Brief Description
The talk before the game was that the Towson team simply would overpower the smaller Bison. The Bison weren't having any of it and won in the trenches and rushed for over 300 yards to start their march to the championship. If memory serves, the field had snow on it but the picture in the NDSU Media/Recruiting Guideshows a bare field. It makes a better story if the game took place on a snow-covered field so snow-covered it is as far as I'm concerned.
