How to Watch Tarleton State at Portland State: Stream College Football Live, TV Channel

Tarleton State is coming off a FCS Playoff run, when they start the season on the road against Portland State on Saturday.

The season kicks off Saturday afternoon when Portland State hosts No. 10 Tarleton State. This is the earliest start in program history for Portland State. Previously, the earliest start for the Vikings came against BYU on Aug. 26 in 2017. That will be Portland State’s opponent next week on the road. The Vikings are looking to improve on 3-8 in 2024, with a 3-5 record in the Big Sky Conference. The Vikings will go through a transformation this season with only nine starters returning from last season. Portland State will have a new quarterback this season after the school has only had two starting QBs since 2017 in Davis Alexander and Dante Chachere. The later now plays for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League.
