Yea, EWU at NDSU is essentially the FCS "Game of the Week" this weekend. Most of you all are pretty well aware of the strengths of NDSU, but EWU has a decent QB and THE BEST WR in the FCS (and many consider him one of the top WRs in all of college football this year), Cooper Kupp. Can the NDSU DBs do enough to stop him? That's the big question going into the game.
