2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL MISSION

It is our mission to physically and mentally prepare the student-athlete for the rigors of collegiate athletics, by implementing professionally designed, scientifically sound training programs, designed specifically to reduce the incidence of injury and help each team and studentathlete reach their full athletic potential.

Philosophy

We believe that strength and conditioning is crucial to the complete development of the student-athlete. The philosophy of Nate Baukol Director of Strength and Conditioning our strength and conditioning program is based on the belief that what occurs in the weight room and field transfers to the playing surface. We train sport specifically with the goal of enhancing athleticism. We also believe in the importance of work ethic, attitude, accountability and mental toughness and that these qualities can be developed and enhanced through our strength and conditioning program. At the University of North Dakota, one program, functioning behind the scenes, but which should not be taken lightly, is the strength and conditioning program. The strength and conditioning program at UND is among the finest in Division I and vital to the success of all UND athletic teams. The strength and conditioning staff commits themselves to the development of size, strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, and body composition of each student-athlete. The goal of the strength staff is to develop the athlete and team to reach their maximum potential throughout their career while staying injury free. Nate Baukol, director of strength and conditioning, oversees the program and facilities. Baukol has three full-time assistant coaches and one graduate assistant coach to assist him. Together they direct and monitor the training of over 400 studentathletes in 20 sports at UND. UND also boasts some of the finest strength training facilities around. The facilities include weight rooms at the Ralph Engelstad Arena, the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center, Memorial Stadium, and the Hyslop Sports Center. Training has become a year-round activity, with a student athlete spending as much time on physical development as any other part of their sport throughout the year. Student-athletes follow either offseason or in-season programs, which are individualized specific to the athlete and sport. Off-season programs are five days a week, summer months included. Each athlete receives a comprehensive summer training manual to follow, given that a member of the strength staff wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be supervising them. In-season programs are typically 45-minute sessions, two to three days per week, supervised by the strength and conditioning staff.

2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL One of the unfortunate aspects of athletics is that injuries do occur. However, every student-athlete from UND athletic teams are under excellent care thanks to the UND Divison of Sports Medicine and its umbrella of staff, facilities and training.

Steve Westereng

With a staff of 11 faculty athletic trainers, three graduate assistant athletic trainers and 30 athletic training students headed by director of sports medicine Steve Westereng, UND student-athletes are in good hands, returning them quickly and safely to participation.

Director of Sports Medicine

The UND Division of Sports Medicine was formed in 1990. Additionally, the bachelor of science in athletic training degree and the UND Center for Sports Medicine was founded. The athletic training education program was the first program in the nation to be placed directly in a school of medicine and is housed within the Department of Family Medicine, combining the efforts of the UND Athletic Training program and the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences. UNDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progressive thinking makes the institution a leader in the field of athletic training. Moreover, the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affiliation with the School of Medicine helps both the athletic training student and the studentathlete. Completion of the bachelor of science in athletic training allows the student to sit for the board of certification exam to become a certified athletic trainer (ATC). The student-athletes also benefit from having a wealth of competent individuals getting them back into action. In order to be accepted into the athletic training program, a student must complete 100 hours of observation, fill out a formal application, and have a minimum GPA of 2.75. The Division of Sports Medicine also has an outpatient facility, the UND Center for Sports Medicine, which specializes in rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries. UND student-athletes, as well as the general public, utilize this facility to decrease pain, increase strength, and improve range of motion of injuries. Many of the injuries seen in the Center for Sports Medicine are significant, such as pre- and post-surgical issues. The center is staffed by Cathy Ziegler, PT/ATC, and Robin Tracy, PT/ ATC, who have experience with high school, college, and professional athletes.

2012 und soccer

The University of North Dakota boasts a proud history of varsity athletics nicknames. UND’s first official athletics nickname was the “Flickertails,” although its origin remains somewhat a mystery. The nickname made its first public appearance in a Grand Forks Herald account of UND’s football loss to Minnesota on Oct. 8, 1904, 15 years after UND’s first athletics contest was played. According to Lee Bohnet’s A Century of UND Sports, “The author was not identified, but there is strong evidence the nickname was coined by a Minneapolis sportswriter who may have covered the game for the Herald. The writer lauded the fighting spirit of the North Dakota players.”

The University of North Dakota adopted the interlocking ND as its official logo during the summer of 2012 following the retirement of the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. The interlocking ND will be utilized until 2015, when a new athletics nickname is selected.

In 1911, UND’s student body officially adopted “Flickertails” as its athletics nickname. UND would remain known as the “Flickertails” (as well, unofficially, as the “Nodaks”) for a third of a century, establishing an early athletics history. In the fall of 1930, the university adopted the nickname “Sioux” for its varsity teams following a successful renaming campaign by the Dakota Student, UND’s student newspaper. The word “Fighting” was later added, and UND would be known as the “Fighting Sioux” until the summer of 2012. The university utilized several”Fighting Sioux” logos throughout the decades, perhaps most notably the green geometric logo introduced in 1976 and the most recent full-color logo was unveiled in 1999. The former was designed by an artist at the UND News Bureau, while the latter was created by noted Native American artist and UND alum Bennett Brien.

UND’s most recent Fighting Sioux logo, designed by noted Native American artist and UND alum Bennett Brien, was unveiled in 1999. The logo was named the No. 1 hockey logo in the world by The Hockey News in 2009.

The University of North Dakota officially retired its longtime “Fighting Sioux” nickname and logo prior to the 2012-13 athletics season. UND’s varsity athletics teams will operate without an official nickname until 2015, when the university will undertake the process of adopting the third official nickname in school history. Until 2015, the university’s varsity athletics teams will be referred to as “the University of North Dakota,” “North Dakota,” or “UND.” The geometric Fighting Sioux logo was introduced in 976 and remained in use through the 1999-2000 season.

Following the University’s first athletic competition in 1889, UND’s earliest teams were known unofficially as the “Nodaks” (pictured above is the 1896 football team). The “Flickertails” nickname made its first appearance in a 1904 Grand Forks Herald article and was officially adopted in 1911.

The current University of North Dakota logo has been in use since the close of Centennial year activities in 1984. It serves as the official logo of the University, but typically is not used for athletics purposes.

Brian Faison is in his fifth year as athletics director at the University of North Dakota. Faison assumed his duties at UND in May of 2008. In leading UND Athletics through the Division I transition, alumni and fan support have continued to grow: Champions Club and endowment giving have enjoyed a sixth straight record year; volleyball had a third record-breaking season at the turnstile, while women’s and men’s hockey both finished second in the nation in home average attendance. Competitively, UND teams again enjoyed outstanding seasons resulting in two conference regular season championships, four conference post-season tournaments championships, three All-Americans, a national coach of the year, a record third consecutive Broadmoor Trophy, a national player of the year finalist and a second place finish in the all-sports standings of the Great West Conference.

North Dakota

2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL North Dakota plays its football home games at the Alerus Center a 12,283-seat stadium located just minutes from the UND campus in Grand Forks.

The Alerus Center will feature a brand new AstroTurf playing surface for the 2012 season that allows for rapid field conversion. Locker rooms are adorned in UND colors and are dividable into four 25-locker sections. There are also dressing rooms for coaches and officials. State-of-the art scoreboards, 15-by30 Daktronics video replay boards and a BOSE sound system make the stadium one of the most exciting places in the nation to watch Football Championship Subdivision football. The Alerus has 18 luxury VIP suites, eight concession stands, two vending stands, 14 ticket windows in three locations and four merchandise stands. There are 4,075 parking spaces available.

UND fans have been enthusiastic ever since the Alerus Center opened, but one of the most vocal crowds came in that first year as the venue hosted a 2001 NCAA semifinal game against UC Davis. In that game, UC Davis was flagged seven times for illegal procedure among its 12 penalties on the day. After the game, UC Davis players cited the noise level of the Alerus Center crowd as one of the reasons for the penalties. During the 2001 season, more than 100,000 fans turned out to watch the Sioux play at the Alerus, and UND’s regular season average attendance of 10,517 was a school record. The previous school record was 9,150 in 1976, when the Sioux drew an estimated 36,600 for four games at Memorial Stadium. UND’s average attendance was also the third-best figure nationally in NCAA Division II for 2001. UND finished fourth nationally in Division II attendance in 2000, its final season at Memorial Stadium.

