Might as well get this going now.
Some stats on the teams after the 3rd week:
Total Defense:
RMU #21 - 289/game
NDSU #3 - 131/game
Scoring Defense:
RMU #12 - 13.3/game
NDSU #5 - 10/game
Total Offense:
RMU #11 - 268/game
NDSU #1 - 608/game
Scoring Offense:
RMU #105 - 12/game
NDSU #1 - 56/game
RMU has played: Dayton, Youngstown State and VMI
NDSU has played: Mississippi Valley and EWU
RMU play by play guy was on local radio station last week saying the defense is the strength of this team so far. Now he said the "strength" would be against NEC teams not the Valley teams they play (YSU and NDSU).
More than likely this game will be a blowout with RMU probably hanging around for awhile but IMO, the power running game of the Bison will totally overpower this NEC team. NDSU's 2nds and 3rds should get some good playing time in the 2nd half. Bruce and Lance might both go over 100 rushing yards unless Coach K calls off the dogs early.
Bison should easily go 3-0 heading into Valley play. Hopefully, DeLuca's injury is not serious enough to keep him out too long. He will not be needed in this game.
Bison win this going away 42-9......coach K not running up the score......
