort on coverage teams, and
whatever you do, if you what not, whatever you do.
I don't want to say this change the game for
the better, Okay, just do something that makes it easier
for our offense or our defense to help win the game.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
Well said by Fred Bill's Keys to the Game brought

packaging needs.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
Let's go downstairs, no again, to our standing by with
our butt lights sideline report.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Noah, what are you looking forward to this afternoon?

Speaker 8 (50:33):
Yeah, I'm gonna echo a lot of the same points
that Phil made their offensively. No turnovers, you know, this
Southern Illinois defense is forced eleven turnovers already this season.
So just making sure that we take care of the
ball and every possession with a kick, whether that be
a field goal upon turn extra point, and then just
run the dang ball. I mean, that's that's how you
set the tone for this entire offense. If you can

(50:54):
run the ball, you're always gonna be able to give yourself.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
A chance in a game.

Speaker 8 (50:57):
Defensively, you know it sounds weird, but defense needs to
start fast or just keep Southern Illinois offense from starting fast.
They're a five for five on opening drive touchdowns to
start this year, so try to get them off the
field early and then just keep everything in front of you.
This is an offense that lives and dies on the
big play. They're only one hundred and seventeenth in the
country in time of possession. So they really are trying

(51:19):
to take deep shots, big explosive plays, and they're kind
to kind of live and die that way. So just
make them grind out drives that something they haven't really
had to do all year long.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
And special teams. Just make a play.

Speaker 8 (51:30):
You know, Southern Illinois takes a lot of pride in
their special teams. They fake two punts this year already,
So just make a play in any way, whether that's
a big return, blocking a kick, pinning someone deep on
a punt, anything like that, just to make.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
A difference in this game, you know.

Speaker 7 (51:44):
Know, and you mentioned turnovers. You know, when I think
about last week's game, that little punch out and the
fumble recovery, I mean that was a key point in
the game. I mean it was going back and forth
pretty good. That was a key play. And then we
had the interception at the end. The game was kind
of over. They were taking a chance, but that one
turnover are big things and that's why I think turnovers
are probably the most important stat in any game.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Yeah, that was Kelton mccaslo who forced it for the
Bison back at his home state of Illinois. Had a
big game. Nathaniel Stanley scooped it up. The only thing
music was the score. We talked with him after the
game and he said, I had it right there. The
only thing I would adjust moving forward is he taking
a run the other way to the house.

Speaker 7 (52:20):
Yeah, fun play, but a big play in that game.
So yeah, I'm just stalling. Yeah, good job on him.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Yeah, it was two nothing at the time, and that
was how the game started. The Bison started out on
defense or excuse me, Illinois State. Too many Illinois right
now at this conference. Illinois State they got stopped, but
they pinned the Bison at the one. Next thing, you know,
the Bizon get stopped. It's a safety, two nothing, so
they got a punt it back and hats Illinois State
found a way to score. You're looking at a night

(52:48):
nothing deficit to start that game. That and then the
turnover on downs two Phil at the end of the
first half. But it was a one score Bison leader.
Huge turning boys in the last week's game.

Speaker 7 (52:58):
Very different game if those two plays swing the other way,
very different.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Game, no doubt about it. We talked about it too.
The matchup on third down interesting. Herrington Polisics say that
he anticipates should Southern Illinois and even the Bison for
that matter, get near midfield four down territory, potentially something
to watch for when the Bison are trying to get
off the field against this high scoring Southern Illinois offense.

(53:23):
The Gold Star marching band information right now spelling out
NBSU across Kate City bank field, the cheerleaders carrying the
flags and making.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Their way down to the near sideline.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
The crowd decked down in Gold this afternoon. As we mentioned,
the Bison are seven to zero against Southern Illinois at
home all time. Last time here two years ago, the
Bison won thirty four to ten or thirty four to thirteen,
I should say, at home in a game that was
pretty much a playoff game. The Bison had just lost

(53:56):
to South Dakota State and fell to five and three
on the seat if they could not afford another loss.
Southern Illinois was also fighting for its playoff lives, and
the Bison were able to dictate the second half, and
they outran Southern Illinois in that second half they got
the victory. So it was tight for the first thirty minutes.
And we've heard it from Tim Paul's neck all week.

(54:18):
He anticipates another four quarter fight in Missouri Valley football play.
I think it was interesting, Phil what you talked about,
and also know on the drives and sustaining drives two
different styles of offense. Statistically, they're pretty much right up
there together. The Bison time of possession thirty three minutes
a game ninth in the country. Southern Illinois twenty seven

(54:40):
minutes per game that is one hundred and seventeenth in
the country. So, like you talked about, they're much more
of the big play and if the Bison are able
to force them to grind it out and go the
long way, as coach p would say, seems to be
an advantage for NDSU.

Speaker 7 (54:53):
Yeah, Southernlis, they just come across as a team that
quick strike team, and when they strike, they're very potent.
But you know what, that also means opportunity because gotta
take chances. I much rather like our offense with like
sitting back three yards of McLoud or Das just keep
getting those third down tournament of first stouts, take eight
to nine minutes off the clock. I mean, that's the
way I like.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
No injuries to report for this game, thankfully for the Bison.
Indy As you very healthy. Carson Williams the only player
who won't be available today with an achilles He is out.
Expect more Finn Diggins and Grease Kessel at tight end. Meanwhile,
Southern Illinois they are without their left handle Coley owned
spint he misses a second straight week playe Hawley will

(55:34):
start in his place.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
It will be just his third career start.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Meanwhile, Lashawn Lester, running back for Southern Illinois, listened as
doubtful for this game with a groin injury that he
is sustained after the first play from scrimmage.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
Last week against Indiana State.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
Expect to hear more from Chandler Chapman number eight and
Edward Robinson number four in the Suluki badfield. Meanwhile, the
Suluki's on defense, they are with out number forty six
Andrew Bain, their leading tackler and starting middle linebacker. He
did not warm up for this game. He missed most
of the last week's game with Ay Groyd injury. Well,

Gate City Bank member FDIC for the coin toss, Carl Chapman,

(01:02:43):
our referee, Let.

Speaker 7 (01:02:44):
It hit the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
It is the tail you want to receive.

Speaker 7 (01:02:49):
What would you want to kick? Auad and turn around
this way?

Speaker 49 (01:02:54):
All right, So it's one of the toss chosen to
receive the south end zone.

Speaker 7 (01:02:58):
Good luck, guys.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
Southern Illinois wins the toss and they want the ball first.
As we've talked about with Tim Pauliseik of the pregame Bison,
we're going to take.

Speaker 2 (01:03:07):
The ball first.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
If they won the toss, they do not win it,
so that means the Bison will start on defense and
we'll get the matchup that we were talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Phil.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
The Bison defense number one in the country against this
Southern Illinois offense that is red hot. They have scored
fifty five and fifty nine points in their last two
games respectively.

Speaker 7 (01:03:28):
Yeah, defense, I thought they started a little slow, but
I think they came around last week, right after that
big player that turnover. I think they really came alive
and well. These players, they are all playing well, they're
playing at a higher level. So we'll see what they
got in store today.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
And the Bison on our nearest sideline, green uniforms with
gold pants, gold helmets, gold letters in numbers, DYSU across
the chest in gold. It is an under armored template. Meanwhile,
Southern Illinois on the road they're all white uniforms, white helmets,
white unis, white pants, maroon les in numbers. They have

(01:04:01):
a big block S on the side of the helmet
and selukis in tiny print across the chest.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
They are in under armour school as well.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
Tim Paul's at the head coach from the Bison second
season at the place where he cut his teeth first
came to ANSU as a GA back in two thousand
and six, returned his head coach last year, nineteen.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
To two career record.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
Nick Kill the head coach for Southern Illinois ten season
at his alma mater. He played quarterback for the Sulukies.
Took them to the two thousand and seven semi finals,
lost to Joe Flacco and Delaware in that game, and
now he watches from the far side line.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
We're just about set for football.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
Eli Ozig will kick off for the Bison right to
left as you listen, back deep to return for Southern Illinois.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
Vincent Davis the third and Jimmy Athens.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
All the crowd on its feed here inside the phar Rodome,
the Bison looking to defend the dome home to six
to zero on the season coverage team alongside Oaick. He's ready,
We're ready, hope you're ready. It's another Saturday afternoon. A

(01:05:13):
Bison football Oazi points to his right, points to his left,
and book to leather.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
We are underway here in Fargo.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
Line drive kick lands in the low middle part of
the end zone in Southern Illinois.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Lets it drop back for a touchback.

Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
So here comes the Bison defense, number one of the nation,
only allowing nine points per game two hundred and nineteen
yards allowed per game, second best in the country, and
they'll go up against the Southern Illinois offense averaging forty
three points per game, seventh best in the nation. The
quarterback DJ Williams sixty three to two eighteen senior from Louisville, Kentucky.

(01:05:52):
He stands in the shotgun, the running back behind him
Chandler Champion.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Tight had left right, sweating a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
Two receivers left, Vincent Davis and Jay Jones, Fabian McCray
the solo man right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:04):
On first and ten for the twenty five a run
pass option.

Speaker 3 (01:06:07):
Williams up the middle, cuts up side to the thirty
yard lineup across the forty and down to the forty one.
Tackled after a gain of sixteen, and there's DJ Williams.
They're dangerous quarterback with his legs. First down, Southern Illinois.

Speaker 7 (01:06:20):
Big play, big first down. Nobody had DJ Williams. He
fakes the full back dive right up the middle. Everybody
goes for it, and he keeps the ball. Nobody stayed home.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
He's got nine rushing touchdowns already this season, over four
hundred yards rushing on the season. First down ten, Southern
Illinois owned forty one. Blitz comes in by Donovan Woole.
Swing pass left, caught by Davis, turning up field and
diving forward to the forty three.

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
Chandler Chapman, I beg your pardon.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
They'll put him down at the forty two only a
gain of one on the play, and it's second down
to nine. Southern Illinois going hurry up, no huddle offense.
Three receivers in the boundary left Davis and Sweaton Bean
two on the right, and now movement on the line
before and the snap penalty markers.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
Come in.

Speaker 7 (01:07:07):
False start.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
Carl Chapman is our referee.

Speaker 49 (01:07:11):
We'll start offense number six or seven five hour penalty
second down.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
That's on their left tackle.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
Blaine Howley making his second straight start for the injured
Cooley owned Smith.

Speaker 8 (01:07:23):
And so far we've seen a lot of motion, a
lot of moving parts for the Southern Illinois offense.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
And that's a lot of communication that this Bison defense
has to do.

Speaker 8 (01:07:30):
And when the crowd's loud like this, it's tough, you know,
there's a lot of communication that has to take place
when it's this loud.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
After the penalty, second down fourteen, Southern Illinois own thirty
seventy yard line, no score. In the early going, Williams
out of the shotgun back to pass fires left caught
by Jones up the far sideline and shouldered out of
bounds into Bizon territory at the NDSU forty eight Darius
Gibbons aza some them ount on the tackle, but not

(01:07:58):
before Jay Jones with a game of eleven and a first.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Down for the sulukis too easy. First down now.

Speaker 3 (01:08:05):
At the Bison forty eight yard line in ESU subbing
on personnel. Williams with the snow wallft caught by Chapman,
breaks a tackle inside the forty five penalty marker down
on the near side, and Tim Poulsick is saying, how
are they able to snap it when we weren't allowed
to get our sub on.

Speaker 7 (01:08:21):
Yeah, they subbed, they didn't allow us to sub and
they snapped the ball. We had fourteen guys on the field,
not for twelve, probably.

Speaker 49 (01:08:29):
Illegal substitution, tall players on defense five yard penalty first.

Speaker 7 (01:08:35):
Sound, but so so they're saying. Southern Anoyan is saying
they didn't sub anybody. Polsek is saying they did right.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Coach p is not happy on the sideline.

Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
He thought the Bison should have had the opportunity to
get their subs on, but Southern Illinois snapped it quickly
to try and get too many men on the field.

Speaker 7 (01:08:53):
They're re talking about this. There's an official talking to him.
The white hat out there. I honestly, I didn't see
them if they subbed or not, but the Bison thought
they did.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Tim Paulzick has his head set off.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
He is trying to get an explanation from the official
and it looks like they're going to keep the penalty
on the Bison. Yeah, so already you're starting to see
some of the tempo. Southern Illinois is trying to start
the game. With thirteen to sixteen remaining first quarter, no score.
Opening drive for Southern Illinois. They have first in five
after the penalty at the Bison forty three yard line.

(01:09:29):
They break the huddle with McCrae, Jones and Davis the receivers.

Speaker 7 (01:09:34):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
Schwinda been tight end on the right wing, Chapman the
running back off the right hip of Williams. First down
in five, here's a snap of run play off the
middle of Chapman and he dives forward up the left
hash Bark across the forty down to about the thirty
nine yard line.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Gain of four on the play and that will set
up second down and one.

Speaker 7 (01:09:54):
That play didn't exactly have to be a run, but
they had two wide receivers on the line of scrimmage.
The inside guy ineligible. So nine times out of ten
that's going to be a running play because you wouldn't
make one of your receivers ineligible less yet had to,
or unless you didn't care, or unless it wasn't run.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
Two tight ends left, Miles, Marshall, Aid and Quinn. The
running back is lem Wash. On second and one hand
off to Wash. He runs up the middle and he
fights his way to the thirty six yard line about
the thirty five gain of three or four on the
play and good enough for a Southern Illinois first down.
They continue moving from left to right as you listen.
No score twelve oh seven counting down in the first quarter.

(01:10:33):
We heard from Tim Polisk in the pregame Southern Illinois
five for five on scoring on their opening drive this season,
first in ten Buyson thirty five yard line highest after
Williams toss right to Wash, cuts up field, Mikes a
tackle of the thirty breaks another lailing forward pass the
twenty five yard line down to the twenty four Lem

(01:10:55):
Wash breaking tackles.

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
That's an eleven yard gain and a first down for
Southern Illinois.

Speaker 7 (01:11:00):
Gotta make that tackle then for no gain. You just
you can't miss tackles like that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Yeah, he broke through a couple of them, and Southern
Illinois is knocking on the door here on its opening drive,
no score eleven to twenty one remaining, opening quarter, first
down in ten at the Bison twenty five yard line,
Marshall and Quinn tight ends left.

Speaker 2 (01:11:25):
Now they shift to the right.

Speaker 3 (01:11:26):
The running back Edward Robinson flexed down right, empty backfield
to Williams. He takes a snap quarterback draw up the middle,
bearing outside of the twenty and then wrangled down at
the thighs by Nathaniel stealing in the twenty nine yard
line gain of six.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
On the play the nineteen yard line.

Speaker 3 (01:11:43):
I should say that'll be second down at four for
Southern Illinois. Inside eleven minutes of play in this opening quarter.
They moved from left to right. As you listen, Jones
the flanker left, Marshall a tight end wing left, Quinn right,
and mccraye the man on the right. Here's a handoff

(01:12:03):
to Robinson and he doesn't get anything or stanned at
the ankles. Jackson Duteneffert was able to get off his
block and make the stop. Nice job by the Mandan
Nade have no gain on the play, it'll be third
down and a big four.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
And here's third down, like you talked about Bill, the
first one in the ball game.

Speaker 7 (01:12:20):
Yeah, big third down Southern Now e's been moving the ball.
Defense hasn't had really much to say about it. So
here it'd be a big play at a critical juncture.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
Here they are fifty four percent on third down this season,
the Bison only allowing twenty nine percent. Something's gotta give
third down and five at the twenty yard line. Step
to Williams, sets the throw under pressure, elludes the rush
and dances to his left Simmy's inside and somehow got
in the first down down to the thirteen yard line.

(01:12:50):
The Bison had two opportunities to get him for a sack,
but he slithered his way through a scramble for seven
and a first down for Southern Illinois.

Speaker 7 (01:12:58):
Another mistackle for additional seven or eight yards.

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
Duton, ever had a shot at him, wasn't able to
wrap him up.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
The Sluki quarterback danced his way and now it's first
down in ten ball at the Bison thirteen yard line.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
No score.

Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
Nine to twenty three were mating in the first quarter.
Williams in the shot gun Chapman to his right, two
tight ends left. Here's a snap and giveden Chapman and
he is colored down Jackson Duton ever gottled him up
in the backfield back to the fourteen yard line, loss
of one, and it'll be sticking down in the long eleven.

Speaker 7 (01:13:38):
Good job at Jackson of that play. Here's a little
stunt the defensive tackle Kaden Down. I think he came
around it a little bit madeo. He had a big
play regardless in the backfield.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
Good job, long drive for something.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
Illinois opened the game eight forty five remaining, first quarter,
no score, second and ten at the thirteen, Williams back
to throwing his.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
Sacks backs eh pressure came in.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
Jack Guleano comes in for the sack and that's a
huge one from the Bison all the way back to
the eighteen yard line, loss of.

Speaker 7 (01:14:10):
Five or I don't even think they blocked him.

Speaker 8 (01:14:14):
I think that was some sort of play action with
split zone where a tight end was supposed to swipe
all the way across the formation and pick him up,
but was just way too slow getting across.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Basically a free run right at the quarterback. Wow, Jack Leano.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
The sunny Almany transfer of the New York data with
a huge sack and now that sets up third down
and log eight oh two remaining first quarter O score
third and fifteen the Bison eighteen yard line. Williams takes
a snap, shuffles inside and nothing to do. The play
gets snuffed out. Logan Komp had the stamp on. Vincent
Davis dropped at the seventeen yard line. Only a gate

(01:14:51):
of one and it'll be four down. Southern Illinois brings
on the kicking unit. They tried to run a little
shovel pass the BI and we're ready for it. And
now they bring on their kicker, Paul Halen for a
thirty five yard field goal from the right HASH. Ryan
Algrim is a long snapper. Jase Clark is the holder.

(01:15:13):
Haylan six foot six from the Netherlands on the kicking
ball on the right HASH thirty five yarders snap in spot,
kick is up and the kick from Halen is good.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Southern Illinois on the board.

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
First they knock home a thirty five yard field goal
and the Bison trail three to zhing on the Coach's

Bryce Lance seventy five yards, Chad Sweet touchdown Bison, and
then the su grabs a lead six to three year
in the opening corner.

Speaker 8 (01:21:14):
Just pretty standard power read there and they just had
perfect call. Looked like Southern Illinois had a defensive line stunt,
so they just had nobody out there to try and
get Rice, and he just had running room for days.

Speaker 2 (01:21:28):
He is electric.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
Another big hitter for Bryce Lance, seventy five yards to
the house, and now the Bison on for the extra
point attempt. The snap in spot eliosiks kick is up
and the kick is good. One play and the Bison

Back here in Fargo, Sam Diederman Phil Hansen in the
move Noah Gindorf down on the sidelines Bies and granted
the lead in one place seven to three on the
Coaches Choice scoreboard, and Esyear leads it with seven oh
two remaining of the first quarter. Bryce lands with a
seventy five yard touchdown on a jet sweep to putting
the Bison on top. Now, Elioza kicks off from right

(01:24:27):
to left end over and kick and a fair catch
juggled and then knelt down in the edge by Vincent Davis.
The third touchdown by the Bison brought to you by

at les Schwab dot com. Let's go down to know
what you see on the touchdown run.

Speaker 8 (01:24:48):
Yeah, that's a powerplay where Cole's basically reading that place
ide d end and as Bryce comes in motion. If
he goes out with Bryce, Cole's gonna keep that up
the middle. But that defense have been cutting inside hard,
so there's no one on the perimeter except a defensive
tackle looping out to try and get him.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
And I like that matchup.

Speaker 8 (01:25:05):
Rice running against a defensive tackle and you get Bryce
lancing off space.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
It's over.

Speaker 7 (01:25:09):
What are you saying about defensive tackles?

Speaker 8 (01:25:11):
I'm saying, I think I like our matchups when we
get Rice running against a defensive tackle.

