North Dakota scores 21 points in 4th quarter, beats Tennessee Tech 31-6 in FCS playoffs
COOKEVILLE, Tennessee (KNFL/KFGO/AP) — Colton Brunell, Gaven Ziebarth and Charles Langama each had a touchdown run in the final quarter for North Dakota in a 31-6 win over No. 13 seed Tennessee Tech on Saturday in the first round of the FCS playoffs.
North Dakota will play at No. 4 seed Tarleton State in the second round game on Saturday.
Jerry Kaminski found Deng Deng in the end zone off a 21-yard pass in the second quarter to make it 10-0 for North Dakota (8-5). Later in the second half, Kaminski took a late hit to the helmet which kept him sidelined for the rest of the game.

North Dakota relied heavily on their run game after Kaminski’s injury. In the fourth quarter, Brunell scored on an 8-yard run, Ziebarth punched it in from three yards out, and Langama scored his first career touchdown off an 18-yard sprint up the middle.
North Dakota’s defense came up big multiple times, accounting for six sacks, four fumble recoveries, two interceptions and shut out Tennessee Tech for three quarters.
