Bison Forum

MVFC WEEK 6.
ALL GAMES OCTOBER 4th

* NDSU @ ISU-R.

• Bison -28/58/43-15

. NDSU #38 in Sagarin this week. Could they be a bowl team.

* SDSU: @ Youngstown.

• SDSU -9/51/30-21

The Penguins @ 4-1 made a game of it at Michigan State and easily won the other 3. They have a good rushing D but the Jacks will open the game up with the pass

FINAL SDSU 35-30. Youngstown looked good. SDSU couldn’t cover and both teams showed improvement on both sides of the ball.

* UND: @ UNI.

• UND -9/51/30-21.

UND has not been a good road team but they are running hot. The pass defense is poor but their powerful 427 yard balanced attack should find the UNI weaknesses.

FINAL UND 35-7. The Sioux offense was better than average but the defense really stood out. Of course UNI is another MVFC team looking ahead to Murray State.

* SIU: Indiana State @.

• SIU -20/64/42-22

SIU has a pretty good FCS football team. Their offense has been putting up 443 yds/game. Unfortunately for the Sycamores their D gives up 473.

FINAL SIU 55-27. Pretty much like the 42-22 game the GAM envisioned. This one went over, SIU won and covered.

* USD: Should easily handle visiting Murray State
……..and they did 49-24

SOUTHERN UTAH @ TARLETON STATE

• Tarleton -25
  OU 60
  State 45-15

Tarleton State, FBS and MWC hopeful, on a collision course with The BISON, should overwhelm a weak SUU defense with their 450 yard per game average.

States defense gives up about 380 yards/game and allowing a BISON like 12 points/game while the offense is averaging 40+!

FINAL “State” 52 SIU 42. Unexpected shoot-out. If their defense doesn’t improve Tarleton is going to give up a lot of points. At mid-season they may not be up to the level of play of some other top 10 teams seen in some of the other games.

According to Draft Kings the top ten most likey teams to win the FCS national championship:
Note: 3-way tie for 9th
Odds show return on a $100 bet

Another couple top ten FCS teams

• Montana State @ Northern Arizona
  Montana State -4
  OU 58
  Mythical Score Montana State 31-27

This could be a shoot-out. Both offenses put up over 400 yds. NAZ is dependent on the pass. MSU has a good defense. It could be significantly better than NAZ. The Lumberjack passing attack could be stopped and MSU could roll. I think theBobcats can cover.

FINAL: MSU 34-10
The Bobcat offense is on track and looked good but the defense really stepped up. It was under at 54

• MONTANA @ IDAHO STATE
  MONTANA -4
  OU 66
  Mythical Score 35-31

I expect The 4-0 Grizz to cover say 35-23. The 2-3 Vandals are, statistically, a decent FCS squad with a win over N Co and a 90-0 win over Lincoln Ca.

Here’s a look at the game from BVM sports.

NDSU Sagarin Neighborhood
MVFC plus Tarleton State & Big Sky underline yellow. The new NCC 3.0?
MWC underline blue

Last year was a classic Bison win over a top 20 Redbirds team. Close at the half it ended in a 42-10 Bison.
