Bison blow by Prairie View

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Brock Jensen threw for 192 yards Saturday afternoon as North Dakota St. (3-0) easily beat Prairie View 66-7.

Jensen was 13 of 15 attempts for the Bison, connecting with Zach Vraa for two touchdowns, including a 69-yard pass, in the first quarter.

The Bison scored 28 points in the second quarter with touchdowns from Nate Moody, John Crockett, Sam Ojuri, and Taylor Nelson, and kicks by Adam Keller. In the third quarter, Deveon Dinwiddie took over the scoring on the ground.

Deveon Dinwiddie rushed for 79 yards on 10 carries and scored three touchdowns to lead NDSU on the ground. Sam Ojuri and John Crockett also had rushing touchdowns for the Bison.

The Panthers (0-4) were scoreless until the fourth quarter when D.J. Harris caught a 7-yard pass from Jerry Lovelocke, followed by an extra point from Chris Barrick, to put Prairie View on the scoreboard.

Prairie View, which ends its nonconference stretch, is seeing its worst start since 2002 when it was 0-6.

The Bison are ranked No. 1 in the FCS Coaches Top 25 and have won eight straight games since a loss to Youngstown State in November.

With the game well in hand by the second quarter, Jensen – who suffered an injury to his non-throwing hand earlier in the game but did not leave — was pulled for backup Carson Wentz, a former standout at Bismarck Century.
