North Dakota State Dominates Jacksonville State 33-7 in Week 1
North Dakota State defeated Jacksonville State 33-7 in a lopsided Week 1 matchup. The Bison controlled the game from start to finish, scoring touchdowns in each of the first three quarters before adding a field goal in the fourth.
Jacksonville State managed only a first-quarter touchdown, then was shut out for the remainder of the contest. The Gamecocks' offense struggled significantly, with quarterback Caden Creel leading the team with just 85 passing yards. Receiver Khristian Lando had six receptions for the visitors.
North Dakota State's defense was relentless, forcing multiple turnovers that proved decisive. A particularly costly Jacksonville State fumble in the third quarter resulted in a Bison touchdown. The home team's offense moved the ball efficiently, with running back Myles Mitchell leading rushers with 74 yards. Quarterback N. Hayes connected on deep passes, including a 44-yard touchdown to J. McCants late in the second quarter.
The Bison's dominant performance covered the seven-point spread handily. The final score fell under the 46.5-point over-under line.
