(STATS) -- What its often like playing on the FCS level is evident with Portland States road trip this week.The Vikings, who beat two FBS programs last year, are off to play another one, but they will come to know the way to San Jose (State) by bus -- all 1,340 miles round-trip.The bonding experience on such a trip is part of Portland States success under second-year coach Bruce Barnum, the 2015 STATS FCS Coach of the Year.

They hope to continue the magic in their first-ever meeting with San Jose State (0-1).Were going to run the football until they stop it. Thats our M.O., Barnum said. Take that, go down there, try to find some holes. A couple new tweaks with the run game -- very minor. Were not going to change us.That includes choice of travel.
