North Dakota State vs South Dakota State FCS National Championship, What’s Going To Happen
The North Dakota State passing game isn’t going to do quite enough to pull this out.
It picked up over the last few weeks, but there have also been turnovers. Not a ton, but if the O gives up two interceptions like it did against Incarnate Word and Montana, that could be enough to tip the scales.
No, you’re never, ever, ever wrong to assume North Dakota State will win an FCS National Championship – because it always does when it gets the chance – but South Dakota State’s defense will come through.
It’ll stop the Bison ground game from taking over, the team will be +2 in turnover margin, and the Jackrabbits will make it four in a row in the series – only this time with everything on the line.
