FCS PLAYOFFS
EASTERN WASHINGTON 38, NORTH DAKOTA STATE 31 (OT)
Bison suffer deflating overtime loss in Football Championship Subdivision quarterfinals.

STUCK SEEING RED

EWU drives 90 yards in final minutes of regulation to force OT,
then secures win after Jensen fumble on goal line isn’t overturned
By Jeff Kolpack

CHENEY, Wash. – The light coating of
snow turned the red Sprinturf field a
shade of pink. It was the one color you
wouldn’t associate with this game.
North Dakota State was 90 yards and 2
minutes, 29 seconds from hosting a semi-
final game in the Division I Football
Championship Subdivision playoffs. But
Eastern Washington wouldn’t have any of
that, driving that distance to tie the game.
The Eagles scored on the first play in
overtime. And that held up after the
Bison fumbled into EWU’s end zone on
their possession in a 38-31 quarterfinal
victory before 4,060 cold fans at Roos
Field. It was a heartbreaker for NDSU,
which saw its season end at 9-5.
There was more action than a Bruce
Willis movie. Each team returned a
kickoff for a touchdown, NDSU’s Mike
Sigers blocked two field goals and Bison
cornerback Marcus Williams returned
an interception for a touchdown.
“It was a crazy game,” said Bison run-
ning back D.J. McNorton. “It was a
tough game. Up and down. So close.”
So close on the game’s final play in
overtime, too, a fumble by NDSU quar-
terback Brock Jensen that went to a
booth review. It was ruled not enough
evidence to overturn the call on the
field, and the players and fans from
Eastern Washington swarmed the field.
Some NDSU players dropped to a
knee, others took their helmets off and
stared at the crowd. Some started walk-
ing, slowly, toward the locker room.
“I felt like we had that game,” said
Bison linebacker Preston Evans. “All we
had to do is get off the field in 90 yards.
They were No. 1 in the poll, so you have
to beat the best to be the best and today
we didn’t do that.”
Leading 31-24, NDSU punter John
Prelvitz pinned the Eagles at their
10-yard line with 2:29 remaining. With
Eastern’s offense struggling in the sec-
ond half and running back Taiwan Jones
– who had 230 yards rushing – out with Christopher Anderson / Special to The Forum

However, not long enough
to play in the Bison-Sioux
rivalry prior to Saturday
night. The last time the teams
played was in February 2004,
a game that the Sioux won
76-73 in overtime. A record
crowd of 10,709 fans were on
hand to watch the renewal of
a rivalry that was put on
pause for nearly seven years.
The crowd was the largest to
ever watch an NDSU home
basketball game.
“The event part made it a
little more fun, too,” said
Tveidt, who scored a game-
high 23 points. “I think the
event thing made it a little
better.”
Tveidt and Coleman were
at their best early in the sec-
ond half. They helped the
Bison turn a 33-33 halftime
tied into an 18-point lead less
than nine minutes into the
second half.
“I thought their experience
and strength really showed to
our youth,” UND coach Brian
Jones said. “They probably
wore us out a little bit.”
The Bison started the sec-
ond half on a 20-2 run. Cole-
man and Tveidt combined for
12 points during that crucial
stretch. The 6-foot-7 Tveidt
capped the game-changing
surge with a spinning layup.
That staked the Bison to a
53-35 lead with 11 minutes, 51
seconds remaining in the
second half.
“We obviously didn’t come
out as focused as we needed
to be,” said UND junior for-
ward Patrick Mitchell, who
finished with 12 points. “Not
to take any credit away from
them. They came out and
took some shots.”

CHENEY, Wash. – Take away the
loss and it was a special day for
North Dakota State redshirt fresh-
man Mike Sigers. He blocked two
field goals and returned a kickoff 94
yards for a touchdown.
It wasn’t enough – Eastern Wash-
ington defeated the Bison 38-31 in
overtime in the Division I Football
Championship quarterfinals. In the
history of playoff football, it’s debat-
able whether any Bison player had
ever had that kind of a day.
“When you get into the playoffs,
anything can happen,” Sigers said.
“Both teams are apparently very
good on special teams and I’m pretty
sure both teams came in trying to
make plays to get to the next round.”
Sigers’ kickoff return came on the
second half kickoff to tie it at 17-17.
The lead lasted all of 13 seconds.

Bison come up short

on the booth reviews
By Jeff Kolpack
jkolpack@forumcomm.com
CHENEY, Wash. – Replay
technology didn’t go North
Dakota State’s way Saturday
afternoon.
The Bison didn’t get the bet-
ter of a couple of booth
reviews and both plays had an
impact in Eastern Washing-
ton’s 38-31 overtime win in the
Division I Football Champi-
onship Subdivision quarterfi-
nals. When NDSU quarterback
Brock Jensen’s stretch for the
end zone was ruled a fumble
on the field, life stood still in
Cheney.
Fans that swarmed the field
had to be ushered off while an
official in the press box looked
at the video replay. The booth
official has the authority to
buzz the on-field official on
any play, and that was the case
on the final play.
It was a dramatic wait.
“I thought he was down for
sure, but what do I know,” said
NDSU offensive lineman Paul
Cornick.
Said Bison linebacker Pre-
ston Evans: “It’s a tough situa-
tion to sit there and wait it out.
But that’s how the cards fell
today.”
The ruling was there was
not enough evidence to over-
turn the officials’ call on the
field and the Eagles celebrat-
ed.
“Anxiety,” said Eastern head
coach Beau Baldwin. “It’s out
of your hands and that’s
always tough.”
FCS teams rarely play with
the replay system. NDSU had
it against Kansas, Iowa State
and Minnesota in the last two
years – three Football Bowl
Some fans unhappy with some calls
Many Bison fans were
outraged when the final play of
the game – a fumble by NDSU
QB Brock Jensen into the end
zone – wasn’t overturned after
the referees watched the
replay. If you would like to voice
your opinion, go to
www.inforum.com. Here’s what
a few of them had to say:
“The Bison did not lose to
Eastern Washington. They lost
to the refereeing. NDSU should
protest the game outright. I find
it disgusting that the refs blew
3 separate calls, which all
happened to go against the
Bison.”
– Reality Check
“It was a good game. If the refs
Subdivision teams.
“I appreciate the replay sys-
tem,” said NDSU head coach
Craig Bohl. “Obviously, it’s a
good thing and we were
pleased it was used today. I
think for me to make any com-
ment obviously is dangerous
to do. That puts us on a slip-
pery slope.”
There were three replays in
the game, and none of the on-
the-field calls were over-
turned. NDSU recovered an
Eastern Washington fumble, a
play that was upheld in the
booth.

didn’t have the information to
overturn the call then it was the
right call at the end,
unfortunately. Just hold onto
the ball. They had times at the
end of game to win.”
– Jaystus
“Don’t blame the refs, blame
the defense. Their effort on the

the two teams traded long return touchdowns to open the second half.
Terrible, terrible call. Too bad,
Bison played hard!”
– Jon E
It was a low throw on the
sideline that replays appeared
to show the ball grazing the
turf. But the call on the field
was ruled correct and the
Eagles scored on the next play
when Taiwan Jones went 69
yards to make it 14-0.
“You don’t face that situa-
tion very often at our level,”
Baldwin said. “The replay is
used by the big boys. The good
thing is they’re going to get it
right. You look at the three
plays and the officials did a
great job. All three stood on
what was called on the field.”
