Henry's desperate TD throw in OT sends South Dakota State past North Dakota 34-31

GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- , Jack Henry threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Grahm Goering in overtime to give South Dakota State a dramatic 34-31 overtime win against North Dakota on Saturday. Ranked 22nd in the FCS despite entering with a four-game losing streak, South Dakota State (8-4, 4-4 Missouri Valley Football Conference) finished second in the conference and is expected to secure an at-large bid to the FCS playoffs. Kenten Laughman gave North Dakota (7-5, 5-3) a 31-28 lead to start overtime. On the Jackrabbits' ensuing drive, on third-and-8, the Fighting Hawks blitzed the middle of the line, broke through and forced Henry to escape running to his right. Without the luxury of being able to stop and plant his feet, he threw a pass across his body from the 37-yard line that an outstretched Goering snared before landing on his back.
