Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome

Last year this game was amazing to be at, excited to welcome Georgia Southern's #1 rushing offense yet again. I'm expecting another game like today with the Bison winning by 10.
Can't wait!!

An epic battle at hand

I don't like GSUs chances now that you've experienced the TO from WoCo.

It looks like a different monster than Wofford. Wofford's fullback was a truckload for NDSU.ASUG8 wrote:I don't like GSUs chances now that you've experienced the TO from WoCo.

EB was very good for sure.
GSU's option is more of an 'outside' or perimeter option and the QB keeps it more. Wofford's is more EB up the middle.
Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
Swope was plowing through ODU today as well. Was surprised how much GSU ran up the gut early. They didn't really start hitting the perimeter heavy until later in the game. Swope set it all up early.Gil Dobie wrote:It looks like a different monster than Wofford.

Georgia Southern's TO will definitely keep our coaching staff busy this week.

Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
This is a tough one, but I think NDSU prevails at home by something like 24-21.

I don't really think it matters if it is Fri or Sat.
Should be a sell-out.

Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
With NDSU playing Friday, it gives EWU a chance to get the maximum number of tickets sold, that they are going to sell on Saturday, making a few more bucks for the NCAA.Bison Fan in NW MN wrote:BisoNation wrote:Friday night 7pm ESPN2

Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
It also would have been a 5pm start out there, not ideal for attendance.Gil Dobie wrote:With NDSU playing Friday, it gives EWU a chance to get the maximum number of tickets sold, that they are going to sell on Saturday, making a few more bucks for the NCAA.Bison Fan in NW MN wrote:

Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
NDSU 27 GSU 10. Should be a much different game than last season. a few turnover away from it being 28-21 last season or so. i think our passing game does better against GSUs D plus we have Gebhart back

Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
27-14 NDSU, GSU gets a rushing TD and a defensive TD.
Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
GSU 28 NDSU 27
I would have predicted a 10 point victory, but I accounted for GSU missing three field goals. Even a dome won't help.

Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
Normally I don't make predictions, but I'm going with NDSU 20, GSU 14. It'll be close with NDSU minus a few of their guys who gave GSU fits last year (Juckem and Heagle, in particular).

Perry is out. Juckem played saturday and I haven't heard anything on him being out.
Plus LaVoy moved back to DT. He is a big body that played DT before and he is good.

Re: #6 Georgia Southern @ #1 North Dakota State
I saw this game last year & it wasn't pretty. Granted Jaybo Shaw wasn't a running threat & McKinnon is, but NDSU just saw a version of this offense last week, it's in the dome, save yourself the 3 hours, it'll be a Bison victory.
