Countdown to Week 1

This is my last Saturday off until December I’m thinking, but wanted to get a couple things out; first an update on Billy Turner, sources tell WDAY 6 Sports, he’s going to have surgery on his injured thumb this week, but still intends to play next Saturday, we’ll hear officially from Craig Bohl on Monday. Jeff and I will have a new video blog up shortly after Monday’s press conference.

There are some really interesting FCS games in Week 1 outside of Fargo just wanted to highlight a few that I know I’ll at least be watching:

THURSDAY: Montana State at Utah

FRIDAY: Youngstown State at Michigan State

SATURDAY: Indiana State at Penn State; Appalachian State at Virginia Tech; Montana at Tennesse; Northern Iowa at Iowa State; Eastern Washington at Washington and Southern Utah at South Dakota State

Of the FCS-FBS, who do you see as best chance to win? I’m crazy optimistic, I like App State’s chances at Virginia Tech, UNI and Eastern Washington…I guess we won’t have to wait too much longer!

CBS College Sports Basketball Wesbite, Eye on BB did a really nice piece on the Bison Men’s team, worth checking out: http://eye-on-college-basketball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/26283066/31585082

  1. I’d like to see Indiana State beat Penn State. I know, I’m crazy. The UNI vs. ISU/Iowa games get old after a while.

  2. UNI over Iowa St.. Also, Southern Utah will beat the Jacks who are now in a very, very long rebuilding stage.

    • No way.

      The Jacks play good defense and the game is in Brookings.

      Jacks by 2 TDs.
