North Dakota St @ Illinois St

[isumatt]

Lets get this started early!! Both teams are surely playoff bound, but this one will determine if the Bison win the MVFC outright or if they have to share it...If the Birds win, Im not entirely sure who wins the auto as the Jacks also have 2 losses but will not play the Birds...

I like ISU to win a defensive battle at home

[TheHerd]

Well you might be catching us at a good time with our QB suddenly throwing picks plus we lost our stud DT to a knee injury against the Jacks. If we don't turn the ball over, I still say we pull the W.

I think...without looking at the actual rules it would go

ISUr
NDSU
SDSU

ISUr owns the head to head over NDSU...NDSU beat SDSU


That makes way to much sense to be the rule though

[BisoNation]

Doesn't matter, NDSU wins it outright next weekend. 24-10 Bison.

The most points the Bison have given up this year is 21. If Ill State goes over this, IMO, they win.

There is a lot riding on this game for the Bison.....outright MV title and home field throughout the playoffs...

Bison win 28-13

I agree if ISU can score 20+ points they will win. NDSU has been winning ugly lately. I see a low scoring affair for both teams.

[isumatt]

If Illinois State beats North Dakota State and South Dakota beats South Dakota State, ISU gets Missouri Valley's automatic playoff bid.

ISU cannot win tiebreaker for automatic bid if South Dakota State involved.

Should be a good game come saturday. A lot riding on this game for the Bison and Redbirds. Both are in the playoffs but playing for higher seeding.

If the Bison passing game is productive I think this will be a 2 TD win for the Bison but if they struggle they will lose. Both defenses are good.

Ill State has a huge OL this year. Bison need to get pressure on Brown or he will pick them apart in the passing game.

GO BISON

[isumatt]

NDSU has some of the best fans in the MVFC. If any of you are heading to Hancock Stadium for some tailgating, ask for Cindy's tailgate, stop by, and tell em Matt sent ya!! I won't be there but there will be a thanksgiving Feast with plenty of libations!!

[Gil Dobie]

As long as Jensen throws TD's to the Green team and not the Red team, the Bison should win in a close defensive battle.

4.5 hrs out.....


GO BISON!!!

[BisoNation]

Biggest game of the year up to this point! Go Bison!

[BisoNation]

Game is on ESPN3 btw for those of you who are interested. I'll also post score updates here.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Go Redbirds!

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Go Redbirds!

LOL....you rooting for NDSU's opponent....big surprise.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Go Redbirds!

LOL....you rooting for NDSU's opponent....big surprise.

Why wouldn't I? Better seed for EWU.

Not to mention I'm partial to bird mascots and teams whose colors are red and white.

Is that your angle now?

I figured you would have posted the picture of Jensen on the red turf again......

Why? That image is already burned into your mind, and you're still butthurt about it. My job is done.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Can anybody tell me what the over/under on Jensen picks today is? Two? Three?

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Zero on the INTs.

Game is on ESPN3....check it out.

That's your prediction, no picks today? I'm gonna go with two.

Nice sack!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Nice drive by the Redbirds, just chewing up yards.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

TD Redbirds!!!! 7-0. Illinois State!

[isumatt]

Birds march 60 yards down the field and Matt Brown hits Jordan Neukich for a 5 yard TD connection...ISU converted a long 3rd with a screen and 2 missed Bison tackles on the drive

[BisoNation]

ISU giving us some new looks, see if the Bison can adjust. Not a good start.
