I rarely make bets, but I put $20 on NDSU to win outright against Colorado.
Did you see the 1st down pass with the NDSU drive? They didn't stop the clock after the tackle, which cost them the game as they would have had 12 seconds left to score at the 2-yard line.
EDIT: It was good for the Big XII, but I didn't enjoy the bad ending.
You hate to go into officiating, but this game signaled a continuation of crappy officiating from last year. NDSU got hosed on several out-of-bounds plays where NDSU players were thrown down while they were out of bounds. This is Sanders' game of getting in opponents heads, which is familiar from playing OU - use unflagged illegal play to intimidate opponents. Buffs got jobbed on a couple of holding calls.
Do we have speed anywhere fast enough in our secondary to cover Travis Hunter? I had to laugh on the angle an NDSU defender took on tackling Hunter in the open field - the safety took a grossly short angle towards Hunter, I'm not sure I've seen anyone burned as bad as that.
