MVFC/BIG SKY CHALLENGE: This year’s inaugural Missouri Valley Football Conference and Big Sky Conference challenge features eight games, with NDSU-EWU being one of five games this week. The two conferences have played 35 times over the past four seasons includ-ing a 4-4 split last year. The MVFC has a 50-33 edge over the Big Sky all-time.

RECORD DAY FOR BISON OFFENSE: North Dakota State set highs for points, rushing yards and total offense in 14 years of Division I football in the 72-7 season-opening win over Mississippi Valley State. The 683 yards of total offense were the most for the Bison in 29 years and the fourth highest in school single-game history. NDSU’s 498 rushing yards ranked seventh in school history. NDSU scored touchdowns on its first five possessions with only one drive longer than three plays, and the Bison built a 44-0 lead early in the second quarter.

TOP MARKS NATIONALLY: NDSU’s 498 rushing yards against Mississippi Valley State are the most by an FCS team this season, and the 683 yards of total offense tied for first with Sam Houston State. NDSU’s 72 points are third most behind South Dakota (77 vs. Drake) and Weber State (76 vs. Montana-Western). On defense, NDSU’s minus-31 rushing yards allowed is best in FCS and second in NDSU’s Division I history (minus-32 at South Dakota State in 2013). The 58 yards allowed Mississippi Valley State is second in the FCS behind Illinois State (41 vs. Butler).

BISON FOOTBALL 2017 AT EASTERN WASHINGTON PAGE 2

PAIR OF FRESHMEN PLAY: Two true freshmen played for NDSU in the season opener. Defensive end Logan McCormick from Appleton, Wis., was in on a tackle for loss and corner-back Josh Hayes from Lakeland, Fla., had one pass breakup and two tackles. They were the first true freshmen to play for NDSU since 2015 when safety Robbie Grimsley, running back Bruce Anderson and wide receiver Dimitri Williams all played in the season opener at Montana and kicker Cam Pedersen debuted in Week 2 against Weber State. NDSU redshirted its entire freshman class in 2016, the only time that has happened in 14 years of Division I football.

HENDRICKS LEADS STINGY BISON DEFENSE: Sophomore safety James Hendricks, the team’s third-string quarterback last year, led a stingy Bison defense with five tackles (all solo) in the season opener. Hendricks had two tackles for loss and a 17-yard interception return as NDSU held Mississippi Valley State to three first downs, minus-31 yards rushing and 58 yards of total offense. The Bison combined for five sacks and held MVSU to 3 of 16 on third down.

DUAL 100-YARD RUSHERS: Sophomore running back Ty Brooks posted his first 100-yard rushing game with a career-high 11 carries for 127 yards and two touchdowns against Mis-sissippi Valley State. Brooks finished with 199 all-purpose yards including one pass reception and two kickoff returns. Junior running back Lance Dunn had seven carries for 142 yards and two scores including a career-long 73-yard TD run. It was the first time since October 2015 at Southern Illinois that NDSU had dual 100-yard rushers.

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. The mark was set in 1968 by Ken Blazei against Augustana (S.D.).

BISON RETURN 16 STARTERS: North Dakota State returns nine starters on defense and seven on offense from last year’s NCAA semifinal team that finished 12-2 and won a sixth straight Missouri Valley Football Conference championship with a 7-1 league record. Included is linebacker Nick DeLuca, a two-time nominee for the Butkus Award, who returns for a fifth season after being limited to three games last year with a shoulder injury.

THREE OUT FOR SEASON: Two-time All-America defensive end Greg Menard will miss the 2017 season with a knee injury suffered during the opening week of fall camp. Menard, who made his debut at Weber State in the second game of his true freshman year 2014, is eligible to return to the Bison for a fifth season in 2018. Redshirt freshman left tackle Dillon Radunz and sophomore running back Demaris Purifoy were lost for the season with knee injuries during the season-opener against Mississippi Valley State.

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 41-5 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 24-4 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.
