Instead? A long pass, in this wind…incomplete. A delay of game penalty…now 3rd and 9. A sack. A blocked punt returned for a TD.

WHY?

Up 6-3. With the wind. Now down 10-6.

All because you got cute.
Exactly. That's questionable Coaching.

C'mon Nova!

I expect the Rabbits to wake up here at the half.

Plenty of good seats available ... good defensive play on turnover by Nova.

Rabbits jack Nova with a 66 yard TD run. Ugh. Up by 11 now. Lot of football left though.

As expected, Nova comes up short. Could only muster 3 2nd half points.

C'mon Albany!!

Yet another special teams coach being fired today. NDSU scores on a punt return.
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS

Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

NDSU is stomping South Dakotas guts out, absolutely dominating performance in the 1st half 35-3 bison. That will make a colossal matchup next week in Missoula for sure against the Griz.

Nova acquitted themselves well better than our two trips out there. Big question to be answered is why is their recruiting better than ours?

Bizon being the Bizon.

Nova played well. The D was/is fast and athletic. Wish they had a more productive Offense today. And better STs. BUT I bet a few teams this playoff tournament wish they had better STs. So many big plays have been made.

Villanova-

We have a coaching staff that's a work in progress. They have one of maturity and stability.

We beat nobody this season and finished 4th in the CAA. They finished 1st.

They ran a 3 man front as we did but had backers who were a step faster then anyone we utilized .

Our greatest receivers in Blue Hen history really weren't.

Next year we get an all FCS schedule, I understand. Good !

Plus they might have fans who don't try to backstab head coaches with random gossip and putdowns and refer to transfers as mercenaries as some kind of selfish power play. Just saying.
