2009 BISON FOOTBALL 124 BISON IN THE PLAYOFFS 1990 NCAA Championship FLORENCE, AL--North Dakota State exploded for touchdowns on all fi ve of its possessions in the third quarter and turned the NCAA Division II football championship into a 51-11 rout over Indiana U. of Pennsylvania. Quarterback Chris Simdorn (at right), the Harlon Hill recipient as the nation's top player in Division II, demonstrated why he won the award as he ran for 145 yards and two touchdowns, and passed for 179 yards (completing four of eight tries) and three scores. His 324 yards in total offense was a school playoff record. Tony Satter's 174 yards (on just 12 carries) lifted his 1990 tournament yards to 619 to break the NCAA record of 580 set by Johnny Bailey of Texas A&I in 1988. It was the eighth straight time that Satter had ran for over 100 yards in playoff action. The NDSU defense sacked IUP quarterbacks 10 times for 69 yards in losses including Bison outside linebacker Todd Wash, who was in on six sacks.

The loss for NDSU, the defending national champion, was the fi rst opening-round defeat for a Bison team in championship play in 12 postseason tournaments dating back to 1976. And, it snapped a 14-game home fi eld winning streak in playoff action for the Herd. The Mavericks did it in workmanlike fashion, driving 59 yards with the opening kickoff to put the Bison in an early hole and scored again on the next possession. MSU's play in the opening 16 minutes was so dominating that NDSU had the ball for only three offensive snaps. The Bison averted the shutout early in the fourth quarter when Arden Beachy found split end T.R. McDonald for a 20-yard scoring pass. The Maverick defense limited the Bison rushing game to just 90 yards on a cold, windy day while MSU racked up 238 yards rushing and attempted just two passes. MSU had the ball for over 39 minutes in avenging a 21-13 regular-season loss to the Herd. Statistics MSU NDSU First Downs 17 11 Yds. Rushing 70-238 29-90 Yds.

The Bison rolled up 493 yards rushing and totaled 36 minutes of ball possession in upping their season chart to 10-1 and setting up a quarterfi nal matchup between the top two ranked teams in the nation. NDSU posted a pair of touchdowns in each of the fi rst two quarters to race to a 28-0 halftime advantage. NDSU iced the game by driving 92 yards and scoring on junior quarterback Arden Beachy's 16-yard TD pass to junior split end T.R. McDonald. The Bison closed out the scoring a minute later following a fumble recovery and a 29-yard run by junior Raul Sanchez. Sanchez was one of three Bison backs with over 100 yards rushing. He totaled 105 yards on 10 carries while senior Mark Hansen churned out 164 yards in 14 carries including two fi rst-half TDs. Beachy scored once, collecting 112 yards on 25 carries.

1992 NCAA Quarterfi nals PITTSBURG, KS--NDSU's dream of a ninth national grid championship died just an inch short of the goal line as the Bison fell 38-37 in overtime to defending national champion Pittsburg State. Billed as a classic confrontation between the two clubs that had won the last two national crowns, this game did not disappoint. The two clubs each mounted a pair of long fi rst-half drives to go into the locker room at 14-all. NDSU opened up 24-14 and 31-20 leads in the second half before Pitt State tied the contest on Ronnie Moore's fourth TD of the game and a 39-yard fi eld goal by Jeff Wood with two seconds left. Moore scored again in the overtime, the fi rst ever played by a Bison team, but NDSU closed to within one at 38-37 on Arden Beachy's 26-yard pass to Craig Geren. The Bison opted for the win with a two-point conversion try but were stopped short up the middle. But a penalty against PSU gave the Herd a second chance and Mark Hansen's desperation dive for the goal line wide right on the pitch came up an agonizing inch short.

It took three overtimes before a jubilant Bison squad prevailed 18-12 in a sea of rain and mud. Field conditions were poor at best during pre-game warmups and rapidly deteriorated as a driving rain continued. Pitt State, undefeated and ranked third in the nation, drew fi rst blood late in the fi rst quarter. But, on a day when the kicking game was impossible, the PAT kick failed. NDSU put together a long drive that consumed the fi nal 8 1/2 minutes of the third period and tied the game on Rob Hyland's 1-yard run on the fi rst play of the fourth quarter. The Bison could have won the game in regulation after Mikel Kallenbach's pass interception with 1:26 left, but it was impossible to handle the fi eld goal snap in the sea of mud on the 23-yard attempt. Both teams scored in the second overtime with NDSU's TD coming on a fourthdown pass from Hyland to Swanson from seven yards out. The Bison collected the winner in the third overtime when Hyland hit Kelly Artz with a 21-yard completion to the 1-yard line. Hyland scored three plays later and the Bison secondary batted down a Pitt State desperation fourth-down pass at the goal line to end the game. Statistics PSU NDSU First Downs 15 13 Yds.

It was the fi rst time since 1945 that the two arch-rivals had met twice in the same season and the fi rst ever postseason meeting between the Bison and the Sioux. The Bison scored fi rst as they marched 66 yards in 11 plays to score on Rob Hyland's 1-yard dive. UND put together a long drive at the beginning of the second quarter to tie the contest before coming up with the vital miscue. NDSU drove into UND territory on its fi rst four possessions of the second half but came away with nothing after being stopped on downs twice and turning the ball over on pass interceptions twice.
