NDSU keeps it on the ground and drives it in easily.

A lot to feel good about with the defense at least; I�m glad the transition from Elko to Durkin doesn�t appear to have been too rough.

Yeah. Run defense needs some work and some angles taken were real bad but overall they won us the game so good job

This, watch or start a street fight, illegally gamble, get in trouble in some fashion. All sorts of things, some from experience.

It's not a bad time overall if you're the right age, but you've gotta make your own fun.

To be fair, EMU is FBS, though NDSU would probably be favored over them by two touchdowns

They have a battle of undefeateds at home against Duke (!!) next week; if they can win that one they�re 4-0 and it would seem totally doable to win 2 out of the next 8 in conference play with TCU and Tech breaking in new coaches and no one else other than OU and maybe Texas or Oklahoma State looking especially good.

it would be really funny if a bit sad if Kansas has had Texas' number even when they were completely awful but lose now that they're actually looking good

Iowa doesn�t want to give up the win and Nevada doesn�t want to sign off on the loss based on a half of play.

They are reading the stats off on NDSU�s kickers and drat I guess you don�t have to be that great to kick in FCS.

NDSU got too fancy on 3rd and 4th down.

we are playing NDSU because it was cheap

quote:

In early 2017, the UA was looking to schedule an FCS game for September 2022. The school went through Gridiron, a scheduling service run by Dave Brown, a former ESPN executive who has become the premier matchmaker in college football. That in and of itself wasn�t unusual; Gridiron works with every school in FBS and almost every one in FCS.

What was unique about this particular situation is that Arizona elected to use the auction function on the Gridiron website. No one ever had before. And no one has since.

Arizona was looking to save money. The idea behind the online auction system was that it would save time. It worked on both fronts.

Arizona is paying $425,000 for North Dakota State to play in Tucson on Saturday night. The average payout by Pac-12 schools to FCS programs since 2011 is $555,000, according to Gridiron�s database. Making things even better for the UA from a financial standpoint: Approximately 10,000 NDSU fans are expected to attend the game at Arizona Stadium.

"Out of all the games that have ever been put together ... I don�t know if that will ever be topped," Brown said. "If any school was gonna do it, it�s North Dakota State."

NDSU jumped at the opportunity because it�s hard for the Bison to schedule games against FBS opponents. They�ve won six such matchups in a row. No one wants to play them.

Recalling how it all went down, NDSU athletic director Matt Larsen described the process as "definitely the most unique way we've ever scheduled a football game."

"This was the first time that we ever saw the auction function used," Larsen said. "We thought internally, this could be an opportunity to get an FBS game. So we said, �Hey, let's put a low bid in.� We did, fully expecting that somebody might come in a little bit lower or maybe Arizona wouldn't want that. Lo and behold, they took it."
