Here we go again! NDSU Round 2

Re: Here we go again! NDSU Round 2

I think we all can agree that your offense will put up some points, even though the Bison D is awesome. The question really will be can NDSU continue to run the ball on you, and if they don't, can Carson make you pay through the air. Those questions will decide the game.

My thoughts are - the Jacks QB is much improved from the first game. His injuries are better and his timing is back. I think the Jacks will throw a very balanced offense at NDSU preventing them from putting 8 men in the box to stop Zenner. The game reminds me of the Packers vs. Patriots from yesterday - Pack won with a balanced attack vs. a very good defense. Here is hoping the Jacks offense steps up and shuts down the Bison running game or at least slows it.

Holy nutmeg - what would be the odds if Stig goes for it on 4th downs and eschews punting? The one who punts the most may very well lose this game.

I smell upset. Go Big. Go Blue. Go Jacks!

We are due. Secretly I'd bet the Bison and Bisonville are just a little bit nervous. I bet they'd want any other opponent than the Jacks.

I'm more worried about your backs and Carson making us pay by the run then by the air.

I think the Jacks will come out and play very well on Saturday. It remains to be seen if that is enough, but we have a lot of weapons on offensive and all the pressure is on the Bison.

This should be a helluva game! The Bison are as advertised in their house. The Jacks are as healthy as they've been since the season began and are playing with confidence.

The Jacks won't be rattled by playing I Fargo. The Bison fear no team. What's going to give? IMHO the winner of this game has the inside shot to the title.

Give 'em hell Blue! 1-0 this week!

Those who are attending the game in Fargo, don't be surprised to see a chauffeured vehicle pull up at the FargoDome.

I guess I cant blame the guy who has a very busy schedule no doubt.

Whoever wins this game will play for the Championship.

Zenner needs about 115 yards to hit 2,000 on the season. If he gets it against the Bison, will it be like when he topped 2,000 in the loss to EWU last year? Given NDSU's commitment to stopping the run, I think Zenner hitting 2,000 = Jacks win.

He also needs 145 to break the all time FCS rushing record. If he can do that against the Bison, I agree that the Jacks will likely win. Gonna need both lines to play well. I really hope they emphasize stopping Emanuel this week.

Hope it doesn't go like it did in 2012.

Re: Here we go again! NDSU Round 2

my guess is even warmed tents in Bozeman wouldn't have stayed warm for long... Several of our players said they loved playing in that weather... Something they will always remember. Honestly, I think the Northland should never give up its weather advantage, Frozen Tundra and all that. It's why I personally despise domes.. the elements ought to be part of the game just like they are at Mile High... ...

]Last season and this season we rent heavy duty tents for each of the playoff games. Last year we tailgated in -32 below w/wind chill. No kidding, we had to leave the tent at times to cool down. We had three heaters going and it was way too much.

NDSU is selling general admission tickets in the student section to the public for $18 at https://tkt.xosn.com/tickets/TicketH...ORIES_ID=68635

Are they decent seats? Because having paid that to see a movie this weekend I think that's a helluva price.

Meh, there are few on here that love to put Bison fans down every chance they get...and fail to notice when Bison fans are being nice.

btw, I do agree with the sentiment. Weather conditions like Saturday is what football was made for.

Oh for ch...sakes, it was a joke about indoor and outdoor football and the weather in Bozeman.

Not sure where this comment is coming from...I was trying to be gracious and inviting host. What does this have to do with anything regarding pre & post game social events?
