Here's how the two teams stack up statistically with national FCS ranks in parentheses:
I tried to watch the Samford - SELA game but only made it to the end of the third quarter - that just isn't my kind of football, and it's going to make for a long, long game on Friday unless NDSU can dominate the clock.
Quincy Crittendon, their replacement QB, looked surprisingly good both as a passer and runner. He made some beautiful passes.
So…same as vs Montana and UND then? Run for 400+ and score 40+ for a blowout win? Ok, ready break.

Honestly 33-0 vs Georgia is fairly impressive for an FCS. Georgia will probably beat buckeyes, Michigan or TCU by 30
Alright, Samford it is!
Well, another 3-4 D for the Bison to game plan for.
Remember the days when that was tough to do?
The Griz and the Fighting Hawks both had undersized DLines for using a 3-4 D up against the powerful NDSU running attack. At least Samford (11-1) has two 300 lb NT’s to try and slow the Bison down. (6’ 4” 302 + 6’ 2” 320)