Home-field advantage More than half-a-million fans have seen the Fighting Sioux post a 62-11 record at the Alerus Center in its 11 seasons of existence. That mark includes a 10-0 postseason record and a school record 23-game home winning streak from 2002 to 2005. In 2004, UND led the nation in Division II total attendance for the second straight year, with 75,110 fans passing through the gates to watch Fighting Sioux football - an average of 9,389 per game. In 2008, which was the team’s first at the FCS level, fans broke yet another attendance record as the Sioux averaged 10,617 fans for their five home games.

HEAD COACH

Year at UND: 14th year (5th as head coach) Hometown: Owatonna, Minn. Alma Mater: Iowa State (‘91)

The 2012 season will be the fifth for head coach Chris Mussman as he leads North Dakota into its first season as a Big Sky member and FCS Playoff eligibility. Mussman and his team will take the momentum of a Co-Great West Conference title, an 8-3 record and being nationally ranked to conclude a season for the first time in its Division I era to their new league. Mussman’s fourth season in the Red River Valley was the best of his head coaching tenure. His squad won seven of its last eight games, including four straight at the end to register a five-game turnaround from the 2010 season. He was named the Great West Coach of the Year by both his peers and the league’s media and was also a finalist for the FCS Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year and Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Awards. Every coach wants a Gatorade bath after his team’s final game and Mussman left the Alerus Center field soaking wet after a thrilling 38-37 victory over South Dakota that earned the Sioux a share of the final GWC football regular season title. UND rallied from a 20-point, fourth-quarter deficit to knock off the rival Coyotes. Sioux players accounted for a league-high 12 GWC Player of the Week accolades, including sophomore Jake Miller, who became the first player in league history to earn three consecutive weekly honors. Miller was also one of three players to earn first team All-GWC honors, while six others earned second team accolades. Academically, the Sioux placed 11 players on the All-GWC Academic Team and junior Emmett Lynch was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Seven Team.

Lynch was also part of an offensive line unit that Mussman took over coaching prior to the season. The O-line allowed the fewest sacks among GWC teams in 2011 and also paved the way for Miller to rank second among league rushers in yardage and rushing touchdowns. In 2010, Mussman’s third season was one of ups and downs for a young Sioux squad that reeled off all three of its wins at the Alerus Center. The UND offense averaged 45 points in those victories, outscoring its foes by an average of 30 points. A pair of seniors earned first team All-Great West accolades for their play on the field. Linebacker Ryan Kasowski earned a spot on the coaches’ team, while Joel Schwenzfeier landed a spot on the media’s team. Seven players earned Great West weekly honors, while 10 more Sioux found their names on the league’s all-academic team. Among the highlights during Mussman’s second season in 2009 were UND’s highly-anticipated road opener against its first BCS opponent (Texas Tech) since 1976, a 31-17 home victory over then 16th-ranked Cal Poly, the opportunity to play for the team’s first NCAA DI conference title, and a season-ending, down-to-the-wire, one-point win over Central Arkansas. The Sioux finished the campaign with a 6-5 mark, which was the program’s seventh straight winning season, and as the runner-up to UC Davis in the Great West standings. For their efforts on the field, nine Sioux received GWC Player of the Week honors, including sophomore Broc Bellmore, who was one of six players to be recognized more than once. Redshirt freshman Mitch Sutton was named Great West Rookie of the Year and was selected to the all-conference first team. Sutton was joined on the all-conference roster by junior Ryan Kasowski (first team), sophomore Ismael Bamba (second team), senior Kyle Bondy (second team), junior Ty Boyle (second 28

team), sophomore Dominique Hawkins (second team), senior Brandon Hellevang (second team), junior Kris Ankenbauer (honorable mention), and redshirt freshman Ross Brenneman (honorable mention). While the on field achievements were easily recognizable, coach Mussman and his staff continually urged their student-athletes to strive for success in the classroom as well. Two players received ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America honors and four were named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District team. Hellevang and senior Andrew Miller were selected to the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association Academic All-Star team and both were finalists for the ninth annual FCS ADA postgraduate scholarship. Miller becomes the first Fighting Sioux player to receive the award. He also received an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship. During his first season as the head coach of the Fighting Sioux, Mussman guided the tradition-rich program to a 6-4 record as the University of North Dakota made its NCAA Division I Football Championship debut. The Sioux registered their first victory as a DI program on Sept. 18 when they defeated the Idaho State Bengals, 38-35, in Pocatello, Idaho. They went on to finish 2-3 against DI opponents. UND was undefeated (4-0) against non-DI schools with a records of 3-0 and 1-0 against DII and DIII opponents, respectively. Mussman also led North Dakota to a 1-2 record in its first season as member of the Great West Conference alongside Cal Poly, South Dakota, Southern Utah, and UC Davis. The Sioux finished at the top of the GWC in several team categories, but most notably, they produced the league’s most productive running back (Josh Murray) and kick returner (Dominique Hawkins).

The 2008 squad was not only recognized for its efforts on the field, but in the classroom as well. Four student-athletes were honored as academic all-Americans and league-high nine were selected to the Great West allconference team. UND also topped the GWC as 16 players received fall all-academic honors. Mussman became the 25th head coach in UND football history when he was introduced at a press conference on Jan. 4, 2008, after nine seasons on the Sioux coaching staff, including the last four as assistant head coach and the last seven as offensive coordinator. Mussman possesses nearly two decades of collegiate coaching experience. During his nine seasons as an assistant on the UND staff, the Sioux went 90-24 (.789), won a Division II national championship in 2001, won five North Central Conference titles and made five NCAA Division II postseason appearances. In 2007, Mussman directed arguably the most explosive offensive unit in the history of Fighting Sioux football. UND set school records for total yards (5,924), total touchdowns (60) and regular season scoring average (40.7 points per game). UND finished the 2007 season as the NCC’s top-ranked offense in scoring, total offense, total first downs, 3rd-down conversions and time of possession. Individually, senior wide receiver Weston Dressler set a UND singleseason record for receiving yardage and was named a Harlon Hill Trophy finalist, while two of Mussman’s offensive linemen, juniors Mitch Braegelmann and Brian Troen, garnered several postseason awards between the two of them. Additionally, junior quarterback Danny Freund set UND regular season records for passing yards (2,573) and touchdowns (24), while sophomore running back Ryan Chappell shattered the team’s single-game rushing record with 306 yards against Central Washington on Sept. 15. Offensive prominence was a staple of Sioux football during Mussman’s time as offensive coordinator. UND’s offensive record books are littered with accomplishments achieved under Mussman’s watch, including the top three single-season passing yardage performances, top seven completion percentage performances and seven of the top eight marks for single-season receptions. Also, six of the top 10 highest-rated 30

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/QBs

Year at UND: 9th year Hometown: International Falls, Minn. Alma Mater: North Dakota (‘99)

Year at UND: 7th year Hometown: Baker, Mont. Alma Mater: Montana-Western (‘94)

Former UND linebacker Mike Mannausau is in his ninth season on his alma mater’s coaching staff and seventh as defensive coordinator. Prior to the 2012 season, he was elevated to associate head coach. Mannausau also works directly with the defensive line, a position he coached at UND during his first two seasons.

As UND transitions to the Big Sky Conference, Greg Breitbach begins his fifth season as the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. In his seventh overall with the program, Breitbach moved to his current position after spending two years as the running backs coach.

The 2011 defense played a huge role in leading UND to a share of the Great West title, an 8-3 record and a season-ending national ranking. The unit ranked at the top of the GWC charts in total defense, rush defense and scoring defense.

In 2011, the Sioux closed out the campaign winning seven of their last eight games en route to earning a share of the Great West title. Running back Jake Miller and wide receiver Greg Hardin both earned first team All-GWC honors. Breitbach’s offense reached 3,400 yards of total offense for the fourth straight season under his watch with a nearly 50-50 split between the run and the pass.

