Pleasant day in Fargo. Currently 19. High 27. Great tailgate weather.
8 AM update:
Since the 4 AM report things are closing in. Roads are getting hazardous around here. Half of mn and a good chunk of The Great State of South Dakota are deteriorating and our weather advisory has been extended to 3 pm. No Brookings, no Fargo. It might be a tough afternoon at dykehouse stadium. Favors the underdog.
I trust Mercer to make things difficult for the North Dakota State rushing attack in this game. My concern is that Cam Miller will make too many plays down the stretch for the Bears to have a chance of an upset. I see Mercer's lack of offensive consistency leading to defensive fatigue, allowing North Dakota State to advance to the semifinals for the fourth consecutive season.
Prediction: North Dakota State (34-10)
.
Hope that prediction is wrong. He has the Bison covering. I like his analysis.
Oh my. Mercer is not folding. If they can mount a drive here they will be in good shape. They seem to be keeping pace but the Bison passing game has hurt them.
