Ferris State has been on a tear since a season-opening loss, and the Bulldogs are on the verge of locking up at least a share of their seventh Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title since the turn of the century and fourth since 2018.

Saginaw Valley State has continued to perform well this season and has emerged as one of the top teams in the conference behind Ferris State and Grand Valley State. 

Last week, Ferris State handled Northern Michigan 55-9, and SVSU took care of Davenport, 24-14.

SVSU and Ferris State will meet Saturday at Top Taggart Field in Big Rapids, Michigan. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Eastern, live on FloFootball.
