NDSU (4-1, 1-1 MVFC) scored on its first two possessions with Cam Miller's 23-yard touchdown pass to Zach Mathis and Miller's 9-yard touchdown run.
Cole Payton added a 20-yard TD run and Mathis caught a 33-yard TD from Miller as the Bison built a 28-7 halftime lead. NDSU had 351 total yards at intermission.
Mathis finished with six receptions for a career-high 160 yards and two touchdowns and Miller was four yards shy of a career high finishing 16 of 20 for 256 yards. Payton threw his first career touchdown pass, a 4-yard strike to Jake Lippe.
St. Louis native Logan Kopp had nine tackles, two pass breakups, and forced and recovered a fumble. Fellow NDSU linebacker Julian Wlodarczyk made a team- and career-high 10 tackles with two pass breakups.
The Bison defense had 11 pass breakups plus three interceptions by Luke Weerts, Jayden Price and Cole Wisniewski, who returned his pick 64 yards.
