Following the great season that UND has had, winning the WAC championship, winning 9 of 12 games and defeating Boise State on the blue turf.
They have earned a bowl bid in the Hawaii Bowl where they will take on the Houston Cougars. This is a major accomplishment for UND as it is their first year in the FBS and to make a bowl game, let alone win their conference, is something not seen before.
"We had key wins against Hawaii and Boise State. Those were two tough teams we were really worried about in our WAC schedule. Our guys exceeded expectations and I am proud to have them on my team." Coach Mussman said following the announcement that they made the Hawaii Bowl, which is played at 8:00 PM on December 24.

UND has won the WAC after defeating Boise State, @Boise, 20-13. The Sioux got off to a rough start turning the ball over on their first 2 drives but were able to stop Boise from doing much on offense as well. Noah Dombrovski had the go ahead touchdown that was a 53 yard reception.
Boise was restricted offensively thanks to some excellent defending by UND.
UND has secured a bowl birth, however they do not know which bowl as of yet. They went 9-3(7-1).
Coach Mussman on the season:
"We had the best first season ever. Many doubted us in this game against Boise State, saying that our only wins have been against 'creampuff' teams. With this victory I think we were able to silence those critics and prove that we are a true force to be reckoned with. I look forward to preparing for our bowl game."
Defensive Tackle Ty Boyle broke the single season and single game sack records for UND, with 16 and 4 respectively.
