North Dakota State has a ball control offense behind mobile QB Cam Miller, who ran for 629 yards last fall. They have a new offensive coordinator in Jake Landry and the offensive line is a concern with only two starters returning. The defensive line and linebacking corps are deep and talented, a unit that allowed 20 points per game. Colorado averaged just 2.3 yards per carry last season. The one-dimensional offense is why QB Shedeur Sanders was sacked 52 times. They're looking to try and run more behind new offensive coordinator, who has installed a balanced pro-style attack. With defenses often ahead of the offenses in September, this total is too high with all the offensive concerns on both sides of the field. Take North Dakota State/Colorado UNDER the total.
