Official prediction: we run for an obscene amount of yards, win by a lot and I start a post game thread that starts with Easton Stick is the best QB in the FCS.

Bison WILL cover the spread on this one. Will it get us back in top 30? Probably not, either way we roll in this one 42-7 Good guys

What’s the spread today? I didn’t think there was any way we’d cover a 35+ point spread against YSU. Were I a gambling man, I’d have plunked down a lot of money on it.

[WeAreThePride]

The defense hasn’t pitched a shutout yet this year. I’d love to see a good, solid 35-0 game.

[Son of a Bison]

24-6. Easton is a stud.

Domination personified.

Bison: 42
Baby Bears: 10

[Christopher Moen]

Went and watched the Missouri State-Southern Illinois game from a few weeks ago since their SDSU game didn't make it to ESPN. As with their game against Illinois State, they're a scrappy bunch with a solid receiving corp. Nothing too special, but they have heart. With that said, this is what I hope to see today:

1) No injuries, regardless of team.
2) Bison victory.
3) NDSU receivers trying their best to catch everything. I'm fairly confident this is their last game outdoors and the perfect environment to prepare for the possibility of playing in Frisco in early January.
4) The Bison Offense has over 500 yards of offense (300 minimum via rushes), while the defense holds the Bears under 200 yards.
5) The game is in hand (NDSU's favor) and the starters are out by the fourth quarter.

My prediction is a Bison victory by the score of 40-7.
