NDSU defense=dumpster fire.  Add to the equation they have 0 offense outside of Miller.  Most overrated team in FCS Top 25.  Very good chance by mid October they are 3-5 including 0-4 in the Valley.

thanks for the jinx....

That’s a bridge too far but they won’t run the valley table either.

Based off history and tradition yes that may be a bridge too far.  Based off current play no it isn't.  Their defense has more gaping holes than a broken dam and can't stop anyone and get any pressure on the QB hence through 4 games they have 1 sack if even that and their run defense is giving up 200 a game.  Can't stop the run, can't run the ball and have no deep threats.   Mediocrity has hit Bisonville my friends.  Entz was right to get out of their when he did.

They are in that spot because of Entz. Was hoping he would stick around

NDSU leads redbirds 14-7 at the half.

[SiouxFan100]

Idaho state down 17-7 at the half to Montana state 

[Sioux94]

Just turned on USD game. 42 points through 3 quarters and didn't punt once. Let's see what our offense does next week after a week off against the same team.  

[Sioux94]

Montana down 13-3 at half at home against NAU.....didn't see a 3 point first half coming in that one!

[ND-fan]

Valley conference the top 3 look to be class of FCS football and would not be surprised two of the 3 will be in Frisco. Und and Illinois state appear to be slightly behind but for FCS football would be class of number FCS conferences. Montana State right now seems to be in conversation with the 3 of the Valley.  The Valley and Big Sky are dominating FcS football.
If this continues you will see other FCS schools will want to lower scholarships and  put in other restriction to balance power in FCS. The top teams in Big Sky and Valley are coming to point if they want to stay at this level of competition they will need to move to FBS but there is not many openings or willingness of conferences from absorbing these  schools by expanding existing conferences. I think time is coming instead of some top teams thinking they will be able jump ship by themselves they need to work as group to put new conference for FBS together.  I know I am only one promoting this but I believe this is as critical to future for the program is as all things people are worried about the program now. Otherwise it’s division II football all over again and maybe we still be allowed at division I level for all other sport maybe. Only other way mean dropping football to stay at division I level.

I never trust USD but they look legit

NDSU will be exposed for the frauds they are next week on national television.

Your predictions have gone well so far, I’m sure you’re correct on this one too.

[Sioux94]

Not FCS but Ohio State screwed up and didn't take a timeout on the positive side of the two minute warning. Cost them 4 seconds....which would have been enough for them to had time for a FG attempt for the win.

Define what you’ll accept as “exposed” before the game so you don’t move the goal posts afterward.

Should Montana state be rated higher than ndsu and how far should Idaho drop

Idaho should take a big hit.  Next week will be interesting in Fargo.  Bobcats are for real.

Well fellow Bison fan.... SDSU is going to whoop us next week.  I see no other outcome.

Its going to be SDSU #1 in Frisco,  and USD vs NDSU for the other spot.

At the risk of repeating myself, define whoop. I see sdsu winning, but I see a 10–14 point win. I don’t see that as a whooping or being “exposed”.

Millers ankle might get exposed as structurally insufficient I guess

NDSU losing by 14 is getting whooped in my book.  Its going to take a few years to recover from Entz and lets face it, Cole in not the guy.

Were in for a rough patch.

A 14 point loss is whooped? I guess we’ll just have to agree to have different definitions of that word.

I wouldn’t count out Montana state vs usd to go to frisco 

depends on how high ndsu is rated for home field

USD is unproven as a top team to me. They’ve looked good, I agree, but I can’t look at a single win they have that proves they are legit yet.

Agree, hanging with Wisconsin is probably their best game so far. I do think they are good, but to know for sure if they are legit....won't know until they go to SDSU. You guys playing at USD the last game of the season will be a huge game for top playoff seedlings.
