Indiana State (0-3) at #18 S. Dakota State (1-0) In a laugher... a monumental laugher
Austin Peay (1-1) at Illinois State (0-2) I-State has looked almost as bad as the "other" I-State in the MVFC
Murray State (1-1) at Missouri State (1-1)
Wagner (1-1) at North Dakota State (0-2) I feel like the Bison may take their 0-2 start out on Wagner
St. Francis (Pa.) (1-1) at #3 UNI (1-1) This one should be over by the end of Q1
Southwest Baptist (0-3) at #8 Southern Illinois (0-1) Same here
Stephen F. Austin (1-1) at Western Illinois (1-1)
Youngstown State (1-1) at Northeastern (0-2)

Indiana State (0-3) at #18 S. Dakota State (1-0) - SDSU is good, real good. They win real big.

Austin Peay (1-1) at Illinois State (0-2) - AP didn't look that bad against YSU. They should be able to win @ ILSU.

Murray State (1-1) at Missouri State (1-1) - Missouri State by 2 scores.

Wagner (1-1) at North Dakota State (0-2) - NDSU gets win #1 easily at home.

St. Francis (Pa.) (1-1) at #3 UNI (1-1) - Another win by 40+ points.

Southwest Baptist (0-3) at #8 Southern Illinois (0-1) - How are they #8 again? Marshall is no Iowa, but I digress, SIU wins big!

Stephen F. Austin (1-1) at Western Illinois (1-1) - Best matchup of them all on the list I think. WIU looked good at Sam Houston State, and I like them to win their home opener here. SFA and WIU are right behind eachother in the 'receiving votes column' of the FCS Coaches Poll.

Youngstown State (1-1) at Northeastern (0-2) - Historically, YSU never plays well in Boston, but they win this one by 2-3 scores. It is a must-win if they want to make it to the playoffs.

[SUUTbird]

-Indiana State 3 at #18 S. Dakota State 42: Sickamores woes continue this time at the hands of a great SDSU team.

-Austin Peay 14 at Illinois State 28: The Redbirds had a rough start but i think they will be able to handle AP at home.

-Murray State 14 at Missouri State 21: This game is kinda tough to call as Murray state hasnt played an FCS opponent yet, i give the Bears the nod due to home field advantage.

-Wagner 7 at North Dakota State 35: The Bison vent their frustration of two tough losses on the Seahawks.

-St. Francis (Pa.) 24 at #3 UNI 49: Panthers beat up on a better Red Flash team, but still it will be ugly for the boys from PA.

-Southwest Baptist at #8 Southern Illinois: Yawn...SIU in a blowout, no need to put the score down.

-Stephen F. Austin 21 at Western Illinois 31: SFA will learn quickly that they arent playing Texas College

-Youngstown State 31 at Northeastern 7: The Guins will win as the Huskies woes continue to build.

SUU, where in the hell are you getting the idea St. Francis puts 24 up on UNI?

[JayJ79]

I wish all MVFC teams luck and will be pulling for them to win.
(well, okay, I can't say I'm pulling for Indiana State to win, as that might be a bit too much to ask, and I'd like to see the Jackrabbits continue to climb in the polls. but I wish the Sycamores luck in making a game of it)

UNI must not have been very fired up for the game, only 30 point win, but a shutout at least.

Agreed. Offense was sloppy. Holding on a 2nd and 1 from their 6 forced a FG. QB past the line on a TD pass. etcetcetc

That illegal forward pass call confused me.
Well, not the call itself, because PG was clearly over the line.

But they didn't mark off any yardage for the penalty. Is it really only loss-of-down for that penalty, and no yardage walked off? Not that the 5 yards would have made a difference. Either way, the TD was called back, and we ended up missing the FG on that drive anyway.
