UNC football looks for its first win of the year on Saturday
GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado heads deep into Texas this weekend for its final non-conference game of the season. The Bears take on the Cardinals of Lamar with a 5 pm MT kick off. The contest will air on ESPN+ and over the airwaves of 1310 KFKA & 103.1 FM.
