The YO Show:
So, IDK if you all were watching the scores of our other conference teams, but this is gonna be a meat grinder year:

SDSU 42                 Colorado State 23
#7 Iowa State 16    UNI 10
Ball State 31           WIU 21
Oklahoma State 23  Missouri State 16
Kansas 17               SD 14
NDSU 28                 Albany 6
SIU 47                    SEMO 21
ND 35                     Idaho State 14
Illinois State 41       Butler 7
 

Wick250:
Plus Indiana State over Eastern Illinois a bit earlier in the week.  Most importantly, the league finished 6-0 against FCS foes.  Embrace the challenge and work harder to catch up with the top of this league.

Based on performances from the first week, you could reasonably state that NDSU is no better than the fourth best team (behind SDSU, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois.) How crazy is that.

Penguin Nation:
The BSC making some noise as well:

EWU over UNLV, and
Griz over #20 Huskies

Same stuff, different day in the MAC as Can’t & Zits get demolished.

The YO Show:
My favorite FCS upset was ETSU over Vandy (pretty much a blowout), and I have to admit it is somewhat extra amusing that two FBS teams that lost to FCS teams this week play each other next week (Vandy plays Colorado State).

That being said, YSU has a tough task ahead of it in conference this season.

Wick250:
In this developmental year, don't obsess about the number of wins. Watch for progress from our young, inexperienced players. Watch to see if the team continues to play hard for this staff as adversity piles up. See if we finish the season strong regardless of the won-lost record.

Next year, with proper development, more transfers and recruits, we should be competitive.  In 2023, we should be good (or it will be time to once again try someone new.)
