North Dakota State returns to the road this weekend as the Bison take on Illinois State Saturday in Normal, Illinois.

The Redbirds enter the game with a mark of 2-3, 0-2 in the Missouri Valley after losses to Southern Illinois and Missouri State. ISU did not play last weekend.

NDSU is making its third trip to a renovated Hancock Stadium, where they won in 2017 and 2019.

These two teams have a long history, including two playoff matchups against one another, the 2015 FCS Championship and the 2019 quarterfinals.

Jeff Kolpack and Dom Izzo break down the matchup and look ahead to Saturday's game.
