I know NDSU has a good ground game but NDSU needs to look at the rushing yardage that UNI gives up. It could be a LONG day for NDSU

Thanks, again.
Southern Utah had a good performance, but there's tough competition this week with CP's win over South Dakota State & UC Davis's shockingly close game with Boise.

They have an o-line that can run block and a good RB, and they scored once on SIU's D. Very long day.
