The glory will rain precipitously from the heavens for North Dakota State in today's nonconference showdown with upstart North Alabama. Swany is joined by Bison defensive tackles coach Nick Goeser, who details how critical it will be for the defensive front to contain the Lions dual threat quarterback, Christian Lopez. Luke Bacon, the senior starting guard for the Herd, is fresh off his bye-week hauling bails and working on the family farm back in Granville, North Dakota. Bacon explains how important it is for the rams to communicate before, during, and after each play. The show rounds out with Nolan Schmidt, the editor of  Bison Illustrated , previewing the keys to the matchup , and Chase Miller and Swany taking a lap around the FCS and making their game predictions. It's all here, this week, on Herd it Hear with Swany!
