North Dakota State is in it's 5th year of D-I football. Up until then, they played in the Noerth Central Conference, and were a perrenial D-II power. I believe they won more national championship titles than any other D-II program.
They are well coached, and play hard. They play in an indoor enviroment (Dome), so playing outside is not easy for them. I will say this. If we don't come to play, NDSU could very well beat this team. But I think we will come to play, and I look for a pretty sound win, something like 38-10.
Do not take them lightly. Despite losing last season to SDSU, they are a better team than SDSU. They play in the MVC with UNI, Western Illinois, etc etc.
Remember Cal-Poly last year. They should have beaten Wisconsin. same scenario.
