I originally had this at 28-21 Bison. But after seeing their game I'd say more like reverse that in favor of CSU.
If we're missing a bunch of players this could be a blowout.
We lose this one.
I will say 24-13 Bison but I'll have to wait until Stenehjem audits the final numbers before I can say for sure.

I'm going 24-16 with a defensive/special team TD. Offense does enough. Brock Jensen is at his best, goes 18-25 215 yards TD. Crockett gets about 13 carries for 95 yards(busts a big 30-40 yard run).
For me the better question is how many decleaters Heagle dishes out.
Over/under is set at 1.5
This looks to be another game for Colton Heagle to get heavily involved in stopping their running game. Looks like CSU has a pretty big & athletic back.
There's more athleticism on the CSU roster than I expected to see.
CSU grad, here. Some interesting predictions for the game being posted. Let me just preface my post by saying the only reason I'm over here is some of what is being said here has made it to a CSU message board. So, as a CSU alum, I'd like to give my two cents on the game Saturday. It appears the foundation for your offense is a strong running game, which is interesting because all CU did over the past few weeks was tout their ability to run the ball on us. I will suggest running against the likes of LBs Skelton, Morgan, Shaq Barrett, and MWC defensive player of the week Cory James will be no easy task. That said, I'm not underestimating your run game, it's what propelled your team to last season's FCS title.
How does NDSU look on defense? Our running game is pretty formidable with Rimington Trophy finalist Weston Richburg at C, and RBs Chris Nwoke, Donnell Alexander, and Joe Brown. In the passing game, Grayson is a good game manager. He went 14-21 for 173 yards and 2 TDs. We have some talent in the receiving corps with WRs Marquise Law, Joe Hansley, and Lou Greenwood, and TEs Crockett Gilmore and Kivon Cartwright.
I'm not here to say my Rams are world beaters, but I can promise you Coach Mac is not overlooking NDSU, and will have the fellas ready to play come Saturday. I predict a final score of 27 - 13, CSU.
Welcome to the board. It appears we have similar strengths both offensively and defensively. I think your score is a bit high on the winning side, and I think this game could go either way in 21-17 range. You will be a bit surprised by the level and depth of our talent, speed and size, but we expect yours. That's what has made a difference in our many FBS wins over the last many years. FBS players just can't seem to get over what they think deep down is a lessor opponent/player.
