How long has it been since we got a pass interference call. I mean before the one Lazard got today.

NDSU had one on Lazard the week before. In Big 12 play, you'd have to go back to the 1st conference game of the year and Texas. However, Bundrage still made that catch so we declined it. For the last one we accepted, go back to last game of 2012 vs. West Virginia, also drawn by Bundrage. By my rough count it was 13 calls in a row against us vs. zero for us. For the last one drawn by some one other than Bundrage you have to go back to mid-2012 when Chris Young drew one against Oklahoma.

That is just silly if your facts are accurate.

They are accurate. I remember lamenting the fact that we didn't have a single accepted defensive pass interference penalty against an opponent. I chalked it up to our refusal to challenge DB's by throwing anything more than an 8 yard out route. Good things happen when you chuck the ball around and let your WR's make plays. Bad things can happen too, but you have to stretch defenses and make them defend the pass.