Speaker 7 (01:25:16):
I know I heard the word fat in their sun.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
No, I would never say that.

Speaker 7 (01:25:20):
Never ever.

Speaker 3 (01:25:22):
Second seventy five yards score for Bryce out of the year.
Let's see if the defense could make something happen for
the Bison. First out, So Illinois own twenty five play
afs at fake long throw down the left sideline, sliding
over the shoulder, catch by Fabian McCrae, and he makes
it into Bison territory at the forty eight twenty seven
yard gain, but a penalty marker down on the Beyson side.

Speaker 7 (01:25:44):
Ltiple, ltiple down field.

Speaker 2 (01:25:47):
That's what it looks like.

Speaker 7 (01:25:48):
Yes, oh now.

Speaker 49 (01:25:51):
Moll receiver downfield off by number sixty one Fidro Palley.

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
We played third for sounds. That's on eight and Logan
the left guard.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
It was one of those run pass options and he
got caught leaking ahead of the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 7 (01:26:05):
Yikes. I yeah, I guess he was out there.

Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
Okay, yeah, yeah, he was all and that play will
get a raise.

Speaker 8 (01:26:13):
But that's an unbelievable ball from DJ Williams. I mean
Aca was in perfect position, perfect coverage, Just a perfect
drop in the bucket there. He's showing a lot of
really nice touches of passer.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
Yeah, he was four for four passing on their opening drive,
twenty three yards rushing after the penalty first in fifteen
from the twenty yard line of Southern Illinois, empty batfield
trips right, twins left, snapped to Williams. Blitz is on.
He fires over the middle. It's caught right at the
sticks by McCrae. He threw a rifle in there and
he tumbles down to the thirty six yard line, gain

(01:26:45):
of sixteen. They get all the yard. It is back
and just like that, a first down for the sulukis
DJ Williams.

Speaker 7 (01:26:50):
He's a better quarterback than I thought he'd be throwing
the ball. Those are darts he's thrown out there.

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
Leads the valley in passing yards so far, empty backfield
again from the thirty five. He threw quickly the incut
incomplete looking for Davis. That ball a little wide of
the target that Daniel Staley on coverage second to.

Speaker 7 (01:27:06):
Ten on cute. I just give him a comple w
and he throws one in the dirt or behind the guy.

Speaker 2 (01:27:11):
The reverse cheeks right there.

Speaker 3 (01:27:13):
Yeah, look like Bison brought a good pressure there too,
and now it's second down to ten. Seven to three
buys in six oh eight to play in the first
quarter from the thirty five quarterback run. But then a
pass of the last moment, he throws over the shoulder
for McCrae incomplete. He was juggling it, had it for
a moment, incomplete as it flutters to the turf.

Speaker 2 (01:27:35):
Anthony sidimbi alfaro aca and coverage. It'll be a third
down to ten.

Speaker 8 (01:27:41):
Southern Illinois wanted a flag there, but McCray wasn't really
looking for the ball either, just some incidental contact I think.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Could no flag there. Might be a little biased there,
but not to worry about you. You're allowed no, Yeah,
all right, another big.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
Third down six zho two to play, first quarter, seven
three Bison crowd on its feet, third down and ten Southern.

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
Illinois thirty five yard line.

Speaker 3 (01:28:07):
Williams takes the high set gun Staff throws over in
the middle. It's caught by Davis coming back to the
near side, and he is stacked down at the ankles
by Logan cop back in the thirty seven yard line.

Speaker 2 (01:28:18):
A lot of east and.

Speaker 3 (01:28:19):
West for only a gate of two. Code Green gets
his stop at Southern Illinois will.

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Have to part it.

Speaker 7 (01:28:25):
Great tackle. That is tough duty in the open field.
Logan Cop had the angle on him, wrap up, get
him on the ground. Well done.

Speaker 3 (01:28:34):
Great stop by the Bison defense. They turn away the
Sulukis on third down. They're just one for three on
third to start the game. And now Paul Halen will
kick back deep to return from the Bison both Jackson
Williams and Rajohn Nelson. Halen gets a long snap, boots
it away with the right foot, spinning kick. Faircatch signaled
by Raja and he makes it a step inside the

(01:28:55):
twenty at the nineteen yard line.

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
Nice stop by the Bison defense.

Speaker 3 (01:29:15):
Before the game, bill we said Southern Illinois was the
explosive team. Byson We're gonna be methodical. It was the
exact opposite for the Byson office. They went with the
big play. Now they get the ball good.

Speaker 7 (01:29:26):
Yeah, yeah, I would have. You could have put the
jerseys on the different the different players, and I would
expected the exact opposite to happen. But I mean, that's
why they play of the game. That's what's fun about it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
Bison with first down and ten at their own twenty
Peyton shotgun takes this snap back to throw fires left.
It's caught by Chris Harris, wrapped up at the belt
shy of the twenty five yard line. Tackled on the
play by Gavin Sheppard. Gain of about five on the play,
and it'll be second down in medium coming up for

(01:29:56):
the Bison.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
Nice strong hands there by Chris.

Speaker 8 (01:29:59):
The dB from Southern Illinois was really trying to punch
that thing out, but just nice strong, firm hands from Chris.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
Completion of six officially now second down and four. Bison
with the leads seven to three, four forty three remaining
in the first quarter. Peyton and the pistol Barrika Penu,
the running back behind him, hand off Berka running right
side and he is at the line of scrimmage. Chris Presto,
the linebacker, makes the stop at the twenty seven yard line,
only a gain of one on the play, and that

(01:30:28):
will leave the Bison with third down and three, a
four point lead for the home team for twenty remaining.

Speaker 55 (01:30:34):
Of the opening quarter. What'd you say his last name
was Presto. Presto, Presto like that? I think we can
use that in I like that, Yeah, Presto.

Speaker 3 (01:30:45):
I don't think we've had one of those this year.
We have not four and change to play in the quarter,
third and three. Bison at the twenty seven yard line.
Motion from Lance snapped to Peyton back to throw, calling
a crump pocket.

Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
He got tripped up, got tripped up down in the
twenty five yard line. It'll officially go down as a
sack loss of two.

Speaker 3 (01:31:07):
He was trying to escape pressure was coming in and
he got tripped up on the play by Vontrell Chaze
defensive end.

Speaker 2 (01:31:16):
Down to Chicago.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
Bison go three and out and now they'll have to punt.
So here's Aaron Bickerton, the Bison punter from England. He
has only punted once since the SEMO game. Did not
punt last week against Illinois State, punted just once against
South Dakota and the conference opener back deep to return
tay Mario. Here's the boot by Bickerton, and it's a

(01:31:39):
spiraling kick and Mario gets destroyed. He gets hit immediately
and it's Darius Gibbons down on the coverage, lowering.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
The boom the Bison safety with a big time hit.

Speaker 3 (01:31:52):
Return of zero at Southern Illinois will start at the
thirty five.

Speaker 7 (01:31:57):
Really good job, booming hit or that takes. It takes
a special kind of guy to time that up, not
get a penalty, but still make the hit right when
the ball gets there. A lot of times you can
dislodge those, not in this case, but well done plus
for Nbasue.

Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
Yeah, Mario decided not to play a call for fair
catch and he paid the price. Good coverage by Gibbins.
First out in ten, Southern Illinois owned thirty five yard line.
Bell high snap to Williams, give to Chapman, runs the middle,
and Chapman drives the feet forward across the forty yard
line of the forty two Gibbins with the stop coming
up from safety, not before a gain of seven and

(01:32:33):
it'll be second down and three for Southern Illinois.

Speaker 8 (01:32:36):
Another big hit there from Darius that'sitting back to back plays.
Now he's flying up in that box and delivering the
boom right now buys in.

Speaker 2 (01:32:44):
Safety second year starter from Shamblett Park.

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
Minnesota to forty five, remaining in the quarter seven three
buys and second and three Southern Illinois own forty two.
Williams in the gun claps for the ball, fakes the
screen right now we'll run back left has a hole
of a forty five snacked down by Gibbons to the
forty seven yard line, not before a gate of five.
DJ Williams, using his feet design quarterback run gives the

(01:33:07):
Sulukis the first down Buisen.

Speaker 7 (01:33:09):
Defensive front are getting locked up a little bit. They
gotta hold the line of scrimmants so their linebackers can flow,
and they need to get off their blocks a little
bit better. You see some jerseys pretty wrinkled and some
shoulder pads showing, but I guess said no yellow flags
are coming out.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
Davis and Jones.

Speaker 3 (01:33:26):
The receivers right, McCray and in the boundary left Quinn
is a tight end left chap in the running back

yard line.

Speaker 2 (01:33:36):
Williams backing into.

Speaker 3 (01:33:37):
The gun, adjusting the play snapplock at two snapclock at one.
He claps for the ball and whistles come in. Don't
think he got the snap off at time penalty marker.

Speaker 49 (01:33:47):
They call the timeout to snap timeout Southern Illinois be
a thirty second timeout.

Speaker 2 (01:33:53):
Gotcha? All right?

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
So time out taken by Nick Hill. Let's pause ten
seconds for station identification. You're listening to the Pioneer Seeds
Bison Sports Network from Leerfield. All right, so Southern Illinois

(01:34:17):

Hornbocker's freshness in quality.

Speaker 3 (01:34:43):
Since nineteen fifty one, Bison lead on the strength of
a Bryce land seventy five yard touchdown run. Both teams
traded punts, and now Southern Illinois with the ball at
their own forty seven first down in ten seven to
three Byson, nine remaining in the opening quarter, Robinson motions
in the backfield snap to Williams. Dodge is one tackler

(01:35:06):
and then is met by another tackled at the line
of scrimmage at the forty seven Donovan Woolan was able
to swallow him up and looked like there was maybe
some mistiming on the snap with motion from the running
back Edward Robinson heelmals bumped into the snap, or maybe
it was a designed fake.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
Regardless, no gain.

Speaker 7 (01:35:23):
I think that showed up for me in that place.
A couple of misstackles. Once again, he didn't get much more,
but he made two guys miss and gained only a
couple of yards. After that. You gotta find a way
to set your feet wrap up. We'll let him get
those extra yards.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
McCray and Jones twin stack right Quinn the tight end
motionick from right to left on second and ten and
the Sun of Illinois forty seven knee high snap to
Williams rolls to his right, fires down the right side,
wide open man. It's McCrae inside the twenty five, taken
down from behind by staling inside the Bison twenty to
the nineteen yard line, thirty four yard gain. Baby and

(01:36:00):
Cray from DJ Williams. He was wide open first down
Southern Illinois.

Speaker 7 (01:36:05):
Staling was coming from the linebacker position. I'm not sure
who made the mistake there, but you're right he was
wide open.

Speaker 44 (01:36:12):
On that player.

Speaker 3 (01:36:13):
Now Southern Illinois inside the red zone second time in
his opening quarter, Biesen lead at seven to three thirty
two seconds winding down here in the first twins left,
it's Jones and Davis.

Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
McCray solon out of the boundary on Duffy on the right.

Speaker 3 (01:36:28):
Williams of the chetgun first intent, takes the snap blitz
his Arie throws left side, going to the end zone
in complete, but penalty markers reining in the secondary. Davis
was locked up, maybe a little too walked up. Could
be pass interference on the Bason.

Speaker 7 (01:36:44):
It looked like he kind of grabbed an arm or something.

Speaker 8 (01:36:48):
Yeah, that ball was way underthrown and receiver ended up
fighting right back through j Keys to try and get
to that ball there.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
Carl Chapman, the official part of the pass holding defense
number zero your ten yard penalty automatic first down. That
is Jks Alexander, a junior from Ruskin, Florida, and that
will give Southern Illinois first down.

Speaker 7 (01:37:14):
Yeah, I think if he would have known where the
ball was. Wow, heck, you might have saved the touchdown.

Speaker 2 (01:37:19):
On So now Southern Illinois knocking on the door.

Speaker 3 (01:37:24):
They have outscored opponents in the first quarter big time
this season. The Bison leaded seven to three, trying to
protect it with first down and goal sixteen seconds to
play in the opening quarter.

Speaker 2 (01:37:36):
Balls at the Bison nine, chapping the running back.

Speaker 3 (01:37:39):
Off the left tip of Williams motion in the backfield
from names belt highstaff to Williams. He keeps up in
the middle, running up the hash mark and he has
tangled near the five yard line. Kelton mccastlan with the stop,
but not before a gate of four and the final
seconds winding off of the first quarter here in Fargo.
Fifteen minutes in the books and the Bison we the

(01:38:01):
lead seven to three on the Coach's Choice scoreboard. Cold
Green going to have to try and hang in tight
when we come back for the second quarter.

the Bison defense.

Speaker 2 (01:41:04):
They're back on their heels. Southern Illinois putting together a drive.

Speaker 3 (01:41:07):
They're gonna have second down and goal at the five,
and we'll see if NDAs you can dig in and
slow down.

Speaker 2 (01:41:12):
DJ Williams and company.

Speaker 7 (01:41:14):
Yeah, you look at all these numbers here. I mean,
the hippopotamus in the room here is that they've got
twelve minutes and forty two seconds. So Southern Illinois does
in the first quarter. Heck, I would think that that's
the kind of team NDSU wants to be, but just
not having it that way. But the good news is
the Byson leading the score for the.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
Time beam seven three.

Speaker 3 (01:41:34):
Byson started the second quarter second down and goal at
the five yard line, handoff Chapman bouncing around.

Speaker 2 (01:41:40):
He's got the end zone.

Speaker 3 (01:41:41):
Touchdown Chandler Chapman off of the right side into the
end zone, untouched, and Southern Illinois has.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Grammed the lead back here in Fargo.

Speaker 3 (01:41:51):
They lead the top ranked Bison nine to seven with
four seconds down here on the second quarter.

Speaker 7 (01:42:00):
How what do you say, I mean, I pretty much
untouched one. I make got a finger on him, but yeah,
they got to the Biden events have to slow down
these runs, these chunks of yardage by Southern Illinois. You
gotta slow that down if you expect to have a
chance to win this game.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
Extra point by Paul Halen to our left, high snap
put down by jas Clark, and then Halen is still
able to strike it through. It is good and it
is now ten to seven Southern Illinois the Bison trail

Ten to seven Southern Illinois with the lead over the
Bison on the Coaches Choice scoreboard fourteen fifty six.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
Remaining of the second quarter.

Speaker 3 (01:44:37):
Southern Illinois scores on the first play of the quarter,
five yard rushing touchdown by Chandler Chapman.

Speaker 2 (01:44:42):
Six play, sixty five yard drive that took.

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
Three minutes and fifteen seconds, and now the Bison trail
once again.

Speaker 2 (01:44:49):
It was three to nothings Southern.

Speaker 3 (01:44:51):
Then the Byson scored on their first play from scrimmage
seventy five yard rushing score by Bryce Lance.

Speaker 2 (01:44:57):
Southern Illinois punnit, Bison punned and then Southern.

Speaker 3 (01:45:00):
Just took it in for the touchdown. To grab the
lead again. Paul Haylen kicks off from right to left
and it's a high kick that flies into the end
zone for a touchback. So here comes the Bison offense
with three and out on the last series, Cole Payton.
The company will start at the twenty five, working from
left to right as you listen in green and gold,

(01:45:20):
Southern Illinois defending in white and maroon. We saw this
last week Bill the Bison trailed for the first time
last season two to nothing and then nine to seven.
After Illinois State responded, Bison were able to answer the
Bill and ultimately out run Hems outscored of fifteen to
nothing in the fourth quarter to win thirty three to sixteen.

Speaker 7 (01:45:42):
Hopefully we can see some more of that here today.
You know that offensive coordinator is always figuring things out,
putting in different personnel. See how the defense responds.

Speaker 3 (01:45:51):
From the twenty five first and ten, Col Payton under
center handoff Barika and he is met by the safety
Vinnie Pierre Junior at about the twenty nine year yard line.
Gain of four on the play and it'll set up
the Bison a second down at six.

Speaker 2 (01:46:07):
Barika with a big game last.

Speaker 3 (01:46:09):
Week at Illinois stayed one hundred and sixteen yards and
a touchdown, a forty two yard touchdown in which he
broke multiple tackles. Tim Paul sid called it the best
run of his career. Bison have second and six at
their own twenty nine yard line. Peyton in the shotgun
gets to snap a little keeper now dumps right flat,
caught by Bryce up to the thirty five yard line,

(01:46:30):
breaks a tackle and stays on his feet to the
thirty seven. Pierre had first contact on him and then
he was knocked down by sug Walker.

Speaker 2 (01:46:38):
Gain of eight on the play and a first down
from the Bison to move the sticks.

Speaker 8 (01:46:43):
And Bryce actually catches that ball behind the line of scrimmage,
so that actually allows.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
Your receivers to block down field. You know, he might
be calling for offensive.

Speaker 8 (01:46:50):
Pass interference, but since he's behind the line of scrimmage,
receivers are eligible to gallic block right away.

Speaker 3 (01:46:56):
Bryce with the Acteger first down for the Bison, first
down and ten at the Bison thirty six playoffs. Fake
Peyton rolling to his left clutch his throws left sideline.
Why open Chris Harris out of bounds at midfield and
they'll mark him at midfield for a game of fourteen.

Speaker 2 (01:47:12):
But he could have had a ton more. He just
sort of backed his way on the sideline.

Speaker 7 (01:47:16):
Yeah, too bad. Good catch though. I thought Peyton could
run that one too, But too bad he stepped out.
He had ten yards of clear field around him and
just trying to slow his momentum and had to step
out of mountains.

Speaker 3 (01:47:29):
Second catch of the afternoon for Harris, two for twenty
so far, ball on midfield thirteen to eighteen, remaining of
the half Buyson trail ten to seven. Peyton with the
gift to Barika behind pulling blockers at the forty five,
banging his way forward down to the Saluki forty one
yard line. Ben Fiegel had the tackle not before a
gate of nine. It'll be second down to one for

(01:47:49):
a DSU from left to right.

Speaker 7 (01:47:52):
Just as the makings of a really good drive for
NBSU here pass, run bout leg. I mean, everything is
working here, clicking on all cylinders.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
Bison answering with a good drive of their own.

Speaker 3 (01:48:03):
Owen Johnson has checked in at running back off the
left tip of Peyton Jackson, Williams wide to the left,
Vin Diggins tight end left, rajn Bryce the receivers right
on second down and one, a handoff to Raja, a
little reverse and he has nowhere to go.

Speaker 2 (01:48:16):
He just falls down on the perimeter.

Speaker 3 (01:48:19):
I'm down by Jake Perella back at the forty five
yard line and that's a loss of four.

Speaker 2 (01:48:25):
Third down and five.

Speaker 3 (01:48:27):
Parrella the son of a former NFL player, John Perella,
back with the Bills, loss of four.

Speaker 7 (01:48:32):
I played with John Parrella. Yes you did.

Speaker 2 (01:48:35):
Yeah, very nice. Loss of four.

Speaker 3 (01:48:38):
It's gonna be third down and five now for the
Bison so far this year fifty percent sixth in the
country first or zero for one on third down. Today
from the forty five yard line, third down and five,
Peyton in the gun, gets the knee high snap back
to throw, stands in now rolls to his left and
he has pressured. He throws up the left sideline incomplete

(01:49:01):
penalty markers down in the backfield. Pressure was coming in
the big d tackle a mere dwight and it looks.

Speaker 2 (01:49:09):
Like it might be holding a deed on the Bison.
I'll be interested to see what Southern does here.

Speaker 8 (01:49:15):
You know this is borderline four down territory for the Bison,
or if you accept the ten yard penalty and give
the Bison a second crack at this third.

Speaker 49 (01:49:22):
Down holding offense number seventy one, A penalty has declined.

Speaker 2 (01:49:26):
The result of the play is fourth down.

