THIS WEEK: North Dakota State (5-0, 2-0 MVFC) goes on the road for another Top 10 matchup this week when the No. 2-ranked Bison face the eighth-ranked Youngstown State Penguins (3-2, 1-1 MVFC) at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 14, at Stambaugh Stadium (20,630) in Youngstown, Ohio.

ESPN3 ONLY: Saturday’s game is exclusive to ESPN3 as part of the Missouri Valley Football Confer-ence television package. ESPN3 is available only through participating Internet service providers on WatchESPN.com and the WatchESPN app. Brad Wells (play-by-play), Danan Hughes (analyst) and Kelly Burke (sideline reporter) will describe the action.

RADIO: Coverage begins at 5:30 p.m. CT on the Peterson Farms Seed Bison Radio Network with Jeff Culhane play-by-play, NDSU and Buffalo Bills Hall of Famer Phil Hansen analyst, and NDSU’s Jeremy Jorgenson sidelines. A free live audio stream of the Bison Radio Network broadcast is available on GoBison.com/allaccess. Extended coverage locally on 107.9 The Fox, Bison 1660 and 92.7 FM includes “Bison Tailgate” from 2:30-3:30 p.m. with Brad Jones, “Bison Game Day” from 3:30-5:30 and “Bison Hotline” for 2 hours following the network broadcast with hosts Keith Brake, Chris Hanson and former NDSU defensive end Cole Jirik.

THE SERIES: This is the 12th meeting between North Dakota State and Youngstown State dating back to 1972. NDSU has won five straight and leads the series 7-4 after last year’s 24-3 victory in Fargo. The Bison are 3-2 in Youngstown and 3-1 at Stambaugh Stadium with victories in their last three trips including a 27-24 come-from-behind win in 2015. NDSU scored 17 straight fourth-quarter points capped by Easton Stick’s 4-yard TD run with 35 seconds left.

A STREAK WILL END: At least one streak will end Saturday when North Dakota State puts its 11-game road winning streak on the line against Youngstown State’s 11-game home winning streak. NDSU was the last team to win at Stambaugh Stadium, a 27-24 victory in YSU’s 2015 home finale. The Penguins were 8-0 at the “Ice Castle” last year including an NCAA first round playoff win over Samford and a quarterfinal win over Wofford. North Dakota State has not lost on the road since the 2015 FCS Kickoff at Montana, 38-35.

BEST ROAD WINNING STREAK: NDSU has won 11 consecutive true road games, which is the longest active road winning streak in the FCS and fourth best among all Division I programs behind Oklahoma (13), Alabama (13) and Clemson (12). The Bison have won 12 straight away from Fargo including the 2015 national championship game and are 36-2 since 2011.

TOP SCORING RUSHERS: The top two scoring running backs in the FCS go head-to-head this week. North Dakota State’s Lance Dunn leads the nation with 12 rushing touchdowns and Youngstown State’s Tevin McCaster has eight. Dunn and McCaster are the top two leading rushers in the Missouri Valley Football Conference averaging 113.2 and 107.2 yards per game, respectively. Dunn’s 13 total touchdowns are the most in Division I football this year and he is on pace to challenge the NDSU records of 23 rushing TDs by Jeff Bentrim in 1986 and 23 total TDs by Bentrim in 1986 and Lamar Gordon in 2000.

LAST WEEK: Quarterback Easton Stick passed for a career-high four touchdowns to lead North Dakota State to a 52-0 win at Indiana State last week, the fourth most points scored by NDSU in a Missouri Valley Football Conference game. Stick finished 18 of 23 for 191 yards and completed passes to nine different receivers led by Darrius Shepherd’s six catches for 94 yards. The Bison scored 24 points off six Indiana State turnovers – three fumbles and interceptions by Tre Dempsey, Jalen Allison and James Hendricks.

PEDERSEN TIES PAT RECORD: Junior placekicker Cam Pedersen tied the 49-year old school record of 10 PAT kicks made in the 72-7 win over Mississippi Valley State.

FOUR OUT FOR SEASON: North Dakota State has lost four players to season-ending knee injuries this year. Two-time All-America defensive end Greg Menard went out during the opening week of fall camp, but is eligible to return to the Bison for a fifth season in 2018 after playing as a true freshman in 2014. Redshirt freshman left tackle Dillon Radunz and sopho-more running back Demaris Purifoy were both injured in the season-opener against Missis-sippi Valley State, and junior linebacker Dan Marlette was injured against Missouri State.

SIX STRAIGHT CONFERENCE TITLES: North Dakota State won a share of its sixth straight Missouri Valley Football Conference championship last season, tying South Dakota State with a 7-1 record in league play.

NDSU Head CoachChris Klieman

n 2014, 2016 Eddie Robinson Award Finalist

n 2014 Rawlings Football/American Football Monthly FCS Coach of the Year

n 2012 Football Scoop FCS Coordinator of the Year

North Dakota State head coach Chris Klieman (Northern Iowa, 1990) signed a new six-year contract in April that will keep him at NDSU through the 2021 football season. NDSU didn’t skip a beat in Klieman’s first year despite losing 23 seniors and welcom-ing seven new assistant coaches. The Bison scored 34 unanswered points to beat Big 12 member Iowa State in the season opener as part of an FCS-record 33-game winning streak that extended into November. The 2015 Bison reloaded with seven new starters on defense. NDSU regrouped from a season-opening loss at Montana and rallied to win eight straight games with a freshman quarterback after a midseason injury to even-tual NFL No. 2 overall draft pick Carson Wentz. Klieman guided the Bison to a 12-2 mark last year against the toughest schedule in school history, which featured 10 nationally ranked opponents. He is 45-5 as NDSU’s head coach includ-ing three 7-1 runs through the Missouri Valley Football Conference for the program’s fourth, fifth and sixth straight titles. The Bison are 25-4 against FCS Top 25 teams and have an FBS Top 25 win over No. 11 Iowa. A native of Waterloo, Iowa, he was a three-time all-conference defensive back at Northern Iowa from 1986-90. He and his wife, Rhonda, have two sons, Devin and Colby, and one daughter, Haley.
