That's the "Cliff's Notes" version. But...yeah.

Summary: That's pretty dang even.
Well, JMU played one team with a winning record in the regular season (Elon, who went on to lose their first round game to Furman.)
Looks to me like NDSU's opps went 93-76 and JMU's went 87-79.
Doesn't matter if JMU is peaking at the right time (or if NDSU turns it over 109 times like the choke rabbits.)
JMU pass defense this, JMU pass defense that...ok. NDSU's pass defense is just as good, if not better.
Book it predictions:
- NDSU 24 - JMU 10.
- Tatemosersneighbor will have an encounter with Frisco/Plano/DFW police.
- JMU fans are going to start complaining Sunday on message boards about "it was ridiculous how the Frisco bars/restaurants/hotels were all about NDSU."
- JUM fans will say "those obnoxious NDSU fans weren't BS'ing about their tailgating."
- Most JMU fans will also say "we played our worst game of the year" while not giving NDSU any credit into forcing them into their worst game of the year.
- NDSU guys will continue to go to Tight Ends and Wild Pitch, and other NDSU guys will call them creepy. This will continue, until forever.
- I will get more pissed off today and tomorrow with every FB, Twitter, and Bisonville update about how much fun everyone is having in Frisco.
- The Bisonville gameday thread will have a couple of people having complete meltdowns and saying "RUN THE DAMN BALL."
When does tailgate lot open?
