Bison prediction thread

[hawkfan44]

I know they're a good team, I realize they had a huge upset of Iowa State a couple years ago.
I think Iowa is too big, with better backs than what they're use to.
Iowa 56
Bison 10

49-17 Hawks

I'll go with the KF won't let the team put up more than 40 something on any given team and the bison will hit us for 14.

34 - 10. Smash mouth football in the trenches won by the bigger and faster team. Nothing fancy in this one. Hopefully Stanley gets some real snaps.

Iowa 38
Bizon 13

34-10 Hawks

Iowa - 49
bison - 0

NDSU is used to being the bully and getting turnovers. CJ won't throw picks and our O and D lines will dominate.

Backups by the 3rd Q

Close for a half (something like 13-7 or 17-10 at HT) but the Hawkeyes' wear them down in the trenches and pull away.

Hawkeyes 34
Bizon 13

I think we win easily but the Bison will score some points(more than we'd like) 44-27

NDSU won't make clone-like mistakes.They're much better coached and more disciplined. They'll also be outmatched physically at every position.

Iowa 45
NDSU 17 (all points in the 4th quarter during mop up time)

 

[MPLSHawk88]

Too much great leadership on this team for a let down...
Hawks 45
NDSU 10

Only games on the schedule that scare me are @Minnesota, @Penn St, and Michigan.

I'm not so sure they are better coached and more disciplined this year. I know all the esecpn hype on them and the 5 national championships and all that. They still are a feces team. This year it has taken them OT to win both of their games. 50-44 was the last one. Doesn't look like a world beater D to me. If our D steps up it won't be much of a game.

FWIW, Sagarin's Predictor ranking currently has NDSU at #68 in the nation (FBS and FCS), ahead of a bunch of power-5 conference teams. According to that metric, Iowa (#13 overall) would be a 15.85 point favorite on a neutral field.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

Iowa will be in control the whole game but it'll be close enough to keep the ? if the Hawks can beat Wiscy and Michigan. Hawks 34 - Fargo 20.

That would be historically a safe bet.

I predict NDSU will go down like Hillary at a 9/11 event.

 

[EstronHawk]

will N Dakota St put up a better fight than ISU? I say yes, Iowa wins 38 - 17

 

[ChosenChildren]

Iowa 35 Bison 17. Should be a fun game....let's hope we stay relatively injury free. The Big Ten 9 game schedule awaits

 

[dwghawk]

I've been told that football teams usually show their biggest improvement between the second and third games. If Iowa improves on that performance against ISU. I say Iowa will win decisively. 5 TDS or more.

38-17, Hawks control from start to finish.
