College football features top-10 FCS matchup and NDSU momentum

College football enters a significant stretch with high-profile matchups in both the FCS and FBS. In the Football Championship Subdivision, No. 3 South Dakota State prepares to host No. 9 Youngstown State. The Jackrabbits are entering conference play with a top-10 ranking, facing a Youngstown State team led by Walter Payton Award winner Beau Brungard.

In the Football Bowl Subdivision, North Dakota State (3-0) continues its season as a new member of the Mountain West Conference. The Bison are scheduled to play Sacramento State in California. North Dakota State recently earned Mountain West Player of the Week honors for quarterback Nathan Hayes, kicker Drew Klein, and running back Myles Mitchell following a 38-32 victory over Air Force. Klein notably set a school record with a 56-yard field goal during that contest.
