ESPN RECAPNorth Dakota St. beats Air Force 38-32, win first Mountain West Conference game
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- , Nathan Hayes threw two touchdown passes and scored on a 17-yard run, and North Dakota State beat Air Force 38-32 on Saturday night in the Bison's first Mountain West Conference game. North Dakota State (3-0, 1-0) joined the MWC as part of its move to the FBS in the offseason. NDSU won 10 FCS national championships from 2011-2025. Hayes completed 15 of 23 for 228 yards with an interception and had scoring strikes of 44 yards to Mekhi Collins with 5:20 left in the second quarter and 41 yards to Logan Conklin early in the third. Myles Mitchell ripped off a 31-yard run that capped a nine-play, 75-yard drive a little more than 5 minutes into the game and the Bison led the rest of the way. Hayes threw a long pass to Jackson Williams for a 51-yard gain to set up Mitchell's 1-yard TD run that made it 28-13 with 29 second left in the first half.
