This is the worst bizumb team I've seen in a dozen or more years. Is anyone going to take advantage of the opportunity?

EWU & Barriere had their shot at excising the ghosts of past losses and blew it. Next up is SHSU, 4 time losers to NDSU in the playoffs (estimated average score of 39-9). Will they make the most of home field advantage or blow it too? If NDSU wins they face JMU/UND, each with their own history against the bizumbs.

It's complicated because of the spreads, but if I'm counting correctly, I'm at 50%. Not good. I was hoping to get one Big Sky team into the Elite Eight, and didn't even get THAT. And my outright upsets didn't pan out, either. It shouldn't have been THAT hard, because I wasn't calling for Holy Cross or Monmouth. SMH....

They looked a lot better the 2nd half, with Miller in charge. Old time running game, with 24 consecutive rushes. Sam may be tougher on the rush though. After NDSU demolished Sam in 2017, Keeler has been molding his team to stop the run.

Having Miller at QB improves the team tremendously. I don't know why Jethro waited so long to pull the trigger on that switch.

:notworthy:

Maybe Farley and Aaron Best should partner up to co-coach. Can Best coach UNI's offense remotely while Farley coaches EWU's defense remotely?

89 has been calling out Jacksonville St in the polls. Should be interesting to see how Delaware does against them.

I was 2-2 overall, 1-3 ATS (using 88's info as the baseline). Man, this spread stuff is SO hard....

Last 2 times JMU & SHSU played (16' qtrfinals) total was 81. Course JMU, up 65-0 3rd qtr, could have covered by themselves..

Course that SHSU team, with one of those hurry up offenses then, was all offense/no defense (like a lot of hurry up teams). Now they are way more balanced, and definitely not as up tempo..