Speaker 3 (01:49:30):
They declined the penalty, so it will be fourth down
in five and Tim Polisik sends on the punting unit.
Aaron Bickerton comes on the punt. He lines up back
in the forty yard line. Caleb Bower is a long
snapper Southern Illinois and punt safe right now. Tay Mario

(01:49:51):
is the return man back at his own ten yard line.
Fourth down in five from the Bison at the forty
five regular long s after Bickerton and the Englishman boots
it end over end of the air, Mario lets it
fly inside the ten and it's down right there in
coverage by the Bison.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
Nicely done. They go down and down the ball coverage made.

Speaker 3 (01:50:14):
By Antoine Booth, and the Bison will paint in Southern
Illinois back deep. When we come back eleven forty three
remaining of the half, there's a break of the action
with our score the Bison seven Southern Illinois ten.

After a Bison punt, Southern Illinois pinned deep first down
in ten.

Own twelve yard line.

Speaker 3 (01:52:31):
Ball on the right, hash DJ Williams and the shaftgun
emotions Vincent Davis from left to right. Here's a snap
to Williams gift to Chandler. Chapman runs up the middle
and he is cut down at about the fifteen or
so tackle made on the play. By Zach Vanderpool. Medium
gain of calling about four or so. It's going to
be second down in six for the Sulukis.

Speaker 7 (01:52:54):
Southern Loi offensive line. I mean there's some big guys
up there. They're playing pretty well. It's a good contest,
good matchup ar defensive line in your offensive line.

Speaker 3 (01:53:04):
Second down and six, Southern Illinois owned fifteen yard line.
Davis called in motion from left to right once again.
Williams claps for the ball. Play fake under pressure, fires
right sideline incomplete looking for Davis coverage by Darius Gibbons,
and it'll be third down and six after the Bison
turn away on the play fake pass.

Speaker 7 (01:53:25):
Boy, you look like gibbans random right out of bounds.
I mean this even if you're the caught this on's
ben and bounds.

Speaker 3 (01:53:32):
So our FDC company impacts that before the game. Third down,
Southern Illinois one for three on third. On third and six,
Williams back to throw pocket crumb like steps up.

Speaker 2 (01:53:44):
Now we'll tuck and.

Speaker 3 (01:53:45):
Run diving forward pass the twenty yard line out to
the twenty four enough for the first down nine yards
scramble for DJ Williams. He picks up another one with
his legs improvising with Bison pressure caving in.

Speaker 2 (01:53:57):
It'll be first down Southern Illinois from right to left.

Speaker 7 (01:54:01):
Well done. Kind of looks like Cole Payton what he's
done for us the last few games. So they've got
a playmaker. Two.

Speaker 3 (01:54:07):
Yeah, he's already up to forty two yards rushing on
just eight carries so far. First down in ten, Southern Illinois,
with breathing space owned twenty three.

Speaker 2 (01:54:16):
Yard line cheer receivers either side.

Speaker 3 (01:54:18):
Running back off the right hip is Chapman, snap to
Williams gifted Chapman, and he is tripped up in the
backfield penetration by Logan cop He cut him down right
at the line of scrimmage and will be no gains.

Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
Second down in ten.

Speaker 3 (01:54:35):
Great John by Logan coming in the two time first
team Missouri Valley a conference pick.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
And now second down in ten.

Speaker 3 (01:54:42):
As we approached ten minutes on the dot remaining in
the first half byzan trail ten to seven, Southern Illinois
went the ball own twenty three, second down ten to go.

Speaker 2 (01:54:53):
A running back on either hip of Williams Washed to
his right, Davis to his left, snap to Williams.

Speaker 3 (01:54:59):
Four man rush Williams under pressure, Williams is sacked again.

Speaker 2 (01:55:04):
Down he goes fifth down inside the fifteen yard line.

Speaker 3 (01:55:09):
Logan Marson got to him Kadan Wilson as well a
Bison sack and it's gonna be third down at seventeen.

Speaker 7 (01:55:18):
Well, that a little bit of a twist inside. The
two defensive linemen on the inside exchange responsibilities, gave him
some penetration. They came off the job well done. Now
third down again, all right, Southern Eloi's got a lot
of third downs in him. We've got to stop him.
Your Bingham pun.

Speaker 2 (01:55:35):
Bya Ison sack, brought to you by Northern bag of box.
The proof is in the package.

Speaker 3 (01:55:39):
He's third and seventeen at the Southern Illinois sixteen yard line,
play clock at two.

Speaker 2 (01:55:45):
Williams calls for the ball, three man rush.

Speaker 3 (01:55:48):
He floats it left side, looking in incomplete, looking for
McCrae coverage by Duffy and Gibbons crashing over the top.
Bets safety incomplete and the BIS would make the stop.
Southern Illinois will have to bring on the punt of unit.

Speaker 7 (01:56:01):
Was that given to us coming over there? That was
a great play. It's a great timing play and made
some pretty serious contact there that receiver will remember that
good job.

Speaker 2 (01:56:11):
It's starting to get physical.

Speaker 3 (01:56:13):
Both teams trading stops eight p fifty three remaining in
the half, Bison down ten to seven, but Southern Illinois
will punt from inside its own.

Speaker 2 (01:56:23):
Twenty yard line.

Speaker 3 (01:56:24):
Let's see if NDSU brings a pressure for it, Halent
will boot it from his own one. He gets it
away cleanly with the right foot and Rajohn Nelson is
feels it.

Speaker 2 (01:56:34):
At the twenty nine yard or thirty nine yard line.

Speaker 3 (01:56:36):
I should say I faircats called for and that's where
the Byson will have the ball when we come back
time out on the field eight forty seven remaining in
the half, breaking the action with our score Southern Illinois
ten the Bison seven.

Today's game brought to you in part by act Tegra
Cooperative act Techra Cooperative Legacy, Rich Future Focus for generations
to come back inside the far Noo Dome eight forty
seven remaining in the half the Bison Trail Southern Illinois
ten to seven on the Coaches Choice scoreboard, Sam.

Speaker 2 (01:58:45):
Phil and Noah with you. Hope you're doing well. Appreciate
you joining us.

Speaker 3 (01:58:49):
Bizon just forced a punt and now they get it
at their own thirty eight yard line. Good field position
for NDSU working from left to right as you listen.
First down in ten Peyton and the shotgun with two
receivers right, one on the left. Play fake by Peyton
back to throw, has time, throws over the left side and.

Speaker 2 (01:59:06):
It's cut by Roshi Nelson bending out to the far sideline.

Speaker 3 (01:59:09):
In Southern Illinois territory at the bounds at the thirty
six Rajah for a gain of twenty six and a
first down by NDSU.

Speaker 7 (01:59:19):
I wasn't sure Raja could make just a standard catch.
He's always diving or jumping around or something. But it
look good and I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:59:27):
Next thing you know, he's off to the races.

Speaker 3 (01:59:29):
He had another diving one last week at Illinois State
and that went on the crosser good for twenty six
first down by his it eight sixteen whining down on
the first half clock. First down from the thirty six
hand on Perrika up the middle inside the thirty breaking
tackles still going inside the twenty five and then locked
up by multiple Siluki tadlers at the twenty two yard line,

(01:59:50):
but not before BK with a big run fourteen yards
up the pipe, first down NDSU again.

Speaker 7 (01:59:56):
Did you see the power and just pulling tacklers. I mean,
I'm not sure he could do a year or two ago.
He is, he's stronger, just looks really good, just really strong,
no waste.

Speaker 3 (02:00:06):
Of motion, really good run by Barika Penu. And now
the Bison knocking on the door of the case. I
h red zone first and ten in the twenty two
high formation, tossed to Barrika and this time not much
room running left side, he gets brought down about a
half yard behind the line of scrimmage, back to about
the twenty two and a half maybe the twenty three
yard line. Officially a loss of one on the play

(02:00:29):
and it will be second down at eleven coming up
for NDSU.

Speaker 8 (02:00:33):
So far from the Southern Illinois defense, it just seems
like a lot of chaos. They're blitzing heavy, lot of
stunts up front, bringing these linebackers hard.

Speaker 2 (02:00:40):
So I imagine at some point there's gonna be some
shots over the top.

Speaker 3 (02:00:44):
Getting taken here second down at eleven Bison Abo at
the Saluki twenty three yard line.

Speaker 2 (02:00:49):
Finn Diggins's motions into.

Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
Line snapped to Peyton looking around, scrambling out to his left,
out hill run, juking his way and crunching with a
tackler around the near or far boundary in the twenty
yard line. Jeremiah McClinton the corner forced amount of bounds
scramble good for about three and that will leave the
Bison with third down and eight.

Speaker 7 (02:01:10):
Well, I just hate see and Cole taking shots like this,
just a direct shot. I mean, I know he's a
tough guy and stuff, but no harm there.

Speaker 2 (02:01:18):
But ouch, Bison clapp and break the huddle.

Speaker 3 (02:01:22):
Six thirty two, winding down the first half, Bison trail
by three, third down and eight, ball at the twenty
yard line of Southern Illinois. Lanson the boundary left, three
receivers right, snapped to Peyton all out blitz is on.
Peyton throws left side low incomplete, looking for Bryce on
a comebacker out. Ball was coming in a little low

(02:01:43):
and he wasn't able to hang on to it. McLendon
in coverage. It'll be fourth and eight and the Bison
will bring on the field goal unit to try and
tie the game.

Speaker 7 (02:01:50):
You know what a great job by the Bison front
five offensive lineman, the full backs picking up that Balnz.
There was two or three extra guys coming there and
they picked it all up. Get cold time.

Speaker 3 (02:02:03):
This will be a thirty eight yard field goal for Eliosick,
who made from thirty eight last week at Illinois State.
Ball on the left, Hash Bowers to snap Biggerton the hole,
low snap and the spot kick is up and the
kick is good. Eliosick not tone the thirty eight yard
field goal and the Bison m not in the game.

Speaker 2 (02:02:24):
Up again. We're all square at ten with six twelve
remaining in the first half.

Speaker 7 (02:02:31):
Good job, Ozak. When you need it, you gotta have it,
and that was one of those you really needed. So
well done. Put her through the uprights. Your team needed you.
You produced.

Speaker 3 (02:02:40):
Injured player for Southern Illinois down in the middle of
the field. It looks like a defensive back. It is
Jeremiah McClendon, one of their starting corners, and he's able
to jog off the field.

Speaker 1 (02:02:51):
Looks okay, that's good to see.

Speaker 3 (02:02:53):
So a six play, forty two yard drive, two thirty
five off the clock, thirty eight yard field goal. Good
bye Oazick. That is our Nicolay drive summary. Nicolay Law

Speaker 7 (02:03:11):
You know, defense just has to find a way to
get off the field. It's blitzing. But those third downs
we said they were gonna be a big deal, and
they are. I don't like the time of possession by
Southern Illinois. I don't like the extended drives, but it
is a war out there. This is a good team.
This is our best challenge this year, all the way through.
This is a good team on both sides of the ball.

Speaker 3 (02:03:31):
It said kind of battle that Tim Polisick was anticipating
another top ten vo for the Bison, And right now
it's all tied up ten to ten between number one
and number eight, six twelve remaining in the first half.
Bison will kick from left to right as you listen,
Bison and Greed and gold some in Illinois and white
Baron Ozick to butt it and he comes up, strings

(02:03:51):
it with a light right foot and over end kick.
Faircatch signal by Davis and he takes it at the
twenty five yard line. Born on the planes of Dakota,

Sam you read that line, I would just want to
go out and have a beer schoon, Chris, Chris Biss
everything you could want for our friends at Black Leg Octoberfest.
Maybe tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:04:25):
Yeah, yeah, he brought some sour crowd. You're good to go.

Speaker 3 (02:04:29):
Ten to ten on the coaching toy scoreboard code great
back out on the field. Let's see if we can
get a stop here from the twenty five first down
run Chapman hopping through the line, lowering the shoulder and
falling forward across the thirty yard line to the thirty
tow or so a healthy run on first down for
Edward Robinson.

Speaker 2 (02:04:46):
I beg your pardon, reserve running back who.

Speaker 3 (02:04:48):
Transferred in from Duquane one hundred and twenty four yards
last week that Daniel Staling had the stop, but not
before a game of eight second down and two, empty backfield.
Now three on the right, two on the left. Snapped
to Williams four man set up for He's flushed from
the pocket. He sets and throws awkward looking ball, kind
of a hobbled d' hooy, and that goes down and
bounds incomplete.

Speaker 2 (02:05:08):
Second down in two or third down in two coming up.

Speaker 7 (02:05:11):
I'm looking ball. What did you say?

Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
Hobbledehoy?

Speaker 44 (02:05:14):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (02:05:16):
It's an awkward looking ball?

Speaker 7 (02:05:17):
I was an awkward looking ball. Want It looked like
it went into the stands or bounced off of hand
of somewhere on the sideline.

Speaker 1 (02:05:25):
Yeah, that was ugly.

Speaker 3 (02:05:26):
I was all right, let's see we get this stop
by forty two remaining in the half, Tied up at
ten ball in the Southern Illinois thirty three, third down
and two, crowd roaring with Mario left, Williams an empty backfield,
cheer receivers right. He takes a snap quarterback run on
the right side, has the first down of the forty

(02:05:47):
forty five to fifty in Deovison territory, and tackled from
behind by Ryan Jones at the forty one yard line.
DJ Williams continuing to hurt the Bison with his legs,
twenty six yard gain and a first down four the
sulukis they put it at the forty two officially gained

(02:06:10):
him twenty five and he continues to run wild another
third down pickup with his legs. Five oh seven to
go in the first half. Byson tie ten to ten.
Right now, three receivers left, two tight ends right, another
empty backfield for Williams score man front four of the Bison.

Speaker 2 (02:06:29):
Here's the step to Williams face.

Speaker 3 (02:06:31):
The quarterback drop floats it down the left side line
looking for Davis incomplete falling down to his backside. Wasn't
able to hang on to it that Daniel Stanley had
coverage from linebacker. They tried to solo up Davis on
the left side. Ball was just a little underthrown.

Speaker 7 (02:06:46):
Second to ten, boy staling put in a bad position there,
but really covering some ground to catch up. It was
underthrown a little bit, but well done. Good job that was.
I'm glad that was not complete with me too.

Speaker 3 (02:07:00):
Davis the number one receiver of the conference so far.
So far, he just has two catches for three yards.
The Bison have contained him nicely this afternoon, but Dj Williams,
the quarterback has done some damage on the ground.

Speaker 2 (02:07:12):
We're tied to ten on second down a jetsweek game.

Speaker 3 (02:07:15):
Cutting up the left side and slamming into the linebacker
was Chapman and it's Stepaniels Staling who wrapped him up
with a big time tackle.

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
Back of the forty two No gate on the plane.

Speaker 7 (02:07:28):
Well, just you got to scrape over your defensive end
and he's coming hell bent for election and great tackle,
get him on the ground. Fast runner, moves well, has
a great feel for the game. Just everything you need
in the linebacker.

Speaker 3 (02:07:43):
At Daniel Staling, the Bison first year captain linebacker with
the tackle.

Speaker 2 (02:07:47):
He's been everywhere so far already.

Speaker 3 (02:07:50):
His seventh temple of the afternoon, third down in ten
and the bys at forty two, empty backfield, four receivers right,
one man left, Snepp to Williams. He rolls right, screen
pass up the middle, cut by Quinn the tight end
at the thirty five thirty and then taken down at
the number on the near side thirty yard line.

Speaker 2 (02:08:07):
Givens had the tackle.

Speaker 3 (02:08:08):
Creative play called the tight end on the screen, twelve
yard gain, first down.

Speaker 7 (02:08:13):
Sulukies just you got him third and ten. Send a
blitzer and you little guy wide open across the middle.

Speaker 1 (02:08:24):
Oh, that just hurts.

Speaker 7 (02:08:25):
That kills the defense. That kind of third down and
ten play on a long drive just kills the defense.

Speaker 3 (02:08:32):
Southern Illinois has supped in E. T. Harris, a third
string quarterback split wide to the left. Now he comes
into the backfield and lines up at quarterback. Williams slut right,
snap to Harris. Thanks to Williams keeping around the right side,
keeping his feet inside the thirty down the twenty five
yard line gain of about five maybe six, only a

(02:08:52):
medium gain. Harris will go back to the sideline fired up.
They brought in their third string QB for a trick play.
He swept around the right side, got positive yardage second
and four.

Speaker 7 (02:09:03):
Nathaniel Staling on the play running that one down too.

Speaker 3 (02:09:07):
Just been everywhere but Sunne Illinois continuing to drive under
three to play in the first half ten to ten
aren't score bought the Bison twenty four and second down
and four. Two receivers Let McCray and Davis Jones. A
solo man in the boundary right belt. Heist up to
Williams cornerback draw around the tackle from staling and then
Nathaniel able to take him down in the twenty four

(02:09:28):
he was able to dodge around Kelt mccasly, and I
beg your pardon on the first attempt, it'll be no
gain on the play at third down and four coming up.

Speaker 8 (02:09:36):
And I know you talked about a pregame, Phil, how
important these third downs were gonna be. In so far,
Southern Illinois really passed that test. They've been really good
on third down so far.

Speaker 2 (02:09:44):
Yeah, they're four out of seven so far.

Speaker 3 (02:09:47):
It's third down and four at the Bison twenty four
yard line. Williams with washed the running back to his right,
now looking to the sideline with ten on the play clock,
Davis and McCray, the receivers left, Joe and Soloman, Wright,
Aid and Quinn the tight end wing right, and Southern
Illinois is going to let this clock run down of the.

Speaker 2 (02:10:06):
Two minute timeout.

Speaker 3 (02:10:09):
Two minute timeout, and we will keep it right here
as we prepare for the big third down and four

Speaker 2 (02:10:52):
Ten to ten.

Speaker 3 (02:10:53):
Our score on the coaches twice warboard. Two minutes remaining
in the first half. Southern Illinois has the ball and
they will have third down and four from the Bison
twenty four.

Speaker 2 (02:11:06):
Yard line after the break.

Speaker 3 (02:11:09):
Noah, what have you been seeing that has been frustrating
the Bison defense so far allowing Southern Illinois to move
to football?

Speaker 8 (02:11:15):
I mean it's just been DJ Williams and his legs
I think are the big thing. He not only is
breaking tackles to extend plays, but you know, we have
great coverage on the back end some plays and you know,
we just get out of our rush lanes a little
bit and he's able to find a seam and scramble.
So just staying super disciplined in your rush lanes on
defense and always making sure we have him accounted for us.
He hasn't beat us too bad over the top throwing

(02:11:37):
the ball yet, and just continue to make him prove
that he can do that. I think we'll have to
heat him up a little bit here, just so he
doesn't have so much time to sit back there.

Speaker 7 (02:11:45):
He's a cool customer back there. I mean, he's he
understands the game. He plays it well, he knows his role.
He's he's doing a really good job just being that
we the quarterback back there, just understanding the game, the situation.
He's done well.

Speaker 8 (02:12:00):
And you know Endius who hasn't done a great job
so far slowing him down, but they aren't hitting him
a lot and those are gonna start to hopefully wear
on him a.

Speaker 2 (02:12:07):
Little bit more as this game goes on.

Speaker 3 (02:12:09):
He's seven out of thirteen for eighty yards, throwing fifty
nine yards on the ground Sun of Illinois.

Speaker 2 (02:12:16):
As third down and four at the Bison twenty four.

Speaker 3 (02:12:19):
They're four out of seven out third down this afternoon,
big boy for the Byson defense. What two minutes of
play in a half Williams have They've gotten two receivers
either signed. Watch the running back hings over at the
waist left. They mostly quit in the backfield right run
play up the middle, watch keeps it, bounces off a
tackler and sign a twenty and he's down in the
eighteen yard line.

Speaker 2 (02:12:39):
Six yard game.

Speaker 3 (02:12:40):
The Bison had him wooland brought him down ultimately, but
not before the first down.

