The All-MVC Level
The clash of the titans is next weekend as NDSU travels to SDSU.
Locally:
The mobility of the NDSU offensive line is a thing of beauty and allows the team to create immense advantage at the point of attack. DB Kimal Clark led the Sycamores with 15 total tackles including 3 solos. LInebacker Braxton Sampson had 13 tackles including 4 solos.
NDSU ran the ball 52 times for a net 283 yards and passed it 20 times completing 13 led by All-Everything Bryce Lance with 4 receptions for 74 yards. QB Cole Payton was the third leading rusher with 74 yards on 10 carries and, as expected, proved capable of keeping drives alive with his legs.
