I noticed that only 3 teams are in the top 20 in both offense and defense.

They are:

Texas State

Nicholls State

Appalachian State

I like balanced teams, in that if one aspect of the game is not hitting on all cylinders, the other may be strong enough to carry the team to victory.

People talk about the NSU rushing offense, but their defense is very good, much better than Furman's, I see this game being much closer than most people think.

Some rankings that suprised me on defense were :

GSU - 69

Furman - 71

New Hampshire - 100

On offense Montana comes in at 84, can their defense keep them in the game long enough for their offense to score some points ?

Just some interesting points to cuss and discuss.
