Northwestern (Iowa) wins NAIA national championship

DURHAM, N.C. -- , Jalyn Gramstad threw three touchdown passes and ran for another to lead Northwestern (Iowa) over Keiser (Florida) University 35-25 on Saturday for the NAIA national championship. The Red Raiders (13-1) used the big play to counter long Keiser scoring drives and claim its third title in program history, the others coming in 1973 and 1983. Northwestern was making its second title-game appearance in three seasons and finished this year with a 13-game winning streak after losing its opener by a point to Morningside. Gramstad was 14-of-19 passing for 247 yards and rushed for another 128 yards on 22 carries. Cade Moser scored on a pair of big plays and had a combined 158 yards offense. Noah Van't Hof made two interceptions. The Seahawks (10-4) trailed 28-25 with just over seven minutes left after scoring on Bryce Veasley’s 1-yard run.
