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.

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.
