This is certainly not insurmountable. If it was, I think NDSU would be favored by more than just 7 points.
The key to me is forcing NDSU into throwing the ball. If they establish the run, it could be a long day. If we force them to beat us through the air, we have a chance.
Hoping the fans show up and make it a good environment. Can ill afford to sit on your hands on third down.