Speaker 2 (02:12:45):
They needed four, they get six.

Speaker 7 (02:12:49):
You gotta get off those blocks, that double team. You
gotta hold your ground. What's the defensive line of new
linebacker just picked the wrong side. You gotta get off
your block.

Speaker 8 (02:12:59):
And Uliano, another Byson d lineman, was in the backfield
on that play, but just not quite able to wrangle
the running back down there.

Speaker 3 (02:13:08):
Now one thirty five ticking down in the first half
ten to ten. Bison defend their own eighteen yard line.
First and ten for something Illinois play action. Williams throws
left side, bawling down catch by Vincent Davis. The third
Bison are saying incomplete, and the officials agree and they
say incomplete. Davis wasn't able to hang on to it,
lost his footing, ball came in low.

Speaker 2 (02:13:29):
It'll be second down at ten now.

Speaker 8 (02:13:32):
Actually ended up being a big play there. You know,
you have to think the Bison are trying to save
some of this clock for themselves so that they can
run a two minute drill before halftime. But not having
to burn a time out there.

Speaker 2 (02:13:42):
Really helped huge.

Speaker 3 (02:13:43):
On twenty three remaining two timeouts left for something Illinois
all three for the bodies, and we're tie at ten
second and ten. Buys an eighteen yard line tier receivers left,
one man on the right snapped to Williams. He throws
one on one right side incomplete looking for Fabian McCrae.
Coverage by Jalen Duffy, and it'll be third down and

(02:14:03):
ten with one eighteen to play here in half number one.

Speaker 7 (02:14:07):
Boy, A lot of hands on there, both players, no
flags come out. Happy to see that. I wouldn't have
been surprised if the plague winna come out though.

Speaker 3 (02:14:17):
Another big third down, this time third down and ten
at the Bison eighteen ball rests on the right hash
ten ten game one eighteen remaining in the first quarter half.
Miles Marshall tight end flanker out to the left along
with Jay Jones, two receivers right, McCray and Davis.

Speaker 2 (02:14:37):
Here's the snap. Blitz is on Williams.

Speaker 59 (02:14:39):
Under pressure, ball got knocked pray, Bison got the ball
Baul got knocked free.

Speaker 3 (02:14:44):
The Pison habit Kdan Wilson knocked it out. Toby and
n and I recovered and the Bison takeover. What thirteen
remaining and a half? Boy, you want to talk about
momentum changer right there.

Speaker 8 (02:15:00):
He talked about that last week, how big that fumble
was and how it flipped the script completely last weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:15:05):
Hopefully this turnover does the exact same thing this week.

Speaker 3 (02:15:09):
Keenan Wilson was able at jard free as Williams felt
the pressure and Toby and Made came in. He got
the recovery, a huge takeaway, the first turnover of the game.

Speaker 2 (02:15:21):
It belongs to the.

Speaker 3 (02:15:22):
Bison and now Andysu takes over on twenty nine ten
to ten our score one thirteen to play in the half.

Speaker 2 (02:15:30):
Rajohn Nelson in motion.

Speaker 3 (02:15:32):
Here's a snap to Peyton, give to Barrika off left
guard and Barrika goes tumbling down to about the thirty
four yard line.

Speaker 2 (02:15:39):
Ben Fiegel had the table and the Bison go hurry up.

Speaker 3 (02:15:43):
With about a minute and change to play in the
half second and medium second and five at the thirty
four yard line, two receivers right, one man on the left,
low snap to Peyton back to throw fires right side,
incomplete looking for Rajohn Nelson and the pass was a
little bit wide. Vinnie Pierre June in coverage quickly. Now
third down and five with fifty two seconds remaining of

(02:16:04):
the half.

Speaker 2 (02:16:07):
All right, run.

Speaker 3 (02:16:11):
So the Bison on third down today zero for three
came in at fifty percent, and so far they haven't
been able to pick one up against the Seluki defense
coordinated by former Bison assistant Lee Procinski. Third and five
Byson oh thirty four three receivers right, Lance, the Soloman left.
Snapped to Peyton under pressure. He loops around, now scrambles

(02:16:33):
up forty yard life, diving his way forward.

Speaker 2 (02:16:35):
Time out out to the forty three.

Speaker 3 (02:16:37):
It's a first down for the Mason and the Sui
reset after a game of nine, they will go hurry
up forty four seconds winding down in the half. Ten
to ten our score snap to Peyton back to pass,
loads up fires Loft looking left Siper Price.

Speaker 2 (02:16:53):
They caught him down the left sideline. Why I want
to catch.

Speaker 3 (02:16:57):
Down to Suluki ten forty seven yards Bryce Lance.

Speaker 2 (02:17:02):
Some beautiful throw by Peyton, first down Mison.

Speaker 3 (02:17:07):
Wow, just wow, Now they've got all kinds of time,
thirty three seconds of playing the half, three timeouts, first
and goal with the nine, Peyton claps for the ball,
play fake payn round.

Speaker 2 (02:17:20):
Looking up, it's on the left side. It's caught.

Speaker 3 (02:17:23):
Touchdown Mison nine to five.

Speaker 2 (02:17:28):
Back to back throws Cole.

Speaker 3 (02:17:30):
Peyton to Bryce Lance nine yard touchdown and hit a blank.
They go down the field and grab the lead sixteen
to ten in ESU twenty nine seconds remaining of the half.

Speaker 7 (02:17:47):
Wow, are you talking about a quick strike offense?

Speaker 2 (02:17:49):
Well, I don't mind you talk about Bryce Lance. What
a half for him.

Speaker 3 (02:17:56):
His second touchdown, this one through the air from Cole Peyton,
seventy five yard jets sweet rushing touchdown on the first
Bison offensive play back in the first quarter.

Speaker 2 (02:18:06):
And now Eliozik with the kick and it's up. It
is good and at ESU grabs a lead back seventeen to.

Speaker 3 (02:18:14):
Ten on a nine yard passing touchdown Cole Peyton to
Bryce Lance five play seventy one yard drive forty four
seconds off the clock, and they'll get the ball again
to start a second half.

Speaker 7 (02:18:30):
Wow, this is a thing of beauty there. They didn't
even use any of their timeouts. I thought that they
should use it one of those timeouts when we got
one of their first downs, just to kind of collect themselves.
But right back on the ball, a couple of big
players Woll Bryce Lance what playmaker and Cole Peyton for
that matter. I mean he can't catch it lest the
balls there for him. Two cats, So well done, good combination.

Speaker 2 (02:18:53):
They kept it hot and it paid off. Seventy one
yards and forty four seconds.

Speaker 3 (02:18:59):
Fine play if you're a Nicolae lawn drive summary crowd
partners of the INDIESU Bison injured, get Nikola a call
one a five to five Nicola or visit nikolay law
dot com. Seventeen to ten NDSU back on top, twenty
nine seconds a remaining in the half and NDSU.

Speaker 2 (02:19:17):
Will kick off to Southern Illinois from left to right.

Speaker 3 (02:19:20):
Ozi comes up, boots it with the right foot and over,
and Vincent Davis will return from his ten up the
near side number to the twenty, finds some space and
that does a big pop with Taylor Edie at the
twenty seven yard line. Could tackle by Tailan on special teams.
Twenty three seconds to play in the half. Seventeen to
ten Bison and Southern Illinois now with two timeouts, they

(02:19:45):
got the ball to start the half. As we mentioned,
the Buys will get into start in the second, so
we'll see how they play their cards at their own
twenty eight.

Speaker 7 (02:19:52):
Officially, you know they've got two timeouts left. The salukis
so I mean it's quarterback. I mean they can get
in the field goal range. I mean they manage their
timeouts and possessions.

Speaker 2 (02:20:07):
Well, they're at their own twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (02:20:09):
Their field goal kicker Paul Hale in his career long
fifty three yards, so they need at least a few
first owns. Empty backfield on first and ten screen pass
left caught by McCrae, funneled to the middle of the
field and.

Speaker 2 (02:20:21):
Then taken down at the thirty yard line by Donovan Wood.

Speaker 3 (02:20:24):
Fourteen seconds finding down Southern Illinois lining up on the ball.

Speaker 2 (02:20:28):
They won't take a time out. I don't know if
they're going to run a play.

Speaker 3 (02:20:32):
Six seconds to play in the half, they'll set and
they'll get what more, snap to Williams.

Speaker 2 (02:20:37):
Here's a final play in the half.

Speaker 3 (02:20:38):
Williams loads up, throws deep, caught by Jones at the
forty two yard.

Speaker 2 (02:20:42):
Line and he's taken down flag on forty four.

Speaker 7 (02:20:45):
He's a flag penalty marker.

Speaker 2 (02:20:47):
By the Southern Illinois sideline on the first far side.

Speaker 7 (02:20:51):
Can't end on a defensive penalty here, it's on the offense.

Speaker 3 (02:20:57):
The referee, Carl Chapman going over to the Southern Illinois
had coached Nick Hill.

Speaker 7 (02:21:02):
What could the defensive penalty be?

Speaker 49 (02:21:04):
I believe it was offsides on Toby offside defense number
ninety three. Southern Illinois declined this penalty.

Speaker 2 (02:21:11):
That's the end of the first half.

Speaker 3 (02:21:13):
So Southern Illinois declines in and then it will be
the final play of the half, seventeen to ten to score.
Bison had the league here on the coach's choice scoreboard,
we'll get coach Paul second just a moment Bison grabbed
the league with Bryce Lance two touchdowns for NDSU.

Speaker 2 (02:21:30):
Both of them scored in this game.

Speaker 3 (02:21:32):
Unbelievable how he was able to get that last one
after the long pass by Peyton. Then they went hurry
up and found him for the nine yard score. And
the Bison, of course will get the ball to start
in the second half.

Speaker 7 (02:21:44):
Set up by the turnover kept points off the board
for them, and I mean that was they were setting
up for field goal for sure, So I mean, well
done by the Bids. That's how turnovers make such a
big difference in the game.

Speaker 3 (02:21:54):
Yeah, Keenan Wilson with the fumble Forest and then Toby
and with the fumble recovery, and then the Bison did
the two minute drill from there, an excellent drive to
take the lead back seventeen to ten our score. Let's
go downstairs Danola with coach Thanks Sam, coach. Bison defense
able to force a big turnover there?

Speaker 8 (02:22:14):
How do they slow down this explosive Southern Illinois offense
in the second half.

Speaker 7 (02:22:17):
I think that's just it.

Speaker 60 (02:22:18):
We talked about getting one and that just proved seven points, right,
We got the ball coming on at the second half.
That's a really good offense that turnover. Getting the turnover
is what we are stressing. Take takeaways, you know, steal
a possession, get.

Speaker 8 (02:22:30):
A possession back, and Byson offense will start the second half.
What are you hoping to see out of this unit?

Speaker 22 (02:22:35):
Well, yeah, just well, we only had fifteen plays before
that two minute.

Speaker 60 (02:22:39):
Drive, So defensive, we got to get off the field
on offense and we got to sustain drives.

Speaker 7 (02:22:43):
We can't falter in the red zone.

Speaker 22 (02:22:45):
And we can't come up short on third down. We
gotta convert.

Speaker 2 (02:22:48):
Thanks coach, thank you, Bank to you Sam.

Speaker 7 (02:22:49):
You know most important thing, he said, both the offense
has to stay on the field, but the defense has
to find a way to get off the field. That
is the huge That is the biggest key right now.
Defense has to get off the field on third bounds.

Speaker 2 (02:23:01):
Huge for sure.

brought to you by Petro serv USA, your official convenience

Speaker 3 (02:26:32):
Welcome back to the Forego Dome, Andy Recoff, You're with
you for our Petro Serve USA halftime Show. Petro Serve USA,
your official convenience store of Bison Athletics. Our score at
the half here in Forego Late turnaround. There at the
end of the first half, the Bison will go in
up seventeen to ten. It's awesome be getting the ball
to start half number two. To take a listen to

(02:26:53):
our first half highlights presented by Tommy's Express Car Wash.
It started off with Southern Illinois having the football to
open up plate Today they would move the ball down
the field and DJ Williams, their quarterback, was as advertised,
converting first downs with his legs and his arm, including
a third and four scramble he picked up on his own,
avoiding a couple of Byson tacklers in the backfield, then

(02:27:14):
facing a second and ten for the Bison. Thirteen Code
Green was able to make their first big play on
the Suluki signal calling made forty five remaining first quarter,
no score, second and ten at the thirteen. Williams back
to throwing his sacked. Backside pressure came in. Jack Giuliano
comes in for the sack and that's a huge one

(02:27:36):
from the Bison all the way back to the eighteen
yard line, loss of five, first sack since the season
opener for Uliano and the Beyson defense was able to
hold from there and force a field goal which was
good from thirty six yards out, and Suluki's taken.

Speaker 2 (02:27:50):
Early three to nothing lead.

Speaker 3 (02:27:52):
It wouldn't last for long, though, And when I say that,
I mean it lasted until the first play for NDSU.
As Dan Larson the off, it's a coordinator for the
hurd dialed of a play to get his playmaker the
ball right away. Cole Payton in the shotgun Maririka Penu
to his left. Cole calls for Bryce in motion and
hands to Bryce on a jet. Sweet cuts it up
Bald with a thirty wheeling back inside of the courting.

(02:28:14):
There he goes a crossmanfield. He might go all the way,
he'd sign the twenty five the ten touchdown right out
of the gate, brycelands seventy five yards chat sweet touchdown
Bison the inn. THESU grabs a lead six to three
year in the opening corner seventy five yards and virtually untouched,

(02:28:38):
even had Cole Payton out there leading the way with
the blocking down the field, fourth touchdown of the season
for Bryce's first rushing touchdown since last September against Etsu
seven nothing NDSU After the pat both teams will go
three and out on their second possession of the game.

Speaker 2 (02:28:53):
Then Styu would get the ball back near midfield.

Speaker 3 (02:28:56):
He's a sixth play drive and a Jaquis Alexander holding
penalty to help them move the ball down inside the
Bison five yard line, and Chandler Chapman would get a
five yard rushing touchdown for SIU.

Speaker 2 (02:29:05):
They take the lead at that point ten to seven.

Speaker 3 (02:29:08):
The Bison would move the ball in their ensuing drive,
but they'd stall it around midfield and forced to punt
pitting the Sulukis back inside their tenant looking for a
big play from their defense. After a DJ Williams scramble
that picked up a first down on a third and six.
Colgreen was looking for those big plays and they finally
got him.

Speaker 2 (02:29:24):
First.

Speaker 3 (02:29:24):
Logan cop got a run flitz and got into the
back to slow down Chapman and stop him for no
gain on a first down run. And then it was
the defensive line on second down collapse in the pocket
around DJ Williams. Second down ten Ago a running back
on eigh their hip of Williams washed to his right,
Davis to his left, snap to Williams, four man rush,
Williams under.

Speaker 2 (02:29:45):
Pressor Williams is sacked again. Down he goes fifth down
inside the fifth ten yard line.

Speaker 3 (02:29:53):
Logan Marsen got to him, Kadan Wilson as well a
Bison sack and it's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (02:29:59):
A third down at seventeen.

Speaker 3 (02:30:02):
Keenan Wilson, Logan Lars on the defensive tackles, combining for
that sack and getting the Benison off the field defensively,
ANDSU would take over on their own thirty eight. They
gained twenty six yards on a Cole Payton Dorajah Nelson
pass and then fourteen yards on a Marika Pendu run.
Getting into Suluki territory, An Siu did stiffen. They forced
an incompletion on third and eighth, and then Issue settled

(02:30:22):
for a thirty eight yard field goal from Eli Josic
then tied up the contest at ten apiece. So then
Illinois moved the ball don on their ensuing John got
down to the Beson red zone and on a third
and ten DJ Williams tried to pick up the first
of his feet, once again scrambling. By this time Code
Green turned the tables on the DJ one eighteen remaining
in the first half. Miles Marshall tight end flanker out

(02:30:46):
to the left along with j Jones cher receivers right,
McCray and Davis. Here's the snap blitz his on Williams
under pressure bag got knocked Fray, Isaac got the ball,
ball got knocked free the Pyson habit Kayden Wilson knocked
it out. Toby and nine recovered and the Bison takeover
what thirteen remain. Another massive play from Keenan Williams there

(02:31:10):
in the backfield, forcing the fumble, Toby and A and
A on the recovery, and that changed the energy here
inside the Foreg Dome. After that, Rika Pennu five yard
run in completion. Duran Jah now someone then Cole Peyton
picked up the first with his legs to keep that
drive going for NDSU, and then Cole Payton really zeroed
in on his favorite target, number five, Bryce Lance down
the sideline for forty eight yard completion, got the ball

(02:31:33):
to the SIU nine. And then on the very next
play with SAU maybe a little gas getting down the field,
it was that nine to five connection that would be
set up once again for six first and goal with
the nine. Peyton clapped for the ball play fake Fayne route,
looking up, it's on the left side. It's caught touchdown
Bison nine to five. Back to back throws col Peyton,

(02:31:58):
a Bryce Lance touchdown and hit a blank. They go
down the field and grab the league. Sixteen to ten

Speaker 3 (02:40:40):
Welcome back to Gate City Bank Field inside the Pargo Dome,
about to start the second half of play as the
Bison leads Southern Illinois seventeen to ten on the Coaches
Choice scoreboard. Glad that's here with us along with Phil
Hanson and no again do or find Sam Niederman. The
Bison lead by seven coming out of the breakfill big turnover,
quick score, and that's the difference right now for NDSU

(02:41:02):
going in the second half.

Speaker 7 (02:41:03):
Yeah, just overall, the Bies and defense have to find
a way to get off the field on third downs.
It's just killing them. And time of possession here twenty
one to ten for Southern Illinois to eight point fifty
for INDISU. Twenty one minutes, ten seconds. Holy Kyle, they've
doubled us up in a little bit more. But I'm
looking forward to a good slabber knocker here coming out
the second half. I like all this contact and these

(02:41:25):
linemen smashing it up. It's great.

Speaker 3 (02:41:27):
Yeah, It's Missouri Valley football for sure. This is kind
of what we saw last week at Illinois State. Bizor
up by a score, had a big defensive stan Late
had to stop late in this one, and that was
a huge difference, even though time of possession and plays
all in favor.

Speaker 2 (02:41:43):
Of the opponent.

Speaker 3 (02:41:44):
Of course, the Bison were able to regain control in
the second half and they won.

Speaker 2 (02:41:47):
Thirty three to sixteen.

Speaker 3 (02:41:49):
At Illinois State, they laid by seven against Southern Illinois.
We're about set for the second half. Southern Illinois will
kick from right to left. Paul Halen comes up and
strikes it end over end, and Nelson lets it fly
over his head for a touchback. So here's a big
opening series of the second half for the Bison offense.
We heard from coach Paulisik talking with Noah going into

(02:42:11):
the halftime locker room. Want to sustain drives, want to
get first downs and give the defense a little bit
of a rest here to open up.

Speaker 2 (02:42:18):
The third quarter.

Speaker 7 (02:42:18):
They're gonna get their chance right now.

Speaker 3 (02:42:21):
He'll begin at their own twenty five. Bryce Lance two
touchdowns of the first half, absolutely spectacular.

Speaker 2 (02:42:27):
He is wide to the right.

Speaker 3 (02:42:29):
Vin Diggins wing right Greese Kessel wing left. MKAYK Collins
is a flanker wide left. Cole Payton the quarterback, with
Berrika Penru the running back directly behind him. First play
up the second half, Bison by seven, first and ten
at their own twenty five snap to Peyton, give to
Berrika running right side, and Brika is stopped in the

(02:42:50):
backfield back in the twenty four yard line, loss of one.
Vinnie Pierre Junior, the safety came up and had the hit,
and the byes will be behind the sticks for second
down and long.

