Cats vs. North Dakota State Predictions

[nanacat]

No score prediction from me but I think we dominate this game.

My prediction is that we are celebrating a Natty all throughout the 4th quarter. Tommy has all the tools now and I think he has a monster game.

This is my thought too. Tommy will fire up everyone. They all want this. He might want it a little bit more.

Only concern with that is when he has been too pumped up his accuracy suffers.

You're not wrong. But usually he calms down and settles in after a few misses. He did that against USD.

Cats lead most of the 2nd half. Ndsu scores a TD late to potentially tie the game but decides to go for 2, Miller gets stuffed.

Cats win 28-27

Other: I predict you'll see this bad boy on TV.

[Bobcat Sig]

Will be thinking this over. CATS by 6...

Massey has the bison 31-28.

(They are also picking Ohio St over Oregon?)

Gross. Both of those predictions.

The two best teams in college football in their respective divisions, getting no respect.

Destiny team, it is our year! One more 1-0.

[Catsrgrood]

I see a 7-10 point win. Cats are in control the majority of the game, but never pull away and the biSon stay within striking distance all game.

I’ll be surprised if this one gets out of hand either way, I think it’ll be a hard fought win, with a 2 score or less margin of victory.

31 - 17 CATS!

[MTmadeCat]

34-24 Cats. Key precursors include MSU better 3rd/4th down defense, better rushing O/D, and Tommy Mellot.

[PortlandCat90]

Cats 38
Bills 29

Keys:
(1) Our ability to tackle - USD game was somewhat of a debacle in this area at times
(2) Keeping lanes in the pass rush and keeping Miller from getting loose
(3) MSU WRs will get loose at some point - need to make the big plays (3rd down) to keep NDSU offense on the sideline and not wear us down

Outcome:
(1) Woodard glues onto Lance. Security forces Lance to purchase the 13th cheerleader ticket because most of the game he simply watches and cheers
(2) Mellott Offensive MVP with 125 yards rushing. Scottre adds 122 and Jones another 65.
(3) Eiden Defensive MVP with 2 sacks and 2 hurries (NDSU concentrates on Grebe and Eiden tears them up)
(4) Robin Hauck watches on ESPN from Portland and is credited with 14 tackles.

he gets benched for a targeting of mellot out of bounds on a play that chance was in on because we were up 38-14 in the 3rd quarter.

[lakesbison]

NDSU 31
MSU 21

Late pick 6 by NDSU to seal it.

NDSU will bring back some OLD SCHOOL clock management, Run the ball more and Eat clock.
Defensively NDSU was blitzing alot more recently, but this game it'll be back to the squeeze everything to the middle.
Tommy won't get outside.

You'll remember the name Marty Brown by the end of this game.

Well if you can figure out a way to hold this Bobcat offense to 21 points I will certainly be impressed!

How is his toe doing, he didn't look too effective against SDSU.

I still think Adam Jones is a better Fr running back but no doubt Brown is good too, do you think you will be able to keep him for 4 years?

If this year's ndsu defense is able to hold MSU to 21 points, then they deserve the natty. Good luck to them.
