Second-Half Surge Lifts Bison To Another NCAA Title Over SHSU

FRISCO, TX. — When you have a chance to slay a dragon, you better have all of your weapons ready.

Sam Houston State had numerous opportunities to thrust defending champion North Dakota State onto the ropes in Saturday afternoon's NCAA Division I Football Championship game at FC Dallas Stadium.

But numerous Bearkat mistakes and stout red zone defense from NDSU allowed the Bison to roll to a 39-13 rout and their second straight national title.

North Dakota State cornerback Marcus Williams picked off two of the four interceptions the Bison defense forced, while quarterback Brock Jensen scored three times and running back Sam Ojuri added two more touchdowns to help NDSU turned a 10-10 halftime deadlock into a 29-3 outburst in the second half.
