FCS Football Central previews the biggest Week 6 FCS football matchups, including a massive Top 10 matchup between North Dakota State and North Dakota
North Dakota dominated the Bison last season, scoring 49 points in a blowout win in the Alerus Center. It was the most points allowed by North Dakota State since its transition to Division I in 2004. This year's matchup should be another offensive explosion as these teams led the MVFC in scoring offense.
Expect plenty of points to be scored in the Fargodome this weekend, but Cam Miller will be the x-factor for the Bison. The Hawks will find success on the ground, but it won't be enough as North Dakota State's defense makes a few key stops late.3 p.m. CT The Wildcats' most significant question mark will be pass protection, as they have allowed four sacks in the past two games. The Bears led the UAC with 20 sacks this season, led by David Walker, who has posted 10.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks.
The Vandals have been dominant against the run, but the Lumberjacks will present a much more significant challenge through the air. Ty Pennington has completed 65.1% of his passes for 843 passing yards and six touchdowns. He has not turned the ball over this season and can also be a threat with his legs, recording three rushing touchdowns. Tight end Bryzai White leads the Lumberjacks with 201 receiving yards, while wide receiver Ta'ir Brooks is another offensive weapon to watch in this game.
Illinois State has found success on the ground but was held to a season-low eight rushing yards last weekend. Running back Wenkers Wright leads the Redbirds with 469 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Southern Illinois has been solid against the run but had its worst performance last week, allowing over 300 yards to South Dakota. Can either of these units bounce back this weekend?
Chattanooga's offense relies on an explosive downfield passing attack led by wide receivers Sam Phillips and Javin Whatley. The duo has combined for over 600 receiving yards and five touchdowns as Phillips ranks No. 3 nationally with 480 yards. Quarterback Chase Artopoeus struggled early this season but passed for a season-high 396 yards and four touchdowns against Portland State.
