Brief Description
Unlike the last playoff game in Fargo against Montana State, wintery conditions seemed to tip the balance in favor of NDSU as Northern Michigan fumbled eight times, losing it four times. A typical seven degree, windy and snowy late fall day welcomed the Wildcats. Michigan might be chilly but North Dakota is tundra cold. In their third playoff game, the Bison upped their pass completion total to seven.
