The North Dakota Fighting Hawks make the trip to Bill Snyder Family Stadium this weekend, where they’ll square off against the Kansas State Wildcats.
The Wildcats head into the matchup at 0-1 after a narrow setback to No. 22 Iowa State in Dublin, while North Dakota kicks off its campaign with a clean slate. For Kansas State, the loss overseas was a bitter pill to swallow, close enough to taste victory, but ultimately slipping away.
North Dakota, meanwhile, brings an explosive offense into the opener after averaging 30.8 points per contest last season. Defense, however, was another story, as the Hawks surrendered nearly the same output on the other side of the ball, allowing 30.9 points per game.
