The Wildcats kept the ball on the ground during the drive, throwing only one pass.

A 56-yard drive that ended when Josh Vander Maten scrambled for a four-yard touchdown run helped South Dakota narrow the deficit to 35-7.

Venric Mark clinched a 100-yard rushing game with 20 in the quarter, part of his 117-yard day through three quarters for Northwestern.