Speaker 8 (02:43:00):
And just a little bit of anexperience on the offensive
line show in there. It just seemed like two polling
offensive linemen for the Byson, you know, end up blocking
the same guy and then you have a guy running
three off the edge. So just miscommunication there and those
things just have to get smoothed out.

Speaker 3 (02:43:15):
Second down eleven, Bison owned twenty four. Lance and Nelson
left Diggins in motion of the right slot with Williams
in the boundary right. Here's a snap to Payton, another
handoff to Brika running it back and he is tackled across.

Speaker 2 (02:43:27):
The line of scribbage to twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (02:43:29):
Donnie gun Gate transfer from lynden Wood made the tackle
at defensive end the gate of four on the play,
it'll be third down and seven as we approached fourteen
minutes to play in.

Speaker 2 (02:43:39):
The third quarter.

Speaker 7 (02:43:42):
Big third down. I mean if they first down, this
isn't manageble. They should be able to get.

Speaker 3 (02:43:48):
This Bison one for four on third down in the
first half, third and seven owned twenty eight Williams, Nelson
and Kessel the receivers. Left, Lance the man of the boundary, right,
Rika the running back. Here's the snap to Peyton back
to pass fires left side, Hatch over the topest Cart
down the middle on the field. Rece Castle, the tight end,

(02:44:09):
said right down Broadway all the way down the twenty
two yard line of Southern Illinois gate of fifty on
the play first down into su.

Speaker 7 (02:44:19):
Oh, I know what take that one.

Speaker 2 (02:44:22):
Not much to say there. That's speed that I never
had out of the tight position.

Speaker 3 (02:44:27):
Then they go hurry up now from the twenty two
hand on Barrika and he is down inside the twenty
yard line to about the eighteen or so gate of two.
It'll be second down today and reach Kessel. He just
continues to make big plays in the passing game. His
seventh catch of the year one hundred and ninety one yards,
a big time average for the young man out of

(02:44:51):
Fargo South High School. Bison will summon a new offensive lineman.
Nate Stecklock comes in. Josh Magan comes out.

Speaker 2 (02:44:58):
It's like a shoot, little aching up.

Speaker 7 (02:45:00):
Yeah, I think it's just a shoot.

Speaker 2 (02:45:02):
I think it's it's down on the sideline.

Speaker 3 (02:45:04):
So Schneploth that right guard, Griffin Eppi to right tackle
on second down and six handoff DJ Scott behind blocking
inside the fifteen Cunning his way down to about the
twelve yard line, gain them six out of the play
right near the line to Gay. It'll depend on the
spot and it'll be third down and a very very
short yard. They line up under center for third and inches.

(02:45:27):
Peyton a quarterback, sneak. Peyton's got the first down. It
looks like to about the eleven yard line, it'll be
first down Buison. Now Maggot's okay. He trusts back out
on the field. Snetloff comes back to the backs.

Speaker 8 (02:45:41):
And going back to that long pass to Rees. I mean,
that's just a phenomenal use of his skill set. You know,
Southern Illinois runs that cover two defense with two deep
safeties that get really wide and you just kind of
leave your middle linebacker there out on an island with
anyone running deep down the middle. And that's a matchup
with Threese Castle that they really like.

Speaker 3 (02:46:00):
Bison to the case. I h red zone first down
gold to go ball at the right hash ten yard line.
I formation Scott in the tailback with whar myron motion
fake by Peyton.

Speaker 2 (02:46:09):
He throws over on the.

Speaker 3 (02:46:10):
Right side, caught by Diggings trying to break his way
towards the goal line, and he's tackled out of bounds
inside the three down to about the two, calling a
gain of eight.

Speaker 2 (02:46:21):
It'll be second down a goal. As they got the
ball to Finn Diggins.

Speaker 7 (02:46:26):
That's what's called ankle break breaker. Defensive end came in there,
didn't know where the ball was and he chose the
wrong guy and had to redirect it like he screwed
himself into the ground.

Speaker 3 (02:46:38):
Bison knocking on the door to try and make it
a two score game. Second down a goal at the
two yard line. Lance soloed out to the left loaded
line with three tight ends Barrika right. Here's a snaps
of Peyton rowing left looking looking now he'll try and
run cutting inside. He he's got the in zone touchdown Bison.

(02:47:00):
He went back to throw, rolled out to us right.
He was looking to throw and then deciding to tuck
and ron. He takes it in himself. Two yard rushing touchdown,
his fourth of the year, and the Bison are out
in front by two scores early in the second half
twenty three to ten. Injured Bison on the play, Finn

(02:47:24):
Diggins a little slow to come off the field. He
is being helped up by Chris Harrison. Ryan Neppley Buys
an assistant strength coach out there.

Speaker 7 (02:47:34):
I really liked that play by Cole Payton. I mean,
he's got two receivers he can go to, or he
can always pull it down and run it, and it's
the safest way as receivers are covered. Turn it up,
got some skills, gets it into the end zone. Lots
of options.

Speaker 2 (02:47:47):
Now the Bison will hit the or kick the extra point.

Speaker 3 (02:47:50):
After Finn Diggins came off, Biggerton to hold and Bowers
to snap, snap and spot Oasick.

Speaker 2 (02:47:57):
With the kick gets up and it is good.

Speaker 3 (02:48:00):
Come out and do exactly what the doctor ordered to
begin half number two, a touchdown run by Cole Payton.
CAP's off at eight place, seventy five yard drive and
the Bison late at twenty four to ten on the

Score to start a second half. Exactly what it is
he was looking for. And now they'll kick off from
left to right.

Speaker 7 (02:50:58):
Eis it. Are doing well here as a team. But
this is the part of the game where I just
really think they need to improve. Is just the Bison
need to find a way to get off the field,
and get off the field between here and the fifty
yards I'm not down here at the goal line.

Speaker 3 (02:51:11):
Southern Illinois first possession of the second half from their
own twenty five play action, Williams throws right. He's got
a man open over the top, cup by Davis on
the forty yard line and out of bounds into Bison
territory at about the thirty four yard line.

Speaker 2 (02:51:25):
They had been looking for Vincent Davis all afternoon.

Speaker 3 (02:51:28):
They finally find him for a big hitter forty one
yards and a first down for the sulukis.

Speaker 7 (02:51:33):
Well, he's not very big, but man is he fast.

Speaker 3 (02:51:36):
Yeah, five foot eight and he's a leading receiver in
the valley coming into today, over five hundred yards on
the season. Now from the Bison thirty five, Williams to throw,
trying to find Davis incomplete, trying to connect with him
on the slant route. Ball is knocked away by Donovan
Woollen and coverage the former high school corner now of
the Bison linebacker and it'll be second down to ten.

(02:52:01):
He trying to go, hurry up, Bison, We're ready for it.

Speaker 2 (02:52:03):
Now.

Speaker 3 (02:52:03):
They go from the thirty five yard line, second and ten,
twins on either side of the line. Williams and the
shotgun takes the snap, screens it right cut by Jones,
has a block to the thirty and he is tackled
by Duffy. Ball came out in the last second and
the official safe Bison ball bis.

Speaker 2 (02:52:20):
It got the recovery. Jones coughed it up and the
Bison come away with the Jackson. Dude nepper as the ball.
How did that happen?

Speaker 3 (02:52:30):
Another fumble by the Sulukis and the recovery by the Bison.
They'll take over, leading by two scores, ten to twenty
remaining of the third.

Speaker 7 (02:52:39):
Just a simple outpass. Guy gets the ball, tries to
run after the catch, but the official says it's out too.
The coaches on salute it was on the Sluki sidelines,
they're complaining this. I no, no, no, no, we didn't
see anything up here, but by the fans with haatside
thought it was out.

Speaker 3 (02:52:58):
Nick Hill was still talking with the official media. All
the bids are lining up on the ball. There's nobody
out there for the Seluki defense. And I think they're
gonna stop and take a look at this out of review.

Speaker 8 (02:53:11):
From the replay they showed in the dome, you really
can't see anything. So unless they have some other angle
that can tell them a little bit more, I would
imagine that this one's gonna stand just how it is.

Speaker 2 (02:53:21):
Well, now both.

Speaker 3 (02:53:22):
Teams are sitting there, they're guys back out on the field.
The bys are gonna snap this and I don't think
they're going to review it. They're looking at another replay
on the video board.

Speaker 7 (02:53:29):
Yeah, it's all.

Speaker 3 (02:53:32):
Bison with another takeaway Jackson dune effort with the recovery.

Speaker 2 (02:53:36):
Jones just coughed it up.

Speaker 3 (02:53:37):
Nobody forced it ball at the twenty six first and
ten and they gave up the middle to or excuse
me and around to Ron John Nelson Nelson five, Sully
mark her down.

Speaker 7 (02:53:49):
That is not a hole. If she calls a hold,
she's wrong. That is not a hole. That player.

Speaker 2 (02:53:57):
That Yeah, that's a hole.

Speaker 7 (02:54:00):
That's the worst call today. Easily watch the exact same
thing you're looking at.

Speaker 3 (02:54:05):
Gabby Martinez. A line judges through the flag and she
relays a call to Carl Chapman.

Speaker 2 (02:54:10):
You're it is for holding up. He'll play.

Speaker 3 (02:54:15):
They pick it up and so it'll be a good
gain from the Bison, first down gain and they'll move
the chains out to the thirty six yard line. Oh, ten,
twelve or many of the third quarter. Bison just got
a turnover. Jackson Dudon e her fumble recovery and now

(02:54:38):
first down and ten own thirty six yard line. Kessel
in motion from right to left, knee high snap to Peyton,
a little swing pass left cop by Scott at Scott
has tackled down.

Speaker 2 (02:54:49):
At about the forty one yard line. CJ.

Speaker 3 (02:54:51):
Parson made the tackle coming up from safety. Five yard
gain on the play, and it'll be second down and five.

Speaker 7 (02:55:00):
Look like they have the Bison offense anyway. Look like
they've got a little more springing their stuff than Southern Illinois.
I don't know. Maybe they're getting Southern always getting a
little tired here, but they shouldn't be. They've been on
the field that much.

Speaker 2 (02:55:12):
Time of possession at twenty one minutes for Southern Illinois.

Speaker 3 (02:55:15):
Just in our thirteen minutes for the Bison second and
five Bison forty one yard line. Peyton with raj On
to his left, DJ Scott to his right, two receivers
right and Lance the receiver left handoff. Scott runs up
the middle and is able to take it down inside
the thirty five yard line right before the thirty four
which is the line to gain. I believe they're gonna

(02:55:36):
mark um short. They will by just a half yard
and it'll be third down and a half yard with
nine minutes to play in the third quarter, Bison lineup
on the ball quickly Peyton under center. Peyton takes a
snap quarterback sneap and he dives forward. He's got that
line to Gay and at the thirty four yard line.
That's gonna be a first down for NDSU.

Speaker 2 (02:55:57):
Pretty big asset for the Bison to have there.

Speaker 8 (02:55:59):
I mean, Hole is a big, big, strong, physical quarterback
that if you have a yard or even less than that,
you should feel extremely confident that he can pick.

Speaker 1 (02:56:08):
That up with his legs.

Speaker 3 (02:56:09):
Just like that, he gets the job done. Bison continue
to move. They've had the ball for the majority of
this third quarter. Under eight and a half for mating
in the third Bison twenty four Southern Illinois ten, first
down in ten and the Bison forty seven Lance the
receiver left, Nelson to the slot right, Williams the wide man, right,
tight end right, and Kessel. Here's a snap in the

(02:56:31):
game to DJ Scott reverse back to Williams. Williams running
left side across midfield that he has tackled on a
perimeter by Parson after a gain of just three. Bison
tried to go with the reverse. Southern Illinois was ready
for it. It'll be second down and seven.

Speaker 7 (02:56:46):
They were ready for it, and they stopped it. But
you know what, it's gonna keep him honest. It's gonna
make him play on us the rest of the game,
not cheat.

Speaker 3 (02:56:55):
Second down and seven, with the ball resting at midfield
seven four one down in the third quarter, Bison leaded
by fourteen.

Speaker 2 (02:57:03):
They break the huddle from left to right.

Speaker 3 (02:57:05):
As you listen, Harris the flanker left, tight end left,
Cayden zen Zen tight end right, Truman Wermeier flanker right
is Bryce Lance, single back, Rika Penu snapping gif Perika
running up the middle and not much for him.

Speaker 2 (02:57:17):
He gets gubled up.

Speaker 3 (02:57:18):
A bunch of Suluki's got him back at the forty
nine for a loss of one, and that will leave
the Bison with a big time third down and six.

Speaker 7 (02:57:25):
That was really good Sluki defense. Everybody showed up at
the ball. There was no place for Brika to go.

Speaker 3 (02:57:31):
Peyton Reeves getting in there on the tackle, the big
three hundred and five pound defensive tackle. Now third down
at eight. Bison are four out of seven on third
down so far this afternoon, and they have been perfect
on third down in the second half. Ball at the
forty nine of NDSU third down and eight, Peyton and

(02:57:51):
the gun Owen Johnson there was running back to his left.
Here's a low snap to Peyton's four man or rush.
Peyton back's a.

Speaker 2 (02:57:58):
Throw, pumps in fire, It's caught by Taxon.

Speaker 3 (02:58:01):
Williams bending back to the forty five, breaks a tackle,
but then gets knocked down to the.

Speaker 2 (02:58:06):
Forty yard line. Out to the forty one. He's gotten
the first down.

Speaker 3 (02:58:10):
Jackson Williams with the catch and the Bison moved the
sticks Omaha to Omaha.

Speaker 2 (02:58:16):
Paul Peyton and Jackson Williams connect for the first.

Speaker 7 (02:58:19):
A lot of Southern Illinois, especially linebackers defensive backs shaking
their heads.

Speaker 8 (02:58:25):
I'm sure when Jackson started running back, it's there. Everyone
was kind of saying no, no, no, go forward.

Speaker 2 (02:58:31):
But he was a right back across and pick up
the first down. Yeah, let's going to east and west
for a little bit.

Speaker 3 (02:58:37):
But then he was able to get in the first
six to Ozho five to go at Tiger first down
from the Bison first and ten Southern Illinois forty one
yard line out of the eye with two tight ends,
one either side.

Speaker 2 (02:58:47):
Zen Zen on the right, Kessel on the left. Flanker
right is Collins.

Speaker 3 (02:58:52):
Wermeier is the fullback in motion hand off to Owen
Johnson starting right, cutting back left, breaks a tackler two
and then is wrapped up before the forty one yard line,
pretty much right at the light of scrimmage.

Speaker 2 (02:59:05):
And there'll be no gain on the place. Second down
at ten coming up.

Speaker 7 (02:59:09):
Last play, Southern d I substitute at all four defensive
linemen up front, so they are fresh. Sure they learned
that from us, but they did it well. That's the
right thing to do.

Speaker 2 (02:59:20):
Now they keep summon them in.

Speaker 3 (02:59:22):
Bison are content to let the clock wind down five
eighteen remaining.

Speaker 2 (02:59:26):
Third quarter, twenty four to ten.

Speaker 3 (02:59:28):
Good guys, second in ten Bison at the Saluki forty
one yard line. Kessel tight end right, Williams in motion
from left to right, two receivers left from Lance and
Nelson on second down and ten at the forty one
exaggerating playfake by paying under pressure. Now he steps up
and runs to the forty thirty five thirty inside the
number one twenty five twenty Perry Beckle fifteen to ten.

(02:59:49):
He's got the agle bet sign the five fairy goes touchdown.

Speaker 2 (02:59:55):
Bison col p put it show forty one.

Speaker 3 (03:00:02):
Yards to the house, touchdown at the NSU and it's
all Bison here in the third quarter thirty to ten,
good guys, four fifty one to go.

Speaker 1 (03:00:12):
To the third.

Speaker 7 (03:00:13):
When cole Paid started running, was there anyone in this
box who thought he would end up with a touchdown?
Be honest, Noah, I don't know. I guess there's always
a chance on speed like that. I saw three guys
that had the angle on him, and then he get
a hand on him.

Speaker 2 (03:00:31):
Eliosik with the extra point. I was crazy.

Speaker 3 (03:00:34):
He's like an Indy car just singing, and Zaggy threw
those turns and then next thing you know, he left
him all in the wake. Forty one yards thirty one
to ten in DSU the Bison.

Speaker 2 (03:00:47):
With fourteen in a row.

Speaker 3 (03:00:49):

(03:03:27):
We're right there to make the play. Great coverage by
dysu is that will style. That would be Preston Brown,
freshman quarterback, the freshman quarterback on kick cover.

Speaker 7 (03:03:43):
Quarterbacks they can't tackle.

Speaker 2 (03:03:46):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (03:03:47):
He's a quarterback.

Speaker 2 (03:03:48):
He's a quarterback.

Speaker 8 (03:03:49):
Normally, when quarterbacks are tackling, you have a problem ye
called an interception.

Speaker 2 (03:03:52):
Well, I like that one want to play.

Speaker 7 (03:03:55):
You might have to move him to the other side
of the.

Speaker 3 (03:03:57):
Ball, Old James Hendricks, Yeah, high your path maybe well
now Southern Illinois pinted signs own ten first down run
Chandler Chapman up to about the fifteen yard line to
give him some breathing real six yard gay Yeah. Preston Brown,
true freshman quarterback who's playing on three different special teams
units for the Bison. Four twenty six. Winding down the

(03:04:23):
third quarter. Here's second down and four from the fifteen.
Williams running up the middle, escapes one tackler and then
dives across the twenty yard line to the twenty one
gain of about six first down for India or for
Southern Illinois. Moving from right to left, empty backfield. Now

(03:04:45):
two receivers left, three on the right. Williams claps for
the ball, takes the snap, throws in cut incomplete, looking
for mc cray, but he's being covered pretty tight by
the Bison, and a few flags come in. It's like
it's gonna be pass interference on a DSU. Carl Chapman,

(03:05:08):
the official with.

Speaker 49 (03:05:10):
The Hurts defense number zero spot Paul automatic first down, it's.

Speaker 3 (03:05:16):
On Jakes Alexander again. That'll be an automatic first down.

Speaker 2 (03:05:19):
For the Sulukies.

Speaker 7 (03:05:24):
Yeah, he was their.

Speaker 2 (03:05:27):
Thirty one ten buns and all of a sudden the
twenty one point lead. It was ten to ten.

Speaker 3 (03:05:33):
Nearing the end of the first half. Bison I've scored
twenty one unanswered. Here's first down in ten South Illinois
thirty yard line. Williams takes his snap, throws a crossing pattern.
Mccraig gets knocked down.

Speaker 2 (03:05:46):
Good tackle by.

Speaker 3 (03:05:47):
Donovan Woolan, who came in there to drop him.

Speaker 2 (03:05:49):
At the thirty two yard line. Only a gain of
two and it'll be second down and eight.

Speaker 7 (03:05:56):
Good tackle. Those are tough in the open fly ben
when the guy doesn't see you coming.

Speaker 2 (03:06:02):
Just second and eight out of thirty two.

Speaker 3 (03:06:06):
Williams back to pass, throws across his body, caught by
j Jones, sliding down to the forty six yard line.

Speaker 2 (03:06:13):
Fourteen yard pickup, first down, Silukis. They continue to move.

Speaker 3 (03:06:17):
This drive started at their own nine and now they'll
go no huddle. Three to sixteen remaining of the third
quarter binds it by twenty one. Twin receivers either side.
Belt Hi snapped to Williams hand off to Edward Robinson
across midfield slammed down by Darius Gibbons at the forty two,
big collision, not before a first down.

Speaker 2 (03:06:36):
It will be a gain of thirteen on the play
officially to the forty one.

Speaker 49 (03:06:41):
Holding offense number fifty nine, ten yard penalty brief play.

Speaker 7 (03:06:46):
First down.

Speaker 2 (03:06:47):
Our penalty marker was down holding. We'll bring him back.

