NDSU at Oregon. Who wins?

[ming01]

Cant wait for this game. Any Duck fans on here? Oregon will be very solid on defense and lots of position players back on Offense. Lose QB and 4 OL. They do bring in a few 5 Star LB. Our strength will go vs their strength. NDSU O vs Ore D. This will be NDSUs fastest offense during this run.

I think it will be close. NDSU needs to improve the DT spot and get a passing game going to win.

[TheKingpin28]

I am generally against transfers, unless they can fill a hole, and getting a DT, CB, and S who can play would be quite nice. If I could only have one, give me a stonewall that can play the 3 technique.

NDSU will give them all they can handle though.

A scant chance for a scalp, given Oregon having the ability to regroup quickly barring coaching changes.

Bison can keep this close, though. xtwocentsx

NDSU's had a great run in the FCS, but Oregon's a different animal.

FCS programs can sometimes sneak up in these games, but that usually requires some luck and timing. It helps if the FBS program is overlooking the FCS team. I doubt Oregon is going to look past NDSU.

The Ducks will spend most of summer camp preparing for Theeee Ohio State and think they can breeze past NDSU.

[Drblankstare]

Why in gods name does Oregon or any FBS team schedule NDSU? There are any number of FCS teams to use as a tune up game.

If you **** around and don’t take them seriously they will beat you and get paid to do it. I thought for sure after the Iowa game, they wouldn’t get another FBS game for 20 years.

Yes Oregon is very good and should win easily, but talk about tempting fate.

[ming01]

By the time they realize NDSU is good enough to beat them its 7 rip NDSU and then we hang around all game. Oregon will realize Lance will be the 2nd-3rd best QB they play all season.

Exactly this. I'm glad they did schedule us but don't understand it eithe and I'm sure their fans are saying the same thing. I give us a chance only because they are starting a new QB along with many other players. I've already read comments similar to all the other fbs fanbases of the past teams NDSU has played saying similar stupid comments about NDSU blah blah blah. Man I hope we put up a big W!

[Daytripper]

Oregon.

[JSUSoutherner]

Who is taking over at Oregon for Justin Herbert? That's the real question.

If Herbert was staying I'd say it wouldn't be close, but putting up some newb against NDSU might not go well. They also have Ohio State in week two, which may cause NDSU to get overlooked.

I think it's too early to really say. I could see Oregon being top 10 or just straight trash next year.

With the state of college football and the new transfer rules, it really isn't that hard for power FBS programs to just reload every year at QB.

Hope Oregon isn't using this game to audition Trey for his Senior season.

[100%GRIZ]

I picked Oregon but NDSU gets the BIG payday!

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

It's really hard to tell how good Oregon will be to start the season. When NDSU played and beat K-State in 2013 the Wildcats were breaking in a new QB following Colin Klein graduating. That was a huge boost to the Bison's chances imo. Ultimately, once the QB situation was settled K-State would prove to be a fringe Top 25 team. It appears that expectations are still going to be quite high in Eugene because of their defense and the fact the PAC 12 simply doesn't have much quality at the top. The Washington schools will have new coaches, Helton is back at USC, Edwards will be up and down at ASU, UCLA has the Chipster and Stanford has finally come back to earth.

I absolutely think NDSU can win but the odds are in the Ducks favor imo. I'll say the Bison lose a close one but it really doesn't matter as they easily win another title.

If NDSU beats Oregon they should forgo the 2020 playoffs and go to a bowl. IIRC, there were steps taken to get Alcorn State and Steve McNair in a bowl in 1994. 26 years later it finally happens....

[IBleedYellow]

Obviously the odds are in the Ducks favor, but I will NEVER count the Bison out until that clock strikes 0:00.

NDSU by 2.

[ming01]

I keep seeing this but I have a hard time believing Trey would transfer. NDSU is different. Has nothing to prove. More likely he leaves for draft early than transfer to a bigger school.

As a fan I will be completely irrational and say NDSU by 3. Should that craziness happen, there is no way NDSU would skip the playoffs for a bowl even if an offer came. It is not like they would get an offer for a high profile bowl game anyway. I am hoping Oregon is really good next year. It will be good for NDSU to get a challenging game early on.

[thebootfitter]

I'm giving NDSU a roughly 10-15% at pulling the upset. A lot of things would have to fall in their favor, but it's definitely possible. For what it's worth, that's about the same probability I had for both K-State and Iowa, but even with those odds, I was guessing the Bison would win. This one, I'm not so sure about. If I was forced to bet straight up, I'd probably pick Oregon.

