FARGO, N.D. — At this time last season, North Dakota State offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham was just getting a feel for the team.

FARGO, N.D. — The defending national champion NDSU Bison football team returned to the practice field this week for spring practices.

FARGO, N.D. — Things look a little different this spring for NDSU practices. The NCAA allows 15 spring practices, and in the past that has consisted of 14 workouts and a spring game.

FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota State has not had many question marks around the quarterback position since Carson Wentz first stepped into the role.