Speaker 3 (03:07:07):
So now the ball back to the Southern Illinois forty
two yard line. Three minutes winding down, you're in the
third quarter, and now whistles, let's see what this is
all about his play.

Speaker 49 (03:07:18):
He's under further review for potential targeting.

Speaker 3 (03:07:23):
So they're gonna review it for targeting, even though it
was a holding call that would have negated the run.
But of course they're trying to make sure targeting is
enforced even on the collision.

Speaker 7 (03:07:32):
That's a big hit. At the end, I thought Darius
took the best brunt of it.

Speaker 3 (03:07:40):
Could they be looking at this for Robinson leading with
his helmet the ball carrier instead of Darius.

Speaker 2 (03:07:45):
Yeah, I kind of looked more like he was the
one he was tucking.

Speaker 7 (03:07:48):
Yeah, okay, if you're gonna who we're gonna call that
on number one And then Okay, if you do call
it on INDISUF it was helmet to helmet. Yeah, maybe
he dropped his head as much as the defender you did.
I mean, what is he supposed to do? Tell me
how to do that differently.

Speaker 8 (03:08:05):
That's just a football play and they're both going a
million miles an hour. You can't really expect either one
of them to do anything much different in that instance.

Speaker 3 (03:08:13):
Right, No, I agree, Yeah, just a collision Darius coming
up from safety, and I'd say both players are just
fine looking at it right now on the nearer sideline.

(03:08:34):
with the Hornbockers app or at Hornbockers dot Com Hornbocker's
Freshness and Quality. Since nineteen fifty one, they're still talking
about this on the near sideline.

Speaker 8 (03:08:55):
And to me, if it takes this long to determine
if it's targeting or not, it's probably not. You know,
I think it needs to be pretty clear.

Speaker 3 (03:09:01):
Yeah, now he's communicating again with the replay officials, Carl
Chapman and our referee down on the field. First Western

team you can trust. It's how they've served their local

Speaker 49 (03:09:33):
Do you number twenty nine of the defense committed targeting
with the crown of the helmet?

Speaker 2 (03:09:39):
He will be ejected in the rest of the game.

Speaker 49 (03:09:42):
That Patty will offset with a holding every first down
from the previous spot.

Speaker 7 (03:09:47):
All right, I'm fuman. I'll tell you what. I got
a laundry list of things that are wrong with college football,
and that one's right up near the top. That is
crowd straight crop. I'd like to say some other words too,
but I'll still operate.

Speaker 64 (03:10:00):
There.

Speaker 3 (03:10:03):
Go Lee, and I believe that will put him up
for the next week half the upsweek's game. So Darius
Gibbons ejected for targeting out the rest of this game,
and he would be suspended for the first half of
the next week's game at Indiana State.

Speaker 2 (03:10:20):
That is a tough break for the Bison and Darius.
You hate to see that. So now Ryan Jones will
sum in for him.

Speaker 3 (03:10:26):
Two fifty four, winding down, third quarter, first and ten
Southern Illinois forty six yard line. Williams back to throw
fires over the middle incomplete up looking for Fabian McCrae
and Donovan Woollen right there with coverage from linebacker nice
played by the young man out of Frisco, Texas second
and ten.

Speaker 7 (03:10:43):
Boy, they've been coming to that play time and time again,
and Donovan Woollen seems like he's the guy raid in
the mix. Always has a really good coverage, so well
done in that player and others.

Speaker 2 (03:10:52):
Yeah, linebacker used to play corner in high school.

Speaker 3 (03:10:55):
From the forty six, Williams back to throw again under
pressure and again firing underneath complete trying to find Vincent Davis.
Bison brought the blitz. Logan Cop came in on touch.
Lams just had to throw it away for dear life.

Speaker 7 (03:11:09):
He did. He was thrown up his back foot. I
think Logan Kop, like I said, wasn't block coming in there.
So Bison finding new ways to put pressure on this quarterback,
throw him throw off his back foot and threw that
one right into the dirt thirty.

Speaker 3 (03:11:23):
One to ten Bison two forty two remaining of the
third quarter, Southern Illinois at their own forty.

Speaker 2 (03:11:29):
Six yard line.

Speaker 3 (03:11:30):
Three receivers left a tight end right and Quin Williams
motions McCrae left to right, takes the bill.

Speaker 2 (03:11:36):
Heistan Blitzer comes in in he is wrapped up back
in the thirty his sacked. Victor Isley come on down.

Speaker 3 (03:11:45):
Another Bison sacked pressure came in from Wooling and then
Isley wrapped him up to finish it off.

Speaker 2 (03:11:52):
Bison with the sack that they forced. The Southern Illinois puns.

Speaker 7 (03:11:56):
Good job, Donovan Wollen, He's got a knack for timing
that up. Just not play. He should have had to
sock missed it. But Eziley cleaned.

Speaker 2 (03:12:03):
Up another Northern bag and box. Sack four in the
bois in Northern bag and box. The proof is in
the package.

Speaker 3 (03:12:11):
Third one in the game and the Bison force the
p Paul Haln will be ready to boot it away
high step and he gets it off almost a chance returnable.

Speaker 2 (03:12:21):
Jackson Williams will call spare catch and the twenty.

Speaker 3 (03:12:24):
Five I thought he had a chance to Bison will
take over there one fifty five of the third quarter.

At the yard line.

Speaker 3 (03:15:01):
Officials quickly go in there to break up any contacted
after the fact. Nice throw on the rollout though to Brice.
Fourteen yard game and then a first.

Speaker 2 (03:15:08):
Down for a DSU.

Speaker 3 (03:15:15):
So it'll go down as fifteen yards down to the
forty and the Bison are well in command. This was
a ten to ten game with Southern Illinois driving inside
the red zone late first half. Then the Bison forced
to fumble and recovered, went down, scored quickly right before half.
They've scored fourteen unanswered here in the third quarter as well.

(03:15:36):
Hand off Rica on first down. He's got a couple
out to the forty three, gain of three, and it'll
be second down and seven. Sam Niederman, Phil Hanson with

remaining of the third quarter. Second and seven for the
Bison at their own forty three, and Perika runs up
the middle and Rika stood up around the forty five

third down and five. As we approach the final seconds
of this third quarter, Bison do not have to run

twenty nine.

The Buys are gonna.

one to ten, Bison. The game has flipped on its head.
It was ten to ten with Southern Illinois driving in

(03:20:15):
the red zone. Then the Bison got a fumble, recovery,
drove down, scored quick at the end of the first half,
Bryce Lance a big catch for a touchdown, and Cole
Payton with a pair of rushing touchdowns in the third
quarter to extend the lead to three scores.

Speaker 2 (03:20:28):
That's the difference thirty one ten.

Speaker 3 (03:20:31):
Good guys, As we begin here in the quarter number four,
third and five, Buyson own forty five, Peyton in a
tight pocket, dumps it off to Barika across midfield, breaks
and tackle down the sideline tyropeing thirty.

Speaker 2 (03:20:42):
It's sign A twenty.

Speaker 3 (03:20:43):
Five pushing his way in sign the ten into the
end zone, but they whistle him.

Speaker 2 (03:20:48):
Out at the twenty yard line.

Speaker 7 (03:20:53):
His power is just incredible to pull away from a
arm tackle and then even the guy thought for sure
I got him. He pushed out of bounds.

Speaker 2 (03:21:01):
He barely stepped out the sidelines, barely, he got pushed.

Speaker 3 (03:21:05):
He broke one tackle and stayed alive and then got
pushed and then they marked him out of the nineteen.

Speaker 2 (03:21:12):
I great, balanced, thirty six yard game.

Speaker 7 (03:21:15):
I did not see that kind of power out of
Brica last year. These last couple of games have been
really I've really I've watched that. It's been really good.
And these are both good teams to be played. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:21:25):
Great, fine by calling a check down from the nineteen
first down and ten hand off Rika bouncing to the
pile of the fifteen yard line and then down to
the twelve. Good carry, seven yard gain from the bids
and running back the west Fargo Nate A Brika Penu
and it'll be second down.

Speaker 2 (03:21:42):
And a short three coming up. Fourteen minutes remaining, and.

Speaker 8 (03:21:46):
Just another play there where linebacker had him dead to
rights in the hole and just a really snappy jump
cut there from Rika. Just I mean that the speed
and power combination we're seeing from him.

Speaker 2 (03:21:56):
He's just a complete back this year. It's really cool
to see.

Speaker 3 (03:22:00):
So far on the game he has got fifty yards
on the ground on thirteen carries and the Cats right
there that went.

Speaker 2 (03:22:08):
For thirty six as well.

Speaker 3 (03:22:11):
From the thirteen yard line hand off, Rica again running
left side, doesn't have much. He is stacked up near
the ten. That's the line the gains at nine. It's
gonna be third down as short one. Let's see what
Dan Larson hans on the play call scene here on
the red zone ball just outside the ten yard line

(03:22:35):
is third down and one thirteen and change.

Speaker 2 (03:22:39):
Remaining of the game.

Speaker 8 (03:22:44):
I'm probably thinking four down territory here, so it could
maybe take a shot at the end zone here on
third down.

Speaker 3 (03:22:50):
Luke Cocat tight end left, Hayden's Enzen right Whermire the
pullback on third and one hand offf DJ Scott pounces
off a tacklers and breaks his way to the line
to gain He's on the eight yard line.

Speaker 2 (03:23:02):
Nicely done by DJ. Two yard carry, first down. Bison.

Speaker 7 (03:23:15):
Southern Illinois is losing their umph a little bit. I
mean they had them stopped initially. I just kept churning
and got the first down. But I mean those are
just depressant things for defenses, especially especially when you down
by score. They're down by here.

Speaker 3 (03:23:31):
Time of possession was twenty one to eight A. It's
twenty four nineteen here of the second half total first
and goal from the eight handoff DJ Scott, and he
is cut down at the six yard line. Eight of
two on the play, it will be second down a
goal A Byson just bilking out in this clock with
hunder twelve to play at a twenty one point lead,

(03:23:55):
they have scored twenty one unanswered.

Speaker 2 (03:23:57):
It's thirty one to ten.

Speaker 3 (03:24:06):
They clap and break the huddle, working on the end zone.
Two are left eleven thirty five, winding down of the game.
Second down a goal at the six. Peyton in the shotgun.
Chier receivers n one man right in Lance, snapping gift
to Rika inside the five and into the end zone
for the touchdown.

Speaker 2 (03:24:26):
Rica Petu and Bress Head rushing to ninth rushing touchdown
of the.

Speaker 3 (03:24:31):
Year, and the Bison have scored twenty seven unanswered six
yard rushing score for Rika thirty seven to Tad Bison
with eleven twenty three remaining.

Speaker 8 (03:24:48):
It's a dominating drive. More more of what we're used
to from NDSU. There, just pounded out on the ground
third down conversions. Really nice drive.

Speaker 3 (03:24:56):
Nine plays, seventy five yards, five thirty two off the clock.
I had a man chump for soun of Illinois Cameron
Miller on their pat defense unit.

Speaker 2 (03:25:09):
The penalty marker down.

Speaker 49 (03:25:11):
Oh side with contact defense number thirteen.

Speaker 2 (03:25:14):
After this, since retry.

Speaker 7 (03:25:18):

It's really interesting how Southern Noise started off and they
were kind of doing we said, they're doing what we do.
You know, they're controlling the ball over the ball and
now it's just kind of evolved and the second half
has been the Bison have got back to what they do.
And you always wonder what the impetus for something like
that is what starts right, You know, turnovers are begging
the game here. But but now the Bison are doing

(03:28:25):
what they do in Southern and ow is kind of
shut her down.

Speaker 2 (03:28:28):
Bison have scored twenty eight unanswered points.

fires left and it's incomplete.

Speaker 2 (03:29:15):
Butterfingers. Vincent Davis dropped.

Speaker 3 (03:29:17):
A little five yard hitch round at the thirty mina
burn footsteps at second down to ten.

Speaker 2 (03:29:29):
Bison. Starting to mix in some reserve players here on
the defense.

Speaker 3 (03:29:33):
Good eye there, Noah Peter Haugo and at linebacker Antoine
booth In at corner second and ten. Southern Illinois twenty
five run play Edward Robinson across at thirty and then dragged.

Speaker 2 (03:29:49):
Out at the thirty two yard line. Seven yard pickup.
It'll be third down.

Speaker 7 (03:29:54):
And three.

Speaker 2 (03:30:00):
Eleven minutes remaining Bison by twenty.

Speaker 3 (03:30:03):
Eight heres third and three at the thirty two Williams
takes a snap, buyers over the.

Speaker 2 (03:30:07):
Middle, intercepting.

Speaker 3 (03:30:08):
It's intercepting taken on the far side of the field,
buying the Bison. They pick up the interception, it's Oliver locked.
Oliver locks with the interception and he is being mombed
by his teammates.

Speaker 2 (03:30:23):
Coming to the far near sideline.

Speaker 3 (03:30:26):
The Fargo Davies kid with his first career interception.

Speaker 7 (03:30:36):
Really well done by Oliver. The receiver was actually open.
Quarterback was thrown right to the street. Oliver luck just
stepped right in front of it. Didn't see him at all,
but he had to kind of sky to get that ball.
Sole that's tough to catch away from your body like that.

Speaker 3 (03:30:50):
Good job, Oliver looks with the interception, the third takeaway
forced by the Bison in the game, and they take
over with ten to fifty one remaining, leading it by
twenty eight. First in ten and the southern thirty two
yard line play action, Peyton rolls to his left, buyers left.
It's caught buying a full back Truman Wermire barreling his

(03:31:11):
way down to the twenty two yard line. It'll be
the gain of what depends on the spot. Maybe nine
and a half, but could be ten.

Speaker 7 (03:31:21):
And now, now, why isn't that targeting that should be
reviewed for targeting too?

Speaker 2 (03:31:27):
I think absolutely that one should.

Speaker 7 (03:31:30):
And you know what, the targeter or the guy who
is coming into tackle, he got the worst end of it.

Speaker 2 (03:31:42):
They're calling it a nine and a half yard gain,
second down and a half.

Speaker 7 (03:31:45):
If they don't review this, I mean, it's so subjective
with this targeting thing. How can this not be reviewed?
I mean I saw it full speed and I thought
it and I saw it in the the replay, and.

Speaker 2 (03:32:00):
Well they're gonna write a not well review it.

Speaker 3 (03:32:03):
Bison lineup on second down and a half yard hand off.
Perika runs up the middle inside the twenty down to
the fifteen yard line. Eight of eight, an ACTECRA first
down for in dsu Now it injured Seluki is down.

(03:32:25):

Hopefully he'll be all right, and time out on the field.

Speaker 2 (03:33:22):
Play action.

Speaker 3 (03:33:22):
Peyton rolling to his right, tucking with the right arm.
It's a run play and he has dropped down back
of the twenty six yard line. Tried the old bootleg
and that was not going anywhere.

Speaker 2 (03:33:33):
A loss of eleven.

Speaker 7 (03:33:35):
Boy, I don't think that was a bootleg, but the
bootlegs have really worked well today, like hard flow bootleg
right you. I don't know what that was. Maybe somebody
made a mistake on that player.

Speaker 3 (03:33:46):
And now Cole Peayton will come out to the sideline
getting around to applause by the Bison fans. Nathan Hayes
comes in and he will play quarterback here on second
and nineteen. After the sack ball at the twenty four
Southern Illinois, he's in the shotgun. Two receivers left Lancer
receiver right hand off. DJ Scott stiff arming a couple

(03:34:07):
of guys around the corner inside the twenty fifteen to
ten by fort three two one touchdown DJ touchoun Bison
DJ Scott into the episode twenty four yard touchdown run
and the odd slaught keeps on going for the herd
forty four to ten, thirty four unanswered DJ Scott to

(03:34:30):
the house and the Bison continue to pound it on
Southern Illinois with eight fifty seven to go.

Speaker 7 (03:34:38):
That's interesting that little push they thought they'd be enough
to push him out and just power DJ Scott. We
saw earlier with Barrika. You know, going down the sidelines,
you better tackle. They're not gonna go out of bounce.

Speaker 3 (03:34:51):
Extra point by Oasick is good. Forty five to ten.
Bison with another touchdown thirty five in a row for
at DSU and they late it forty five eight fifty

of year.

Speaker 3 (03:37:28):
Right absolutely, Byason will kick off or right to left,
Oazick boots it and it's in the end zone for
a touchbag. All right, thirty five in a row, guys
by the Bison. I mean you peel we were talking
about and then this was ten to ten with Son
of Illinois. It'd signed the Bison twenty and then that
bumble the Buyson in the takeaway.

Speaker 2 (03:37:49):
They haven't looked back since.

Speaker 7 (03:37:51):
All right. It's just the game of turnovers. I mean,
I mean, it's always the most important thing to me,
but I mean it's just really evidence today that, I mean,
they make a huge difference in the game.

Speaker 3 (03:38:05):
Southern Illinois had the ball for four minutes in the
second half and they started the twenty five handoff. Chapman
breaks a tackle and makes his way forward to the
thirty one yard line and only marker is down on
the play. Or is maybe that a piece of bies
Equipment's a mouthpiece of pig your pardon mouthpiece by one
of the guys that they left on the ground looks

(03:38:26):
exactly like a flag six yard gain. Second and four
at the thirty one swing pass. Chapman one on one
of the perimeter breaks a tackle thirty five forty five
and then down inside the fifty buys a territory and
about the forty six yard line gain of twenty three
on the play for Chandler Chapman Man. The Slukies will
hurry up. They have done nothing offensively in this second half.

(03:38:49):
First down in ten, empty badfield, thirty receivers right, Marshall,
Chapman and Parker, two receivers left. Stamp to Williams Screenwright
and it's dropped by Chapman, picks it up because it
could have been a backwards pass.

Speaker 2 (03:39:03):
Incomplete the call and we'll be second to ten. Carl Chapman.

Speaker 3 (03:39:10):
The referee just said something that I could not make
out what he said. I think he's said incomplete now, Yeah,
I said it wasn't a backwards pass.

Speaker 2 (03:39:19):
That's what it was.

Speaker 64 (03:39:20):
No.

Speaker 3 (03:39:22):
Obald Nean cru into the game for the Bison defensive
tackle transfer from Iowa State, Big number ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (03:39:31):
See if he can make a play.

Speaker 3 (03:39:32):
Oliver Luck ten the interception earlier on second and ten
hand off Robinson.

Speaker 2 (03:39:36):
Robinson, bouncing outside of the forty yard.

Speaker 3 (03:39:38):
Line, swims inside of the defender and is wrapped up
on the farest side by Austin Altepeter at the thirty
six yard line. Gain of ten and another first down
for the selukis forty five to ten Bison. Here's first

(03:40:03):
intent at the Bison thirty six. Williams throws fader out
left side, back, shoulder and complete looking for day Jones,
and now a late flag comes in.

Speaker 2 (03:40:11):
Flag on Aca. You're gonna get him for past interference.

Speaker 7 (03:40:15):
It looks like he's kind of hoping they'd let that go,
but I think it was probably just too much. Yeah,
pulled them down.

Speaker 49 (03:40:24):
Pass interferens defense number twenty four, fifteen yards automatic horse.

Speaker 3 (03:40:29):
Down here it is on Aca, so it'll be first
down at the twenty one of NDSU seven.

Speaker 2 (03:40:35):
Thirty remaining in the fourth quarter. Bison lead forty five
to ten.

Speaker 7 (03:40:41):
Yeah, he had a pretty good handful of jersey there.

Speaker 3 (03:40:47):
Robinson is the running back with Williams and the gun
Marshall tight end left, Jones, Davis and Parker the receivers right.
First intent at the Bison twenty one snap to Williams,
throws underneath by Robinson out of the backfield and he
is twisted forward, passed the fifteen down to the fourteen
yard line, game of seven. On the play, second down

(03:41:10):
in three, two receivers right, Davison, Parker Jones, a solo
man left, second and three a thrill left for Jones
and incomplete and they're gonna get ACA once again he
was holding on to Jones. Two penalty markers thrown passing complete,

(03:41:33):
but another pass interference call upcoming on the Bison.

