Forgot all about that. Thanks. I expect a great game. Similar to Weber State and JMU.


Go Dark Brandon!!

I think it's going to go a little like the series between Alabama and Clemson. Last season Clemson surprised Alabama, this season the Tide were ready for them.
I have feeling that JMU is going to have a really hard time getting anything done on offense against the Bison.
It'll be NDSU by a fairly comfortable margin. Not really going out on a limb there.

Yep, think you are correct...

I think the Dukes will beat the Bison worse than they did last year. Gonna be another long day for NDSU.

I think it will be a legit slug fest. Both teams match up really well and try to play the same style of football on both sides for the most part. I think the bison seem to be clicking on all cylinders right now, so I think they'll pull it out but only by one score.

I'm kinda with you on this one. I don't think it will be a blowout but I'd probably put my $$ on the Dukes here. Anybody know the Vegas spread?


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

I don't think it will be a blowout by any means, but I feel fairly confident that NDSU will win. Just based upon watching the earlier playoff games, I truly believe they are the better team.

Yeah I’d like to know the spread on this game too. They did have one common opponent.

I expect a low scoring affair dominated by Defense. both teams have great defenses, but in the end I think NDSU will wear down JMU for their 6th natty. I'm thinking 24-17 NDSU

This one has Ndsu by 3:

I can't root for the bisons but if i were a betting man, i think they win this one fairly comfortably.

Tight game so far. Bison up 7-3 after 1 quarter.

After a pick and a 15 yard personal foul, the bison hit a 50 yard TD pass on 3rd and 17. Wide open WR. JMU cannot do that.

14-3 Ndsu

Bad read??? Guess he "thought" the safety would pick up the receiver?

Must've been a pump fake that made him bite on the shallow WR.
