heffray’s Game Notes:
- Betting line (care of https://madduxsports.com/college-football-lines.php, thank you, TSCF!…) : NDSU -31.5, O/U 54.5
- I think the Racers make some noise with some talent at QB, RB, and TE, so maybe a score in the first half this time, but otherwise this should not be a whole lot different than the WIU game…
- Need to see more of what we saw last week on Offense with controlled, methodical drives, and more QB under center (minimal designed QB runs)
- Still need to see big improvements in tackling, pass rush, and run stopping… Our linebackers need to play like they know where they should be and then they should be there and make plays…
- I’ll be looking for us to to beat the spread and the Over on total points and that’s what I’m going with for a prediction…
- Bison 48, Racers 14

Another chance for young guys to get reps. LBs need to go full DeLuca on the Racers.

Bison 45, Racers 6.

[NDSU92]

I don’t think we’ve shown to have the discipline and leadership to completely bury two bad teams in a row. I think this goes slightly better than Indy State last year.

It will really depend on whether Murray State is coming to play to win and take the initiative or are they just content to get in, take in the experience and leave. WIU had absolutely 0 fight in them.

I’ll round out my neo-boomer pessimistic post by asking that when we score a touchdown and a referee is standing right there with his hands out, can we just hand it to him instead of dropping it at his feet. Man it just looks classless.

[cbline]

Agreed. Hand the ball to the referee like Barry Sanders did. He played with class.
