North Dakota State outlasts Eastern Washington in shootout

Wide left and a quick TD lifts the Bison again

Who evades defeat on missed field goals and then scores on the first play of overtime back-to-back games for victories?

North Dakota State, the five-time defending FCS champion.

Sophomore running back Lance Dunn sped home for a 25-yard touchdown as the top-ranked Bison (2-0) captured a 50-44 win in overtime over Eastern Washington. It concluded a four-hour FCS football marathon at the Fargodome with 1,000-plus yards of total offense between the two squads.

After an impressive 45-42 win over Washington State, the eighth-ranked Eagles (1-1) looked to upset the defending champs.