The defense pitched a shutout in the season-opening win over Drake and held opponents to single digits on two more occasions during the season. Mannausau’s defensive front also accounted for 17 sacks and 31.5 tackles for a loss. Junior Ross Brenneman collected All-GWC second team honors after compiling 8.5 sacks and 10 tackles for a loss. He also added 32 tackles. In 2010, the Fighting Sioux defense had six different players earn All-Great West distinction with four landing on the coaches’ all-conference team and six more being named to the media’s all-conference team. The unit ranked second in the GWC in scoring defense and tied for the league lead with 11 interceptions. One of those six standouts, Ty Boyle, signed as an undrafted free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers following his final season at UND. UND held visiting Lamar to a season-low in points during a 31-6 victory for the Sioux. One of Mannausau’s defensive ends, sophomore Ross Brenneman, led the club with four sacks and eight tackles for a loss. The Omaha native also earned All-Great West second team honors along with linemate Ty Boyle. Since UND began its transition to Division I four seasons ago, 17 of Mannausau’s defenders have been named to the Great West All-Conference team and 22 have been named academic all-conference. In 2007, UND’s defensive unit led the North Central Conference in total defense and passing efficiency and placed five players on the All-NCC first or second team defense.

Miller also became the first player in GWC history to earn three consecutive GWC Offensive Player of the Week accolades. He rushed for 942 yards and 13 touchdowns, while adding 16 receptions for 142 yards. Hardin once again ranked near the top of several GWC receiving categories, hauling in a team-high 43 passes for 549 yards and three touchdowns. In 2010, the Fighting Sioux offense racked up 3,554 yards of total offense and averaged 45 points per game in its three home wins. The 104 points combined in victories over Northeastern State and Northwestern State marked just the sixth time in program history that UND tallied triple digits in back-to-back games. Hardin and junior running back Josh Murray were named to the All-GWC second team after combining for 15 touchdowns and more than 1,500 yards of total offense. Hardin accounted for 10 of those scores, including nine through the air. Under the guidance of Breitbach in 2009, UND produced its 15th straight season with over 3,400 yards of total offense. Ismael Bamba (WR), Mitch Sutton (RB), and Jake Landry (QB) ranked near the top in the Great West Conference in their respective categories and Sutton was named the 2009 GWC Rookie of the Year. In his first year as offensive coordinator, Breitbach guided quarterback Danny Freund into the UND record books as he became the first UND signal caller to account for a trio of 300-yard games in back-to-back seasons. Freund also completed a school-record 72 percent of his passes during his final season. Breitbach also coached the Sioux to high rushing numbers as Murray led the team and the GWC with 1,146 yards rushing. He was the only conference player to register a 200-plus yard rushing game—which he did twice.

In 2006, Mannausau helped mastermind the NCC’s top-ranked defense in terms of scoring average, holding opponents to 18.8 points per game. He also tutored All-NCC first team inside linebacker Dan Ullsperger.

Since Breitbach was elevated to offensive coordinator and UND began the transition to NCAA Division I status, the Fighting Sioux have had four offensive players named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America football team and 21 have been named Great West All-Conference.

In 2005, under Mannausau, UND’s defensive linemen accounted for 21.5 sacks among the team’s league-high 42, and Ross Brennan and Jason Peterson each earned All-NCC first team honors.

In 2007, Breitbach mentored All-America running back Ryan Chappell, who set a UND single-season record with 2,180 all-purpose yards, including a school-record 306 rushing yards against Central Washington. As a team, the Sioux ran for more than 2,800 yards during the regular season - its best total in 33 seasons.

A pair of Mannausau’s players earned All-North Central Conference honors in 2004 as Peterson and junior defensive tackle Shane Duchscher both collected those accolades. UND led the NCC with 37 quarterback sacks that season. Mannausau previously served as the head football coach at Grand Forks Red River High School in 2003. Prior to that, Mannausau was a graduate assistant with the Fighting Sioux in 2001 and 2002, working primarily with the defensive line. He earned his master’s degree in kinesiology from UND in July 2003. From 1999 to 2001, Mannasuau was the defensive coordinator at Falls High School in his hometown of International Falls, Minn. A standout linebacker for the Fighting Sioux from 1994 to 1998, Mannausau lettered four times and was a 1998 Football Gazette All-America honorable mention honoree, while serving as a team captain. Mannausau received a bachelor’s degree from UND in May 1999, majoring in education/physical education and minoring in special education and coaching. In June of 2003, he received a master’s degree in kinesiology from UND. Mannausau is married to former Fighting Sioux women’s basketball standout and UND Athletics Hall of Fame member Tiffany Pudenz. They have two children, daughter Mya and son Max.

In 2006, his first season on the Sioux staff, Breitbach coached Chappell to a record-breaking season that saw the freshman become just one of two rookies to earn All-NCC honors. Breitbach came to UND after spending each of the previous three seasons as offensive coordinator at Wisconsin-Stevens Point. While at UWSP, Breitbach helped the Pointers set several offensive team records, including points per game (39.4) and single-season completion percentage (66.1). Breitbach’s 2003 offense led the nation in regular season touchdown passes and ranked among the top 10 nationally in five other categories. That season quarterback Scott Krause garnered Division III All-America first team honors and would later win a Grey Cup with the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts in 2004. Prior to UWSP, Breitbach had stints as special teams coordinator and receivers coach at Lewis & Clark College (1999-2002) and assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Montana Western (1996-1998). He also spent the 1993 and 1994 seasons as a graduate assistant at Montana Western. Breitbach received his bachelor’s degree in business education from the University of Montana-Western in 1994 and his master’s degree in education administration from Portland State in 2002. He played two seasons each at Dickinson (N.D.) State (1989-90) and Montana Western (1991-92). He and his wife, Kara, have three children: daughters Alaina and Jenna, and son, Trent.

Josh Kotelnicki, a starting linebacker on UND’s 2001 Division II national championship team, returned to his alma mater in 2008 as the team’s special teams coordinator and linebackers coach and, this past summer, he was awarded the title of assistant head coach. This is the second stint as a member of UND’s coaching staff for Kotelnicki, who served as a defensive assistant for the Fighting Sioux in 2004 and 2005, working with the outside linebackers. In 2011, Kotelnicki’s linebackers were part of a UND defense that topped the Great West Conference charts in total defense and rush defense. Senior Dan Hendrickson was a first team All-GWC performer after registering a team-high 75 tackles. Hendrickson and his fellow linebackers also accounted for 14 sacks and 30 tackles for a loss. The Fighting Sioux also boasted the best field goal-blocking unit in the country at the FCS level in 2011. In all, the special teamers blocked a FCS-high 10 kicks during the season. While that unit was busy making it tough on opposing field goal kickers, UND placekicker Zeb Miller was having a stellar season en route to All-GWC second team honors. Miller went 15-for-19 on field goals, including two game-winners. His first came from a career-long 54 yards out to beat Northern Colorado. He also drilled a 29-yarder as time expired to trump Sioux Falls. The UND return game also excelled as junior Erik Mersereau helped the punt return unit lead the GWC with an average of 17.5 ypr. He had a 79-yard return for a score at Idaho. In 2010, junior Dan Hendrickson topped the Sioux with 78 total tackles, including 54 solo stops, which were the third most in a single season by a UND player. Kotelnicki’s special teams units also enjoyed another successful campaign as Dominique Hawkins was one of the top kick returners in the GWC with a 28.4 average. Hawkins nearly housed a kick return at Montana (Nov. 12) before stepping out of bounds at the one-yard line following a 99-yard scamper. Classmate Josh Murray also had the lone punt return for a score among GWC players, racing a return back 60 yards against Lamar (Oct. 30). In 2009, UND led the GWC in both field goals and extra points with senior Brandon Hellevang leading that charge. He topped both categories, finishing 15-for-18 (.833) in field goals and 27-for-28 (.964) in PATs. He recorded two of the GWC’s longest field goals (52 yards) and owned the league’s longest punt (72 yards). Inside linebacker Andrew Miller was named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District first team and was a member of the FCS ADA Academic All-Star team. He was also awarded the NCAA postgraduate scholarship and the FCS ADA postgraduate scholarship. In his first year back with the Sioux in 2008, Kotelnicki guided the GWC’s top kick return team, which totalled 1,090 yards on 46 returns for an average of 23.7 yards per return. UND’s leading kick returner, Hawkins, led the league with an average of 24.7 return yards per game. Kotelnicki spent the 2007 season as a defensive graduate assistant at Kansas State where he coached the outside linebackers and assisted with special teams. The Wildcats’ Ian Campbell was a unanimous first team All-Big 12 selection. Prior to his stint in Manhattan, Kotelnicki served as the defensive coordinator at Truman State (Mo.) in 2006 where he helped the Bulldogs to a four-win improvement from the previous season. The Bulldogs’ scoring defense improved from ninth in the MIAA in 2005 to tied for fourth in 2006. While at UND from 2004-05, the Sioux went 21-6 and boasted one of the top defensive units in Division II in each of those two seasons. During that time, Tony Hermes (2004) and Tyler Dahlen (2005) received first team All-NCC honors, while Brook Maier (2005) and Tyler Dahlen (2004) received second team honors. Kotelnicki began his coaching career at Murray State (Ky.) University, where he served as the Racers’ linebackers coach and assistant offensive line coach for two seasons. While at Murray State, Kotelnicki helped the Racers improve their pass defense from 64th nationally to fourth in just one season. He also helped the offense set a school record with 2,849 rushing yards in a single season. A 2002 graduate of UND, Kotelnicki served as a team captain for the 2001 national championship game against Grand Valley State. He received his bachelor’s degree in psychology and later earned a master’s degree in business administration from Murray State in 2003. He and his wife, Sarah, reside in Grand Forks.

