North Dakota State’s 38-24 triumph over Eastern Washington on Saturday in the FCS championship game felt a lot like a Kansas State bowl game.
The predominant color was yellow instead of purple and the stakes were higher, but everything else was similar.
Bison fans flocked to the Lone Star State and made Toyota Stadium feel like a home game. They watched their team win its seventh NCAA championship in eight years and then bid farewell to their coach Chris Klieman, who will soon take over at K-State after guiding NDSU to a 69-6 record and four of those titles.
