NDSU should romp. The Sycamores just suffered a heartbreaking Homecoming loss to USD - a game in which their defense only gave up one TD. Statistically, their pass defense is good, but that could be skewed by their run defense being so bad.

But it was ISU-Blue who came into Fargo in 2012 and beat NDSU to spoil a perfect season. NDSU had started with 5 wins, including a stomping of Colorado State. The week before, NDSU had beaten #3 Youngstown State 48-7.

And the last time NDSU played ISU-Blue in 2022, the Sycamores were weill on their way to a 2-9 season. In that game, NDSU was trailing in the 3rd quarter and ended up winning by 5 pts.

Also this still bugs me:
