Sac goes 4-7 and won’t have to worry about who they’re playing in the playoffs.
I’ll take that bet.
Our question is at QB, but Taylor has some studs competing for it. We'll easily beat AZ's 4-7 prediction if we stay healthy. And I didn't even mention Dotson returning.

Taylor, like Beau Baldwin is a QB whisperer.

That and 6-5 aren't easily. Have to be 7-4 or better to meet the easily standard.

which was kind of my point when I told him to make a prognostication. "easily" implies they'll have 4 wins by mid-point of the season or something to that effect.

Covering is covering, what difference does it make when it happens? Last time I checked the monkies in the sports cage in Vegas don't withhold your winning ticket if the covering happens "too late in the season". :coffee:

And when I have time to pour over the roster and schedule I'll make a more refined prediction. But for now we'll stick with the Hornets easily covering 4 wins. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

Took a look at our roster. Offensively we'll be stacked, defense has some question marks. We should win at least 8 games (barring a rash of injuries on the offensive side), even a hiccup at 7 still crushes your crap ass prediction. :coffee:

I'd move Southwest Missouri State up one and have UNI tied with ISUr for 6th.

We have alot to prove and several pieces that need to be worked out (QB and offense are the main ones) before we can move up.

I don't know if this is a portent of anything, but at the Stockton-Edison at Lodi game last night, an Edison fan showed up in an NDSU sweatshirt. I ran Sac State smack on him. He didn't seem all that impressed.

LOL....

I wish him the best but I wasn't impressed with him as a QB (he did seem like a good teammate) in the spring. Is South Carolina hard up for a QB?

Desperate times I guess. This will be his third DI team he's played for. Has anyone ever done that before?

Yes, they are. Their intended starter is out with an injury, and nobody else on the roster had any FBS experience. They DO have an FCS transfer from St. Francis, the only other QB on the roster who has thrown a college pass. This Zeb, though, not only has his time at NDSU, he also has starts at Iowa State.

He would be lucky to be the #4 QB at NDSU this year, behind a Va Tech transfer, a Freshman, and Cam Miller.

It's fine where it's at. We will have a better idea in the next few weeks on how good our QB is, and therefore the team.
