FARGO, N.D. – Easton Stick passed for 188 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 83 yards and two TDs, and North Dakota State controlled the clock for nearly 41 minutes in a 36-10 victory over South Dakota State on Saturday in the FCS quarterfinals.

The Bison, who won 22 consecutive postseason games, will play host to James Madison in the semifinals. The game will be played either 6 p.m. Friday or 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Youngstown State will face Eastern Washington in the other semifinal.

Stick's first touchdown, a 3-yard run, capped a 20-play, 82 yard drive that consumed 12 minutes, nine seconds and gave NDSU (12-1) a 14-10 lead with 1:48 left in the first half.

"Where it helps us is keeping that offense they have on the sideline," NDSU coach Chris Klieman said. "It gives our defense time to make an adjustment and gives our offense a ton of momentum."

"That's huge. We talk about staying on the field," Stick said. "Guys executed and made some big plays on that drive."

A 5-yard touchdown run by Brady Mengarelli on a trick play and a 34-yard field goal by Chase Vinatieri gave the Jackrabbits (9-4) a 10-0 lead with 4:33 left in the first quarter. Lance Dunn's 49-yard scoring run about three minutes later was the first of 36 unanswered points for the Bison.

The Bison had 302 yards rushing and 490 total yards. King Frazier had 15 carries for 101 yards and Dunn added 91 yards rushing and a touchdown.

South Dakota State's Taryn Christion, who rushed for 141 yards rushing and passed for 303 in a 19-17 win over NDSU on Oct. 15, finished with only 155 yards passing with one interception on Saturday.

"Preparation. Coaches put us in great situation," Bison safety Tre Dempsey said. "We played with a little bit of extra fire."

The Jackrabbits had only 192 total yards.

"We didn't get back into the game," SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier said. "So then it becomes advantage defense when you know you have to throw the ball. Even when we ran the ball, they did a nice job of stopping us."
