North Dakota State Shuts Out Fordham 38-0
North Dakota State is 2-0, and Fordham is on the wrong end of a 38-0 shutout. The Bison did it with 376 total yards, no turnovers and one touchdown that the offense had nothing to do with.
The first points were a 39-yard Drew Klein field goal in the first quarter. DJ Scott ran in from three yards early in the second to make it 10-0, and Nathan Hayes hit Chris Kiel from eight yards with 55 seconds left in the half for 17-0. That was the halftime score. Then the third quarter turned it into a rout. Marion Moore took an interception back 37 yards for a touchdown at 13:56, Scott scored again from seven yards at 10:51, and Hayes found Mekhi Collins from 12 yards at 4:28 to make it 38-0. Nobody scored in the fourth.
Hayes was 18 of 22 for 210 yards and two touchdowns, and the Bison finished with 245 passing yards and 131 rushing on 41 carries. They sacked Fordham three times and did not throw an interception or lose a fumble. Fordham was blanked and drops to 0-1, while the Bison (who already had a game under their belt) pick up a second win.
Fordham did not score a point and did not get within a touchdown of the Bison at any stage. Subtract the pick-six and the Bison still win 31-0, which tells you what kind of day it was.
For fantasy, Scott was the top scorer with 21.6 Promethium points on 11 carries for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Hayes put up 20.2 and Kiel 14.7.