Sophomore Jake Miller earned All-Great West Conference first team honors and became the first player in league history to earn three consecutive GWC Offensive Player of the Week accolades. Miller finished the campaign with 942 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns, which both ranked second among GWC backs.

Freshman Daryl Brown was responsible for those two interceptions as the redshirt freshman added 30 total tackles and four pass breakups en route to earning a spot on the College Sports Journal FCA All-Freshman team.

Freund’s rushers averaged nearly 150 yards per game on the ground, accounting for more than 1,500 yards. Miller and junior Mitch Sutton combined for five 100yard rushing efforts and the ground attack churned out a season-high six rushing scores against Black Hills State.

2012 north dakota FOOTBALL

One transition is behind the North Dakota football team and one more is on the horizon for 2012, but this latest move will not temper expectations around the program as it embarks on year one in the Big Sky Conference. The UND footballers went 3-1 against their future conference bretheren in 2011 and were ranked No. 23 overall in the final Sports Network/ Fathead.com poll after finishing with an 8-3 record. Head coach Chris Mussman and his squad also have their eyes set on a second consecutive conference crown after earning a share of the Great West title in what was their final season in the league and last in the team’s transition to Division I. Mussman will not have the same Green and White-clad team for his first go-around, but the fifth-year head coach likes the pieces he has in place to see how his team stacks up with the best of the Big Sky.

“I know our kids are confident and looking forward to the challenge,” Mussman said of the transition to the BSC. “It’s our job as coaches to get us through fall camp healthy to give ourselves a fair chance.

Senior Mitch Sutton will be back to 100 percent after battling through some nagging injuries last year. He averaged 3.8 yards per carry and finished with 290 yards in eight games (three starts). Sophomore Jer Garman was the only true freshman to see action for UND in 2011. He appeared in all 11 games and picked up 4.6 yards per carry (59 for 270, 2 TDs). “I’m comfortable with the depth we have at running back,” Mussman said. “Jake will be the No. 1 going in, but we are going to need all of those running backs before the season is over. “We want to take some carries away from Jake, but not too many, so he does not get to beat up throughout the season in a league we anticipate to be very physical.”

“We want to see where we fit in the league, where our depth is compared to some of the other Big Sky teams. We want to find out if we are we athletic enough, deep enough to go toe-to-toe, week-in and week-out, and that is what we will have to do here in year one.”

Junior Adam Shaugabay played in all 11 games with most of that action coming on special teams, but when he did tote the rock, the bruising back gained 5.2 yards per carry and scored on a 19-yard run against Black Hills State. Redshirt freshman P.J. Sparks will also try to crack the rotation at the running back position. He got some extensive looks in spring camp and will get a fair shake when fall camp arrives.

QUARTERBACKS

FULLBACKS

North Carolina transer Braden Hanson arrived on campus in January looking for more playing time and a chance to earn the starting job in what will be his final collegiate season in 2012. And, after a solid debut during spring camp, the left-handed signal caller did just that as he enters the fall No. 1 on the depth chart. Hanson, who saw limited action in his four seasons in Chapel Hill, was waged in a serious battle with junior Joey Bradley for the top spot on the depth chart. Bradley, who has since left the program, went 4-3 as a starter in 2011, which was the JUCO transfer’s first season at UND. “Braden and Joey were locked in a pretty good fight in the spring,” Mussman said. “Braden emerged as the No. 1, but there was going to be a competition this fall between those two. “I’m saddened that Joey has left the program, but this just opens the door for other guys to step up in his absence.” Backing up Hanson now will be senior Marcus Hendrickson, who will remain behind center for his final college campaign after showing marked improvement during the spring. Hendrickson is one of the top athletes on the team and his versatility provides several options for offensive coordinator Greg Breitbach to incorporate his skills into the offense. “Marcus is kind of the X-factor in the sense that we have to find a way to put him on the field somewhere,” Mussman added. “As athletic as he is, we need to find ways to do that.” Three true freshmen round out the stable of quarterbacks for the offense. The trio consists of Ryan Bartels, Jake Hanson and Joe Mollberg. The plan going into the season will be to redshirt all three of the youngsters.

RUNNING BACKS

One of the top ground games in the Great West Conference remains in tact for year one in the Big Sky. Junior Jake Miller took advantage of extended playing time to rush for 942 yards and 13 touchdowns last

season. He was the first player in GWC history to earn three straight Offensive Player of the Week accolades and went on to earn first team All-GWC honors.

TEAM INFORMATION :: 2012 OUTLOOK

Senior Ethan Magstadt is the only player on the roster with game experience at the fullback position. His primary role is as the lead blocker for the tailbacks, but Magstadt did catch the first four passes of his career in 2011 and had a solid spring as a pass receiver, too. The veteran will be pushed by redshirt freshman Zach Adler, who the coaches flirted with playing as a true freshman. Adler also has shown some nice pass-catching skills throughout the year he has been in the program and that should translate well when he sees the field in 2012. “I thought Ethan had a very nice spring for us,” Mussman said. “He will provide a lot of senior leadership not only for his position, but for the entire offense. “Between him and Adler, we have two good fullbacks to line up, but Adam Shaugabay is another guy that might get some reps there and add to our depth.” With only two veterans in front of him, true freshman Kevin Bayer could be one of the few newcomers to push for playing time in 2012.

RECEIVERS

There are a number of upperclassmen among the receivers Mussman and Breitbach will be counting on in 2012. The lone senior in the bunch is John Heimler, who boasts only one career catch, but it was a big one. His seven-yard, fourth-quarter reception at UC-Davis allowed UND to come away with a 14-7 road win last season. An injury cut short junior Greg Hardin’s 2011 campaign by three games, but he produced enough in the first eight games to earn AllGWC First Team honors. He led UND once again in receptions (43), receiving yards (549) and touchdowns (3). Hardin has 12 career touchdown receptions entering the campaign and he’ll be flanked by classmate R.J. McGill, who put together a strong finish to his sophomore season. McGill finished with a careerhigh 34 receptions for 433 yards and had a career-high eight catches for 89 yards in the finale versus South Dakota.

North Dakota

2012 north dakota FOOTBALL “Greg and R.J. are the top two guys we have at receiver,” Mussman said. “When Greg went down last year, our production slipped, but R.J. was the guy who kind of took over in leadership and did a nice job for us.“ Another veteran among the receiving corps is junior Blair Townsend. The tallest returning receiver on the squad, Townsend made the most of his first collegiate action after missing the 2010 season with an ankle injury. He caught 13 passes for 129 yards and is one of the top blocking receivers on the team. He hauled in two touchdown passes, including a crucial score in a 14-7 win over future BSC foe UC Davis on the road. Sophomore Tyrhe Ivery emerged as a viable target in Hardin’s absence, accounting for all 14 of his receptions in the final three games. He saved his best game for the finale, catching eight passes for 48 yards and his first two collegiate scores during the 38-37 thriller over the Coyotes.

for playing time at tight end.

