Guins vs. Coyotes
penguinpower:
This South Dakota team took Montana to the wire. They are desperate for a win and match up well with the us. I think it is going to be close.
Lets_Talk:
There is no reason for this game to even be close. This ought to be a game where the starters are off the field by the end of the 3rd qtr.
South Dakota is in the bottom half of the MVFC in all but 4 categories. And, in several categories, they are 9th or 10th.
The only statistical categories in which SDSU is in the top 5 for MVFC games are:
Kickoff Returns - 5th(20.1 yards per return)
FG Percentage - Tied 1st... 4-4
Penalties - 3rd (19 penalties in 4 games for 178 yds..avg per game of 44.5 yds
SD is last in the following categories:
Scoring Offense - 11.2ppg
Scoring Defense - 36.5ppg
Rushing Defense - 242.5ppg
Total Defense - 455.5 yds per game
Pass Efficiency Defense - 142.8
Punt Return Avg - Negative 1.5 yards... 4 returns for -6 yards
PAT Kicking Percentage - 75%(3 of 4)
Ints - ZERO
Sacks - 1 for 6 yards(.25 per game... the 1st sack came last week)
Kickoff Coverage - 31.5 net avg
4th Down Conversion Percentage - 28.6% (2 for 7)
Turnover Margin - 0 To's Gained, 6 To's lost... -6 for the season and -1.5 per game
Red Zone Defense - 94.7% conversion rate for opponents... 18 of 19, with 10 Td's and 8 Fg's
I have no idea how this team stayed close with Montana. In 4 MVFC games, SD has been outscored 146 - 45. This is just a bad football team. There is no nice way to put it. This team is just bad. I have no doubt they will play hard, but effort is not going to be enough for SD to win. YSU might, PLEASE notice I said MIGHT, find a way to lose, but I see no way ND can win.

We are halfway through the season and conference-only statistics become very meaningful. As Let's Talk outlined, South Dakota is bad at just about everything. What really strikes me is the 242 yards they give up against the run. I expect a conservative game plan which will match up well with the expected miserable weather.

I haven't seen our team smoke anyone this year. They have played everyone relatively close. YSU should have beaten WIU and did not. The last two years the games have come down to the wire. Nothing tells me this year will be any different. While I would like to see a dominating game, I do think it will be very close.
South Dakota beat Northern Arizona who is ranked. I understand there isn't much placed into transitive wins, but NAU beat Eastern Washington, Cal Poly and Portland State. South Dakota is not a bad football team by any stretch of the imagination. They are exceptionally young and things are starting to unravel for them a bit, but they are still better than most teams in the FCS and they are very dangerous.

This game shouldn't be close. On paper, YSU is heads and shoulders above them. Pre-season this was picked as a win. YSU, 35-10
