Did King play at all in the game?

I didn't realize until I watched the replay at home that Deming didn't play.

Yeah sounded like he was out sick - not an injury.

Twelve penalties are far too many, whether some were due to trickery or not.

No doubt, even if they were doing some bush league crap at the line, our offense has consistently had false starts in the red zone throughout the season.

If you have the opportunity, re-watch the game. A second time will take your emotions, along with the stress of outcome, out of the thought process. You will have a totally different outlook on this game. This game was dominated in many ways by the Cats, as they wore them down. This is typical NDSU style that Vigen learned.

I raised my kids in Fargo, respect their teams, but not a fan. I went to many games, regular a playoffs. There were many times I sat excited thinking the Bison were going to lose mid way through the third quarter to watch it slip away as they wore out the other team. It wasn’t flashy, but more like a boa constrictor slowly crushing its prey.

I want to see some of the young redshirts get into the game tonight. I think it’ll happen. Especially some of the DL guys.

Just an FYI: #99 Josaiah Asuega. 6’4” 298 Freshmen got into the game.

Just look at the team stats and TOP and it was the best offensive performance of the season IMO considering SFA was #2 in total defense behind NDSU this season.

Also, Asuega is a true freshman and not a redshirt. He did redshirt this year, but playoff games don't count against the 4.

He is currently redshirting and that was my hope, that we would get youngsters into the game because they don’t count against the redshirt. Thank you for helping make my point.

On 1st TD drive. Tacos catch it was first and 10 from 25. They called hold at 10. 10 yard penalty put Ball on 20. They moved the chains. Shouldn't it have been 1st and 5.

Yes it should have! In the grand scheme of things, it didn't matter, but that is one of the biggest mistakes an officiating crew can make. Giving a team a 5th down, or not enough downs is at the top. Correct chain placement witj correct down and distance is easily in the top five things you can't get wrong as an official. The fact that not a single guy on the crew stopped play to have a conversation about it is really really bad.

Looks like SFA's Defensive Coordinator got a promotion.
