(3rd) University of South Dakota (4-3 3-1) @ (T-4th) Illinois State University (2-2 3-4) USD is hot right now and has a pretty good defense, maybe Illinois State can oil up their passing game and win through the air, but I like USD for this one.

(T-9th) University of Northern Iowa (4-3 0-3) @ (T-7th) South Dakota State University (4-4 1-3) Battle of the unexpected losers. Could go either way, UNI seems like they are probably the stronger team though.

(T-1st) North Dakota State University (7-0 4-0) @ (T-9th) Indiana State University (1-6 0-3) Indiana State would need NDSU to turn over the ball like 5 times, in order to win this one.

(T-4th) Missouri State University (2-6 2-2) @ (T-7th) Western Illinois University (3-5 1-3) Should be a good game, both teams are a little better than their records, really could go either way.

I expect the conference standings to look like this on a the 27th.

1. NDSU 5-0
2. YSU 4-0

46-10 overall for the season

[Bisonator]

University of South Dakota @ Illinois State University - USD comes back to earth a bit

University of Northern Iowa @ South Dakota State University - Without Farley ZZ has a big day

North Dakota State University @ Indiana State University - Just don't think Brock could throw enough pick sixes to give ISU the win this year.

Missouri State University @ Western Illinois University - This one could go either way but I like MSU's defense in this one.

Agree with these.

[Evolution Prime]

University of South Dakota (4-3 3-1) @ Illinois State University (2-2 3-4) I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

University of Northern Iowa (4-3 0-3) @ South Dakota State University (4-4 1-3) A little reverse psychology will hopefully work.

North Dakota State University (7-0 4-0) @ Indiana State University (1-6 0-3) No brainer here.

Missouri State University (2-6 2-2) @ Western Illinois University (3-5 1-3) Going with the home team.

[Yote 53]

No, no, no. You can all please go back to picking USD to lose. None of you have picked the Coyotes all season to win a game and that trend needs to continue.

[Yotes]

(3rd) University of South Dakota (4-3 3-1) @ (T-4th) Illinois State University (2-2 3-4) Yotes make it 4 in a row

(T-9th) University of Northern Iowa (4-3 0-3) @ (T-7th) South Dakota State University (4-4 1-3) I could see either team taking this one, think UNI is better though

(T-1st) North Dakota State University (7-0 4-0) @ (T-9th) Indiana State University (1-6 0-3) NDSU still mad, takes it out on a now pitiful ISUb team

(T-4th) Missouri State University (2-6 2-2) @ (T-7th) Western Illinois University (3-5 1-3)I see an even match, giving this one to the home team

[SD4ever]

University of South Dakota (4-3 3-1) @ Illinois State University (2-2 3-4) I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Hey Mr. EP you made me laugh. We'll be seeing you around pretty soon. November 16th will be here pretty soon. I suggest JackNation (i cant't believe i am being this respectful) start praying they win this game. I am very loaded up.

Yours truly,

[thebootfitter]

(3rd) University of South Dakota (4-3 3-1) @ (T-4th) Illinois State University (2-2 3-4) -- USD is gaining confidence, and will need a lot more to have any chance after this week.

(T-9th) University of Northern Iowa (4-3 0-3) @ (T-7th) South Dakota State University (4-4 1-3) -- This one will probably be very close, but I think UNI is too good, even with their injuries to let the Bunnies beat them.

(T-1st) North Dakota State University (7-0 4-0) @ (T-9th) Indiana State University (1-6 0-3) -- No surprises this year. No revenge factor. Just hard-nosed Bison football that the Trees won't be able to withstand.

(T-4th) Missouri State University (2-6 2-2) @ (T-7th) Western Illinois University (3-5 1-3) -- Two decent teams that are probably better than their overall records indicate, but Misery State is hungrier, methinks.

Visiting teams win out this week.

[Professor Chaos]

2-3 last week for me. 42-14 on the year.

South Dakota @ Illinois St - Not sure why but I'm feeling like there'll be an upset here (wierd saying that a win over USD would be an upset).
Northern Iowa @ South Dakota St - What a confusing game, I guess I'll go with UNI since I think they're the better team but it's tough to say if either of these teams can get out of their tailspin.
North Dakota St @ Indiana St - The Sycs are in shambles, the Bison roll in this one.
Missouri St @ Western Illinois - I'm really impressed with MSU's backup QB, I think he continues to play well and leads them to a victory in Macomb.

Make that 15 NDSU TO's in order for Ind State to win. Saw replay of ISU red beat down of ISU Blue and Indiana State is not very good in any phase of the game.

45-11 for the year after another 3-2 week 8. I am going to go against the grain and pick Illinois State at home to beat the Coyotes. I also think WIU gets a win with the added help of the bye week.

Go Bison!

Will UNI go 0-4 in the conference?

At the beginning of the year I would have never thought they would be 0-3 in conference but it gives me that warm feeling inside....xlolx

It could be the vodka.

[SD4ever]

So it's interesting to see a few picking the Yotes this weekend. I called the upset last week @ UNI and now I'm picking the Coyotes again 24 to 17. Check out details @ GoYotes.net. Four in a row with 3 games coming up in The Danger Dome. The Good Guys are coming. Everyone might as well start paying attention.

Go South Dakota!!!

[SD4ever]

While I'm at it I might as well let you know that I'm picking the banged up visitors from UNI over the home town bummed out Jacks. I called their loss to MSU so pheasant hunting might be a good alternative.

Go Yotes!!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

41-18 overall....

South Dakota 27 Illinois State 21 - can the Yotes keep it going?

UNI 31 SDSU 20 - Both teams are struggling...I see more potential in the Panthers...

NDSU 30 Indiana State 10 - the Bison take mercy...

WIU 28 Missouri State 24 - pretty much a toss-up...I'll take the locals from Macomb...

xlolx

You have Youngstown, Montana and SDSU on consecutive weeks at home....no way do the yotes go 3-0....could very well be 0-3.

[Twentysix]

From what I've seen thus far it wouldn't be a huge stretch of the imagination to think USD is better than SDSU this year.

[Bisonator]

Hey I congratulate the Yotes on winning a few close games but let's not get carried away here. I still have my doubts that they've turned the corner long term. We'll see in the next few weeks.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

IMO, ZZ will have a big day against them.

[Pant8her]

A s far as UNI @ SDSU is concerned this week, I would not put money on it. Until the UNI coaching staff gets over just using the same 3-5 plays on offense and doesn't rotate the defense I will not chose them to win most remaining games. JMO..

[underdawg]

IMO, ZZ will have a big day against them.


150-200 I'd say--the boy has really got a motor.One cut and run back who runs like a fullback with a rocket strapped to his butt.

We aren't going to win the next four and make the playoffs like most of our fans are dreaming, but we will finish with a winning record in the Valley, and be a contender in the next year or two. Forgive the unbridled optimism, keep in mind that we went 0-8 last year and everyone is on cloud 9 after that embarrassing debut.

Our Dome has been quite tough to win in historically though. Expect us to make some noise there in the near future.

True. I would probably have the same enthusiasm for my team. After last year, USD fans have a lot to cheer about so far this year...xthumbsupx

Nothing to forgive, your team is turning things around after a 0-8 season in the MVC. At least you are going in the right direction.

You do know prior to last season the Yotes had a great winning record in Vermillion. Something like 35-6 since 2005. I know a couple of years ago they lost all their road games and won all their games at home. They have a tough schedule left, but I wouldn't be surprised if they won a couple of them at home.

I agree with your call on this one. WIU is nly a few playmakers short of being a great team. They play sound in all phases just missing the explosive people.
