Sam Houston, North Dakota State Set for FCS Rematch

Sam Houston State rushed out to a 35-0 lead, but barely hung on to defeat Eastern Washington, 45-42 and reach the FCS national championship game for the second straight year.

North Dakota State defeated Georgia Southern, 23-20.

Eastern Washington had 523 yards of offense, but only 42 rushing.  Sam Houston had 503 yards of offense, with 418 coming on the ground.
