Nodak78 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I like reading his stuff. You just have to take everything he says with a grain of salt. I think Montana State will finish 4 or 5 in the league this year because they have no defense. Quote

UND-FB-FAN Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 is this a tacit prediction of a UND victory over msu ?Montana State's defense is horrendous. If UND's defense can play against MSU like they did last season in Bozeman, UND will be fine. In fact, because UND is hosting this season's game in the Alerus Center, I would say UND could perhaps play even better defensively against the kitties of Bozeman. Quote

Yes UND beats MSU. I think the conference title comes down to Montana, EWU and UND. Most likely will be a Co-Champion. Quote
ClassB Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I like all the confidence but let's remember day by day. Lol. Quote
Nodak78 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Agree with day by day as well. Bubba drills that home to the players and they seem to take it to heart. you have got to love that. Quote

I think Montana State will finish 4 or 5 in the league this year because they have no defense.I also agree with this. Montana State is reeling and in real trouble. The Bobcats, as of now at least, look like the league's most overrated team. Also, after Saturday's win, I would say UND has the undisputable best defense in the Big Sky at this point in the season.

In fact, because UND is hosting this season's game in the Alerus Center, I would say UND could perhaps play even better defensively against the kitties of Bozeman. Montana State's defense is among the worst I've ever seen. MSU has given up 26 plays of more than 32 yards in the last three weeks and that's with allowing just two against Cal Poly. EWU had 16 plays of more than 29 yards and NAU had 7 yesterday. MSU can't cover anyone and can't tackle either. A few striking stats from my most recent Sunday Notebook:Montana State is giving up 36.5 points and 464 yards per game this season, including 44 points and 526.3 yards per game against Division I opponents. Against Eastern Washington, Cal Poly and NAU, MSU is allowing 287.3 rushing yards per game and 6.1 yards per carry. MSU is also dead last in the Big Sky with a passer efficiency defense rating of 219.1. Edited October 5, 2015 by Colter_Nuanez 1 Quote

SiouxVolley Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 The Big Sky appears weak this year in football.Portland St is a three point favote to get its 2nd FBS win, this time to spoil North Texas's homecoming.An FCS team winning two FBS game in the same season is almost unheard of. 1 Quote
sprig Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Not true. I am actually a University of Montana alum but hold no allegiance in the league. Don't worry about this guy's post, Colter. Many of us would be fine if he stayed away. Quote
UND1983 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Colter is a Montana state guy he can stay off this site for all I care Whatever, the guy comes here to let us know about Big Sky writeups. He is more than welcome. 3 Quote
UND1983 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Let's all slow our roll a little bit. The big boys of the league are coming up and we just lost two of our best defensive players for an unknown amount of time. MSU has finished ahead of us every year and is very dangerous. We need all hands on deck to stay with them. Edited October 5, 2015 by UND1983 Quote

We need all hands on deck to stay with them.Next man up mentality. Most, if not all, of the kids who got banged up against Portland State will not be playing on Saturday vs. Idaho State.Depth and tough, gritty play will be key on Saturday. UND's running game needs to perform big against the porous run defense of Idaho State. Quote
Nodak78 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Running best be solid. 300+ yards on the ground and 4 TD's. 1 Quote

UND's running game needs to perform big against the porous run defense of Idaho State. This should make for an interesting Saturday. Saturday may be the day the offense has to carry the load. Also need a good crowd for Homecoming to make some noise and help out the defense. 1 Quote

UND1983 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Looks like you still have last week's STATS poll in that write-up. Yep, I was going to say that. They are always the last one out so maybe he just grabbed the wrong one. Quote
