The Star's longtime columnist asks — and answers — key questions heading into Saturday night's nonconference game at Arizona Stadium.

A: Former Arizona football coach Darrell Mudra is your man. He coached the Bison to their first of 17 national championships in 1965, finishing 11-0 and placing himself on the football map. Before that, NDSU football had been invisible.

Parrish is now the director of football operations at Western Michigan and Byrne, of course, is the AD at Alabama. Maybe Bison fans are a bit jaded by beating Towson State, Sam Houston State, Eastern Washington, Montana State and others for the national title and consider a conquest of a Pac-12 team more exciting endeavor.A: No Pac-12 team has ever done so in a regular-season game — not even ASU in its best years, such as its '87 and '98 Rose Bowl clubs.
