That's a given. Can the Griz D get a positive turnover margin? They'll need to. Otherwise it will be a repeat of last years performance. Which was sort of close on the scoreboard but still a dominant win by NDSU...
Agreed. They will play the same dull, uninspired brand of football for which they've become known. UNDSU is the Floyd Mayweather of CFB. Before anyone says it, yes, I know they've been effective. They are just boring as shit. Not sure why any QB would want to play there. Then again, I suppose when all of your players are Golden Gopher rejects, it's not too tough to land a decent prospect.

Check out the scores from these games last year. The offense scored a ton. They just do it in a different way than the fancy gimic spread offense of today's college football.
Not sure how watching your team consistently run the ball down your opponents throat and break their will is boring. I can certainly assure you it is not uninspired football when those players went 58-3 the last 4 years and won 4 national championships. The point of playing a football game is to win the game. As a fan, that is what you should want to watch. I agree as an opposing fan, it must be boring to watch your team perform against NDSU. Your team usually has a tough time scoring and can't stop NDSU from marching methodically down the field.
Yeah, it's just a boring brand of football. No getting around that. Not surprising given the region. Not for me. Have fun and thanks for posting on eGriz.com so often!
