FCS Championship Recap: North Dakota State 17, James Madison 13

The North Dakota State Bison are kings of the FCS once again. North Dakota State avenged its semifinal loss to the James Madison Dukes last season with a 17-13 win over JMU to win its sixth title this decade. The Bison relied on its defense to carry them in this one, as they forced three turnovers in the win.

Both defenses were amazing in this one. Neither side was able to gain more than 270 total yards on the day, and neither team could establish the run like it wanted to.

It was a far cry from what these teams did on their way to Frisco.
