NDSU turns to Sacramento State after historic conference debut

The Bison's next Mountain West matchup is at Sacramento State on September 19 in an ESPN-televised game. The 1-2 Hornets have experienced extensive roster turnover, an inexperienced offensive line and slow starts, and are coming off a 49-3 loss to Fresno State while coach Alonzo Carter stresses cleaner football. A game-day feature adds context on Hudson Artz and NDSU's walk-on culture, while the available gametracker does not yet provide a clear confirmed result.
