2017 Season Predictions

[A1pigskin]

9-2; however, if the offense impresses me on Saturday then 10-1. SDSU could be the one we lose. Eastern Washington will be close but I think the Bison win by a field goal.

10-1 and another deep playoff run.

You think if the offense impresses you on Saturday that means a lot? Doh'k.

There's way to much fear of SDSU on this post. Guys, they were a few seconds of being 0-2 in Fargo last year, and when was the last time they played NDSU tough at home? Yes, they have a few good players on offense, but it's not like we have chopped liver for defensive players. Honestly, I don't think SDSU has as good of a season this year.

I hope the offense impresses against one of the worst Fcs teams from last season

Exactly... and in Quarters 2-4 of last year's playoff game vs. SDSU, the Bison seemed to have figured out a way to shut them down. In addition, the game is in November, will weather impact SDSU's offense?

As for JMU, and their ability "repeat" -- I honestly don't see it happening. Repeating as National Champion requires the right team chemistry... these suspensions of JMU players indicate to me that JMU may not have what it takes. A key metric for me will be their ability to win their FBS game against ECU -- a defending FCS champ should win that game.

Totally agree. Also, everyone seems to be predicting this game as a loss since SDSU is clearly the toughest game on our schedule. When was the last time we lost to the tough teams on our schedule? We almost exclusively win the tough games, and slip up with a head scratcher somewhere. This team is LOADED folks. I would never predict a loss when the Bison are clearly be amped up for a game, as will be the case here. Maybe a loss to WIU as a random letdown game(...maybe), but I doubt we drop one vs the Jacks. Look at their 2 deep and tell me with a straight face that they can compete with our depth in the 2nd half. Umm no. Power off tackle is going to eat their lunch.

What an expectation we have set. Defending FCS champ should be winning FBS games.

Last year, SDSU.

Totally agree as well. If I'm not mistaken, I believe we had a 17-3 lead in the 3rd quarter with the ball in our possession in the regular season game. SDSU has their big 3 on offense and that's about it. DeLuca will control that QB run.

Last year, SDSU.

You are seriously not calling SDSU our toughest game last year....
