GRAND FORKS - In just two days, the UND football team will face one of the toughest opponents the program has ever faced.
The Fighting Hawks will take on the 9th ranked team in FBS football in Washington.
The Huskies were picked to win the PAC 12 in the preseason and certainly have a chance to make the College Football Playoff at the end of the season.
North Dakota hung tough with PAC 12 opponent Utah last season and that gives the Fighting Hawks faith heading into Saturday's game.
Kickoff with the Huskies is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Saturday.
