I still cannot believe that those teams couldn't find a way to play each other in football. Just stupid. That's gotta be the only instate rivalry that simply wasn't played in the country. Good to see it back.

Re: NDSU Bison
Too much hate and egos in the way there. That and a governor that didn't see the value in locking both schools Presidents and AD's in the same room and telling them that they can't leave until they have a deal to play each other again.

It's still not like they're playing yearly or anything. Last I read the only planned games are this year and 2019.

Are they still playing for the Nickel trophy?
Re: NDSU Bison
No that has been retired and I believe UND has it since they won the last nickel trophy game.

Re: NDSU Bison
Exactly and it didn't help that NDSU moved up to D1 and UND didn't until 5 or so years later.

Two college players to watch Saturday
1) Georgia OLB Leonard Floyd (vs. Alabama, 3:30 p.m. ET, CBS): Georgia's produced its share of front-seven prospects over the last 15 years, and the sleek, athletic Floyd is the latest -- a versatile defender who's spent much of this, his junior season, out of position at inside linebacker. The 6-foot-4, 231-pounder will be evaluated as an edge rusher by the pros, and he led the Bulldogs last year with six sacks. "I like him a lot," said one AFC college scouting director, who regards Floyd as a first-round talent. "He is playing out of position. He's a speed rusher with length and athleticism. He be very disruptive." Another AFC college director added that Floyd's speed to rush the quarterback is what stands out most, but "he's got the athletic ability to cover," too. When the Georgia coaches do give Floyd a chance to pin his ears back and go this week, he'll likely see some one-on-one time with Alabama's stud sophomore left tackle Cam Robinson. So from an NFL standpoint, this might be the biggest week of the season for Floyd.
2) North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz (at South Dakota State, 7 p.m. ET, ESPN3): You'll have to fire up the laptop for this one, but Wentz might make the effort worth it. Almost annually, there's a quarterback who emerges from the weeds and goes higher than anyone initially thought he would -- and the leader of the four-time defending FCS national champs is a good bet to be that guy in 2016. NDSU did lose already this year, to Montana, and Wentz was affected by a high ankle sprain in that one. But outside some shaky moments in the aftermath of that, Wentz has been rock solid this season, with a sparkling 9:0 TD-to-INT ratio for the 2-1 Bison. Even better, he's showing the requisite traits to be an NFL player, starting with a sturdy 6-foot-6, 235-pound frame. "Big kid, big arm, better athlete than you'd think," one AFC personnel executive said. "I think people will start noticing him late. ... He's a smart kid with tools to work with." An NFC quarterback coach added that he "looks the part." And when asked to compare him to one-time FCS prospect Joe Flacco, the coach said, "He seemed like a better athlete than Flacco, but not quite as good an arm." The big challenges might be few and far between for Wentz, but this week's clash with South Dakota State, another top-10 team in FCS, is one of them
