FARGO, N.D. – No. 4 North Dakota State dominated every facet of the game from the opening kickoff onward as the Sycamores concluded their 2016 season with a 41-17 loss to the five-time defending national champion Bison at the Fargodome on Saturday.
The Sycamores (4-7, 2-6 MVFC) gave up 21 points in the first quarter alone to the ever-impressive Bison (9-1, 6-1 MVFC), which was more than enough to coast to victory en route to outgaining ISU 316-244.
NDSU set the tone early with an 84-yard punt return for a touchdown with 12:03 left in the first, before the Bison could even go on offense.
