The following week on Saturday, Aug. 30, Portland State will travel to Provo, Utah, to take on the BYU Cougars of the Big 12 Conference. Two more road trips follow, as the Vikings will trek to Grand Forks, N.D., to face the North Dakota Fighting Hawks on Sept. 6 and then to Honolulu, Hawaii, to meet the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors on Sept. 13.

Portland State finished the 2024 season 3-8 overall and 3-5 in conference action. The Vikings have not made an appearance in the FCS Playoffs since the 2015 season, which was also the last time they finished with a winning record.
That is a brutal OOC schedule for the Vikings to start the season.
