Pierre Jr. scores twice in South Dakota's 38-23 win over Northern Colorado
GREELEY, Colo. (AP) --- Charles Pierre Jr. rushed for two touchdowns, Tennel
Bryant took his only carry for a score, and South Dakota defeated Northern
Colorado 38-23 on Saturday.
The Coyotes (2-0) won their first road opener in a full season since 2017, and
their fifth straight against Northern Colorado.
After the Bears (1-1) started the scoring late in the first with a 54-yard
touchdown pass from Kenny Lueth to Trey Olsen, the Coyotes answered with three
touchdowns before the break.
Bryant took the ball on a reverse and easily broke free for a 46-yard touchdown
run late in the first, Pierre ran it in from 11 yards and Austyn Modrzewski
passed to Brayden White for a 10-yard score and a 14-point lead.
Northern Colorado got within four points thanks to a first-half-ending field
goal and a seven-plus-minute scoring drive, but Pierre scored again to increase
the lead to 11.
Bryce Cohoon reeled in a 22-yard pass in the fourth to further extend the
cushion.
Lueth threw for 201 yards on 19-of-29 passing for the Bears. Olsen caught three
passes for 61 yards.
