Northern Arizona’s early stalled offense came from its inability to effectively run the ball. The Lumberjacks ran for just 69 yards in the first half, and 33 of those came in the final seconds of the second quarter as South Dakota attempted to prevent a long passing play. The Lumberjacks’ next offensive drive stalled again, but the defense stepped up to get them the ball back. Sophomore linebacker Jhasi Wilson fell on it and gave Northern Arizona the ball at South Dakota’s 44-yard line. Widener hit sophomore receiver Hendrix Johnson for a 16-yard score with 4:53 remaining in the quarter.
