Bad weekend for the Great West

The Great West Football Conference isn’t looking so great this year.
For the first time since the league was formed in 2004, a Great West team did not win a game on opening weekend.
South Dakota State kicked off a week to forget on Thursday with a four overtime loss to Western Illinois, falling 29-26.
The Great West then went 0-for-3 on Saturday as Southern Utah lost at Montana, 37-17, UC Davis lost a hot one at home to DII Western Washington, 28-21, and Cal Poly suffered a “third quarter debacle” in the words of head coach Rich Ellerson and lost at unranked Texas State, 38-35.
So when does league favorite North Dakota State play again?
Here is Saturday’s schedule, which doesn’t look any easier for the Great West:

Saturday, Sept. 8, games:
Cal Poly at Idaho, 2:05 p.m.
UC Davis at Portland State, 6:05 p.m.
Stephen F. Austin at North Dakota State, 6 p.m.
North Dakota at Southern Utah, 6 p.m.
South Dakota State at Youngstown State, 5 p.m.
