North Dakota State University (NDSU) will face the University of South Dakota (USD) in the Division I FCS quarterfinals, with the Bison looking to overcome their struggles in the first half against the Coyotes in their previous two meetings. Last year, NDSU had a chaotic first half but rebounded to win, while earlier this year, USD took a commanding lead at halftime and held on for the victory. The rematch between the two teams is highly anticipated.
Some North Dakota State fans were disappointed when their ticket purchases for the FCS quarterfinals matchup against South Dakota were canceled. The University of South Dakota (USD) had provided an early access window for season ticket holders and boosters, but the promo code was leaked and used by non-eligible fans. USD's ticket office cross-referenced the names on the tickets and refunded orders that didn't come from the designated group. Despite a minor glitch in the ticketing system, USD sold every ticket and is expecting a packed dome for the game.
