Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2000063, member: 289"] FCS QUARTER-FINALS The Bison of NORTH DAKOTA STATE avenged their only regular season loss on the field where it happened, turning an 0-10 deficit into a runaway 36-10 win. They looked every bit like a team going after its 6th straight national championship. An incredible 20 play, 82 yard drive gave the Bison the elad over the Jackrabbits and turned the game completely around.

The game featured 5 lead changes, including the final one in OT as Tevin McCaster went over form the 2 in the second “inning”. The defense then stuffed Wofford for the win. Jody Webb ran for 213 yards and had 118 yards in kick returns for the winners.

This game was 65-0 in the third period it looked like the Dukes could have won by 100 if they’d wanted to. The Bearkats came in as the highest scoring FCS team with 53 points a game but they were completely over-matched by the Dukes, (who had averaged 48 themselves). The game was 42-0 at halftime. James Madison had 607 total yards to 270.

The Eagles recorded 6 sacks and forced 5 turnovers while out-0gianign the Spiders 451-205.

The question is: can any of them beat the five time defending champion Bison? James Madison certainly looked like they could and so did Eastern Washington. I think Youngstown will have a hard time if the rumored suspensions come through. The North Dakota State James Madison game is on ESPN2 as I write this. The eastern Washingotn-Youngstwon game will be on ESPNU tomorrow at 6:30PM. [/QUOTE]
