  "account": "HONOLULU (AP) — DJ Scott secured a 16-play, fourth-quarter drive with a touchdown run, while Ray James Jr. intercepted a pass 49 yards for a score as North Dakota State defeated Hawaii 21-13 on Saturday night. Logan Larson intercepted a pass from Micah Alejado early in Hawaii's second possession, setting up the Bison at the Rainbow Warriors' 11-yard line. Nathan Hayes scored on a 7-yard touchdown pass to Mekhi Collins to give the Bison a 7-0 lead after the first quarter. DeVon Rice added a 15-yard touchdown run with 4 seconds left before halftime, making it a 7-7 game. Hawaii took the lead in the third quarter with field goals of 28 and 33 yards from Sean Olvera-Harle, putting them ahead 13-7 into the fourth quarter. NDSU's 69-yard drive, which took 8:37 off the clock, resulted in Scott scoring the winning touchdown. Despite only gaining 183 yards of offense, the Bison secured a victory. Alejado finished with 231 yards and two interceptions on 31-of-47 passing. Hawaii's rushing offense was ineffective, gaining only 31 yards on 26 carries. North Dakota State will next host Northern Illinois.",
