Defenses around the FCS are on notice, the NDSU aerial attack should not be trifled with! The Bison turned in complete performances in all three phases of the game, including Easton Stick's 15-of-21 passing effort, to cruise to a 38 - 11 win over Missouri Valley opponent Missouri State to start conference play. Swany and Joe recap the victory, the big day from NDSU's passing game, and another lockdown performance by the best defense in the country that saw the return of the FCS's top defensive player, Nick DeLuca. The victory wasn't without setbacks, though, as the Bison lost Dan Marlette with a season-ending knee injury. The guys analyze the start of Valley play as Youngstown State flexed its muscles against South Dakota State, and South Dakota toppled Western Illinois, and preview this week's matchup versus Indiana State.
