FCS college football Week 5 preview

Technically, North Dakota has won 10 of its past 15 games against North Dakota State.

No, really! The Fighting Hawks got on a roll in the 1990s, beating the Bison 10 times between 1993 and 2003 to take what was then a 62-45-3 lead in the series. After a 28-21 loss in 2003, NDSU left Division II to officially become North Dakota State, FCS Juggernaut, and the programs have played only twice since.

It's odd to realize that FCS' preeminent power wasn't even in FCS until 2004 and didn't enjoy its first title until 2011, but that's how comprehensive the Bison's power has been over the last decade: It has erased history.
