Destin Talbert made one of the biggest plays in Fargodome history that helped send North Dakota State back to Frisco, Texas. With James Madison facing a 3rd&6 at the NDSU 7-yard line with 3:06 left in the instant classic, the senior cornerback soared through the air to somehow intercept the Dukes All-America quarterback Cole Johnson. The turnover sent an already electrified home crowd into overdrive as the Bison used one last defensive stand moments later in the game's closing seconds to secure an epic 20-14 win. 

The game saw a back-and-forth second half, and a series of big plays, none bigger than Talbert's pick that will be talked about in NDSU circles for decades.  Hunter Luepke scored both Bison touchdowns, and Jake Reinholz banged home a pair of field goals, to give the Herd an edge over a Duke's team stymied by the Code Green defense. The Bison held JMU to a season-low in points and yardage. The win punched NDSU's ticket back to Frisco for the ninth time in 11 years. Swany is joined by former NDSU defensive lineman and West Fargo High School basketball coach Adam Palczewski to talk about one of the most memorable games in school history. 

The guys talk about how critical NDSU's culture has been in sustaining a championship level program going back to the 1960s, and why Bison fans need to enjoy moments like this.
