The Bison will play five home games in 2005 including non-conference games against Weber State University (Sept. 17, 6 p.m.) and Nicholls State University (Oct. 1, 6 p.m.) and three Great West Football Conference games against UC Davis (Oct. 22, 1 p.m.), the University of Northern Colorado (Nov. 5, 1 p.m.), and South Dakota State University (Nov. 12, 6 p.m.).
Southern Illinois University is the defending champion of the Gateway Conference and was ranked No. 1 for nine straight weeks heading into the NCAA I-AA playoffs. NDSU plays the Salukis at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, in Carbondale, Ill. Southern Illinois dropped a 35-31 decision to Eastern Washington in the first round. The Bison and Salukis will be meeting for the second time. Southern Illinois defeated NDSU 20-15 in Carbondale in 1963.
