North Dakota State's special teams help Bison beat Nevada 31-17
FARGO, N.D. (AP) --- Nathan Hayes accounted for three touchdowns and Jackson
Williams returned a missed field-goal attempt 100 yards for a touchdown to help
North Dakota State beat Nevada 31-17 on Saturday night.
Nevada jumped out to an 11-0 lead early in the second quarter before Williams
scored on a 5-yard run and then tossed a 21-yard touchdown pass to Mekhi
Collins.
Williams was in the end zone when he caught Joe McFadden's field-goal attempt
from 57 yards. Williams broke a couple of tackles and then ran along the
sideline for a score to give the Bison a 19-11 lead at halftime.
Early in the third quarter, AJ Bianco's 19-yard touchdown pass to Gary Givens
III pulled Nevada to 19-17. The Wolf Pack tried a trick play on the 2-point
conversion attempt, fumbled the ball and Matthew Stenbroten ran it back to give
the Bison the two points and a 21-17 advantage.
Hayes' 12-yard touchdown pass to Reis Kessel early in the fourth quarter capped
the scoring.
Hayes completed 19 of 25 passes for 153 yards for North Dakota State (6-1, 3-1
Mountain West Conference), which bounced back from its 13-7 loss at UNLV.
Bianco was 17-of-34 passing for 190 yards but threw two interceptions for
Nevada (2-4, 1-2). He also scored on a 15-yard run in the first quarter.
