The FCS regular season is down to its final two weeks and there's plenty to play for for North Dakota State.

The Bison play their final regular season road game Saturday afternoon in Carbondale, Illinois as they'll match up with 5-4 Southern Illinois.

The Salukis enter off a bye week, they have lost two straight games before the off week, losing to South Dakota and Northern Iowa.

SIU is led by junior quarterback Nic Baker, who made his first career start against the Bison in February of 2021, an infamous day for the Bison as the Salukis routed NDSU 38-14, ending the Bison's 39 game win streak.
