FARGO (AP) - The defending champions of the Football Championship Subdivision are expected to raise their title banner before Saturday's season opener against Robert Morris.

North Dakota State defeated Sam Houston State in January to win the school's first Division I title. It came in NDSU's fourth year of eligibility after making the transition from Division II.

The Bison are poised to make another run at the playoffs. They return six starters on offense, seven on defense and their game-breaking kick returner.

NDSU has sold out every home game this season.

Bison players say they may take time during the title ceremony to reflect on last season, but then it's back to business.

Says linebacker Grant Olson, "I know the fans will be really excited, but we're just ready to play football again.''
