Below, we’ll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game. How to Watch North Dakota State vs. Air Force Players to Watch North Dakota State’s move into the Mountain West gets its first real road test at Air Force, and Hayes has given the Bison no reason to worry through two games. The redshirt was nearly flawless in a 38-0 win over Fordham, completing 18 of 22 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns as North Dakota State improved to 2-0 in its first FBS season. Air Force’s defense already has two interceptions this year, and an option-heavy roster that blitzes more than NDSU’s FCS opponents did will test how Hayes handles pressure he hasn’t faced yet. A clean outing keeps the Bison undefeated as they open conference play on the road. Air Force’s triple-option offense lives and dies with its quarterback’s decisions, and Szarka has been outstanding running it early this season. The junior rushed for two touchdowns and helped pile up 431 rushing yards in a 34-0 season-opening rout of Duquesne, building on a breakout 2025 that included 922 rushing yards, 1,294 passing yards and a spot on the Maxwell Award watch list. North Dakota State arrives as a first-year Mountain West member off two lopsided FCS wins, and its defense hasn’t faced an option quarterback who reads the edge the way Szarka does. If he controls tempo again, the Falcons stay unbeaten. A physical, downhill runner who already looks comfortable in short yardage, Scott scored twice on just 11 carries against Fordham, piling up 60 yards including a 7-yard touchdown. That kind of efficiency matters against Air Force, a team built to control the ball with its own option offense and limit how many possessions an opponent gets. If Scott finds room against a Falcons front that just held Duquesne to 107 total yards, North Dakota State can shorten the game further and keep its two-game winning streak, and its Mountain West debut, on track. Air Force leaned on the ground game from the opening snap, and Conti delivered, leading all rushers with 74 yards as the Falcons piled up 431 yards on the ground in a 34-0 win over Duquesne. The option attack depends on backs who finish their blocks and turn a mesh read into extra yardage, and Conti did that consistently against an FCS defense. North Dakota State just held Fordham to 135 total yards, but the Bison are adjusting to a jump from FCS to FBS, and controlling a physical, option-based rushing attack is a different challenge than anything they saw last season. If Conti keeps chewing up yardage on early downs, Air Force controls the clock and limits how many possessions NDSU’s offense gets.
