Wayne State (0-1) at Northern State (1-0) - 6 p.m.
Aberdeen, S.D. - The Northern State football team opened its 2013 season in exciting fashion Saturday night in front of 6,134 at Swisher Field as the Wolves used a 14-point fourth quarter to help propel them to a 29-27 triple overtime win over Wayne State.
Jared Jacobson hit
Tanner White on the first play of the third overtime to put the Wolves up.
Terrelle Walker then took a pass from Jacobson into the end zone for the two-point conversion and 29-21 Northern advantage. After a three yard run by Charlie Davidson cut the lead to 29-27, the Wolves forced an incompletion on the conversion to seal the victory. NSU (1-0, 1-0 NSIC) overcame a lethargic first half in which it mustered just 66 yards of total offense and trailed 7-0 going into the break. However, the Northern defense rose to the occasion numerous times forcing the Wildcats into multiple mistakes to keep the Wolves in the game.
