Minot State had a thrilling, screwball 104-yard kickoff return TD on DII football's opening night

WATCH: Minot State's inconceivable 104-yard touchdown from DII football's opening night

There were plenty of highlights on opening night of the DII football season but Minot State’s kick return is one we'll remember for a long, long time.
