North Dakota State breaks record with 5th straight FCS national title
 |
The greatest modern college football dynasty kept rolling along on Saturday as North Dakota State won its fifth consecutive FCS national championship -- a record for consecutive titles at any level of college football -- with a dominating performance against Jacksonville State
North Dakota State cruised to a 37-10 win over the Gamecocks in Frisco, Texas. The Bison defense locked down on the dynamic Jacksonville State offense and turned a pair of first half turnovers into touchdowns as North Dakota State jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead
On offense, the Bison got a great game from star quarterback Carson Wentz, who returned after missing eight games due to a wrist injury. Wentz is one of the top quarterback prospects for the upcoming 2016 NFL Draft, ranked as the No. 4 quarterback and 36th overall in CBS Sports' prospect rankings
Wentz completed 16-of-30 passes for 197 yards 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions, looking solid in his first game back under center after the injury
Not only did Wentz spin it through the air, he showed off the wheels with 9 carries for 79 yards and two touchdowns, including a great effort this 11-yard touchdown run that put the Bison ahead 17-0

North Dakota State was able to dominate possession, as the Bison held the ball for over 40 minutes of the game and limited the Gamecocks to running just 51 plays -- only 22 in the first half
The Bison offense played a big role in controlling the clock, but the defense was able to force three-and-outs as well as a pair of turnovers -- like the terrific first half interception below -- to get the Gamecocks' offense off the field quickly
