North Dakota State is set to play in their first road postseason contest since December 11, 2010.
That’s 3,795 days since the Bison played at Eastern Washington in the 2010 Football Championship Subdivision quarterfinals, losing to the Eagles 38-31 in overtime.
On Sunday, NDSU (7-2 overall) plays at Sam Houston (7-0 overall) in Huntsville, Texas for a quarterfinal contest against the Bearkats.
The Bison have been nearly unbeatable in the FCS playoffs with a 37-2 record. Sam Houston has been on the losing side in four postseason meetings. Twice in Frisco, Texas at the national championship in 2011 and 2012 and twice in the FCS semifinals in 2014 and 2017 at the Fargodome.
