State's dynasty resumes with another national championship, as the Bison
avenge their 2016 playoff loss to James Madison with a 17-13 win in Frisco,
TX. I have attended the past three FCS title games, and this one was the most
competitive by far. NDSU went up 7-0 and then led the rest of the way. JMU had the ball inside the NDSU 25-yard
line seven times but only scored one TD and two field goals. They also turned
it over twice and missed a field goal before being stopped on downs on their
final possession. This is NDSU's sixth national title in the past seven
years. JMU suffered their first loss to an FCS team since the 2015
tournament. |
