NDSU v UNI Score Prediction Thread

[heffray]

I've heard a lot about how this might be a close game. While I agree that UNI will be the best team we face from here on out, and that they do have a chance to beat us, I think it is very unlikely that they will come within 14 points of us, as long as our Offense protects the football.

For perspective, lets look at the offense we faced last week and compare them to UNI:

SDSU Offense (Week 5):
Points Per Game 28.8
FIRST DOWNS 93
RUSHING YARDAGE 839
PASSING YARDAGE 1096
TOTAL OFFENSE 1935
PENALTIES-Yards 27-255
TIME OF POSSESSION/Game 29:08
3RD-DOWN Conversions 22/66

UNI Offense (Week 5):
Points Per Game 35.0
FIRST DOWNS 78
RUSHING YARDAGE 808
PASSING YARDAGE 905
TOTAL OFFENSE 1713
PENALTIES-Yards 23-213
TIME OF POSSESSION/Game 30:40
3RD-DOWN Conversions 21/51

So, UNI has a whole touchdown difference on their points per game, but they are less of a potent offense in every other category. This means they probably have more big strike plays, and the Tampa-2 that the Bison plays is specifically designed not to let that up. Plus our defense is just freaking awesome.

The wild card is our offense. If they play like last week, I think UNI's defense is much better than SDSU's, so are not likely to put up 20. However, if Brock plays like he is capable of, we can easily put up 30, I think, especially in the dome.

Therefore, my score prediction is Bison 34, UNI 9. We hold the Pansies to just 3 field goals.

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

41-10 just have a good feeling about this game (DEF/ST) both getting it into the endzone--close for a quarter (maybe)

[Bison03]

It seems like every time we think the game will be a good close game and be withing 7 points, the Bison prove us wrong. SDSU this year, Younstown and Sam Houston last year, Lehigh and Sam Houston the year before that. I think that is will be a tight game at halftime but then the TOP gets in out favor, the Rams do their thing, and are conditioning wears them down. As long as we can avoid big mistakes that cost us points we are in good shape.

Bison: 24
Pulple Pansies: 10

20 - 6 Bison. I think the 35 yard line makes two solo tackles. One on a wide open wide receiver and one on the QB resulting in just two field goals. Bison have one XP blocked.

The Bison will pound the hell out of UNI. Not even close. At home, The HERD wins by 24. UNI is stunned......Farley cries at the presser.......UNI finishes the season as a whipped pup.

[bisoningrandforks]

Bizun....27.......panzies.....17

[NDSU '96]

A 10pt game going into the 4th qtr turns into a comfortable win. 27-7 Bison.

LOL....you made one of these predictions last year, about the same score. Good call.

UNI will not come close to 34 points....

[Bison03]

So we all know last week, official measurement of 4 yards is a Zenner. What will be the official measurement of a "Johnson." (Why do I have a feeling many, many dick jokes may result from this question).

[BISONBRI53]

34-17 Bison...Garbage TD at the end for UNI.

3 inches or 8 if you ask my wife.

Will be a lot like the blowout with then #3 Youngstown last year. But I will take a touchdown from us and give to them.

[TateMosersneighbor]

Lotsa feeling out by both coaches...close to the vest, field position battles...crowd is quiet and gentle all game..

Takes a pick Zenner plus 2 by Dudzik...but the Bison pull it out 21-20

I like it!!!

Bison win by at least 2 TDs.

[A1pigskin]

Never would I thought this game would be determined by 1 point.

[1998braves64]

I think this will be the toughest team we play in the regular season, including KSU. It will be a nail bitter.

I have a couple thoughts on the game.

1. NDSU did everything they possibly could to lose the game and still won.
2. UNI has to be feeling sick to their stomachs.

[gumby013]

Youngstown tries to come in WWE royal rumble style with a folding chair and claim the belt, but the Bison still win 31-3 over UNI.

So, did Youngstown storm the field with folding chairs? If not, my entire prediction was crap.
