My season prediction - 

LIU = W 33-10    Offense shows some flashes while working out new bugs and timing but you can see the power is there. 

St T = W 44-21   Offense shows more consistency and blows up St T early allowing 2nd stringers many 2nd half reps. 2nd string D gives up some late points

Portland = W 52-7 Offense is rolling with only a few self made mistakes slowing them down from scoring every possession. 2nd stringers get a few and D has things tightened up. Team is rolling going into the big week. 

Neb = L 27-20 Offense makes some red zone mistakes otherwise UND couldve been up by 3 scores, and Neb scores late to pull ahead and win in a well fought game. 

Ind State = W 34-21 Offense and defense play off game but UND is still too good of a team to lose even during their worst against Ind State. 

Murray = W 48-17 Offense finds their stride again and scores at will. Danny has Jerry squared away on red zone decision making and forcing throws. D racking up sacks and TFL at record pace 

UNI = W 38-10 Offense is hit and miss and has a bit of an off game yet still find the end zone 5 times to keep things rolling. 

SDSU = L 27-24 tight last minute loss to a good team that UND proved to be better than but couldnt pull it off. Eye opener first FCS loss to a top 2 opponent after being 6-1 and ranked high. Pollers drop UND 15 spots despite only losing 1 FCS game and it being a top 2 team. Motivates the hell out of UND

USD = W 42-7 Payback game. Leaving no doubt UND is a top 3 team. 

YSU = W 30-21 score looks closer than it was with late YSU score. UND controlled the game but had a tough time putting up points but finally snuck away a W in a close one.

Ill St = W 52-24 high scoring shoot out but UND's offense couldnt be stopped

S Ill = W 35-7 healthy D line digs their heels in and proving they're ready for the playoffs with a season finale blowout of a ranked opponent. 

UND ends up 10-2 with only 1 FCS loss and gets seeded for playoffs only behind MSU and SDSU. Griz surprisingly suck and end the season 6-6 missing the playoffs.

Pretty good, but don’t agree entirely. 
UND won’t lose at home (including playoffs this season) - UND will beat the rabbits from Brookings. 

As for game in Lincoln vs Nebraska…Travel down or tune in…

Booked hotel room last night for Lincoln NE... they sure know how to jack prices up on gameday... oh well, worth the trip for us winning the game!   

Seemed slim pickings for rooms as well...  better get on it if you're going down.

If we see improvement on both lines over last year, depth included, I think we see 10 wins. Good class to start the new 5 in 5 rule.