My dream scenario:
NDSU pulls the upset at a #5 ranked Oregon. Then Oregon beats tOSU at home the next week. Neither Oregon nor tOSU lose another game during the regular season. And meanwhile, the Bison crush every FCS team on their way to another championship.

The Bison would very likely be AP fringe top 25 all season. They'd surpass Oklahoma for the longest D-I winning streak ever. Their streak against FBS teams at 7 would be one of the current longest active win streaks against FBS teams. There might even be legitimate Heisman buzz for Trey Lance. (Still don't think he'd have a shot at winning it, though.) NDSU would potentially crack the top 15 in the computer models. Maybe even top 10.



Farfetched? Probably. But maybe not.

[Professor Chaos]

My head says Oregon wins by 14-17 points. You all know what my heart says.

I applaud NDSU for their success at the FCS level. But honestly they have proven at every level that they eventually belong at the next level up. They have a system that works in football. I know the $$ is a big issue in moving up for just about every FCS school and that is likely why they are not on their way to FBS yet. Hopefully they can sort that out with all the success they've had at the FCS level. Don't know where they'd fit in or what conference due to location, but if I were a Bison fan I'd be starting the process for moving up somehow. Once UCA establishes success in the playoffs and gets their donors to move on the school I can see us going to the Sun Belt or similar conference. We'll never be a P5 program I get that. But my point with both NDSU and UCA is that there is a conference for us in the G5 especially as those schools start to seperate from each other in many ways. Arkansas State may not be considered for the Bowl championship but winning their conference and going to some good bowl games numerous times is probably a lot of fun for their 20k fans that live in a sparsely populated state that shares the crowds with an SEC school (although pathetic as it is it's SEC anyway).

The money is an issue. A Conference affiliation is an issue. A bigger stadium is an issue. But I think the biggest issue of all, and what both Gene Taylor and Matt Larsen have said and that is that NDSU wants to play for championships. If you move up to the Mountain West or Sunbelt or some conference like that, you will never play for a championship again. The best you can hope for is some middle tier bowl game.

I still think that eventually the P5 is going to break away. The G5 will then be able to have a playoff and championship of their own. I really think that is the only way that NDSU would make to jump up.

[AmsterBison]

There are a few Pac-12 teams that I think NDSU would have a fighting chance to win (like the Beavers), but Oregon is not one of them. The information that I am constantly forced down on me indicates that the Duckies are just another animal all together. It is a long time between now and the start of the game, but I would be surprised if the Bison stay within 3 touchdowns of the Duckies. Case in point, the Griz lost to the Ducks 35-3 and most Griz fans were pleased with the effort. Ducks lose Herbert (who was a phenomenal player even for Duck standards), but they have Dye coming back at running back. It could change as the game comes close, but right now I don't see the Bison beating them.

NDSU stadium holds almost 20k right? Or something like that. Arkansas State's stadium holds 30k and all their fans could do was complain about how they are barely getting 20k. I think the entire Sunbelt likely averaged 18k last year. But I guess NDSU would need a fundraiser superhero to get the $$ support to move up. I think your stadium is fine for a G5 conference with teams having to travel up there, it would most likely be just your fans there anyway. xlolx But I do like the idea of the G5 having their own championship. Otherwise quality football schools like NDSU won't move up. At least your stadium holds what it does...ours holds 9k..we'd have to almost triple the size just to qualify. xlolx

There's a few reasons I could see it being tighter than the local Duckers think:
1) Ohio St comes to Autzen the week after this game - everyone will be looking ahead to that game even the players (although I'm sure they'll tell you they won't be).
2) NDSU will most likely be returning 8 of 11 offensive starters. Two of three who aren't returning are the TE and RB which are probably the deepest positions on the team. They've got the horses to put up points on Oregon's stout defense.
3) New QB and almost an entirely new O-line for Oregon means their offense could get off to a slow start.

I'd definitely take NDSU +21 in this one. I'd guess the betting lines will be in the Oregon -15 range.

I'm not one to try to analyze things eight months out. A lot could change between now and then. For me, I am anticipating to see firsthand what a FCS championship team truly looks like and then seeing what Portland State needs to do to get there. And if by chance the Bison can beat the Rubber Duckies, I will truly be ecstatic.

[Herder]

If Oregon QB play is average, the Bison will hang, you can guarantee that. NDSU will need to sell out on stopping the run, which is usually NDSU bread and butter. If there's elite QB play by Oregon, it will be awful tough sledding. But, the best QB will be wearing bison colors, that I can most certainly say. Oregon D better be sharp. Bison will easily cover 21. 14 would be a better number.

