FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Nathan Hayes threw for two touchdowns, DJ Scott ran for two and North Dakota State allowed just 135 total yards in a 38-0 win over FCS-opponent Fordham on Saturday.
NDSU’s shutdown defensive effort included a 37-yard pick-6 by Marion Moore that gave the Bison a 24-0 lead one minute into the second half.
Hayes completed 18 of 22 passes for 210 yards. His touchdowns were 8 yards to Chris Kiel and 12 yards to Mekhi Collins.
Scott had 60 yards rushing, including touchdown runs of 3 and 7 yards. The Bison had 128 yards rushing and 245 yards passing for a total offense of 373 yards.
The 10-time FCS national champion Bison improved to 2-0 in their first season at the FBS level.
Fordham (0-2) was held to 135 yards, 49 of which came on the Rams’ final drive that ended in an interception at the NDSU 20-yard line. It was Gunnar Smith’s third interception; he also lost a fumble.
Fordham linebacker Andrew Osmun had 13 total tackles, seven solo tackles, one sack and three tackles for loss.