Three true freshmen will also be in fall camp with the imminent departure of Nichols and Wisthoff following the season. That trio includes Luke Mathewson, Tucker Nordby and Tanner Vesladahl.

Offensive Line

Senior Ian McGurran might be the most unsung player, not only on the offensive line, but the entire team. McGurran will enter his final collegiate season having started all 33 games of his career at center. No one else on the UND roster can make such a claim. “There is no one on our team who has played more snaps than our captain Ian McGurran,” Mussman said. “He provides that consistency of having a guy in the huddle, who knows the offense and has been

“Blair and Tyhre are two guys that we think will contribute even more this year,” Mussman added. “They both kind of came on late last year, but showed signs of what they can do.” There is also a trio of redshirt freshmen who could work their way into the wide receiver rotation this fall. Jameer Jackson compliments Townsend as far as size goes as he checks in at 6-foot-3, 233 pounds. He might be the most powerful of the receiving bunch as well. Casey Young battled through a couple of injuries in the spring, but he should be ready to contribute by fall camp. And, Romon Bridges should also bring the element of speed to the corps. He provides a change of pace with his ability to make guys miss. “Jameer had an impressive spring for us and his classmates Casey Young and Romon Bridges are players that we need to have step up for us this year,” Mussman said. “We need those three young guys to produce and push our veterans.” Adding height to the wide receiver position was a point of emphasis for the 2012 recruiting class as Mussman brought in a trio of pass catchers that all stand 6-foot-3 or taller. But, like most first-year players in the program, Anthony Fletcher, Kenny Golladay and Zach Oliver are likely destined for a redshirt season.

Tight Ends

A pair of Seths sit atop the depth chart at tight end. Both Seth Wisthoff and Seth Nichols are also seniors, so plenty of experience will be brought to the table as well at the position. Wisthoff was a AllGWC second team performer, who earned the accolade mostly for his prowess as a top-notch blocker. He caught seven passes for 76 yards, but it was Nichols who led the unit with 13 catches in 2011. The biggest of those 13 catches for Nichols, who made the switch from quarterback to tight end during the spring of 2011, was a 25-yard touchdown reception in the 38-37 victory over South Dakota. “We have the battle between the two Seths at tight end,” Mussman said. “I think we have two decent ones as well. You have a kid with kind of a bigger body like Wisthoff, who we use a lot in the run game. Then, you have Nichols, who runs a little better and is probably more of your prototypical pass-catching tight end.” Adler could also see some reps at tight end in UND’s pro-style offense. Sophomore Taylor Grant will see his biggest impact on special teams as the snapper for both field goals and punts, but he could also push

Junior Greg Hardin has led UND in receiving in each of the last two seasons. For his career, Hardin has 12 touchdown receptions and needs only two more to crack into the career top 10 at the school.

through the battles. That is critical to us.”

over Sioux Falls.

Both starting guards will also be back in 2012 along with left tackle Darren Deneui. Left guard Joe Kleason is following in McGurran’s ironman footsteps, having started all 22 games in his career. The junior did miss spring camp, but is expected to be full strength entering the fall.

Classmate Devin Benjamin anchors the middle of the line at nose guard. Benjamin posted career highs with 23 tackles (18 solo) and 1.5 sacks in his first season as a full-time starter.

Right guard Emmett Lynch is also bouncing back from an injury, but this one happened duirng the regular season and cost him the final five games. Just how valuable was Lynch to the front line? Consider this, with him in the lineup, the ground game averaged 184.8 ypg, while without his services, the unit only churned out 103.6 ypg. “The big thing for us is to make sure we are healthy in the O-line world,” Mussman said. “The one positive to Lynch and Kleason being out of spring ball was we got to develop some depth and lean on some other guys.”

“With Ross, Jay and Devin, you have three guys who have played and started a lot of games for us,” Mussman said. “That provides a certain comfort level, but those guys are not going to play every snap, so we have to develop some depth along the defensive front and I think the guys behind those three did a nice job during the spring.” The backups for these three seniors all have game experience under their belts. Right end Spencer Cummings is the youngest of the bunch, but he showed flashes of a bright future last season. He finished with eight tackles and four of those were for a loss.

Deneui moved into the starting lineup as a sophomore getting the nod at left tackle in all 11 games. He’ll enter the fall holding down the same position. The only newcomer among the projected starting front line is right tackle Caleb Gillson. The senior did start the final five games of 2011 in place of Lynch at right guard, but with his return Gillson moved outside to the tackle spot. Mussman has several underclassmen waiting in the wings behind his starting five. Sophomore Shea Walker is listed as McGurran’s backup at center, but he can also play either of the guard spots. Sophomores Devin Barton (LT) and Darren Peterson (RT) enter fall camp as the respective reserve tackles. “Caleb will go into fall camp as the starter, but we have some guys that can push on the inside that might allow us to move some guys around,” Mussman said. “Shea Walker actually played guard for us all spring and I thought he did a great job. He is a kid that I think will get into the mix.” Redshirt freshman Sean Meehan is Kleason’s back up at right guard, while junior Jake Hoerchner is the only upperclassmen on the second line at left guard. A host of redshirt freshmen make up the third line entering fall camp, along with true freshmen Joel Isenberger (LG) and Conrad Schwarzkopf. The quartet of redshirts looking to push their upperclassmen teammates are Brandon Anderson (RG), Jace Hellman (C), Luke Hoplin (LT) and Ross Windfeldt (RT). “We have some young guys that are going to push our veterans,” Mussman added. “I thought Brandon Anderson was also a guy who really improved as spring ball moved along. He’ll allow us to move some guys around if he continues to develop. “I feel good about the veterans we have on the O-line and the future looks bright too. “

DEFENSIVE LINE

Defensive coordinator Mike Mannausau has the luxury of having a trio of senior starters back along his defensive front. The right end spot will be occupied by preseason All-American Ross Brenneman, who needs 9.5 sacks to break Wes Atkinson’s (1996-99) career record of 23.5. He posted a career-high 8.5 sacks in 2011 en route to earning All-GWC Second Team honors. The other end spot is held down by Jay Nelson, who started only six games a year ago, but led the team with 10.5 tackles for a loss and six quarterback hurries. Nelson also had four sacks and a huge safety, which proved to be the difference in a 15-13 victory 44

TEAM INFORMATION :: 2012 OUTLOOK

Senior Jay Nelson is part of a senior trio that will start along the defensive front once again in 2012. Nelson started the last six games of 2011 with fellow defense end Ross Brenneman and nose guard Devin Benjamin. Nelson ended up leading the team in tackles for a loss with 10.5.

North Dakota

2012 north dakota FOOTBALL Junior Seth Stanchik tried to play through the lingering effects from a 2010 injury that should finally be fully healed entering the fall. He showed signs of being the player he was prior to the injury this spring, which should bode well for depth along the defensive front.

table is redshirt freshman Will Ratelle. “Will was the Scout Team Player of the Year and that was much deserved. He has a chance to be special, but not only at linebacker, but he is the type of player who will make his mark early on special teams.”

Sophomore Ben Henson played in all 11 games as a redshirt freshman, spelling Benjamin at the nose guard position. He will be joined by JUCO transfer E.J. Welch in pushing for playing time this fall.

At the outside linebacker spots, Mussman once again has several players that have seen plenty of game experience for the Green and White.

Welch was on campus for spring drills to get a jump start on the 2012 campaign. He was a JUCO All-American at Wasabi Range as a sophomore in 2011.

Junior Damon Andrews will be back for his second season as a starter on the strong side. Andrews will be backed up by sophomore Myles Jablonsky. The duo combined for 40 tackles, six tackles for a loss and three sacks in 2011.

“I thought Seth had a really good spring camp,” Mussman said. “I think he is now really starting to look like he is back to 100 percent. Ben played a lot for us last year as a redshirt freshman.

