Late TD run by Watkins gives WSC football 33-28 win in season opener at UMary

A nine-yard TD run by senior running back Anthony Watkins, his second of the game, gave Wayne State a 33-28 season opening Northern Sun Conference football win Saturday night at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota.  It was Wayne State's first road win to open the season since 2012 (49-6 at MSU Moorhead).  It also marked the sixth time in 11 career meetings against UMary that the game was decided by seven points or less.
