With spring season behind them, Bison seek another FCS title

Associated Press  

FARGO, N.D. — Nearly one year after a bizarre spring season that cost perennial FCS power North Dakota State its three best players and a chance for a ninth national championship, the Bison feel like it’s business as usual entering Saturday’s championship game against Montana State. Josh Swanson, who hosts a radio talk show in Fargo about Bison football, said the “topsy-turvy” spring has proved to be “a big motivation factor” for North Dakota State. “You don’t want to minimize what the players and coaches did, but it almost had the feel of one of those preseason basketball tournaments like the Maui Invitational.” Rather than dwell on the setback, North Dakota State coach Matt Entz touted the depth his team was able to build in the spring before the return to fall football. “Sometimes it gets sidetracked from we have so long to kind of wait and when we get down there’s so much going on, but we’re going down there to win and it’s a business trip like always,” Bison defensive end Logan McCormick said before leaving for Texas, where the game will be played at Toyota Stadium, the home of Dallas’ Major League Soccer club.