“Damon has already played a lot of football for us and I thought Myles had a great fall for us a redshirt freshman,” Mussman said. “I’m really looking for Myles to keep his production up and continue to improve.”

“Spencer is another young player who needs to step up for us this year and we added E.J. Welch, a JUCO player that did a nice job this spring at both the nose guard and end positions. We have six or seven guys that we are confident in and that will help us keep those first three healthy throughout the year.”

On the weak side, juniors Dominique Bennett and Cordero Finley will continue to battle it out for the starting spot. “It’s kind of a backand-forth with those two guys,” Mussman said. “We just need more consistency out of them, but they both have the ability to be big-time contributors for us. “We have a number of linebackers with experience and that have played in some key spots, but we just need to stay healthy.”

UND signed one defensive lineman in the class of 2012. He is Mike Edwards out of Sun Prairie, Wis.

LINEBACKERS

Junior Garrison Goodman may be the most watched man on the UND defense because of the shoes he will have to fill. Even though this will be his first fall as a starter, he has played in all 22 games the past two seasons as Dan Hendrickson’s backup.

The Green and White did sign a quintet of true freshmen linebackers that will help add some bodies to the unit in fall camp. Those five players are J.D. Allen, Brian Labat, Taj Rich, Jared Tuilagi and Jake Watson.

Hendrickson was the team’s top tackler the past two seasons and an all-conference performer as well, but Mussman is confident in the player that will be replacing him. “I think Garrison is ready to take on that role,” Mussman said. “This is the year, his junior season, where you usually see that jump. They are more comfortable with the defense, they know how to train and they know what the grind of the season is about and I am confident Garrison can step up and fill that role.” Senior Mitch Goertz will also have to be replaced on the inside after putting together his best season in a UND uniform. That responsibility will fall on the broad shoulders of sophomore Ben Peters or junior Brian Otto. “Ben and Brian are both exciting young players who have been waiting in the wings, kind of like Garrison,” Mussman said. “We also added a junior college transfer in Derrick Goard that I thought had a nice spring for us. All three are hard hitters and really like to mix it up in there.” Another player that Mussman is excited to see what he’ll bring to the

Junior Cordero Finley and former linebacker Dan Hendrickson team up to stop a South Dakota running back in the regular season finale last season. The UND defense was tops in the Great West Conference allowing 20.4 ppg and 326.7 yards of total offense in 2011. Those totals would have ranked second and first, respectively, in the Big Sky.

CORNERBACKS

Sophomore Daryl Brown returns after earning a spot on the College Sports Journal All-FCS Freshman Team. He started all 11 games and shared the team lead with two interceptions. “Daryl was only a freshman last season, but he started all 11 games and really played well. He is a guy you can throw out there and know you will get 100 percent effort from all the time. He is the most consistent guy we have at the cornerback spot.” A pair of juniors will man the other cornerback position for the UND defense. Either Chavon Mackey, who had 23 tackles and four pass breakups in nine games, or Chris Hall, who had 14 tackles and two pass breakups, will slide into the starting role to replace Kenny Watkins. “Chavon Mackey and Chris Hall are both back and have played a lot of snaps,” Mussman said. “They are upperclassmen now and we’ll continue to juggle them in and out. For those two, it will usually come down to who has the hot hand and is playing well.” Backing up Brown will likely be a pair of redshirt freshmen. “We really like a couple of the young guys that redshirted last season,” Mussman said. “Both Dwayne Brown or Rumeal Harris could have an impact for us. “They give us some depth where we will be able to rotate guys in and out a little more than we have in the past. We’re not real tall at the position, but we feel like we have guys that will go out and compete and that is important.” True freshman Dan Konowalski and Devin Coyle will also be in fall camp after signing with UND in the spring.

SAFETIES

It is never easy to replace a senior starter at any position, but UND will have the daunting task of finding two new starting safeties for the defensive backfield. Last year’s backups, Erik Mersereau and Baylee Carr, will enter the fall on the top of the depth chart. Both players saw action in all 11 games last season, so they were able to gain some valuable experience. Mersereau has been a contributor back there all three of his seasons and even ranked seventh on the team with 29 tackles last season despite not starting a game. “We are confident in Erik and Baylee, but we need to address the depth issue at the safety spot. That was a major concern for us going into 2012,” Mussman said. “Fortunately, we were able to bring in two junior college players in Clordion Kennedy and Will Lewis.” Kennedy was Contra Costa College’s top tackler last season with 55 stops en route to earning first team All-Bay Valley Conference honors. Lewis had five interceptions and also led his Los Medanos College team in tackles with 72. He was named first team All-Golden Gate Conference following his sophomore season. Defensively, 2012 signee Ryan Cain has the best chance to push for early playing time with the lack of depth at the safety position. The Iowa native will get a strong look early in fall camp.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Every coach in the country would like to have veteran kickers on his roster and Mussman is fortunate enough to have that luxury. Junior Zeb Miller emerged last season as one of the top placekickers in the FCS en route to earning second team All-GWC honors, while senior Brett Cameron is back for his third season as the team’s starting punter. 46

TEAM INFORMATION :: 2012 OUTLOOK

“I think Zeb is ready to take that next step,” Mussman said. “I know the kid at Portland State was preseason All-American, but I think Zeb can be at that caliber one day too and I think this will be a big year for him to step into that role. I feel like he is confident on the field now. I feel like he knows he is going to make every kick. That is huge.” Miller was twice the GWC Special Teams Player of the Week in 2011. One of those honors came after kicking a career long 54-yard field goal with under two minutes to play to knock off Big Sky foe Northern Colorado 27-25 in Greeley. He finished the season making 15-of-19 field goals and also added 12 touchbacks on kickoffs. Cameron was named to the CFPA preseason watch list for punters for the second straight season. His career average of 40.1 yards per punt is fourth on UND’s all-time charts. Cameron added a career-high of eight 50-plus yard punts in 2011 and has landed 47 of his career punts inside the 20-yard line. “Brett is one of the hardest working guys on the team,” Mussman said. “He has done it on the big stage and we’re excited to have the two quality specialists that we have.”

RETURN GAME

There will be some familiar faces on UND’s kick return squad this season, but the most familiar one of all - Dominique Hawkins - has graduated. Hawkins left a four-year legacy as one of the top returners in program history and was a steadying force in the return game. His departure opens the door for the likes of Jer Garman, R.J. McGill and Rumeal Harris to help fill his void. McGill is no stranger to the position, having returned kicks in his first two seasons, but his role will likely increase even more. He averaged 23.0 yards on 14 attempts in 2011. Garman had only four kick returns (20.2 ypr) and two punt returns as a true freshman, but, like McGill, his opportunities will be more prevalent in year one of the Big Sky. Harris got some looks as a return in spring drills after redshirt last season and will get more opportunities in the fall to show what he can do. “This role is one of those that will kind of develop as fall camp moves along,” Mussman said. “I prefer not to have a guy who is going to be playing 60-70 snaps on offense or defense back there, but we will put our best guys back there to put us in position to win.” Senior Erik Mersereau had an outstanding junior season returning punts for UND. He ranked among the nation’s best with an 18.2 average per return and took one back 79 yards for a touchdown at Idaho. He did not qualify for the NCAA rankings because he did not have enough chances. Garman also returned two punts last season (13.0 ypr).

The Big Sky Conference was established in 1963 by six charter members – Idaho, Idaho State, Gonzaga, Montana, Montana State and Weber State. Those six schools formed the foundation of the Big Sky before the league expanded in 1970 by adding Boise State and Northern Arizona. Gonzaga left the Sky in 1979 and was replaced by Nevada, which gave the league eight members. The conference grew to nine schools in 1987 with the addition of Eastern Washington. The 1990s saw change in the makeup of the league, beginning in 1992 when Nevada departed and put the Big Sky back at eight teams. In 1996 Boise State and Idaho left and at the same time the conference added Portland State, Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge. The Big Sky maintained nine teams for five years before Cal State Northridge departed in the spring of 2001. The Big Sky now includes nine states spanning from the Pacific Ocean to the Red River Valley of North Dakota. The league is represented along the entire west coast with institutions in Washington, Oregon and California. League schools also range up and down the Rocky Mountains with institutions in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Colorado. On Feb 25, 1963, the name Big Sky was adopted by the six presidents of the charter members as the name of the new conference. The name Big Sky originated in a novel written by the late A.B. (Bud) Guthrie of Great Falls, Mont., in 1947 entitled “The Big Sky.” Jack Hollowell, a former Montana advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme for the Treasure State. While on a track and field trip from Pocatello, Idaho, to Missoula, Mont., legendary Dubby Holt of Idaho State saw a 80

2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL There will be a lot of unknowns for the North Dakota football team as it enters a new league in 2012, but one thing is for certain — the Green and White will embark on year one in the Big Sky Conference with plenty of momentum.

