Austin Peay also new to D-I hype

North Dakota State takes to its familiar home field Thursday night with a veteran group, a veteran coaching staff and an expected ranking in the top 25 poll.
For being a new team on the Division I Football Championship Subdivision block, the second-ranked Bison look pretty established. That’s not the case with its opponent; NDSU vs. Austin Peay State University is a contrast in mature football programs.
The Governors, in just their second year of scholarship, still appear in the early stages of a building project.
“To be honest, we have 30 guys who have never flown in an airplane before,” said Austin Peay head coach Rick Christophel. “Getting on a plane is a unique thing for them.”
The farthest the Governors got from their home in Clarksville, Tenn., last year was about 400 miles to Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, N.C. The other five road trips were the equivalent of Fargo to Minneapolis or less.
