This defense tho.

What a great tip by Hallock to get that int.

Wow

31-7

Lets hope we put two halves together and not crap the bed in the second half and let RI back into this game.

Glad to see my fears appeared to be unfounded.

There were 2 garbage FCS teams that beat the MAC this season, so I was leery of the #7 ranked one.

The brown uniforms with gold trim look great!

31-7 at the half.

Great first half.

Again, lets hope we put together two good halves and not let RI back into this in the second half making it a close game.

I imagine ranking FCS is an adventure outside of the Dakotas.

NDSU would be favored against us, even at home. Only MAC teams they might not be road favorites against would be Ohio and Miami. They really should be FBS. They’re head-and-shoulders above every other FCS program by a sight (including the other FCS “powerhouses” in the Dakotas.)

This score is gonna look a lot closer than the actual game.

I can’t believe Lance already pulled the starters.

Nice comfortable FCS win. Good job Broncos.

Satisfying win. I know it’s “only” an FCS opponent but it was great to see the O let loose.

What’s the news on Buckley unless I missed it in the thread.

Solid win over a good FCS team.

I hope Rhode Island goes deep into the FCS playoffs in December so this win looks good.

I’m not super convinced they were a top 10 type team but we really got after their QB, he struggled with pressure.

Great to see us force so many turnovers as well.

If the offense can keep gaining confidence each week we could really be a dark horse MAC team.

North Texas 5-0 and so far we’ve held them to the lowest amount of points out of their 5 games.

Absolutely hate we blew that one.

Would have been a really nice signature win along With Toledo

Exactly my thoughts including is Buckley hurt?

Props to everyone involved in last night’s game! Just a fun game night all the way around. And oh…by the way, so glad we can all enjoy an adult beverage or two at Waldo these days!

He was in uniform on sideline, saw him several times on camera.

Maybe precautionary kept him out.

Defense had 7 sacks, 4 turnovers, held URI to -5 rushing yards.

They're for real.

The defense looked really good

The top FCS teams can knock out solid P4 teams. This is encouraging. Team might be coming together.
