The 1982 Valley City State Vikings football team represented Valley City State University as a member of the North Dakota College Athletic Conference (NDCAC) during the 1982 NAIA Division II football season. Led by head coach Jim Dew, the Vikings finished 6–2 overall and 5–1 in NDCAC play, earning a share of the conference championship.[1]
Valley City State opened the season with a statement victory over Northern State and followed with a dramatic 7–6 win over rival Jamestown, retaining the Paint Bucket Trophy. A road loss to Dickinson State put the Vikings at 2–1, but they responded with four straight conference wins — allowing no more than six points in any of those games.[1]
The Vikings shared the NDCAC championship with Dickinson State and finished 6–2 overall. Linebacker Terry Babler was named Team MVP. Paul Leier, Jim Thies and Steve Guenther earned All-Conference honors, and both Theis and Guenther received NAIA Honorable Mention All-American recognition.
