Big Sky Predictions - Week 2
EWU 35-27 Yunie — The Panthers lost to Iowa State by more than the Eags lost to Oregon
Cal Poly 17-41 Arizona St. — Upsetting Montana and Arizona State seems a bit much
SoDak 24-27 Davis — Joe Glenn hasn't won in California since 2001
Sac State 10-45 UDub — The Huskies shut down Boise in a surprisingly close loss
Portland St. 35-38 Idaho St. — The Big Sky opener will be a barnburner in the barn
Suutah 13-30 SoDak St. — Last week was back to 2013 for the T-Birds: all defense, no offense
Weber 10-35 NoDak St. — The Bison hoist the banner & try to forget about August 29th.
NM Highlands 14-58 NAU — The 'Jacks won this matchup last year 62-23
NoCo 28-35 Houston Baptist — On the plus side, the Bear defense can't play any worse than last week
Drake 13-34 NoDak — I still doubt UND is truly a contender, but they don't need to be to win this one
Cal Poly 17-41 Arizona St. — Upsetting Montana and Arizona State seems a bit much

Re: Big Sky Predictions - Week 2
EWU > UNI - Good game, but EWU will win by two TD or less.
CP > AZ State - My favorite male QB may have nearly won the Heismann at AZ State, but the way they looked against the ATMs compared to how CP handled the team that beat the 4-time defending D-I national champions just one week before makes me wonder about this one. This is SH's 5-star upset special this week....
UCD > USD - The Manure Pile seems to be doing some good things this year, and they're at home. They won't win Causeway...but this isn't Causeway....
Sac State > UW - Sac has a history of taking out Pac-12 bottom feeders, and UW seems to be stuck in a rut.
PSU > ISU - And this one won't even be close. Vikes by 5 TDs.
SD State > SUU - SUU can't handle much of anyone from the MVFC....
NDSU > BBQ - Bizon out to redeem their season....
NAU > NMHU - SH's former teammate is the guy who started the NMHU turnaround, but he's long gone (now with the soon-to-be LA Rams). Look for the Lumberjacks to win by 6 TDs...if the coach doesn't shut it down early.
UNC > Houston Baptist - UNC hasn't done anything in football since moving up, but Houston Baptist isn't Abilene, either. HBU and IWU should have stayed in D-II....
UND > Drake - A FBS win bodes well for the Sioux in this one. They won't start their inevitable swoon until the Conference season starts.

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
Re: Big Sky Predictions - Week 2
PSU may be better this year, time will tell, but the first game is often an aberration. I expect PSU to be decent on defense and ISU will have fits containing the QB keeper. That said, why do you expect this one to be such a blow out?SuperHornet wrote: PSU > ISU - And this one won't even be close. Vikes by 5 TDs.

Re: Big Sky Predictions - Week 2
8-5 so far in this young season. Not a great start considering I need to build a cushion before conference season.
CP at Arizona State---Given the relative success the conference had against the Pac-12 last week, the Mustangs don't need to win this one, but they should keep it somewhat close...Arizona State 35, CP 20.
EWU at Northern Iowa---On the road, at home, who's playing, who's quarterbacking, who's coaching, who's staying, who's playing who (what?). Does it really matter?...EWU 38, Northern Iowa 35.
Drake at UND---The Dakotans defense showed what they can do against a mediocre FBS team. What do you think they can do against a mildly mediocre FCS team?...UND 32, Drake 3.
New Mexico Highlands at NAU---Home opener for the Lumberjacks, fresh off their win on the road. This time, playing a DII. Great start for the Lumberjacks...NAU 42, New Mexico Highlands 14.
UNC at Houston Baptist---The Bears got their win last week against a DII team to earn a rather respectable looking 1-0 start. Can they get the second win? Maybe, but not here...Houston Baptist 35, UNC 28.
PSU at ISU---With the Vikings beating Washington State last week and the Bengals taking care of business against a DII, this game has become more interesting than before...PSU 38, ISU 35.
SAC at Washington---Similar to the CP/ASU game, give the relative success of the conference against the Pac-12 NORTH, the Hornets have some big shoes to follow...Washington 31, SAC 27.
SUU at South Dakota State---The Thunderbirds defense showed they will keep the team in games until the offense comes around. They would want some offense in this game...South Dakota State 21, SUU 17.
South Dakota at UCD---The Aggies bring in a relatively easy opponent from the nasty Missouri Valley conference. Well, as easy as they could find in that conference...South Dakota 21, UCD 12.
WSU at North Dakota State---The Wildcats defense looked really good against a Pac-12 offense. But the offense is still AWOL and North Dakota State is upset with a loss to Montana...North Dakota State 24, WSU 7.
CP at Arizona State---Given the relative success the conference had against the Pac-12 last week, the Mustangs don't need to win this one, but they should keep it somewhat close...Arizona State 35, CP 20.
EWU at Northern Iowa---On the road, at home, who's playing, who's quarterbacking, who's coaching, who's staying, who's playing who (what?). Does it really matter?...EWU 38, Northern Iowa 35.

Re: Big Sky Predictions - Week 2
Just came to eat crow, ISU looked terrible today, major QB issues, and looked like a team good for 4-6 wins this year instead of the great year I imagined

Re: Big Sky Predictions - Week 2
If I may, you guys will be fine. This was your first DI game. Your QB will come around just fine. Your guys listen to Kramer and the coaching staff, you will be dangerous by mid October when things really matter. I felt better facing your guys now than coming in here in October. You still have the makings of a great football team.Jjoey52 wrote:Just came to eat crow, ISU looked terrible today, major QB issues, and looked like a team good for 4-6 wins this year instead of the great year I imagined

Poly, PSU, EWU and even Weber need to tell Sac State how to play against the Pac-12.

So it wasn't exactly 5 TDs...I got a little excited. How many of you figured PSU would beat ISU by more than a FG?
