The bad news for North Dakota State? Its record for the longest winning streak at the FCS level was broken. The good news? NDSU was the one doing the breaking.
Saturday, top-ranked and undefeated North Dakota State beat 19th-ranked Nicholls State 37-13 in the second round of the FCS playoffs. The Bison held the Colonels to a season-low in not only points but total offense (265).
The win was North Dakota State’s 34 in a row. It breaks the record of 33 in a row previously held by the same Bison in 2012-14.
