A strong defensive performance lifted North Dakota State to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Saturday afternoon.

The Bison defense played extremely well in the post-season, holding high-scoring teams Georgia Southern and Sam Houston State to a total of 13 points over the last two games.

Both defenses played a great game, but the Bearkats fell under the weight of one great drive by the Bison offense and too many second-half miscues. Credit North Dakota State for coming out and taking control from the start of the second half.

Credit both teams for a good game. Congratulations North Dakota State on your first Division I football title.

Now we turn our attention to the 2012 season.
