Many people think that Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are seriously underestimating North Dakota State because they are an FCS school.
NDSU has already made some serious improvements and spent money to improve its chances of winning when the two teams face off on Thursday.
It has been reported that NDSU has invested in helmet communications, which they only allow when an FCS school plays and an FBS school.
Little nugget on NDSU @ Colorado on Thursday night…
The FCS level doesn’t have helmet communications but teams were allowed to do it when they play a FBS team.
That means they have to make the full investment in the system just for 1 game.
North Dakota St spent the money.

Of course, it’s not uncommon for North Dakota to play FBS schools as they truly are a very good football program but it’s not common for them to spend money to even the playing field the way they are now.
Now people think that this could turn into one of the best games of the week and that Colorado has no idea what Sanders and Colorado got themselves into, when scheduling this game.
“Best thing about this game? We’re going to find out how good Colorados up front transfers are right away,” one comment said.
“If ndsu pulls the upset where would it rank against fbs vs fcs upsets would this win be bigger than the bisons win against Iowa in 16,” said another.
“NDSU has ruled FCS football for yearssssss. They’re definitely capable of the upset,” continued a third.
“Can’t wait for The Bison to kick Prime in his grill,” continued a fourth.
If NDSU does pull off the upset, it would be a major blow for Deion Sanders, who could already be in the hot seat after Week 1.
Colorado Needs a Bounce-Back Season, Beginning With A Win vs. North Dakota State
Last year, Deion took over the college football world when he took over the Colorado football program.
In fact, despite finishing with a 4-8 record and dead last in the Pac-12, he was even named the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year.
However, hype can only take you so far without many positive results, and there are already rumors that he could be fired if Sanders can’t produce a winning season this year.
