Re: GDT: NDSU vs. James Madison (FCS National Championship)
Finally, the day has arrived where the NDSU Bison get the opportunity to prove once again that they are the best in the land of FCS football.
I got the opportunity to watch most of JMU's game and all of NDSU's games. Both are very talented teams. However, only one faced quality competition most of the season. Say all you want about the CAA, but it lacks the quality and physicality that the MVFC has. Granted, there are a few not-so-good teams in the MFVC, but the conference is loaded with talent compared to the CAA. This is where JMU is going to run into major issues today against NDSU, their CAA competition didn't prepare them to deal with a team that is loaded, both offense and defense, with talent. The same can be said with the three teams they faced in the playoffs. Monmouth didn't have much for defense, but had a really good RB on offense (his speed was an issue for them). UNI fared well against JMU, but without an offense, they were in trouble to begin with. Weber State is team with a pretty decent defense, but has an offense that struggled a lot this season. Not one of these teams is comparable to NDSU.
I see this going NDSU's way with the Bison defeating the Dukes 31-16 to close out this chapter known as 2019 Bison Football in a book full of program success.
Stay Focused, Stay Hungry and Stay Humble!!!

31-17. Watson has another big game, run game is good enough.

Crappy weather will play a big role today. Fourth quarter dominance could be the difference. NDSU 24. JMU 16

I think the bad weather hurts us more than them.
