History



Tickets. Nissan Stadium is huge. These are the sections they will open. Last week they had about 8,850 in attendance. From ticket master

This one should be another stat fest. GAM shows 30-12. It will probably get much worse. This game, once again has two teams in the same division playing at different levels.

The tail of the tape. After 1 game here is the match-up



Couple things

• NDSU rushing yards should go over 133 allowed so far by TSU

• Bison passing yards should go over the 210 allowed by TSU last week

• Those 2 factors alone push this thing to 45- 12 BISON

Factor in the psychology of getting blown-out and it’s looking like another 52-something game Maybe they can do better? That’s why it’s played.

A look at their offense

Their defense

[JBB2]

2 FCS programs spending about equally. If betting money this fact keeps things conservative. NDSU outspends most FCS programs but TSU is keeping pace. Over the past 5 years they have been gearing up their program. As the money flows in they should get better over time. It will be interesting to see if they are spending wisely and are improving.

The money. Same time frame as TSU

As mentioned in an earlier thread, this game is a chance to see Nashville and get acquainted for the natty. A nice vacation with a game.

One thing about the FCS that bodes well for the future is the increase we are seeing, year-after-year in the FCS median spending
