Kind of sucks that we get NDSt in the next game if we win our first game.

5. Lehigh
6. Mercer
7. Stephen F. Austin

Holy crap we got a bye at the 8 seed.

1. NDST
2. Montana St.
3. Montana
4. Tarleton St.

Good to see Lehigh didn't get rewarded for going undefeated with a crap schedule. Didn't understand that brackets that had them at 3 or 4 ahead of Montana.

They shouldn't. And neither should NAU. Big Sky should be a 3 bid league this year. NAU would have had an argument had they won yesterday, but getting thumped by a 4-8 Weber was the nail in the coffin.

Getting 12 or 13 wouldn't be bad either. To play NDSt, we'd have to win 3 games to play NDSt and then it would be in the national semifinals.

Would just be nice to not be matched up in the second round with either of the Montana's or NDSt.

That being said, let's just win the home game next weekend and whatever happens from there is gravy.

Man when we were down 27-17, I thought for sure we'd be ruing those couple turnovers that cost us at least 10 points. The first one we gave them 7 points because of the return (maybe more since we had a 1st and 10 in Sac territory) and the second one we were at their 15 so we should have gotten 3 out of that at least.

Yep. NAU was No. 23 in the STATS poll, Sac wasn't ranked. Both will get less votes after today. And they're not 7-5 because of a brutal schedule either. NAU's best win was over a 7-5 Southern Utah team. Sac's best win was losing close to us and close at Nevada. Both lost at home to a 4-8 team.

Ugh that's not good.

Huge 3rd down pick up there.

Can't tell if his knee actually hit the ground or not.

And also the more creative team. All I've seen from Sac so far is Run Right, Run Center and Run Left.

Offense looking pretty good as well so far.

Defense looking good so far, which is great to see.

Great start.

Sac wearing black pants and black helmets is weird.

Confirmed my TV just swapped from the ACC pregame show to the UC Davis game.

MVFC is going to be nuts. The way it's trending you'll have

12-0 North Dakota St
8-4 South Dakota (3-1)
8-4 Illinois St (2-2)
8-4 North Dakota or South Dakota St (3-1 or 2-2)
8-4 Youngstown St (2-2)
7-5 North Dakota or South Dakota St (2-2 or 1-3)
7-5 Southern Illinois (1-3)

Record in parenthesis is against the above teams besides NDSt. Though if you want to include them, North Dakota St played and beat all 6 of these teams, which makes their record even more impressive.

Excellent! Thanks!

Is this game really only on ESPN+ or is on local TV somewhere that I’m not seeing?
