ODU connecting on long passes that we kept just missing...otherwsie the game looks very similar to last week...

ODU leads 21-14 at half..GSU has missed two short FGs...

So far not much gap between Bears and these two teams...

Yep! If only we could have connected on a few more of those passes...We could be playing right now!

GSU wins 49-35....

ODU obvioulsy never figured out how to stop GSU plus they made two critical decisions late that cost them a shot to win...first the game was tied at 35 and ODU failed ona 4th down at their 42 and it took GSU about 5-6 plays to score...then the ODU QB a few minutes later threw a ball over the middle into an INT (pretty good DB play but not a great pass to try and squeeze in) to stop their last possession....

No doubt in my mind after watching this game and last week vs GSU that we could have played ODU very well and probably have won.....

ODU moves to FBS next fall....GSU apparently waiting on invite from Sunbelt.

North Dakota State slipped by GSU by 23-20.

Kats lead Eastern Washington by 35-0 early in the 3rd. Looks like a rematch coming up in Frisco.

Wow...what a finish.....imagine scoring 45 on Sam in a half...

Should be an exciting game vs NDSU.....have to be for the Kats...

In the first game, GSU outplayed NDSU all over the field......430 to 276 in total offense, TOP by +6 and other stats..however, GSU also had 100+ yards of penalities, lost a fumble, missed a PAT and missed a FG....over 18,000 attendance....McKinnon had 168 running on 31 carries and Swope added 77 yds rushing and 49 receiving...

In the Sam v EWU game...

EWU had 523 total vss 503 for Kats.....

Kats had 418 yd rushing to 42 for EWU...EWU had 481 passing to Sam's 85....

Kats held 38-22 lead in TOP...including 13-2 in the 4th Q!!!!

Flanders was 34/231 and Sincere was 10/69

EWU scored 6 TDs in 2nd half with a total TOP of 6:23.....avg drive time only 1:04!!! Kats took 16+ minutes of TOP on scoring drives including one INT returned for TD....

Kats kicked a 42 yd FG with 5:33 to go for the winning margin, then gave up a quick score then held the ball the last 3:04 for the win....

Sam Houston State (11-3), runner-up, Southland, rated #55 by Sagarin, #2 FCS
North Dakota State (13-1), champion, Missouri Valley, rated #45 by Sagarin, #1 FCS

FC Dallas Stadium
Frisco, Texas
Noon, Central time

The big game is nearing quickly. Bears and their fans should take pride in UCA beating one of the teams in the finals and nearly beating what became a Final Four team who played NDSU down to the end. The 2012 Bears team with a bounce of the ball would have made a very entertaimning and viable final game team.

The Sports Network has had several very good stories the past week or so on the game. Below are links to some of my favorites:

Same schools, but different teams

Breaking down Sam Houston State
http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot2/news/news.aspx?id=4553324

Sam Houston State scored more than 20 points in all but two games this fall. Who were those two teams?

North Dakota State beat Wofford 14-7 in the playoffs. Who else held NDSU to only 14 points?

Picture of stadium at link below:

Yes , a soccer complex but a nice stadium with 21,000+ seats. Looks to be quite a complex overall. Hope to see many of you there next year to watch the Bears play for FCS title.

For this year, I am hoping the BearKats get the win (for obvious reasons). Should be a really good game.

Oh yes, Sagarin ratings favor NDSU by 3.

North Dakota State whips Sam Houston State by 39-13 in the rematch......funny how one play in football can be such a dramatic turining point. With scored tied 10-10 early in Q3, Sam is driving and on a 3rd and 4, Flanders breaks open for a nice apparent go ahead TD run...but wait, a holding penalty brings it back for 3rd and 14 ..Kats throw for the first down and Bison intercepts then drive 60 yards for go ahead TD and never looked back. Sam ends up with 4 turnovers.

Congrats to NDSU for the win and back-to-back championships.

Sold out stadium...last of the tickets were reportedly on sale late last week at $350-500.
