Top-ranked North Dakota State is gearing up for another heavyweight bout as No. 8 Southern Illinois rolls into town for a marquee FCS clash.
The Bison are diving deep into the toughest stretch of their schedule after cruising through a relatively soft non-conference slate. They bulldozed then-No. 17 South Dakota 51-13 before finally finding themselves in a nail-biter last week.
NDSU held just a two-point edge entering the fourth quarter against then-No. 6 Illinois State but slammed the door late to secure a 33-16 win and stay unbeaten.
Southern Illinois, sitting at 4-1, finally gets its first crack at a ranked opponent this season. The Salukis have dominated their FCS competition, notching decisive wins over UT Martin, SEMO, and Indiana State. For reference, SIU blew past SEMO 59-31 — a win even more commanding than NDSU’s 41-14 result over the same opponent.
