FARGO, N.D. (AP) -Brock Jensen threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as North Dakota State beat Robert Morris 43-17 Saturday night in the first round of the FCS playoffs.

D.J. McNorton ran 27 times for 110 yards and a TD and caught two passes for 110 yards and a score for the Bison (8-4), who play at Montana State next Saturday.

Robert Morris (8-3), making its first appearance in the FCS playoffs, led 7-6 at halftime before Jensen, a redshirt freshman, hit on a pair of scoring passes in the third quarter. He tossed a 32-yard touchdown pass to Warren Holloway on third-and-12 and a short middle screen that McNorton took 49 yards for a score. Jensen was 10-for-24 for an NDSU playoff-record 229 yards and the Bison rolled up 482 yards of total offense.

Myles Russ ran 27 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns for the Colonials.
