North Dakota State romps to 52-24 victory over South Dakota

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Cam Miller threw a touchdown pass and added one of North Dakota State’s six rushing scores as the Bison rolled to a 52-24 victory over South Dakota on Saturday.

Tamerik Williams opened the scoring with a 1-yard TD run in the first quarter. Miller connected with Phoenix Sproles for a 75-yard touchdown and then scored on an 8-yard run to make it 21-0 after one quarter.

Christian Watson’s 43-yard TD run gave the Bison (10-1, 7-1 Missouri Valley Football Conference), ranked fourth in the latest FCS coaches poll, a 28-0 lead just three minutes into the second quarter.

Miller completed 19 of 23 passes for 219 yards. Williams rushed for 60 of the Bison’s 301 yards on the ground — scoring twice. Jalen Bussey and Kobe Johnson also had scoring runs.

Freshman Carson Camp passed for 196 yards and two scores with one pick for the 16th-ranked Coyotes (7-4, 5-3). Michael Mansaray and JJ Galbreath had touchdown receptions.
