You dont need a stat book to call this game. All you need is faith. SDSU is a solid team, nationally ranked and in the run for the MVFC auto bid. The Jacks are on a 2 year tear, fielding what may be the best teams of a generation.
NDSU is on the skids. 1-5 has been a long time coming, 35 years or so. But this is no 1-5 team. Its a snake bit team. They cant get a break unless its bad. They got no luck if it aint bad luck.
Some of their problems are self made, dropped balls and INTs come to mind. But every kind of misfortune has befallen the Herd. They have very good offense. It functions wonderfully rushing and passing. The OC always seems to have a good game plan and the play calling meets with my approval. It has been getting better.
The defense has given up a lot. Last week UNI finally wore them down and tacked on an extra score, but they did what they needed to do and gave The BISON a chance at the win. They have also been getting better. They are a strong, physical bunch with tremendous speed. They have been susceptible to both the run and the pass, but they have also faced some of the nations top offenses. SDSU is no different.
Its tempting to say close but no cigar, but I feel the extra motivation of the Border Marker and the results of the past couple of years is all its going to take for NDSU to put together the game we have been looking for.
It should be a good game, Its our last shot at a big time opponent. You guessed it. Im taking The BISON!!

Tremendous speed?
Bison pull the upset this week in the the last game that matters for them. SDSU a bubble team after this week, have backs to the wall for rest of conference.

Hilarious...we "tacked on an extra score"....but you don't mention your TD with :27 left?

I think the last 2-3 TDs by both squads were garbage scores. Once it got to 35-20 it was out of reach for SU I thought. Our 'try' left after that it looked like.
Tremendous speed?
