North Dakota is entering head coach Bubba Schweigert’s 5th season and he has a 47-43 overall record. After winning the Big Sky in 2016 they regressed massively and only won 3 games in 2017. They’re 1-0 so far this season after blowing out Mississippi Valley State 35-7. Fun fact: this is UND’s first season as an FCS Independent after leaving the Big Sky Conference.
Home opener. Afternoon game. Let’s do this.
