Big Sky/Missouri Valley Challenge Week…


EWU 31-41 NDSUThe Bison CBs could struggle, but Eastern's always-suspect run D hasn't been tested yet

Portland St. 34-31 SJSU — Both teams looked disappointing in week 1

San Diego 10-31 Cal PolyCan the Toreros finally play CP close? Probably not…

Soar-egon 24-42 DavisJust like Oregon against Davis, this could be surprisingly tough

Sac State 13-44 FresnoIt's been 10 years since MSU beat an FBS and lost to a DII; can Sac do the same?

Idaho St. 7-56 ColoradoCould another 80-8 loss be possible?

SELU 14-23 SuutahThese two teams combined for 7 points last week

Weber 28-21 SoDak — The forgotten Big Sky/MVFC game

NAU 38-34 Willynois — Both defenses should have their hands full

Montana 24-31 YunieFirst meeting at the UNI-Dome since 1987

Bryant 17-31 Montana St.Good thing for the Bobcats that Bryant isn't as good as SFPA

NoCo 35-30 Abilene Christian — Test #1 for potential Bear relevance

NoDak 17-41 Bowling GreenCan the NoDak defense show some fight against pass-heavy teams?

North Dakota State- I was very impressed by Eastern Wash in week one but it's time to see if they can do it again

San Jose State- PSU struggled in their first game but most teams do. Even so I don't expect the Vikings to go into San Jose and win.

Cal Poly- I think San Diego hangs with the Stangs... for a bout a quarter. Poly wins Big

UC Davis- Davis should cruise here, but I said the same thing about Sacramento State.

Fresno State- Fresno State is not the best team in the FBS. but that wont matter

Colorado- Thus starts the brutal ISU schedule

Southern Utah- T-Bird defense looked solid, can their offense produce?

South Dakota- The last time Weber won an OOC away game was in the 2008 playoffs.

Northern Arizona- One of 2 7 win Big Sky schools slighted for a 6 win WIU team last year. Can NAU improve the Sky's image?

Northern Iowa- Would love nothing more than a Griz win here, but I don't see it.

Montana State- Montana State looked good over Idaho, but then again it was Idaho.

Abilene Christian- The Wildcats played well against Air Force, they win a tight one in their home opener.

Bowling Green- The Hawk defense shows up, but the offense doesn't...again.

I'm not as confident of a NDSU win as you all appear to be. Should be a fun game though, I'll be in the usual seats.

I think EWU has a better chance of beating NDSU than UM does of beating UNI, but there's no fucking way I'm putting that in writing. :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :thumbdown:

UNI routinely beats Iowa St. - they are horrible.

Both teams should have a puncher's chance in these games.

:nod:

NDSU has a better receiving corps on paper and a better QB. I really want to see if both MVFC QB's can throw with efficiency. I hope the issue is forced.

I had Southern Oregon over UC-Davis at first but then changed it. Feeling like the Aggies will pull it out, even if the Raiders are the NAIA defending national champion. Formidable foe for the Aggies for sure.

SOU was upset by EOU in week 1, though.
