A chance for a Valley football team to defeat a FBS team in the season opener for both teams.

North Dakota State
at
Kansas

September 4 @ 6pm

Kansas has a new QB, they're RB moved to LB, and they've lost a DE and LB.

NDSU has 5 freshman playing in this game. it should be exciting. if NDSU can control the ball and clock and stop their running game. then NDSU has a shot.

NDSU only lost 31-17 to IOWA State with a late TD, im guessing Kansas is worse than them.

It should be a great game. If mertens hadn't fumbled in the endzone against ISU that score is 24-31

This game may be a little more of a fair matchup than the Nebraska- South Dakota State game. But really, it is still a long shot, a really, really long shot. Oh, and Iowa State was a really bad team last year. While the standings don't bear it out, I watched bith teams play and I would say that kansas was the better of the two. Kansas simply had to play murderers row in the South while Iowa State got Baylor, a&m and Okie State. Switch those South matchups around and it's Kansas beating Minnesota in the Two Bowl Eligible Sucky BCS Conference Teams Bowl (TBESBCSCT Bowl) held in Phoenix, not Iowa State.

Last year Kansas started off 5-0 didnt they, before 7 straight Losses?

I think NDSU has a legit chance of pulling this off, SDSU 0 NEBRASKA 84

Yes, everything that could go wrong, went wrong. But they were still good enough to beat hapless Iowa State.

3:20 left in the first half, tied at 3. NDSU should be up, but they threw an INT in the endzone after a blocked punt.

North Dakota State wins 6-3!

Fear the Valley! Nice win for da Bison...sorry Kendall Gill, no soup for you.

Kansas must really dislike teams associated with the Missouri Valley by now.