[Herder]

IF Oregon want to play bully smash mouth ball, game on. It will be a tight game.

IF Oregon uses speed to win this game, w'll win by 14.

Every FBS game the Bison have dealt with. Those wins over Kansas, Minnesota, and Colorado State were nice, but "Kansas State is a different animal." No way brand new NDSU coaching staff and QB could beat BXII Iowa State. The Bison have never faced a team as good as Iowa. You'd think people would learn by now? Those were different Bison teams but the same program. This will be a longshot, but NDSU will gain more respect, win or lose, after the game is over.

Here I was giving NDSU a roughly 10-15% chance to beat Oregon next year. And Massey is suggesting we have a 20% chance. I like that even better! And in Massey's 7-game simulator, NDSU won four of the hypothetical match ups when I ran it. :-)

For what its worth, I believe that according to Massey and Sagarin, NDSU only had a roughly 10-15% chance to beat K-State in 2013 and Iowa in 2016. I do believe it will be a close game.

Edited to add: This attachment is showing the simulator and match up tool based on this years teams. In all likelihood, next year's Bison should be as strong, if not stronger. And losing a starting QB and 4/5 of the offensive line could make for a slightly shaky start (for Oregon). Can't wait!

This will be an interesting game. Hope it is televised where I can watch. It could be a very good game. I thought Montana played them well in a general sense. We bottled up their run game pretty well but had no answer for their passing game. Every time they needed it Herbert would hit a long pass play. Their wide receiver talent and speed were clearly a big problem. This will be the same for the Bison too.

I expect the NDSU offense will have better success than Montana had. Yet the outcome of the game may depend on how well the Duck's new QB plays. If Herbert were returning I'd take the Ducks by 21+ points. Without him I just don't know what to expect. Should be fun to watch.

Former Fordham (and Mississippi St) head coach Joe Moorhead is expected to be named the new Offensive Coordinator at Oregon. He was the OC at Penn St before landing the Mississippi St head coaching job.

Bison will fare better than the Griz on O because of their quality O Line. Montana's was lacking and Oregon's defense is fast, that is what NDSU will struggle with. 31-14 Ducks as they break in a new QB

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

I'll take NDSU's former defensive assistant at Arizona State now word when he said NDSU can absolutely play with Oregon. Bison OL will be even better next year.

[semobison]

Obviously my head says we can't beat Oregon. My head thought the same when we played K State and Iowa. O-line and QB-advantage Bison!

NDSU vs Iowa is currently on ESPNU....

Oregon loses 4 of 5 from the second-ranked OL in FBS last year, so that may be true, but it's definitely too early to make the call on QB. Not saying Lance isn't good, but the guys in front of him definitely make his job easier.

Burrow is the next Brady

do you write for the President?

Oregon returns 9 players on defense (assuming underclassmen return).

232 days until kickoff.

DeweyI can tickets right now on different sites, about $60. Do you have any idea where the NDSU allocation seats will be in that stadium? What section/area.

[caribbeanhen]

Bison win this game

And will get shocked the next week by North Carolina A&T

I’ll be sticking with this line all year until September.

I thought I saw section 37 and 38 will be visitors

NDSU's had a great run in the FCS, but Oregon's a different animal.

FCS programs can sometimes sneak up in these games, but that usually requires some luck and timing. It helps if the FBS program is overlooking the FCS team. I doubt Oregon is going to look past NDSU.

its a guarantee the Ducks dont believe NDSU can play with them. Coaches can say all the right things, and players will parrot the same, but it’s a guarantee, and that’s dangerous for the ducks. Saw it at Iowa most recently.

As much as I hate the Ducks, a lot of information gets thrown at me from all sides. This I can say, while the Ducks might overlook the Bison, the Bison better not overlook the Ducks. Truth of the matter, the Ducks are better than any other FBS team the Bison have seen recently. The Ducks treat the FCS game no different than any other game. They may try to go pretty vanilla at first, but they will be prepared, and they won't get rattled if the game is close. Nothing would please me more than seeing the Bison knock the arrogance from the Rubber Duckies, but I still can't see them winning.

[dewey]

The Ducks return the number 1 offensive lineman in the country next fall according to this link. They say he would have been a top 5 pick this year.

Warning an FCS team against overlooking a top 10 (most likely) FBS opponent? Can't say I've ever seen that advice given before. Another first attained by the Bison! xthumbsupx

Duck defense will be a good one next year. Fun matchup to watch on how they defend the power run game.
