North Dakota State s FCS-record 39-game win streak ended on Saturday with a 38-14 loss to Southern Illinois, its first defeat since 2017. The top-ranked Bison, winners of the last three FCS national championships, last lost on Nov. 4, 2017 to then-No. 8 South Dakota State.
The 39-game win streak was the third-longest in Division I history. The unranked Salukis (2-1) took a 17-0 lead on Saturday before North Dakota State (2-1) scored a touchdown on the final play of the first half. Southern Illinois added three more touchdowns in the fourth quarter to push the lead to 38-7.
