It took a touchdown drive of six plays and 78 yards in 61 seconds within the last two minutes of the game, down four points, but Bison quarterback Carson Wentz took it in from five yards out to give the North Dakota State Bison their fourth straight FCS football title with a 29-27 victory over the virtually equally impressive Illinois State Redbirds.
NDSU led just about the entire game, but with touchdowns on consecutive fourth drives, the Redbirds grabbed the lead under two to go, and had about half a minute to give it one last chance, but their desperation drive ended just past midfield with an interception that set off the championship celebration.
