I think NIU might need to use some misdirection plays, screens and such. FSU is too big to run right at, and too fast to try and beat on the sides, so they got to take those assets and use against FSU. Also they need to catch the ball, even if it is a tough catch, they got to make them. Defensively NIU has done pretty good.

Yup drops have been bad so far. Not the easiest plays to make, but if you are going to beat a good team you have to make those catches. They may not have been routine but they were far from impossible.

Physical dominance is starting to be established.

Starting to be?!?!

17-3 not so good now.

NICE TD BY NIU

best onside kick ever

Holy Shnykees! Great onside kick....

Matt Millen is as bad of a commentator, as he was an NFL team manager.

they still hanging in there

NIU just got ripped off by the refs. The knee was clearly down.

Agreed...Just do not understand that call. I am fairly certain if that type of call had gone against FSU the ESPN announcers would have been appalled at the injustice but when it happens to NIU they just gloss right over the call.

The ball was already starting to move when his knee hit. I think it was the correct call. No conclusive evidence to overturn it.

FSU locking this one up now.

FSU didn't even play a great game and still dominated.
