Why Idaho State Will Win

The Bengals got the passing game going.

They fought the good fight in a loss to a Weber State team that should be among the best in the Big Sky, with former Wyoming QB Tyler Vander Waal throwing for 304 yards and three touchdowns.

The passing game kept on bombing, and now he gets to go against a Southern Utah secondary ghat got hammered for over 300 yards in the 34-33 loss to Northern Arizona.

The Thunderbirds kept up the entire way, got a five-touchdown pass day from Justin Miller, and they still lost. But …

Why Southern Utah Will Win

Yeah, Vander Waal threw for over 300 yards, but most of them were late against Weber State and it took him 42 passes to get there.

Southern Utah lost a thriller, but played relatively well. It dominated the time of possession battle and was able to come through on enough clutch drives to make it a fight throughout. Idaho State’s defense wasn’t even in the ballpark after the first quarter last week.

The Bengal defensive front was pushed around and the secondary was hit for four touchdown passes. Southern Utah has the upside to take over and control the tempo from the start.

What’s Going To Happen

This could be fun if both passing games can get hot early on.

Don’t look too hard into Idaho State getting roasted by Weber State – the Wildcats are just that good – but it was telling how the D had so many issues and the O didn’t do much until being down 42-7.

The Thunderbirds will be more balanced and consistent.

Why Southern Utah Will Win

Southern Utah should have enough of a passing game to at least keep things moving.

The overall talent level isn’t quite there in the Big Sky, but the combination of Lance Lawson and Landen Measom form a good receiving duo to work around. The ground game needs to find something that works and the defensive front has to do more to get into the backfield than it did back in 2019, but Northern Arizona’s defense has a bigger hill to climb.

The Lumberjacks were last in the Big Sky in 2019 in scoring D having big issues against the better passing teams, but …

Why Northern Arizona Will Win

There’s a whole lot to like about the Lumberjacks in Year Two under Chris Ball.

There’s still a ton of work to do to challenge for anything big in the Big Sky, but the offense has playmakers and the struggling D hit the recruiting trail hard for parts. Oklahoma State transfer QB Keondre Wudtee should quickly grow into the job with a good group of receivers to work with for an offense that led the FCS in passing two years ago and should keep it all going.

However …

What’s Going To Happen

For what it’s worth, Southern Utah had a horrible 2019 season overall but managed to beat Northern Arizona 31-30.

This year’s Lumberjack D let the team down in the loss, the offense couldn’t do enough in the fourth, and …

2019. New year, new teams, and Northern Arizona’s defense will be a bit stronger to start the spring campaign.
