Sep. 7—GRAND FORKS — Eric Schmidt's coaching background is deep in evening kickoffs.
He was an ******* istant during UND's era in the western-based Big Sky Conference. He has coaching stops at Fresno State, Washington and San Diego State.
Now, as head coach of the Fighting Hawks, Schmidt says he doesn't plan to overthink a 9 p.m. central kickoff time at Portland State on Saturday.
UND, 2-0 with a pair of blowout wins in Grand Forks, takes to the road for the first time this season. The Hawks will travel late Friday afternoon with a new No. 6 ranking in Monday's release of the Stats Perform FCS Top 25.
"I think you don't make too big of a deal about it," Schmidt said. "I can remember teams when we were on the West Coast, making a huge deal about it. How they're going to change their sleeping patterns, how they're going to travel, all that kind of stuff. Honestly, it's probably harder coming back. The next week is where really you feel it a lot of times.
