Number 3

Bison running back King Frazier had a very big day against his biggest test this season. On 4th and 2, North Dakota State went for it, down by a touchdown in the 4th quarter. Stick handed Frazier the football and he was immediately met at the line of scrimmage.

But Frazier wasn’t done. He drove and twisted and gained three yards to keep the drive alive with under 6 minutes left in the game. This play was huge for the Bison confidence and led to a TD pass from Easton Stick to Chase Morlock, which brought NDSU within 1 point of Iowa (21-20).
