#1 North Dakota State @ Missouri State

Post by BisoNation »

#1 North Dakota State Bison (7-1, 4-1 MVFC) @ Missouri State Bears (3-6, 3-3 MVFC)
Springfield, Missouri
Plaster Field (16,300)
1:05pm CST

Last time the Bison were in Springfield was a disastrous 3-0 loss. Of course the Bison hit the Bears when they're on a 3 game winning streak and think they can win when they have the #1 team coming to town. It's also their last home game of the year. I don't think they stand a chance, but crazier things have happened.

I'll be happy with an outcome similar to last years NDSU blowout victory. It's time to start playing our best football, something we haven't been doing the past few weeks.

The strength of the herd is the bison and the strength of the bison is the herd.

This game will probably be closer compared to last year's score.

That said, if the Bison do not turn it over, then the outcome shouldn't be in doubt.

Both articles talk the Bears up a little too much, but NDSU will definitely need to get off the bus on Saturday...

I think the Bison should win this one without too much trouble.

Should...

If the Bison have multiple TOs like they did against Ind State then this will be close. Ind State had 2 pick 6s in that game. The Bison need to take care of the ball today; survive the initial energy rush the Bears will have and grind out a win.

I'm hoping our #1 Wr is back (Vraa).

No sh**.

Defense held them to -18 yds at half. But I give credit to the MSU OC, he made adjustments and their QB made some nice reads and ran for some good yards.

Jensen needs to clean up his decision making or this team will exit the playoffs really quick. The RB out of the backfield was open all day but he forced balls he shouldn't have. 3 INTs and 1 for a TD usually loses the game for ya.....our defense is just good.
