FARGO – North Dakota State quarterback Cam Molenaar has a win against South Dakota State and the Bison regained the Dakota Marker.

Miller threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Raja Nelson with less than two minutes to play in the fourth quarter Saturday night at the Fargodome. That score gave the Bison a 13-9 victory against the top-ranked Jackrabbits in Missouri Valley Football Conference play before 18,807 fans.

The Bison snapped a five-game losing streak to the Jackrabbits, including four losses to the Dakota Marker.

Miller completed 20 of 27 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 24 yards on nine attempts.

Nelson finished with four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns. Bison linebacker Logan Kopp sealed the win with an interception with 1 minute remaining.

Below are scenes for Saturday night’s Dakota Marker showdown:
