The (FCS) champions have finally been vanquished.
Arizona became the first FBS school since 2009 to beat North Dakota State, rallying to down the Bison 31-28 on Saturday night at Arizona Stadium.
Jacob Cowing’s 22-yard catch from Jayden de Laura with 4:53 left was the game winner, a score that capped a 10-play, 78-yard drive which came after the Wildcats (2-1) stuffed the Bison (2-1) on 4th and short inside the UA 25-yard line, one of the few times they were able to slow down NDSU’s run game.
The other came right after the go-ahead score, with Arizona forcing a 3-and-out and a punt then running out the final 2:48 of game clock.
