Travis Williams sacks Jensen on the 1st down play back to the 17 2nd & 16 from there. Crockett gets six down to the 11 to set up a 3rd & 10 for the Bison.
Zach Vraa gets nine on a pass from Brock Jensen. 2 & 1 from the YSU 22 and John Crockett gets down to the 11 on the ground.
Jamaine Cook fumbles the first play from scrimmage and NDSU recovers at the YSU 31. NDSU takes over under a very quite Dome now.
Demond Hymes returns to opening kick to their own 26.
We are ready to go. The Dome is rocking now in anticipation for the opening kickoff. Actually, NDSU likely would have defered if they won the toss so this actually plays exactly what they would want.
Youngstown State wins the coin toss and will receive the opening kickoff.
Jensen kneels down and the final seconds tick off. FINAL NORTH DAKOTA STATE 33 NORTHERN IOWA 21. This sets up quite the meeting in Fargo next week between Youngstown State and NDSU.
The onsides kick is bobbled but NDSU recovers it. One kneel down should do it.
Time out NDSU before UNI kicks.
One onside kick recovery will wrap up the victory for NDSU.
Sinkfield catches a nice pass in the end zone after an incompletion. PAT is good. UNI scores before this one is over. NDSU 33 UNI 21 with 24 seconds left.
Johnson with a big draw run to the NDSU 41. Johnson with a catch but just for 2 to the NDSU 39. LeMaster catches it to the NDSU 20. 35 seconds and counting.
Anderson with a nice return to the UNI 45. Anderson is hurt after the play and is limping off the field.
This is not what I expected with a near blowout. NDSU looks much better in my opinion than I originally thought.
NDSU with a silly foul for a personal foul with 2:40 and counting on the clock to set up a 3rd & 25 from the 30. Jensen keeps it and doesn't get the first down but gets to the UNI 11. NDSU will try a 28 yard FG from Keller and its good. NDSU 33 UNI 14, 1:40 left in the game. The UNI Dome is nearly empty with the exception of the 1,000 or so NDSU fans in the stands.
Down to 3:00 left. This will be the first NDSU win in Cedar Falls since 1976.
Ojuri for five more to the UNI 25. 2nd & 5 from the 25 -- Crockett with a nice spinning run to the UNI 15.
Ojuri gets eight to the right outside. Crocket gets five more for another NDSU first down to the UNI 30.
Crockett gets to the UNI 42 to get a NDSU first down. I think this will be the dagger.
Crockett gets one on the next play. 3rd & 1 is a must stop for UNI to have any chance.