Speaker 7 (03:41:36):
Very much like the last play. He had a handful
of jersey again. Looked like a repeat performance.

Speaker 49 (03:41:48):
Pass interference defense number twenty four spotfall automatic course sound.

Speaker 2 (03:41:57):
ACA called for the PI.

Speaker 3 (03:42:00):
And the spot foul will make it first in gold
down in the Bison three yard line. Seven to two
to play and the Bison leaded forty five to ten.
Three receivers on the right. Robinson the running back off

(03:42:21):
the left tip of Williams. He motions out of the backfield.
Williams takes a snap, pikes the screen to him, runs
it left side and gets into the end zone before
the touchdown. DJ Williams with a three yard rushing touchdown
is tenth rushing score of the year, but far too little,
too late.

Speaker 2 (03:42:39):
That'll make it forty five to sixteen, with six fifty
eight remaining.

Speaker 3 (03:42:51):
Paul haling On for the extra point, caps off a
sixth place seventy five yard drive that took a minute fifth.

Speaker 2 (03:43:00):
Off the clock. Extra point is up and it is good.

Speaker 3 (03:43:08):
Forty five seventeen. Southern Illinois with its first points in forever.
They snapped the thirty five nothing run by the Bison,
and there's a time out on the field. Six fifty
eight remaining Bison forty five something in Illinois seventeen. This

Phil Hanson Here of the booth. They will get Dorff
down on the sidelines forty five seventeen Bison six point
fifty eight to play something. Illinois just scored three yard
touchdown by DJ Williams.

Speaker 7 (03:45:37):
Probably expected on side kicker.

Speaker 3 (03:45:39):
Now Bison have the check maybe hands team on loan
return man is rajar On Nelson back at the fifteen
yard line. Haalen will drive it deep though, and it
goes into the m zone for a touchback, so the
Bison will come back now. Cole Payton's day is done.
Thirteen out of sixteen, two hundred and forty three yard ards,

(03:46:00):
one touchdown through the air, forty eight yards rushing, and
two touchdowns on the ground, including a forty one yard
or earlier in this half. Just another remarkable performance. And
at this point he's again we talked about it coming in.
He's one of the best quarterbacks of the country, and
he's been playing as if he is the best one
in the country right now.

Speaker 7 (03:46:21):
There's I see nothing to give me any reason to
doubt that. Yeah, offensive line has been playing well, he's
got a good receiving corps, but you know, he's got
to be the one that manages all that, and he's
done a great job so far this year.

Speaker 3 (03:46:35):
Nathan Hayes takes the snap on first and ten, rolling
out to his right, fires and completes the Isayah Saint
Romain out of bounds on the forest side line of
the thirty yard thirty eight yard line, thirteen yard pitch
and catch Hayes to Saint Romain. They connected for a
touchdown at the Citadel in week one. So Nathan Hayes
ad quarterback for the Bison, six foot three to two

(03:46:58):
hundred and twenty pounds out of of West Chicago, Illinois.
He has the visor on Where's number twelve, same as
easton stick ball at the thirty eight first down and ten,
two receivers right, one man on the left, and off
to DJ Scott's stumbling forward down to about the forty
three yard line.

Speaker 7 (03:47:20):
There's some new offensive lineman in there. I think it's
some substitutions, pretty much wholesale substitutions.

Speaker 3 (03:47:29):
Yeah, Nate tossed out as a left tackle, and Gage
Schmidt is the center right now, Jack Lewinsky the left guard,
Nate schneckloff right guard, and the right tackle I can't
quite tell right tackle for mar vnsfoot give me a
second seventy eight that'd be Noah Stumps, Thanks Noah. Owen

(03:47:55):
Johnson the running back on second and five handoff OJ
and Ojay's got a little creepy us up to about
the forty eight yard line, gain of five and he
needed five and a first down for NDSU. So good
to see oj playing again. Owen Johnson, running back out
of man Cato, Minnesota, who was hurt all last year
covering from an acl that he tour midway through twenty twenty.

Speaker 7 (03:48:18):
Three sixty one. Gage Smith in there backup center Richer
freshman north man Cato.

Speaker 2 (03:48:32):
Five oh five to go, Bison lead forty five seventeen.

Speaker 3 (03:48:37):
And heyes under center at the forty eight yard line
on first down and ten handoff Johnson running left side
and he's forward into Suluki territory at about the forty
nine yard line gain of three. So next up for
the Bison going to terre Hate at India State next week.

Speaker 7 (03:48:55):
I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (03:48:57):
I've never been, never made the Noah, you never been,
I've never been. Wow to Terradise, I believe, like yes,
Terradise back in my home state. Huge federal prison there,
very big, one of the biggest of the country.

Speaker 7 (03:49:13):
Yeah, we're standing in Minneapolis, Yes we are.

Speaker 3 (03:49:17):
We get some Saint Elmo's and we'll be good to go.
Second and six, hand off up the middle. A nice
roud by Cortes, La grant the Minnesota transfer. That's a
good run by Cortes down to the thirty eight yard line,
gain of ten.

Speaker 2 (03:49:39):
And one.

Speaker 8 (03:49:39):
Thing worth kind of watching now, is you know, with
Ben Diiggin's going down today and Carson Williams was out
as well today. These these young tight ends, including Greece Castle,
Caden's en Zen, these guys are going to be relied upon,
you know, to play some really big snaps.

Speaker 2 (03:49:53):
Here going into you know, the heart of valley play.
It's it's something definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Speaker 3 (03:49:58):
Yeah, that's a really good point right now. Luke Cocat
in there as well. Kessel handed the dirt on the
left side of the line. Here's first intended to thirty eight.
Hayes back to throw, fires right complete logan conclent with
a nice catch, shopping the feet out of bounds right
near the line of the game. They give him the
twenty eight pitch and catch up ten first down Bison.

Speaker 7 (03:50:18):
And I'll go back to those tight ends. Isn't a
jets abel eighty five?

Speaker 3 (03:50:21):
He's a tight end, Yes, grazy brother's brother. Yeah, he's
on the team last year, now getting a chance to
play some more this year. Jacob Killzer has checked in
at wide receiver for the Bison, as has Kate Osterman.

(03:50:42):
Two tight ends on the left side of the line,
and the snap to Hayes on first down to ten,
handoff Johnson around the corner twenty five and then he
is taken down at the twenty three yard line, gain
of five on the play clock will continue to run
at the two forty four mark. Byson lead forty five
to seventeen. Yeah, so Indiana State. They lost to South

(03:51:03):
Dakota today. South Dakota has won a couple of games.
After the Bison took their lunch from him. I think
it was sixteen to ten nineteen thirteen.

Speaker 2 (03:51:14):
In nineteen thirteen, Okay.

Speaker 3 (03:51:17):
One score game, second down, five ball at the twenty
three of Southern Illinois play clock AP four, Hayes extends
the hands, takes the stap, gives to Owen Johnson, nowhere
to go unblocked, man wraps him up back at the
twenty eight yard line. He is tackled by Stephen Green,

(03:51:39):
backup linebacker, and that will bring us down to the
two minute timeout. Time out on the field. We will
take it as well. Forty five seventeen Bison two minutes
to play in Fargo. This is the pioneer seage Bison

Speaker 3 (03:53:00):
Welcome back to the pharo doome forty five to seventeen,
Bison two oh three remaining in the game. Southern Illinois
actually took a time out right before we would have
wound down to the two minute timeout.

Speaker 2 (03:53:11):
So it's third down and ten coming up here.

Speaker 3 (03:53:14):
Nick Hill seemingly wants to see if his team could
get a stop here and then maybe get the offense some.

Speaker 2 (03:53:20):
More reps, even though the game's already in hand.

Speaker 3 (03:53:24):
Bison laid it by twenty eight and Nathan Hayes in
that quarterback ball at the twenty eight of something Illinois
third down in ten the snap and a little run
pass option, they flip it into the left flat stumbling
catch made by Isaiah Saint Romain that he is down
to the eighteen yard line for a Bison first down.
Nice play by Isaiah Saint Romain out of Williston, North
Dakota gain of ten on the play. It'll be enough

(03:53:48):
to move the six for an act Tegra first down.
And the clock currently stopped at one fifty seven remaining.

Speaker 7 (03:53:57):
So now we got the two minute timeout.

Speaker 3 (03:54:00):
Is the two minute timeout and we will stay right here.
So I'm not exactly sure why Southern Illinois wanted to burn.
I mean, my only guess would be they want to
get their offense some more developmental reps.

Speaker 2 (03:54:11):
But they weren't able to make the stop there.

Speaker 7 (03:54:12):
So so what are we going to talk about? Sam?

Speaker 2 (03:54:15):
Well, let me hang on. I got to remind you
about a sponsor here real quick, and then we'll get
to that.

Speaker 7 (03:54:21):
I'd like to know what we got for time of
possession if that's worked its way out here.

Speaker 3 (03:54:25):
Yeah, I think we I think we might have lapped
them all that out really, yes, But would like to
remind you about dri fans, Dri helps the Bys and
succeed behind the scenes from the training room of the
dining room milk to medicine, iceed ice cream. DRI Refrigeration,
Mechanical and Electrical has been serving the Dakotas, Minnesota, and
Montana for.

Speaker 2 (03:54:44):
Over fifty years. DRI located at Fargo, Bismarck, may Not,
and Grand Forks.

Speaker 3 (03:54:50):
It was twenty one eight time of possession at the half,
but he is now twenty seven to twenty five.

Speaker 2 (03:54:56):
Who favorite of South Illinois.

Speaker 3 (03:54:57):
Oh so we're making up tripped it down all the
way to the last two minutes, and which I don't
believe we'll have.

Speaker 2 (03:55:03):
It for a couple more snaps here.

Speaker 7 (03:55:05):
I think of Cold Payton and I think in him
just waiting in the shadows the last couple of years.
I wonder what kind of offers he had, And I
mean he had to know that, or at least would
what wanted to know? Hey what cam Miller's gonna be here.
I'm his backup and I'm only gonna have one year
at the end, which we're watching right now. Thank you,
Cold Payton. But you know, you gotta think, man, I

(03:55:25):
could have went somewhere else and had three years of
something there. He chose to stay here. I mean, I
just can't emphasize that enough. That's a that's a big
deal to me and this Bison team and stuff. And
you know, I didn't. I'm sure he knew what his
potential was and but I didn't. I didn't realize he
could do everything he do. That run today, that forty
yard round, that was that was something special, that was different,

(03:55:48):
that was unique.

Speaker 23 (03:55:48):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (03:55:50):
There are a few NFL scouts down below us, and
I think they're gonna start taking some more interesting Number
nine two forty three through the year with a passing touchdown,
forty eight on the ground, with two more touchdowns, and
you've got to say he is a front runner for
the Walter Payton Award, given to the top player in
FCS one fifty seven to play after the two minute timeout,

(03:56:12):
forty five to seventeen Bison from the eighteen yard line,
handoff Cortes, Lagrant and Quartetes takes it down to the
eleven yard line, eight gain of seven.

Speaker 7 (03:56:22):
So you said he's a front runner for the Walter Payton.
Who's his competition?

Speaker 3 (03:56:26):
I mean around the country, Well, everybody was saying this
DJ Williams for Southern Illinois, but I think you eliminate
him from competition going head to head.

Speaker 7 (03:56:33):
I mean he's a good player.

Speaker 3 (03:56:34):
Oh, definitely, not nothing to disparage how he's played this year.
And then there's the Robertson there.

Speaker 8 (03:56:41):
Derrek Robbinson from Monmouth has thrown for about five hundred
yards a game and six touchdowns every game.

Speaker 7 (03:56:46):
But we'll consider the competition there.

Speaker 2 (03:56:48):
Yeah, exactly. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (03:56:50):
He was here two years ago as mains quarterback. If
you remember when the Bison played Maine and smoked him,
didn't do anything in that game, and now he's leading everybody.

Speaker 2 (03:56:58):
In passing victory formation.

Speaker 3 (03:57:01):
Now for the Bison, they drop down to a knee
on second and three, and they'll need to take one
more to put a bow on this one here inside
the Fargo Dome. What a day, What a second half
by North Dakota State. They score thirty five unanswered points
and they're gonna take their third straight victory in Valley play,
and they're gonna move to six and oh on the year.

(03:57:23):
Handshakes and hugs and the coaches box Dan Larston, the
rest of the assistant coach coaches up, Tom Tim Paul
Sick watching on for the sideline.

Speaker 2 (03:57:34):
One more kneel down for INDISU. Nathan Hayes under center, he.

Speaker 3 (03:57:37):
Takes a snap and takes a knee and that's all
she wrote here in Fargo, the Bison take the fumble
late in the first half and they never look back.
Thirty five unanswered points the big difference, and they knock
off Southern Illinois forty five to seventeen. Six and oh

(03:57:58):
start for INDISU and now three and oh in Missouri
Valley Football Conference. Play the handshake.

Speaker 2 (03:58:11):
Line out on the field. We'll hear from coach paulisa Shortly.

Speaker 3 (03:58:16):
The Bison assert their dominance once more, and they did
not look back after the touchdown at the end of
the first half. To Bryce Lance, Paul Payton puts on
the show again in the third quarter and next thing
you know, you look up and it's a lopsided scoreboard.

(03:58:36):
The Bison win forty five to seventeen.

Speaker 2 (03:58:42):
Now they sent South.

Speaker 3 (03:58:43):
Illinois back home packing a big time victory by the Bison,
and their winning ways continue. They have won ten in
a row dating back to last year's playoff run. They
are six and oh to start this year, and they're
a perfect three and zero in the Valley with three
very solid and convincing wins to open up the league.

(03:59:06):
Slate the team down on the middle of the field
for the postgame prayer to Paul Sak wrapping up in
just a moment on television. We'll get him downstairs with
Noah just a moment to seventeen. The Bison continued with
the explosive offense, the defense. Three takeaways, no turnovers by

(03:59:29):
the Bison once again. They have only turned it over
once in six games so far this season. And we'll
be on to terre Hose Bison going to Indiana State
next week. Every time, I'd love for you to join
us Nude Central for the Kicks next weekend eleven am

(03:59:53):
for our pregame beginning here on the Bison Sports Network.
Get down to Noah here in just a second. As
the fans beginning to empty out of the stadium, A
good bunch of them were able to get home pretty
much after the third quarter was done, and even before that,

(04:00:14):
after the Bison opened up the big lead, and they
continue to put their dominance on display. Let's go downstairs.
Noah's got coach, Thanks Ham, Coach.

Speaker 8 (04:00:24):
You always emphasize the middle eight, and the middle eight
was baked for the Bison today, two turnovers, fourteen points.

Speaker 7 (04:00:30):
Yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker 22 (04:00:31):
We kept that a secret last year for about half
the season. But we want to be aggressive, man.

Speaker 20 (04:00:36):
We really believe in all the work that are players
that put in and the staff is put in in
the two minute drill. You know what was really amazing
is we didn't have to take a time out in
the first half, and then you get the ball back
and you go.

Speaker 7 (04:00:46):
Just think about that momentum shift for those guys.

Speaker 22 (04:00:49):
And I'm really excited for defense getting three takeaways.

Speaker 8 (04:00:53):
You know, after two quick scores for the Southern offense,
this defense really settled and well, forced three turnovers and
were able to contain Williams in the second half.

Speaker 64 (04:01:01):
There.

Speaker 20 (04:01:01):
Yeah, Southern State true to kind of who they are.
I mean, that's a good football team. And there were
eighty five to fourteen in the first quarter. They were
five for five of scoring on their opening drives. So
that's right, some resiliency out of our defense, just sticking
with the plan, believing that we could get a ball
or two out on the ground, and that once our
offense got more than fifteen plays, you know, good things
were going to happen overall.

Speaker 7 (04:01:21):
Pretty please, I'm.

Speaker 22 (04:01:22):
Excited to take a look at the run game. I
just thought that could be a.

Speaker 2 (04:01:26):
Little more productive offensively.

Speaker 8 (04:01:28):
This unit just continues to roll, led by a pretty
special pair, a pretty special combination in Cole Payton and
Bryce Lance.

Speaker 7 (04:01:34):
Yeah, they're hard to deal with.

Speaker 22 (04:01:35):
They're special athletes.

Speaker 7 (04:01:37):
They're really special athletes.

Speaker 20 (04:01:38):
The ability for those guys to win one on ones,
their ability to run, how strong they are, it's pretty special.
I hope our fans appreciate it and don't take it
for granted. Thanks Coach, Thank you guys.

Speaker 3 (04:05:44):
Welcome back to the Fargo Dome here in Fargo, North Dakota,
and the Bison victorious today against Sumnue, Illinois forty five
to seventeen.

Speaker 2 (04:05:52):
The final score.

Speaker 3 (04:05:54):
Sam Niederman along with Phil Hansen here in the booth
Noah Kid Dwarf down on the sidelines, the Bison with
another top ten victory, this time at.

Speaker 2 (04:06:02):
Home, and they did it in style.

Speaker 3 (04:06:04):
Let's take a listen back to how it all played
out on our radio replay. We talked with Tim Paula
Sik before the game. He said, if the Bison won
the toss, they would take the ball first. Well, they
didn't win the toss. Southern Illinois won it, and they
decided to get the ball first and they would make
some points out of it. They drove down the field
and they were able to get a field goal with

(04:06:25):
Paul Halen connecting from thirty five yards out. They took
the lead on the Bison three to nothing with seven
fifteen remaining in the opening quarter, a long drive that
took nearly eight minutes off the clock, so it was three.
I think Southern Illinois Bison got the ball back next
and they would not wait long to have an answer.
Cole Payton in the shotgun Marika Penu to his left.

(04:06:48):
Cole calls for Bryce in motion and hands to Brice
and a jets Sweet cuts it up. Hello a thirty,
wheeling back inside of the thirty. There he goes a
cross bed bail.

Speaker 2 (04:06:56):
He might go all the way. That's sign the twenty
five to ten touchdown right out of the gates.

Speaker 3 (04:07:04):
Bryce Lance seventy five yards jad sweet touchdown Bison and
then the SU grabs a lead six to three. Year
of the opening quarter, Bryce Land seventy five yards to
the house. First play from scrimmage for NDSU offensively, his

(04:07:24):
second seventy five yard score of the year, had the
seventy five yard screen pass for a touchdown against Simo.
Extra point by Elio's a good and just like that,
seven to three Bison next possession, Southern Illinois would get
it and they would go three and out. Bison force
a punt and they would get it at their own
twenty yard line with five sixteen to play in the quarter. However,

(04:07:45):
Son Illinois answered with a three and out. Bison had
to punt again and Southern Illinois got the ball back.
They would convert on a couple of first downs, their
quarterback DJ Williams using his legs to scramble. Then on
the first play of the second quarter, they found peyter
five yard touchdown run by Chandler Chapman that made it
ten seven Slukis after the extra point, Byson trailing once

(04:08:06):
again and DSU Unfortunately, on the next possession they would
not be able to pick up a first down third
down and five, they were stopping in the Suluki forty
five punted down to the eleven yard line. Code Green
came up with another stop, though they were able to
force a Sluki punt. Bison got it at their own
thirty eight with eight forty seven remaining of the half.
Cole Payton was able to lead the Bison down the

(04:08:28):
field in the twenty six yard completion to Rajan Nelson
fourteen yard run by Barrika Penu. Drive would stall out
on the edge of the red zone and they would
settle for a field goal. Eli Oz it good from
thirty eight yards that made it ten to ten, six
twelve remaining in the half, and it looked like Southern
Illinois was ready to take the ball down and grab

(04:08:48):
the lead back again. Williams was able to complete to
eight and Quinn on third down and ten and twelve
yard completion got him a first down to the NDSU
thirty and then they were able to convert on third
down and four six yard kerry to get to the
NDSU eighteen yard line.

