I’m just asking for a fun game. Don’t get blown out. With our running game, I don’t see that happening. Excited. Let’s kick some bison tush!

No moral victories. If you ain’t first, you’re last! Gonna be tough to win in Fargo, but this is why you lift all them weights (paging new S&C coach) … big game, tough game, huge opportunity. All you can ask for.

I'd guess it will be around 10 with the home field advantage for NDSU. 

O/U probably in the 50's somewhere.

If SU opens up as a double digit favorite that will be more about the perception about UND...not NDSU. The wise guys just aren't buying UND at this point.

I'm thinking 9.5

Need to be prepared to win in Fargo.  UND can get it done.

I'm sure this will come up via Tom M. this week but how many times have both teams been ranked in the top 10 when they've played? 

[HoopsFan03]

I wonder what Dom's score prediction will be

A win in Fargo is an upset, let's be honest.  The only team that can go in there & win, and have it not be an upset is SDSU.  At home I would expect UND to battle them for four quarters and win.

But in the antiquated 1990-themed Fargodome I do not expect a win but I sure think they can win with a very well played game.

Really?  William & Mary, Tarleton St., Incarnate Word, Lamar, Mercer, Wofford and the list goes on.

I keep hearing this. 

We'll find out Saturday.

We're 4-1 thanks in large part to a good crowd for a Bobby Hauck brain fart and a stretch of soft competition.  A lot of that is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered for a team with newcomers at key positions on the field and on the sidelines.  Have they gelled enough to find a way in Fargo?  I have my doubts...but they have a great opportunity to change my mind!

Need steady QB play...great run blocking to chew up clock...and the d has to find ways to get off the field and at least make NDSU earn their points.  Until we actually go into the Dome and win in the D1 era I'll never be confident...but this team is fully capable!

Unfortunately in my objective mind it's also capable of being rolled too...

Either way...let's flip the script and kick the snot out of em!

Let's just not do the thing where we miss an extra point or give up a TD on a long throw into double coverage.

Or letting a fullback run crazy on A gap power over and over and over again.

Wouldn't mind us taking a shot or two when they throw a ton of bodies into the box.  

This week will tell us a lot about Simon as well.  A big spot for him.

This Simon and the defense.  I think Bo has a big day.  Not sure the DBs can stop Bo.

[Parkers Pros]

Offensively I think Simon has to have his best game. Need Sawyer to make big plays both on kick offs to shorten the field and some long runs. And just get a meat and potatoes day out of our other two running backs. They do and we control the time of possession. Would also be a good time to see our tight ends get more involved in the offense. It seems like they were trying a little bit more last week. Lastly need to see Caden Dennis or Nate D get loose after Bo opens some space for them as a decoy to run under one. How about a Kory Tai, don’t know how to spell his name, package for this game.
Defensively we need to stay disciplined. We need to tackle in space. We cannot allow Cam Miller to take the game over with his legs. Stopping them will be difficult at home. But if we can hold them to some field goals that keeps us in the game, waiting for those opportunities to make a big play either with a turnover or two or with a special teams play. We need a big day out of our defense line. If they help control the line of scrimmage, we have a legit shot. I think it’s gonna be a tall task to win in Fargo, but I feel better about this team doing it than any other since they’ve gone division one.

[Oxbow6]

In the last 2 games Bo has roughly 50% of all UND passing yards on 4 catches.

Bo knows Football.  He will be just fine in the Dome.  He is not a decoy.

[siouxfan512]

Isn't Romfo 3-0 in the Fargo Dome?

NDSU won't let Bo get open by 10-15 yards for a couple easy throws for big yard TD plays. 

Expand  

If we can force their safety (#29) in for run support and play action Bo, he will be open by 10-15 yds.  He's slower than my grandma.

[jdub27]

Mattress Miller is going to have 15+ carries. Need to limit his yards.

We cannot afford any dropped interceptions-given the chance we need to make the play

Or dropped passes by our WR's. Offense and defense both need to capitalize on big plays when they are there for the taking. No missed sacks that turn into 40 yard Touchdown type of things. Need a great tackling day!
