This is the match up that will decide this game.
NDSU Defense has been on fire (yea cupcakes mostly, but still)
plays yards ypp Td's yards per game
1 North Dakota St. 5 251 795 3.17 3 159.0
2 Illinois St. 5 303 1097 3.64 9 219.4
3 James Madison 5 321 1156 3.60 7 231.2
NDSU with 3 td's allowed and 159 yards per game far and away crushes the fcs.
NDSU has their All American MLB Nic Deluca back,,, NG Nick Tanguay as well.
Maybe that's why BO is desperately trying to get hunter wells back, to add a wrinkle in the QB run game?
