FCS Playoff Review: North Dakota State 9, Illinois State 3 | |
The Score - No. 1 North Dakota State (14-0) beat Illinois State (10-5) 9-3 in the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs. Story Line - Winning a rematch of Missouri Valley Football Conference rivals, the two-time defending national champion Bison advanced to the national semifinals for the ninth straight season, but they had to hold on precariously with defense after Griffin Crosa kicked three field goals in the second quarter. They have won 35 straight games since 2017. Game Balls - Crosa, a true freshman, converted from 38, 33 and 22 yards to stake NDSU to a 9-0 halftime lead. With Illinois State so run-oriented, junior linebacker Jabril Cox stepped up his play with eight tackles, including six solos. Also, hats off (or helmets) to Illinois State running back James Robinson (24 carries, 94 yards), who ended his three-game playoff run with 102 carries for 611 yards and three touchdowns. MORE | |
