The FCS Playoffs return to Fargo for an eleventh straight year and much like the first year, North Dakota State has a difficult road.

The Bison will host 2010 national champion and 2018 national runners-up Eastern Washington in the first round Saturday at Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome.

NDSU comes into this game off a loss, falling to South Dakota State in the season finale 27-17 last Saturday.

The Bison have several question marks entering this game, from their starting quarterback to the defense.