That boost comes compliments of a four-game winning streak to close out a memorable 2011 season that saw UND earn a share of the Great West Conference title, finish with an 8-3 overall record and finish nationally ranked in an FCS poll (No. 23 Sports Network/Fathead.com) for the first time in program history. Head coach Chris Mussman enjoyed his best season in year number four of his tenure of holding the top position in the program. The 8-3 mark was a five-game turnaround from the 2010 season, equaling the third best reversal in program history. The five-game turnaround also pushed Mussman’s career mark to 23-20 and he was named the Great West Conference Coach of the Year by both his peers and the media for those efforts. He was also a finalist for the Eddie Robinson FCS Coach of the Year Award and Liberty Mutual FCS Coach of the Year Award. As for the play on the field, the North Dakota defense was led once again by senior Dan Hendrickson, who helped the unit

pace the GWC in a number of categories, including total defense, scoring defense and rushing defense. Hendrickson’s 60 solo stops were the second most in a single season at UND as he finished up his career ranked among the top tacklers in program history. Junior defensive ends Ross Brenneman and Jay Nelson combined for 20.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks. Brenneman led the team with 8.5 sacks and is inching towards UND’s career mark in that category with one season to play. Nelson emerged as a force after taking over a starting spot from Broc Bellmore, who was lost for the season in the upset win over Southern Utah. Nelson led the team with 10.5 tackles for loss and three forced fumbles. His safety in the fourth quarter against Sioux Falls also proved to be the difference in a 15-13 victory for UND. Hendrickson and company opened the season in fine fashion, pitching a 16-0 shutout of a Drake team that would go on to finish the season 9-2 and average 28.7 ppg in its next 10 games. Junior running back Mitch Sutton had his best performance of what would turn out to be an injury-plagued season against the Bulldogs. He rushed for 105 yards, while running back mate Jake Miller scored the first of his 13 rushing touchdowns on the season in the victory as well.

2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL Miller would go on to earn All-Great West Conference First Team honors and become the first player in league history to earn three consecutive Offensive Player of the Week honors. Miller ended up leading the team with 942 rushing yards, which included a stretch of four straight, 100-yard rushing games that started with a 145-yard effort at Fresno State. UND had the FBS Bulldogs on the ropes in Fresno before the home team’s defense came up with a big stop late in the fourth quarter to secure a 27-22 victory. Miller rushed for three touchdowns in the game, including a 70-yard score that helped give the visitors a 22-20 edge going into the final stanza. The Green and White opened the month of October accomplishing a program first as they went to Southern Utah and picked up a 26-20 victory over the nationally-ranked Thunderbirds. It was the first road victory over a ranked opponent at the Division I level for Mussman and company. Miller continued his torrid pace in the victory, rushing for 161 yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 32 carries. After a 42-9 blowout win over Montana Western, Cal Poly would spoil both a three-game winning streak and the 2011 Homecoming for UND by holding off the home team to post a 23-19 victory.

years ago when they upset UND at the Alerus Center, but the visitors from South Dakota were not going to leave this time with the same feeling. UND blocked three total kicks and Miller once again drilled a game-winning field goal, this time as time expired to guarantee a winning season for the Green and White. The three blocked kicks brought UND’s total on the season to nine and they would get one more big block in the finale vs. South Dakota. But, before they could set up a pseudo GWC title clash with the Coyotes, UND had to find a way to win its third straight road game at UC Davis. Goska managed to do just that, finding the most unlikely of targets for what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown pass. Junior Jon Heimler had never caught a pass in his career, but his nine-yard touchdown reception put the visitors ahead 14-7 with just under 10 minutes to play versus the Aggies. The UND defense would come up with a big stop, thwarting a potential

Senior quarterback Brent Goska relieved starter Joey Bradley in the second half of the contest and nearly led the team back from what was a 23-6 deficit midway through the third quarter. Goska’s strong play sparked a memorable close to his final collegiate season for himself and 13 of his classmates. Goska guided UND to four straight victories by a combined total of 12 points. The magic began in Northern Colorado where UND fended off both snow and a pesky Bears’ team that was still in search of its first win of the season. After having a field goal blocked and missing another in the fourth quarter, sophomore Zeb Miller drilled a 54-yarder with just under two minutes to play to secure win No. 5 on the season for UND. Miller picked up his second consecutive GWC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts. In its next outing, UND once again had to rely on its special teams to sneak away with that aforementioend 15-13 victory over Sioux Falls. The Cougars proved their worth two

Senior quarterback Brent Goska and junior captain Ian McGurran helped lead UND on an improbable comeback to clinch a share of the GWC title with a 38-37 victory over South Dakota.

North Dakota

2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL game-tying touchdown drive late in the contest to set up an exciting finale at the Alerus Center.

Both UND and South Dakota entered the contest with identical 2-1 records in GWC play and the winner would earn a share of the conference title with Cal Poly, who had already wrapped up its league slate with a 3-1 record.

It was the 25th overall conference title for a program that will be one of four teams in the Big Sky in 2012 to have earned a share of a conference title in 2011 (Cal Poly; Great West, Montana; Big Sky and Montana State; Big Sky).

The UND players and coaches ran through the entire gamut of emotions in the final 60 minutes of the 2011 season. The home team jumped out to a 17-7 lead after Goska connected with redshirt freshman Tyrhe Ivery for his first collegiate touchdown. That exhiliaration would be short-lived, however, as the visitors would score touchdowns on their next four possessions before the half to build a 34-17 lead at the break. An unassuming blocked extra point by Justin Belotti after the second of those touchdowns would prove to loom large later in the contest. The Coyotes’ Kevin Robb put the only points of the third quarter on the board with a 44-yard field goal, giving his squad a 37-17 lead going into the fourth quarter. Goska and his never-say-die teammates gave the fans who stuck around for the fourth quarter plenty to cheer for. A 25-yard scoring strike to tight end Seth Nichols pulled the home team within 13 points at 37-24. The Coyotes would churn up nearly four minutes of the clock on their next possession, but the UND defense forced the visitors to punt. Goska and Ivery teamed up for the second time in the game, capping a quick-strike, 9-play, 75-yard drive in just two minutes to make it a 37-31 contest. Redshirt freshman Baylee Carr made his biggest contribution of the season on the ensuing kickoff, forcing a fumble that Johnnie Daniels would pounce on, setting up UND at the USD 19-yard line. Senior Chris Anderson then cemented his legacy in UND football history with a tip-toe catch in the back of the endzone on a third-down play from the 15. Anderson’s acrobatic catch sent the Alerus Center crowd and UND sideline into a frenzy. Miller boomed through the extra point and all of a sudden in a matter of six minutes, UND went from 20 points behind to one point ahead. The Coyotes still had plenty of time to try and get into field goal territory, but the UND defense did its job by holding USD to a quick three-and-out. The visitors opted to punt with just over two minutes to play, but Sutton rushed for 11 yards on the first Redshirt freshman Daryl Brown emerged as one of the team’s top two carries of the drive to all but end the contest and give UND a defenders in 2011, registering two interceptions and earning a spot on the College Sports Journal All-Freshman Team. share of its first conference title at the Division I level.

