They should crack the top 10 this week and with good reason.
Their offense is completely balanced: Half their yards come from their QB passing, and the other half comes from their QB running. DJ Williams is a dude.
They've rushed for just under 1000 yards in their last three games.
For the season, they've averaged 7.1 ypc rushing.
They have what it would take to win in the FargoDome - they start fast and have a very efficient offense and a defense that is #3 in the MVFC statistically.
Toughest test to date. They should have been ranked higher then ISUr.
D-Line will need to play much better, Tackling needs to be better
thank god its a home game not double road
Team adjusts from last week and we blow them out.
This will be a great game. ISUr was the biggest challenge to date this year, now SIU is. Need to play better to win by a comfortable margin.
Predicted score
Bison - 39
Skinny and fast dogs - 22
Hopefully, we're not looking past the Salukis for that big matchup against Stonybrook.
Bison at -17. Not sure how I would bet on that.Quote:

This game will be good! Need a big loud crowd to make a difference!
SIU's opponents have a combined record of 6-20 this season. One of their wins was over 0-5 powerhouse Thomas More (NAIA transitioning to D2). They also beat ISU-B, which touts a non-D1 win on its resume.
Bison win by 2+ scores.
Their QB is putting up similar numbers to Cole----
but no freckin way this game is close-----Bison by 17-21
Went back and looked at the box score from Purdue game. QB was 20 of 33 passing for 202 yds and 19 yds on 17 carries. 1 passing Td.
We would beat Perdue, so we should go through these guys like creamed corn through a baby.Quote:

Here's an idea GO FBS so every game isn't 38-10
He rushed for 24 yards on their first drive (a TD drive) and SIU scored with ease on their first two drives vs Purdue. Not sure what happened after that, but he got sacked for -26 yards. Vinson Davis III, a WR, was their leading rusher.Quote:

any ticket update? wish I could go to this one, might be a barn burner.
Just hope it doesn't burn down scotties meth barn
87/131 = 44.8%Quote:

If you were a punter why the hell would you ever come to NDSU? If im Aaron Bickerton I'm entering the portal as soon as I can. I'd be pissed if I were him and demand they run him out there at least a few possessions this weekend.
