I disagree about the "cakewalk" part, but we'll see.
Most NDSU teams have more trouble with strong defenses and I watched some of the JMU v Delaware game and the Blue Hens defense looked really good (JMU's offense only scored 13 points.)
BTW, I thought I read that North Alabama has both NDSU and Southern Utah on the schedule next year. They are diving right in. Sure don't envy their AD trying to put that first year's schedule together.
