Should be a high scoring affair with two average defenses.  UND 31-26.

[ChrisUND1]

Horns down.  LFG.  

[Wilbur]

I'd say it's about time we beat the Bizen.

Attack mentality Bubba.  Please.

[Oxbow6]

If I had to set an early betting line....NDSU -5

 eeesh 

let’s just hope the players are ready to go. Fans will be, I know… they’ll get the team ready to go at least.

the less bubba has to do with this game the better imo

[SiouxFan100]

So much payback buildup to su fans. It would be heavenly! Please Please

[SWSiouxMN]

Its time.

 

[F'n Hawks]

This will be Bubbas biggest game as a head coach excluding playoffs. If he doesn’t win this one… 

[UND Football Fan]

1993 we got over the hump, I’m hoping History repeats 30 years later and we do it again in 2023!

[Wilbur]

Senior QB in his building.  Probably not as important to Tommy that he beats NDSU as it was to a certain Shannon Burnell 30 years ago, but let's go Tommy.....

[Shawn-O]

Will be in the building for this one and hoping for a field stormer.

1953 - Started a streak of 12 straight wins over NDSU

1993 - Broke the streak of 12 straight loses to NDSU

2003 - Last win against NDSU

2023 - Break the streak of 5 straight loses to NDSU and we get our first FCS win against the Bison!  LFG!!

HORNS DOWN!!!

NDSU wins by 21. 

2 picks and a fumble or two fumbles and a pick. I see it being similar to the SDSU game.

After the SDSU game I was less confident about how we would do against NDSU, but I don't see them beating us by 21. I think it's a toss up game at this point. We are at home which is good, but we haven't won a big game in forever.

That sounds about right.

I doubt NDSU allows two upsets.

Well, he did win the toss today and took the ball, so maybe there is hope.

[SiouxFan100]

We win this one

GFH

[Nodak78]

I have a positive feeling on this game.  Win this game and we have potential to set up for a home seed.

[AJS]

There are some games that are so big that they can change the narrative for a program. This is another “big game” opportunity. 
 

My prediction? Until they actually win a game like this, most likely outcome is NDSU rolls. Whatever your worst case scenario for this game is how it’ll end up.

[forksandspoons]

Let’s go hawks!! Play clean and win the turnover battle and get that W!

Why I’d double down on this. Take the UND perspective out. Let’s look at this from an NDSU point of view. IF they lost this game. 2 FCS losses, before they go to Brookings / Cedar Falls. We’re talking a very good chance of no seed / playing on Thanksgiving weekend. 
 

A UND win would not only vault UND up a tier, but also knock NDSU down a tier. We’re talking a decade + of frustrations gone. 
 

Am I off base here? That’s why UND winning seems virtually impossible.
