Uni has beaten northwestern this year and some other bcs schools in the past.
Thoughts?

It's tough to say but i would guess they're close.

If they still had Jordan Lynch yes but they don't so I'm going to say no.

Probably, considering Kingsbury could barely beat Central Arkansas at home...

I haven't really seen them play but I would say it's a strong possibility

Arkansas wins right?

They have won 17 road games in a row. Average over 300 yards rushing. They are unbeaten still, we cannot take anyone lightly. This looks light a trap game before A&M.

someone post NIU's Dline weight. I'm strongly considering taking Arkansas.

Their largest DTs on roster are 301, & 302
Rest: 276, 293, 275, 270, 255
Largest Dend is 273

Yes. They're much more balanced regarding their running and passing.

NIU is more balanced offensively with a much better QB. They should move the ball and score some points. They need 12+ play drives to keep Hogs offense off the field.
NIU D line is not big enough and Hogs will control both lines of scrimmages and move the ball well. For second week in a row (and last week) Hogs will enjoy having a physical advantage on line of scrimmage and pull away late.
All of this bullshite comes to an end the following week.

Nope. Texas Tech still gets better athletes than NIU.

I would say NIU is better. Texas Tech is very mediocre

If they threw a forward pass, maybe, if they ran it 70 times in the game, guaranteed.

Better matchup for Arkansas, but lesser personnel. Arkansas wins by 3-13.

That is true but overall I think NIU is the better team. However, I don't know much about niu since lynch is gone. They did beat iowa and purdue last year and finished 12-2.

Pretty sure NIU is better than Texas Tech. Tech's results this season are absolutely horrible.
I think this game is pretty close, and I suspect NIU will score some points.
Now, their defensive personnel holding up against the run for 60 minutes, it's just not possible.
