FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Players from North Dakota State and New Hampshire say the two teams set to square off in a Football Championship Subdivision semifinal game are identical in many respects.
The top-seeded Bison bring a 13-0 record into Friday night’s game against the 10-4 Wildcats, who are making their first appearance in the FCS semifinals. NDSU is seeking its third straight FCS title.
Bison offensive lineman Billy Turner says New Hampshire will be the best team NDSU has faced in the playoffs. Turner says the Wildcats mirror the Bison because they play hard and “try to get the job done.”
New Hampshire defensive back Manny Asam (ah-SAHM’) says the Bison and Wildcats “rely on the same kind of elements” to be successful.
The championship game is scheduled Jan. 4 in Frisco, Texas.
