Bison Media Guide from the last time NDSU played Towson. It was a cold day and the crowd was sparse.

1983 NCAA Quarterfinals
FARGO, N.D.
For the second straight year, North Dakota State opened NCAA playoff action on the home turf of Dacotah Field and the Bison responded with a 24-17 victory over Towson State of Maryland.
The Bison led 14-0 in the opening quarter of play as Jeff Willis and Jeff Bentrim collected short scoring runs. Willis' TD was set up by Jeff Willer's recovery of a fumble
on the Towson 40- yard line. Bentrim's 13-yard run in the third quarter and Ken Kubisz' 24-yard field goal in the fourth quarter upped the Bison margin to 24-10 before TSU scored with 1:10 left to cut the gap.
Freshman running back Chad Stark did not score a touchdown, but his 164 yards rushing in 26 carries was nearly an NCAA single-game
playoff record. The win was the 22nd straight at home for NDSU and the victory was the 32nd in 35 games for NDSU.
