Another week, another Herculean matchup stares the Bison down from the Olympus they call the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. The Bison and Panthers both look to continue their opening week Missouri Valley Football Conference success. The key for each team? Slaying a salty opposing defense. Swany is joined by NDSU senior strong safety and team captain Robbie Grimsley to recap the Dakota Marker victory and preview the dastardly cat-like foe prowling in the shadows of north Iowa cornfields. Grimsley says the veteran Bison know they have to play well to return with a win.

Swany goes Meet The Press & Face The Nation for a high-brow roundtable discussion with trusted talking heads  Nolan P. Schmidt and Chase Miller. The brain trust analyzes a Bison team that's starting to take shape as we dive deeper into Missouri Valley play. The guys talk about NDSU's passing attack, a rejuvenated punting game -- that's right, punting and field position will be crucial today -- and a running game looking to hit the ground running on the road.
