Every college athlete has that moment, the one where they realize their time has come. Memories flashing like a highlight reel. This was Cam's moment, and if you could script a picture-perfect way to go out, it would look exactly like tonight's performance. Almost perfect.

North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel (OT) is a name you’re going to want to remember.

Expect the Bison to lean on him and lean on him often tonight. Wherever #74 is, the ball will be. #FCSChampionship
