Official NDSU v JMU Championship 2.0 Speculation Thread

[X-Factor]

I remember Robbie Grimsley having a rough start too.

Yes. As a true freshman.

Sooo when ndsu is favored with a bunch of freshmen and sophomore and juniors being impact players, it's safe to say if they win this one that theyll win the next 2 quite easily.

I think of this year like 2011, except no specific reference other than class youth

Unbeatable combination.

Me either but I'm also super-duper-stitious and they've beat JMU both times they've played them wearing yellow jerseys and lost to them the only time they've played them wearing green jerseys....

Revenge of the Green Jerseys!

Betting lines in Vegas continue to trend towards JMU... every sports book with the game on their board now has JMU favored with the consensus being JMU -1.5. Westgate just bumped their spread out to JMU -2.5.

I feel like Mr Burns watching these lines continue to move in favor of JMU...



Not that our guys need any motivation for this kind of game but they haven't had that underdog chip on their shoulders since September 2016 in Iowa City.

Serious question...do the players pay attention to the beating spreads?

I doubt they're watching them at all but I think more things get to their ears that you'd think when it could be perceived as a slight against them. Prior to the semis there were plenty of people scoffing at the fact that Choate's comments about FCOA meant anything other than trying to rile up his administration and boosters but that got to the players' ears.

To be an underdog against an FCS opponent for the first time in 8 years (I think - could be wrong) while you're on a FCS record winning streak is noteworthy I'd say.

Unsure if they pay attention to any beating spreads even if there is such a thing. Being portrayed as underdogs however will be used as motivation.

I certainly hope the players find out.
