Bobby Petrino and Missouri State go to Arkansas tonight, that should be fun for him haha.
Ndsu goes to Arizona as a slight favorite to win today.
North Dakota at NAU should be interesting, if NAU wins today then I'd say they are for real.

Griz offense goes 3 and out. But their defense gets a sack, strip, score. 7-0 first quarter.

Griz trick play halfback pass to an uncovered WR in the end zone.
14-7 griz still with over 8 minutes left in first quarter.

NAU has an anemic offense and a solid D. They have a fairly nice conference schedule. I could see them getting 7, maybe 8 wins with some luck. Could be a playoff team.
In other news, BSC officials, wow. Nobody called incomplete on a screen pass that the running back bobled a couple times and dropped. No possession at any point and they give him a 10 yard gain. Review overturned it but holy sh** it was clearly incomplete in real time.

Looks like Indiana State IS NOT a very good bunch. They are not picked to win another game. Offense is rated at 250th and defense is rated at 149th. They could be their weakest opponent of the season. Even winning 49-14 seems a bit weak. I could be way off but...

NAU blew it today. North Dakota lucky to get out of Flagstaff with a win.

Ndsu tied with Arizona after 1 quarter. How do the bisons continue to figure out ways to get Hunter Luempke uncovered out of the backfield??

Almost had another. Wide open down the sideline.

I hate NDSU
They are just too good. They're going to run Arizona out of their own stadium. They just punish teams until the other team can no longer hold up then put the game to bed. Nobody is going to beat them in Frisco.

Damn Arizona grew a set and might actually pull this out.

Glad I was wrong. The Gris will be #1 on Monday I'd bet though.

I'll happily take that bet! There is no way the griz leapfrog Ndsu. They beat the worst team in the MVC while the Bison lost a close game to an FBS team.

Griz might not play a team with a winning record until week 8. Keep padding those stats as they don’t mean anything when you play subpar opponents.

Griz opponents and Sagarin rankings (out of 261 teams)
Northwestern St 237
South Dakota 132
Indy St 181
AVG 183
Cats Opponents:
McNeese 210
Morehead St 257
Oregon St 35
AVG 160
Not sure you can make a statement about subpar opponents with the Cats schedule thus far. Getting beat by 40 by a middle of the pack Pac12 team (who was only favored by 15 points) exposed plenty.
