If that forecast holds true, it will be interesting to see the stats for the two offenses.
Since Coastal was able to put the smack on the Griz last year in Missoula I'm not too worried!
A good O will typically shine in these kind of conditions over a weak D. The offense knows where they are going to go, cut, break off, etc. so the defenders are always playing catchup and if your LB's don't make the right reads and your corners turn the wrong way and your safeties don't take the right angle the first time, expect the better offense to n run up some big numbers in the snow. IMHO I think we will see SDSU run for many Zenners and pass the for a few more. My hopes of the Backouts coming to the Fargodome will be dashed.
SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier on NDSU intro video: "This is not meant to be North Dakota State's home game."
The weather is no excuse. These are both northern teams who should know how to deal with it. Go Bobcats!
"North Dakota State is a big part of the fabric of college football right now."
"North Dakota State is alive on the college football map."

If MSU is healthy SDSU might not be a bad match up for them. SDSU does not have a great DL but if MSU doesn't have their QB it is going to be hard for them to win regardless of SDSU's mediocre run defense. Their back up is just not that good but their starter is the kind of player that has given SDSU issues. No clue on the third string guy.
Where you beat MSU is on the lines, I remember our DL just abusing their great QB when we played them in 2010. Griz DL also abused their back up last week. If you aren't getting pressure though MSU's offense is capable of putting up some points in hurry. SDSU is last or second to last in the MVFC in sacks.
