Was it Cal poly or was it UC Davis?

Was it Cal poly or was it UC Davis?

Just wanted to be the first. My bad. Hard to remember who they played when you watched it on the radio.

Montana in 2002

Montana in 2002

Yeah. At #3 Montana in front of a record crowd down 24-2 at the half. Montana was coming off of an 11-win season while NDSU was coming off a 2-win season.

The win had a great impact on turning the program around. NDSU got two huge in-state recruits the next week and NDSU just picked up steam from there.

But it was 2003 not 2002.

Side note: Man, I am glad that NDSU blew past the "get a signature win" stage right away - that talk was weak.
