In Small college action Sioux Falls University, Northern State and The Augi Doggies were all NSIC winners! Northern State was in a tough one beating the Moorhead Dragons by 1.

In other area small college news USD was a winner over und2 and the Jackrabbits returned to their winning ways.

The Bison Information boys discuss NDSUs collapsing offense. Hayes, O line and running game need improvement. Easy to say for me. I wasn’t on the field. Here are the boys with their take.

The picks came hard. Losing streaks change things.

U Con/Air Force has changed. Stats were wrong, difference a couple points. Goings getting tough if anybody thinks they can do better let’s see your scores.

Both NDSU rushing and passing have been consistent. Both trend lines are slightly down. Rushing because of the UNM Lobos defense. Passing yards are generally down.

NDSU should have no trouble getting its average day, maybe more. UTEP defense gives up more rushing and passing yards than the Bison average.

The Miners first 3 games were Texas, Oregon and Michigan. They stood up well. They are certainly beatable but I wouldn’t plan on push over.

UTEP offense has its hands full averaging more yards rushing and passing than NDSU allows. The difference isn’t much, it looks like a very good match up.

The upward trend line shows Teams have been getting more and more rushing yards against the Bison. The passing defense has been consistent and good both on coverage and pass rush.