Speaker 2 (04:09:03):
Two plays later, though the turning point of the game.

Speaker 3 (04:09:07):
The Rick Electric electrifying moment of the game with Code
Green coming up big one eighteen remaining in the first half,
Miles Marshall tight end flanker out to the left along
with j Joes Cheer receivers right, Vic Pray and Davis.
Here's the stampl says On Williams.

Speaker 59 (04:09:24):
Under pressure bag got knocked Pray, Biazac got the ball,
bag got knocked Prey and the pison abitt Jayden Wilson
knocked it out, Tommy and Nan and I recovered and
the Bizon takeover.

Speaker 3 (04:09:36):
What thirteen revadon and a half A huge takeaway by
the Bison. It's your Rick Electric electrifying moment of the game.
Power up your game day with Rick Electric. Keenan Wilson
with a forced fumble, Toby and Nane with the recovery.
So then the Bison had plenty of time one thirteen
to go. They had all three timeouts you heard for
coach Paul Sick after the game with Noah, the Bison

(04:09:58):
didn't need to use their timeouts.

Speaker 2 (04:10:00):
They were able to drive down the field in a hurry.

Speaker 3 (04:10:03):
Farika Pennu five yard gain, then a pass incomplete fifty
two seconds to go. Third down and five from the
Bison thirty four Cole Payton with a scramble of nine,
then to Bryce Lance a pass of forty eight yards
of the Saluki nine yard line, and as you would
go down, no huddle, and that's where some nine to
five magic would happen to cap the drive first and

(04:10:24):
goal with the nine Peyton claps for the ball play
Bake Payne route.

Speaker 2 (04:10:29):
Looking up, it's on the left side, has caught touchdown
Bison nine to five. Back to back throws Paul.

Speaker 3 (04:10:39):
Payton to Bryce Lance nine yard touchdown and hit a blake.
They go down the field and grab the league sixteen
to ten in Asu twenty nine seconds, formating of a half.
Lance with his second touchdown of the half five place
seventy one yard drive that only took forty four seconds.
Bison did need a time out extra point was good

(04:11:02):
seventeen to ten at the break, and he as you
would get the ball to start half number two and
they would go right down the field and stretch the
lead to two scores. Fifty yard pass play to Reese
Kessel on third down and seven made it first down
to ten at the Suluki twenty two yard line. Four
plays later, Cole Peyton to Peter loaded line with three

(04:11:25):
tight ends Perika right. Here's a snaps of Peyton rowing left,
looking looking now he'll try and run cutting inside. He's
got the inZone touchdown Bison. Col Peyton went back to throw,
rolling out to us right. He was looking to throw
and then decided to tuck and run. He takes it
in himself, two yard rushing touchdown, his fourth of the year,

(04:11:48):
and the Bison are out in front by two scores.
Early in the second half twenty three to ten extra
point by Ozick Good twenty four to ten bys in
eight play seventy five yard touchdo down drive four to
Zho three off the clock Southern Illinois.

Speaker 2 (04:12:03):
Meanwhile, they would get into Bison territory.

the Bison thirty five. One play later, though another turnover
and another takeaway by code Green Williams and the shotgun
takes the snap screens it right, caught by Jones, has
a block to the thirty and he is tackled by Duffy.
Ball came out in the last second and the official
safe Byson ball by is it got the recovery, Jones

(04:12:29):
coughed it up and the Byes it come away with it.

Speaker 2 (04:12:32):
Jackson Dudeneffer as the ball.

Speaker 3 (04:12:35):
Jackson Dudeneffer Johnny on the spot, Jones fumble the ball
right before going down. Darius Gibbons gets credit for forcing
the fubble and Dudon Effer with the recovery.

Speaker 2 (04:12:46):
Bison would take over at their.

Speaker 3 (04:12:47):
Own twenty six ten twenty to go in the third
quarter and they would drive down into Suluki territory at
the forty one yard line. And this is where Cole
Payton did cold Peyton things. He delivers the Blue Cross
Blue Shield in North Dakota carry of the game on
second down and ten at the forty one exaggerated playfake

Extra point goodbye oazak thirty one ten twenty one unanswered
by the Bison, and DSU would continue to play good

(04:13:54):
defense against DJ Williams and the Slokies.

Speaker 2 (04:13:56):
They would get a punt.

Speaker 3 (04:13:58):
They got the ball at the end of the third
quarter and moving into the fourth and that's where they
would tack on another one of the end zone, this
time the Bison running back finding the house Peyton in
the shotgun tier receivers left one man right, Lance snapping
gift to Verrika inside the five and into the end
zone for the touchdown Rica Petu and for his ninth

(04:14:21):

yard score ninth touchdown of the season for bk Ensuing
Southern Illinois possession, the Bison able to get another takeaway

(04:14:42):
and this time it was a youngster who got it
on the party. Here's thirty three and the thirty two.
Williams takes the snap fires over the middle intercept in
it's intercepting taken on the far side of the field,
buying the Bison. They pick up the interception. It's Oliver locked.
Oliver locked to with the interception and he is being

(04:15:02):
bombed by his teammates coming off here sideline. The Fargo
Davies kid with his first career interception. Great moment for
all over luck. Shout out to Fargo Davies High School.
Eleven yard interception return and it's set up in DSU
would ten fifty one to play. One more touchdown for

(04:15:23):
the Bison for the ride home. DJ Scott finding the
end zone. He's in the shotgun.

corner inside of twenty fifteen to ten five for three
two one touchdown, DJ touchdown Bison.

Speaker 2 (04:15:40):

Speaker 3 (04:15:44):
Twenty four yard touchdown run and the Onslaught keeps on
going for the herd. Forty five seventeen would be the
final score. DJ Scott twenty four yard rushing touchdown and
the Bison take care of business against Southern with the
victory here inside the Fargo Dome. Let's go downstairs onto

(04:16:05):
the field. Noah standing by with Jackson Duton have for Noah.

Speaker 2 (04:16:09):
Thanks Sam duty.

Speaker 64 (04:16:10):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (04:16:11):
You know, DJ Williams is a pretty pretty phenomenal quarterback
for them. What sort of challenges does a really mobile quarterback,
you know, present to this defense?

Speaker 38 (04:16:18):
You know, I think as a defense, it's you just
don't have to prepare just for a running back run.
It's actually you have to maybe worry about a quarterback run,
and that means that there's a whole nother fit that
it adds to it if that running back might insert
and be an extra blocker. So for running one, it's
it's really hard as a defense because of that extra fit.
But obviously, with how athletic he was, I mean, you
have to worry about him in the past game, you
have to worry about scramble. They obviously they love draw

(04:16:40):
with the kid today, so like he's just an athletic kid,
they just try to get the ball in his hands
and three.

Speaker 8 (04:16:44):
More turnovers first forced for this Bison defense today. How
heavily is that an emphasis for you guys on a
week to week basis, It's honestly an everyday emphasis for us.
We always have a goal of in practice, whether it's
against scouts, our own offense, when we go good on
good of like, hey, we try to get three takeaways
a day minimum, and that's either you know, punches, fumbles, interceptions,
whatever it is. But obviously for us today that it

(04:17:05):
made her broke this game honestly, because I mean, you
you get that takeaway with Keenan Wilson right away, offense
goes downs and scores right before half.

Speaker 38 (04:17:11):
But you get another takeaway, offense goes and scores. It
really changes games. And it's honestly, it's for us that's
we just gotta keep emphasizing that as well.

Speaker 8 (04:17:19):
And you know, Logan Larson, Keenan Wilson, Elijah Wayne, you
guys have a lot of young guys, a lot of
really great players that are coming up.

Speaker 2 (04:17:24):
Just talk to me about these young guys in this
room and in their development so far.

Speaker 38 (04:17:28):
I mean, honestly, I think with with Keenan and Logan,
I saw a lot of strides with them this spring.
Just the limited time that they got last season, that
experience still helped them. But I think the spring of like, hey,
like we're gonna have to be in the rotation a
lot this fall was really good. And obviously you see
the success that they're actually having, whether or not you
know that shows up in the stat book or not.
I mean, they're they're doing their job, they're getting knocked back,
they're helping us out up front, and my gosh, like, honestly,

(04:17:51):
the ceiling is not the limit for those those three especially,
Like honestly, the skuy's the limit from they're doing their
amazing job. They're continuing to grow and develop, and the
experiences that they're getting now is going to easily translate
for them in the future.

Speaker 8 (04:18:03):
And then kind of piggybacking off that you're kind of
the older guy in the room now, so how are
you sort of embracing that role for this defense?

Speaker 38 (04:18:09):
You know, for me, it's it's like, hey, it's a
last hurrah, and it's like, how like what do I know?
What have I experienced? What have I gone through that?
How can I help them be better than what I
am or what I will could have ever been? You know,
It's just there's something that whether whether or not maybe
it actually will matter not at the end, but if
if they can take away one thing that maybe I
can just like, hey, just here here's my advice to

(04:18:30):
you and maybe that makes them just like one percent better.

Speaker 2 (04:18:32):
I feel like my job as an old guy in
the room that would have been satisfied. Awesome, Thanks Jackson.

Speaker 1 (04:18:37):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (04:18:37):
Back to you, Sam, Thanks very much, another old guy
here the.

Speaker 7 (04:18:43):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (04:18:44):
He did a great job three tackles and a fumble
recovery for what Jackson did to have for all. Right,
let's go back downstairs. Noah's standing by. He's got Cole
paid with him. Noah, Thanks Sam.

Speaker 2 (04:18:55):
Cole.

Speaker 8 (04:18:55):
You know, you just seem super confident right now in
the in the pocket processing your reads and if it's
not there, you know, you're just talking to run and
you just kind of talk to me about your thought
process right now in the pocket.

Speaker 37 (04:19:05):
Yeah, I mean, first off, I don't have a good
pocket if it's not for the alignment. And so then
them working their tails off to keeping me and the
other quarterbacks protected is huge. And then just like I
remember talking to Coach Larson before, you know, the South
Dakota game, and like like there's no need to like
waste time sitting in there getting to the fourth or

(04:19:25):
fifth or sixth red of the of the play. Let's
just use my legs and get some positive yards and
get going forward. And so that's kind of the thought
behind it.

Speaker 8 (04:19:33):
And this is kind of the second week in a
roll where you guys, you know, have faced almost a
little bit of adversity, a little bit of resistance right
away to start the game. And just talk to me
about your message to these this offensive unit and how
you kind of keep these guys calling back there.

Speaker 37 (04:19:44):
Yeah, well, I think first off, we just got to
convert better on third downs in the first half and
and you know, keep our defense off the field because
we got to stop with the three and outs and
I think that's what it comes down to. And just
you know, at halftime, just telling the guys, you know,
keep trusting the process and let's just get that first
first down, let's get a third convert on these third downs,

(04:20:05):
and then you know the wheels will start rolling.

Speaker 16 (04:20:06):
And that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 8 (04:20:08):
Also second week con Roll that you know, this defense
has come up with a huge turnover to really swing momentum.
You know, talk to me about the role of complimentary
football and then how you guys sort of capitalize on
that momentum.

Speaker 37 (04:20:18):
I mean, I think I think football is you know,
the ultimate team game, and it goes with all three phases,
you know, offense, defense, and special teams. And so when
we're plus in the turnover margin, that's a good thing
and we have a way better chance to win. And
the defense has been putting in the work when it
comes to you know, takeaway circuits and all those things,
and so you know, props to them for getting us

(04:20:39):
the ball.

Speaker 2 (04:20:40):
So awesome. Thanks col Thanks Noah, Back to you, Sam.

Speaker 3 (04:20:43):
Thanks Noah. Cole Payton. Another terrific game for the Bison.
Two more rushing touchdowns, including his forty one yard or
in the third quarter, thirteen out of sixteen through the
air two hundred and forty three yards and a passing touchdown,
as well his completion percentage. We'll get the final math
on it by a time we're in Tera Dice next week,
but it is through the roof at the moment. Got

(04:21:05):
to be north of seventy five percent by a good chunk.

Speaker 2 (04:29:20):
We've been waiting for it all post game.

Speaker 3 (04:29:22):
Here we go Phil's game day report card, brought to
you by Northern Bag in Box.

Speaker 7 (04:29:27):
Let's get her done. Offense forty five points. That is
enough points to win a football game against a good team,
no turnovers. I think we really saw how big of
a difference that made today. That really was that really
made a difference. Long sustained drives, not at the beginning,
but at the end, much better dominate the line of scrimmage. Yeah,

(04:29:47):
I think that was kind of off and on, but
by the end of the game, I think we were
They get an A. Defense create turnovers, yes, three turnovers. Wow.
I mean if I stopped right there, they'd have an A.
But we got to talk a about a few other things.
Uh DB's challenge razor level of play. There's a couple
of broken coverages there. I didn't like a couple guys

(04:30:07):
running free. That is really bad when guys are running
free across the field. So the penalties, the broken coverages,
and then I also had sure tackling down. We missed
a lot of tackles consistently through the game that we
shouldn't have. So defense, the turnovers excellent, the rest and
B plus so special teams. Make all your kicks, field

(04:30:29):
goal extra points. Hey, that field goal he made in
the second quarter, that was that tied the game up
ten to ten. That was very important at the time
he made it. That's a big time play effort on
coverage teams. You know, it just didn't really come into play.
We kicked all the kicks, I think they most of
them went into the end fresh brown. Yeah cover, Yeah,

(04:30:50):
that was a big hit. Yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, yeah,
that was good. Change the game for the better. I
mean it's kind of hard when you don't have a
lot of opportunities. I don't think they had a lot
of opportunities, but made the kick. They get to be
nice A for the offense, B plus for defense. It'll
be for special teams nice quin.

Speaker 2 (04:31:09):
That's A.

Speaker 7 (04:31:09):
That's a playoff team. That team will be around that.
I really like that, and that's our best competition this year.

Speaker 3 (04:31:16):

led by Cole Payton thirteen out of sixteen through the air,
two forty three passing a touchdown. Also at forty eight

(04:36:31):
rushing and two touchdowns. Nathan Hayes three for three and
mop up duty thirty three yards. Bison five hundred and
forty yards of offense. They outgained the Sulukis five forty
to three, thirteen first downs and even Stephn tide twenty
three to twenty three.

Speaker 2 (04:36:46):
We talked about third down as the big impact stat.

Speaker 3 (04:36:49):
Southern Illinois five to eleven on third down, the Bison
eight out of twelve on third down play count sixty
two to sixty one in favor of the Bison. Bison
also had three sacks in the game, Jack Giuliano, Victor Isley.

Speaker 2 (04:37:02):
They get some sacks for NDSU, three.

Speaker 3 (04:37:04):
Turnovers for Southern Illinois, none for the Bison. Huge in
that department, and the Bison ultimately win the time possession
battle thirty two to twenty seven. They trailed at twenty
one to eight.

Speaker 7 (04:37:15):
How about that, Southern Illinois right back to their average
twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (04:37:18):
Mats for time of possession, the Bison right of their
average and they take the lead in that pretty remarkable. Individually,
Barika sixteen carries sixty six yards a touchdown is ninth
the year, DJ Scott forty two yards in a touchdown.
Court Tensel Grant two carries for seventeen yards, Owen Johnson
five for nine receiving, Wise Bryce four for seventy nine
and a touchdown. Rajshot two for sixty two, Chris Harris

(04:37:42):
two for twenty, reskessl one for fifty. Defensively for NDSU,
Nathaniel Staling paces the way with nine tackles, Donovan wille
seven tackles, two pass breakups, Darius Gibbons five tackles, one
pass breakup, a forest fumble as well. Unfortunately ejected for
targeting in the second half. As it stands right now,

(04:38:02):
he would be suspended for the first half of next
week's game in Indiana State, although I believe the Bison
can appeal that tomorrow morning with the Conference office see
if they can get that suspension lifted.

Speaker 7 (04:38:13):
But once see, don't get me started.

Speaker 2 (04:38:15):
I'm just gonna leave it right there. I don't need
to go into any more detail, but yeah, Darius got
tossed for the targeting. Pretty causestionable there.

Speaker 3 (04:38:21):
The third quarter, Logan cop four tackles in a quarterback hurry,
Keen Wilson, big force fumble recovery by Toby and Nane Jackson,
Duton Effer fumble recovery as well, Jack Giuliano and Victor
Izley each with a sack. Keen Wilson, Logan Larsen combined for.

Speaker 2 (04:38:36):
Half a sack.

Speaker 3 (04:38:37):
There's your coss increased your productivity. Final stats on offense
and defense for the Bison. Noah Gendorf back with us
in the booth. Noah, this was a game in which
Bizan had thirty five unanswered.

Speaker 2 (04:38:49):
You nailed it. Talking with coach p about in the middleway,
how big was that stretch for NDSU? That was really big?

Speaker 8 (04:38:54):
You know this it almost felt like in the first half,
NDSU was on their heels a little bit. You know,
obviously we had the big touchdown to Bryce right away,
but other than that, you know, Southern was was really
moving the ball down the field and NDSU you know,
started zero for three on third downs in that first half.
So but you know, just just that huge momentum swing,
and we saw something kind of similar last week. You know,

(04:39:15):
seemed like NDSU was a little bit on their heels
and then a big turnover just totally flips everything and
you're able to kind of get momentum back on your
side and our offense. You know, we talked about complimentary
football each time. They seem to capitalize on that turnover
as well, and so this was just more of the same,
you know, flawless two minute drill and then to get
the ball right back to start the second half. You know,

(04:39:36):
went from ten to ten and looking like we were
going to go down to all of a sudden we're up,
you know, twenty four to ten in just a matter
of moments. So just a huge swing there, and Ndius
you just never really looked back.

Speaker 2 (04:39:46):
Yeah, no doubt about it.

Speaker 3 (04:39:48):
You look at the Bison the turnovers, like you talked about,
Noah three nothing in that category. Bison offense has only
turned it over once all year. That was Nathan Hayes
kind of in garbage time at Tennessee State, the first unit.

Speaker 2 (04:40:02):
They have been flawless of that department so far.

Speaker 8 (04:40:04):
Yeah, that's that's been really good. And that goes to
Cole's decisiveness, I think. And you know, obviously we're not
putting the ball in the ground. We're not fumbling, which
is great. You know eventually that that could happen, but
up to this point, you know, it's it's must be
a big emphasis ball security between Cole and Rica, you know,
the two that are gonna be handling the ball the most.
But I talked to Cole in his interview just about
his decisiveness in the pocket. You know, he he's going

(04:40:26):
to go through his first or second read maybe, and
then you know he's gonna he's gonna just tuck the
ball and run. He's not going to try and force
the ball in anywhere to where it could even get intercepted.
You know, his legs are such a weapon that if if,
if he doesn't have a sure thing, a wide open throw,
you know, you might as well just tuck it and
use your legs and just live to fight another down.
So it's it's been really great to see it, and

(04:40:46):
you know, the final score kind of shows it to
every single game so far.

Speaker 2 (04:40:50):
How electric is Bryce Lance? Oh he is.

Speaker 8 (04:40:53):
He is truly becoming, you know, a true home run threat.
We could, you know, call him the great Bambino out there.
You know, it's pretty impressive, honestly, what he's able to
do and just that chemistry that him and Cole are
able to develop up to this point. We just find
different ways to get the ball in his hands. And
if you have a one on one matchup, I mean
you should throw it to him every single time. You know,

(04:41:15):
it's a no brainer. At this point, he is more
than likely going to come down with the ball.

Speaker 1 (04:41:19):
I think.

Speaker 7 (04:41:19):
Speaking of bambinos, you better get home and see your
new bambina.

Speaker 2 (04:41:23):
I better, I better.
