Sat, Sep 11:

Youngstown State @ Michigan State Yea, YSU has peaked, Michigan State by a few although I think MSU mostly sucks
Indiana State @ Northwestern Blood bath
Northern Arizona @ South Dakota This is a tough one, both play in ****ty domes, both lost last week, taking USD for no real reason
Valparaiso @ North Dakota State ****ing Christ, if this game isn't over by 7 minutes into the first quarter I am storming the field
Illinois State @ Western Michigan ISUr has a real chance to win this game.
Southern Illinois @ Kansas State another good game, will be closer than most people think
Lindenwood @ South Dakota State ****ing Aye Ray, who would win between Lindenwood and Valpo
Central Arkansas @ Missouri State These guys have played each other like 15 times in the past 12 months, has MSU won any of those, maybe this time
Western Illinois @ Montana Game might be closer than some think, teams come out flat after a big win, WIU doesn't know what that is but Montana might
Northern Iowa @ Sac State Another good game, UNI might have shot their wad in Ames, who knows, picked UNI because I sort of want them to lose and then climb a couple spots in the poll

I struggled with it... seems like a prototypical trap game for Utah St after a big come from behind win over Wazzu. I went with Utah St but wouldn't be surprised to see UND pick them off.

I’m not. I’m thinking MSU blew their wad against Oklahoma State.

They said same thing about this guy early in his career ....

???? Most of these folks are picking Utah State.

Good question. However, Northern Arizona only scored 2 points more than SD did last week. Could be another defensive battle. I could see SD losing too, but give them the benefit of the doubt at home with the 12th man.

I love their scrappy defense thoughI don't think I have ever heard the term scrappy applied to an USD defense. Help me out fellow MVFC followers, did I miss something.

Playing the worst P5 team makes you look better than you are.

the Kansas game.... I know Kansas sucks balls but the SD Defense looked scrappy to me

I know Kansas sucks balls but the SD Defense looked scrappy to meYea, didn't get to see much of the game but USD historically has had horrible defenses, probably the worst in the MVFC, that is why it struck me as kind of funny. Also, the term scrappy always reminds me of this pro wrestler back in the day that had "scrap iron" as a nickname and always lost.

Apparently based on current score the answer is yes. Honestly I didn't expect them to score this fast either.
