BISON ROLL PAST WOFFORD IN QUARTERFINALS: North Dakota State limited Wofford’s triple-option offense to only 134 yards rushing, 120 less than the Terriers averaged coming in, and the Bison rolled to a 42-10 quarterfinal victory. Chris Board had a team-high nine tackles including one for loss, Nick DeLuca had seven tackles with a sack and forced fumble, and Caleb Butler had six tackles and a forced fumble. Nine players had at least one reception for NDSU. Easton Stick ran for a touchdown and completed TD passes to Connor Wentz, Seth Wilson and Jeff Illies. NDSU led 14-10 before tacking on three quick touchdowns in the sec-ond quarter thanks to two Wofford fumbles. The Bison held the ball for nearly 36 minutes and outgained Wofford 464-177 while holding the Terriers to just 1 of 12 on third down.

BISON TOP SAN DIEGO IN SECOND ROUND: Quarterback Easton Stick passed for three touchdowns and NDSU rushed for 301 yards in a 38-3 victory over San Diego in the second round. The Bison outgained San Diego 472-174. Bruce Anderson carried 14 times for 112 yards, Ty Brooks carried 11 times for 88 yards and a TD, and Seth Wilson rushed 13 times for 47 yards. Cam Pedersen’s season-long 47-yard field goal put NDSU ahead 17-0 by halftime and the Bison scored on their first three possessions of the second half. Nick DeLuca had an interception and two sacks to highlight the defensive effort. NDSU had seven tackles for loss.

SEVENTH STRAIGHT VALLEY TITLE: North Dakota State went 7-1 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference to win its third outright conference title (2012, 2013) and seventh straight title overall. Northern Iowa is the only other MVFC team to win seven in a row (1990-1996). NDSU’s longest streak of conference titles is seven straight (1964-1970). The Bison have won 34 conference titles altogether, including 26 in the North Central Conference and one in the Great West Football Conference (2006).

TOP TWO SEEDS MEET: The top two seeds in the FCS playoffs have advanced to the championship game for just the third time since 2009 when No. 2 seed Villanova beat No. 1 seed Montana 23-21. NDSU was the No. 2 seed when the Bison beat top-seeded Sam Houston State 17-6 for the 2011 championship.

CONSECUTIVE LOSSES: James Madison, which owns one of the only eight victories over North Dakota State since the beginning of the 2011 season, has the rare opportunity to win back-to-back games over NDSU. That hasn’t happened since 2010 when Northern Iowa, Illinois State and Missouri State each beat the Bison in back-to-back seasons.

CROWD NOISE EFFECT: The raucous environment inside the Fargodome has worked to North Dakota State’s advantage over the years, especially in the postseason. In 22 home playoff games, opposing teams have been called for 52 false starts. That is 44 percent of the opponents’ 118 penalties.

THIRD DOWN DEFENSE: North Dakota State has held its first two playoff opponents to just 4 of 41 on third down. San Diego, which entered as the No. 1 team in FCS converting 52 percent on third down, went 1 of 14 against the Bison. Wofford, which entered No. 3 in the FCS converting 50 percent on third down, was 1 of 12. Sam Houston State was 2 of 15. North Dakota State ranks third in the FCS in third down defense allowing 25 percent.

IRON MEN: Wide receiver RJ Urzendowski and long snapper James Fisher on Saturday will be NDSU’s only players to have played all 60 games in the past four seasons, one shy of the NDSU record 61 games played by safety Christian Dudzik (61 starts) and defensive end Kyle Emanuel (49 starts) from 2011-2014. Nine current Bison have played at least 50 career games: 59 by Fisher and Urzendowski, 58 by Nick DeLuca, Tre Dempsey, Jeff Illies and Connor Wentz, 56 by Grant Morgan and 54 by Austin Kuhnert and Nate Tanguay. The FCS record is 62 games by Appalachian State linebacker Pierre Banks, who made 47 starts from 2004-2008.

RECORD-SETTING DAY FOR STICK: Quarterback Easton Stick has already set an NDSU postseason record with 10 touchdown passes through the first three playoff games, including a single-game NDSU postseason record four TD passes in the semifinal win over Sam Houston State. Stick’s 27 TD passes this year are second most in NDSU single-season history behind Brock Jensen’s 34 in 2013.

BISON SET SINGLE-SEASON RUSHING RECORD: North Dakota State blew past its single-season school rushing record with a dominating 471 rushing yards in the semfinals. The Bison vaulted from seventh all-time to first with 3,949 yards surpassing the mark of 3,860 rushing yards by the 2013 national championship team. NDSU’s 47 rushing TDs are second most in school history behind the 49 rushing TDs in 10 regular season games by the 1986 national title team. NDSU’s 6.16 yards per rush are third in school history (6.41 in 1988 and 6.28 in 1984).

1,000-YARD SEASON FOR ANDERSON: NDSU junior running back Bruce Anderson has posted NDSU’s 27th 1,000-yard rushing season. He ran for a career-high 183 yards on 17 carries in the semifinal win over Sam Houston State. Anderson is averaging 82.4 yards per game and enters the championship with 1,153 yards on 216 carries averaging and 5.3 yards per carry. King Frazier was the last Bison player to hit that mark with 1,158 rushing yards in 2015.

STOPPING THE RUN: The Bison, who have allowed just 10 rushing TDs this year, continue to lead the Missouri Valley Football Conference in rushing defense with 89.2 yards per game (7th in FCS) and 2.86 yards per carry (9th in FCS). Only three other Division I NDSU teams have allowed fewer than 100 rushing yards per game in a full season.
