[Bison03]

Back against the wall, not favored, uphill battle. Going to take a lot to beat the Jacks this year. That being said, call me crazy, and I might be wrong, but aint no way I will ever pick against the Bison. Let’s shock the world and pull off the upset!!

Bison: 31
Bunny Turds: 28

Cam is playing lights out this year to be honest and this is a career defining game. Defense has looked improved over the last few weeks. More plays being ran from under center. There’s a lot to be positive about.

Entz will be leading these boys out to shock the world.

Jk Entz is a bum. Fire his dumbass.

Jacks 42 Bison 17

37 to 22. I hate the Jackasses. Beat them or at least give them a scare.

[BisonHorns]

I predict pain.

I hate them as well. This team just ain’t scaring anyone besides the fans. I predict I’ll be turning the TV off by 3pm today

Can our defense get a few stops and forced the Jacks to punt? Not convinced!

[scottietohottie]

Thank goodness there's 9 man playoff football at 2 with future Bison eh.

[KSBisonFan]

Bison need to force at least 3 punts or force a couple turnovers to have a shot at the upset. If we cant get off the field on 3rd down, we're screwed.

If we kick FGs, the game is over. The Jacks are incredibly efficient at scoring TDs.

Over/Under for missed tackles on Davis: 9.5.

Prepare theyselves for lots of 1st, 2nd and 3rd and Cole. I hope I'm wrong.

Past teams were made up of guys who would be pissed off and set on taking out some frustration today. I don't think this team has that personality.

I think this gets ugly and Bisonville doesn't even melt down as bad as last week.

The Bison have essentially had 3 weeks to game plan for the Jackrabbits and the new SDSU Coaching Staff.
If it is like Frisco, with two ineffective runs between the tackles and a QB power……yikes.

With the current state of the D, Coach Entz needs to be planning on the offense scoring 28 points - perhaps need to keep going even then.
As per usual, NDSU will probably need to establish the pass before they can establish the run.
At least this year Coach Roehl has them passing more often, so there is a chance they can do it. And if they succeed in establishing the pass - then strangely enough - the Jackrabbits had trouble with Montana State’s QB power.

With what I have seen of the Jacks this year, including the first half of the Coyote game, the slow developing RRO doesn’t work very well against them. Too much aggressive run blitz by SDSU.
To counter that will need counters, mis-direction, outside pitches, under-center with play/action and all that stuff. NDSU actually tried throwing to the RRO RB the fake went to last weekend, so I do have hope the Bison will have some unpredictable play calling……they just can’t wait until they are down 14 points to do it……

It is good to see Cole Wisniewski back at safety! He and Logan Kopp at OLB give the Bison hope for a big play/turnover on D. That will be needed against this power Jackrabbit offense……if they don’t just run it up the middle. Wisniewski already has 4 interceptions this year, Kopp 2. With the Janke twins at WR and 6’ 7” Hein at TE it is going to help NDSU match up against them with CW at safety. Watch out for true freshman WR Griffin Wilde - the Sioux Falls product looks to be the next great Jack WR. NDSU did offer Wilde, but SDSU won that recruiting battle.

GoBizon!!!
