As Towson prepares for Saturday’s game at 2 p.m. at No. 2 and nine-time Football Championship Subdivision champion North Dakota State (2-1), two members of the 2013 team that lost to the Bison in the FCS championship game on Jan. 4, 2014, said they are encouraged by what they have seen in the current squad.
As pleased as he was by Towson’s performances thus far, coach Pete Shinnick is taking a pragmatic view of his team’s development.
“I think we’re close, but we’re still far away,” he said. “You’ve got to find ways to come out ahead in games like that. Winning close games is what propels a team to the next level.”
