Montana has the worst offensive play calling of all time and the defense is terrible. Hoping for new coordinaters next year.

I’ll take the Horde from the North and the points.

Bizon are tempting considering how weak Mercer’s schedule was (Man are the SoCoN and down) and their scoring defense against teams with a pulse. But I see a fast, low possession game here. Something like NDSU 38-3.

The failed onside kick swung the momentum to the Bobcats.

[Mvemjsunpx]

The Vandals are trying really hard to earn back the "Idalol" moniker.

[SuperHornet]

The Vandals are trying really hard to earn back the "Idalol" moniker.

I never gave up on that....

[Mvemjsunpx]

Montana State beats Idaho 52-19

[Caribbean Hen]

Montana State beats Idaho 52-19

take out the Mount Rushmore teams and not that much is separating the rest of FCS

And Idaho is nowhere near the big 3

[Mvemjsunpx]

UIW playing like a typical Southland team in the cold…

They trail SDSU 31-0 at the half

[Mvemjsunpx]

Gronowski only has 9 combined completions & carries, but he has 5 total touchdowns.

Jackrabbits lead 38-7, mid-3Q

Calzada runs it in to make it 38-14, late-3Q

Gamblers likely getting nervous, especially after what happened last week.
