Ther powerful Midwest team versus the fast and slick West Coast team. Should be a good one. They may be better upfront than anyone we've played aside from Nevada, and we're probably faster than anyone they've played.

If we had played them two weeks ago, I'd have felt very comfortable about our chances, but they've looked much better in the last couple of weeks.

I'm still not sure what the hell happened to Montana State... I get them losing, but blownout at home? I watched the first few drives of that game and NDSU looked totally hapless on offense. Strangely, I watched the first half of their game v. Robert Morris and they looked equally hapless. They must make good halftime adjustments, because I was shocked when I saw the final score and NDSU had started hanging points on every possession.

It may have been a case of the Bizon just wearing them down. MSU was up 17-14 in the 4th quarter, and it looks like the D just collapsed after that, with many long runs.

We'll need to take advantage of the depth in our front seven and keep them fresh.
 
From what I have read a turnover an fourth down stop led to the pounding of MSU. They scored three touchdowns in the last 5 and a half minutes. Looks like they have a big front and look to pound the football. Let's hope our d is up for the task!
 
We need to jump on them early, get a lead and make them have to throw the ball....I see our D getting lots of stops early in the game, if our Offense can capitalize early, we don't have to worry about their big line wearing us down late like they've done in the first 2 rounds. I don't think NDSU has seen a team as balanced as us and they have no idea of the speed they will see come saturday, you can't prepare for the speed when you can't practice against it day in, day out, just ask SEMO.

Not to be pretentious but I doubt that EWU has more team speed than Kansas.
Both EWU and NDSU had good games last weekend and hopefully it turns into a slugfest Saturday. May the best team win
 
Man, I saw Kansas play a couple of times this year and thought they had NO team speed on offense. I couldn't believe they were a BCS-level team that was winning a lot of games a couple years back. That program hit hard times when they axed Mangino (whatta stupid thing to do!!!)
