Massey could be right, but he had us wrong as far as getting in the NCAA's during the last week of regular season (most of us included). This could be a good match up. Bison are very strong against the run, but could be vulnerable against EWU's passing game? EWU's defense is going to be vulnerable to the running game. 

Will SU contain EWU QB.  If he can move free he can make plays or find receivers down field.  I think this is match up is the best chance to beat the Bison.  Not likely but certainty possible.

EWU beat Maine (50-19) that knocked out Weber State which was on of two losses EWU had, the other being Wash St - also on the road. EWU was the last team to win the FCS (2010 season) before this run by our friends to the south. 

NDSU didn’t happen to play any FBS teams, in fact they only played 4 games outside of the Manure Pit. That brings up a very interesting fact, which helps bring alumni back to Fargo for the games, and another reason why fans want so many home games. They go Home Depot shopping before the games: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Black-Kow-50-lb-Composted-Cow-Manure-BLKCOW/202287053 .  Can't live with out the stuff.

Jacksonville won two years ago.  EWU is winning with the backup QB.  He has improving every week.  I look forward to this game.  If EWU wins Bisonville will melt down losing a championship to the team that "STOLE" the semi from the turds in 2010.

James Madison U in Virginia ?   Eagles lost their longtime star quarterback Gubrud to injury early in the year, but Barriere has played brilliantly in relief.

The game will be Jabril Cox vs Barrier. Both incredible athletes. Should be fun to watch.

NDSU will win by 3 scores.  I’d love to be wrong but I don’t see anyone beating them.

EWU v. NDSU will be determined by who sets the tempo. 

If, somehow (as in 10% chance of happening), EWU gets their track-meet tempo going they could simply race past NDSU. NDSU isn't used to playing from behind and surely not having to pass, a lot, playing catch-up. Possible? Yes. However ... 

Much more likely is that NDSU plays a game that keeps the EWU defense on the field and wears them out. Meanwhile the EWU offense is watching from the sidelines and not establishing any rhythm. 

Massey says EWU has a 1 in 6 chance (16%). I'd agree with that with most of that chance being tempo (see above) and the rest being NDSU having a rare, unexpected off day. 

EWU vs NDSU will be determined by NDSU running all over EWU’s soft defense.

NDSU by multiple scores ...

I think I said as much in the paragraph that begins "Much more likely ..."

Championship??  I know the swearing rule so HOLYCRAP!!  What are they selling??

[The Sicatoka]

So another QB, this Gresch Jensen fellow, headed to Texas State ... interesting. 

Think he and QB Case from Lincoln will be roomies?

Jensen was committed to Texas State before Case flipped, apparently he enjoyed playing for Stitt in Montana a few years ago. Jensen will be eligible to play right away as a junior with 2 years left to play.

So my question is, do you guys really want qb rejects, or develop your own talent?

I'm not sure you're following along, both of those players will be attending Texas State.

I really enjoy the irony in this comment after NDSU picked up an ISU transfer today and didn't didn't get a LOI from the high school QB that was committed (possibly going to KSU with Klieman?).

Haven't you heard? NDSU isn't losing any recruits.  Everyone wants to play there.  Even over K-State!
