The JMU football team is on the practice field in Frisco Texas

Houston and company pulled off an incredible win over South Dakota State in the FCS semifinals, despite the Jackrabbits being slight favorites.

When you walk into a bar or restaurant in Frisco, Texas during the week of the FCS Championship, it's nearly like the Bison have never left.

Will revenge play a factor in Saturday's game?

It's #1 vs. #2 showdown.

Top-seeded JMU is trying to become just the fourth school ever to win back-to-back FCS championships.

Both championship finalists were clearly among the class of the FCS all season long, with each possessing top-10 scoring offenses.

It may not have felt as much like a once-in-a-lifetime experience a couple years ago when NDSU was in its fifth straight national championship game.

The Bison lead the nation in total defense, allowing just 237 yards per game.

"I think the intangibles with the character and the toughness and the work ethic and the leadership that this group has allowed them to play above what their god-given ability is", said JMU head coach Mike Houston.

One element organizers were particularly proud of are videos made with and for the Bison fans, with appreciation messages from several of the players and coach Chris Klieman.

Jim Oxley/HERO Sports North Dakota State players warm up during their Thursday walk through outside Toyota Stadium. The NDSU junior is a defensive tackle on the Bison squad that has only given up 11.5 points per game this season. "These are times that you'll talk about for the rest of your life as a player".

"Oh no doubt", says Houston. "That's their thing. I promise you, they wanted this match-up. There's no doubt. And we're excited about it too". "But as we got closer, especially after we beat Sam Houston, I was looking forward to playing James Madison". Senior Bryan Schor is 29-3 in his career with the Dukes.

Organizers said it's a great way to get pumped for the game.

James Madison is undefeated at 14-0. The Dukes will now face North Dakota State as underdogs as well, as the Bison come in as a 5.5-point favorite on Saturday.

Bison fans continuing to make the trip down to Frisco, Texas by all different forms of transportation, whether it be through the air or by land.
