College football updates: Minot State and NDSU prepare for upcoming matchups

Minot State University football prepares to host Wayne State for Week 2 of the season at First Western Bank Field at Herb Parker Stadium. Following a 36-30 loss in their season opener, the Beavers aim to build on an offensive performance that yielded over 500 total yards, including more than 300 rushing yards. Head coach Ian Shields noted that despite the loss, the team's ability to move the ball provides encouragement for the season ahead.

North Dakota State University (NDSU) is scheduled to face the Fordham Rams in non-conference play at the Fargodome. The event will feature a Military and First Responders Appreciation Day, offering free or discounted tickets to active service members, veterans, and first responders through specific partner platforms.
