North Dakota St. shuts down Southern Illinois 24-3; Dakota Marker Game next
CARBONDALE, I.L. (Valley News Live) – It is another successful business trip for North Dakota State Football, as the Bison pulled away in the second half and shut down the Southern Illinois Salukis 24-3 Saturday.
The defense was spectacular throughout the game, with linebacker Logan Kopp starring for the Bison. He led the team with seven tackles and recorded one of NDSU’s five sacks in the contest.
Barika Kpeenu, Chris Harris, and Marty Brown each scored a touchdown to build a lead and eventually extend it for the 21-point win.
Now, the focus shifts to the Fargodome and perhaps the most anticipated game of the FCS season, a 1-2 battle with South Dakota St. in the Dakota Marker Game.
It will be a nationally televised game on either ESPN2 or ESPNU, and the kickoff time, which likely will be announced Sunday, will be either 6:30 or 7:30 p.m.