MOSCOW, Idaho – For the first time in program history, UND held a lead on a FBS opponent at halftime, but Idaho quarterback Brian Reader made sure the Fighting Sioux lead would not last through the fourth quarter as the Vandals rallied for a 44-14 victory. The senior signal caller overcame a shaky start to lead the Vandals (1-1) to 34 unanswered points in the come-frombehind win on Saturday at the Kibbie Dome. Reader threw three of his four touchdown passes after the break to propel the home team to its first win of the season. The Fighting Sioux (1-1) scored touchdowns on a pair of explosive plays in the first half as safety Erik Mersereau (Port Washington, Wis.) took a punt back 79 yards and wideout Greg Hardin (Bellevue, Neb.) hauled in a 54-yard pass from Joey Bradley (Issaquah, Wash.). Those two scores staked the Fighting Sioux to an eventual 14-10 lead at halftime. “We made a big play offensively and one on special teams in the first half and in the second half, we didn’t make any plays,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “We gave up big plays on defense and could not generate anything offensively after halftime.”

FRESNO, Calif. -- Fresno State overcame a fourth-quarter deficit and a career rushing performance by North Dakota sophomore Jake Miller to edge the Fighting Sioux 27-22 on Saturday at Bulldog Stadium. Robbie Rouse’s 1-yard touchdown run with 9:14 left in the fourth quarter held up as the winning score, dashing UND’s hopes of earning the program’s first win over a Football Bowl Subdivision team. “Our guys continued to battle throughout. There is no such thing as a moral victory,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “We lost the game, but I’m proud of their effort and proud of what they did for this program today and hopefully we can build on that.” Miller’s third of three rushing scores, a 1-yard plunge with nine seconds left in third quarter, gave UND (1-2) a 22-21 lead over a Fresno State program that had defeated its previous eight Football Championship Subdivision opponents by an average of 28 points. Miller, a Bismarck, N.D., native, finished with a career-high 145 yards on 21 carries, adding touchdowns on runs of 70 yards (first quarter) and five yards (third quarter). He keyed a UND ground attack that racked up 216 rushing yards and allowed the Sioux to claim a 32:22-27:38 edge in time of possession. Junior running back Mitch Sutton managed to gain 70 yards on just eight carries before leaving the game due to injury. UND’s offense gained 323 total yards, compared to 319 by the Bulldogs. Sophomore kicker Zeb Miller accounted for UND’s other points with a career-best 49-yard field goal with 46 seconds left in the first quarter.

Carr made his mark in the first quarter and his two, long scoring tosses to Jalen Saunders in the opening 15 minutes proved to be just enough for the Bulldogs to pick up their first win of the season. The first connection went for 86 yards and came on the first offensive play of the game on the new artificial turf at Bulldog Stadium. The duo would account for the second touchdown from 54 yards out as the Bulldogs jumped out to a 14-0 lead midway through the stanza. “There were some things in there that needed to happen for us to win that game and the special teams play on the one punt return and the two big ones over the top really hurt.” Fortunately, Miller did not take long to answer that second score, taking the first play of the ensuing possession a career long 70 yards to put UND on the scoreboard.

Miller found the red-and-white checkered endzone for the second time on the next play.

He converted a trio of third downs on the go-ahead touchdown drive. Sophomore R.J. McGill led the Sioux with five catches for 31 yards.

Black Hills State. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 53 48th annual potato bowl GRAND FORKS, N.D. – A 23-point first quarter outburst would be all North Dakota needed to peel off its ninth straight victory in the 46th annual Potato Bowl USA Saturday against Black Hills State. The Fighting Sioux would go on to post a 53-19 triumph over the visiting Yellow Jackets as they racked up 337 rushing yards and six ground scores in front of 8,545 fans at the Alerus Center. UND senior linebacker Johnnie Daniels, Jr. (Miami, Fla.) provided the first points of the night thanks to a 28-yard fumble return on the opening play from scrimmage. It was the first fumble return for a touchdown by the Sioux since 2007 and first defensive score for UND this season. The next six touchdowns by UND all came on the ground as sophomore Jake Miller (Bismarck, N.D.) established a new career high for the second straight game with 181 rushing yards. The Sioux ran the ball 53 times in the victory opposed to just 15 pass attempts as the ground game was efficient from the start. “As a coach you want to be perfect and at times we were sloppy, but anytime you put up 53 points on the scoreboard, that is not easy to do. Especially running the amount of times we did,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “I think we just have the confidence right now in our ability to run the football and that is huge.” True freshman Jer Garman (Marion, Iowa) rushed 16 times for 93 yards and had the first two rushing touchdowns of his UND career. Redshirt freshman running back Adam Shaugabay (Warroad, Minn.) and senior quarterback Brent Goska (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) provided the final rushing scores late in the contest. Shaugabay’s touchdown run was also the first of his career. Miller’s two touchdowns give him five over the last two games as he scored on runs of 19 and five yards. His five-yard touchdown run in the second quarter put UND ahead 30-0 with 1:31 left on the clock. The Sioux defense appeared poised to go into the locker room without allowing any points as they forced their fifth threeand-out of the opening half, but the Yellow Jackets pounced on a loose ball after the punt was misplayed by junior Erik Mersereau (Port Washington, Wis.). BHSU quickly took advantage of the second Sioux turnover of the half, posting its first tally three plays later as quarterback Ward Anderson connected with Ryan Fagerstrom on a 26yard scoring play with just over a half-minute to play in the half. Junior nose guard Devin Benjamin (Minneapolis, Minn.) negated the first scoring opportunity for the visitors when he batted away a 29-yard attempt by Devin Rounds earlier in the second quarter. The block was Benjamin’s second of the season. Garman and Shaugabay each scored in the third quarter to increase the home team’s advantage to 44-7. Garman scored his second touchdown of the game from three yards out, while Shaugabay got in from 19 yards out on just his second career carry. The Yellow Jackets managed to score a pair of touchdowns late in the fourth quarter, but the game was well out of reach at that point. Anderson scored on a run from one-yard out, but the point-after-attempt was blocked by Cordero Finley (Kenosha, Wis.), who scooped up the loose ball, returning it for a two-point conversion for the Sioux. Those two points made it a 46-13 contest before Goska put the Sioux up by 40 with his first touchdown rush of the season.

North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 Southern Utah. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20

CEDAR CITY, Utah – The Fighting Sioux football program had been waiting and waiting for a victory like the one the team left Eccles Stadium with on Saturday. The game, which felt much more like a raging roller coaster at times, was not over until redshirt freshman Daryl Brown (Plymouth, Minn.) came down with an interception in the end zone with 11 seconds left on the clock. And, the elation felt afterwards was worth the wait. Brown’s game-saving pick secured the biggest win for No. 24 UND at the Football Championship Subdivision level, sending the Fighting Sioux (3-2, 1-0 GWC) to a 26-20 victory over No. 19/17 Southern Utah (3-2, 0-1 GWC) and an early lead in the GWC standings. “Our guys just played their hearts out,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “We had some adversity – the fumble there (at the end) and things were not looking good, but I tell you what, I’m so proud of this group and our coaching staff. “I told them all week it was our time. It was our time to get one of these games. It was our time to take care of these (types of) games and we just showed that here against a darn good football team.” The Sioux held on for the six-point victory over the defending GWC champions thanks to a stout run game and a defense that would not surrender even when its backs were up against the wall with one of the best quarterbacks in the FCS barreling his squad down the field for a potential game-winning touchdown drive in the closing minute. Brown and the Sioux defense came up with yet another big play in a contest that featured several by the unit. His second interception of the season clinched the victory and sent the Sioux sideline and the more than 200 UND faithful who made the trip to the Beehive State into a frenzy. Hendrickson led all players with a career high 13 tackles and he helped the UND defense prevent a pair of huge fourth-down conversion attempts by the Southern Utah offense. Classmate Justin Belotti (Kenosha, Wis.) added a career high eight stops and the Sioux also sacked SUU quarterback Brad Sorensen three times in the second half to help stave off the home-team rally. The Sioux jumped out to a 16-0 lead and, offensively, rode the legs of sophomore running back Jake Miller (Bismarck, N.D.) for the third consecutive game. He churned out 161 yards and two touchdowns, including one in the fourth quarter that provided the final margin of victory. Miller toted the rock 32 times, including 14 efforts for 63 yards in the final quarter. A wild first half saw the Fighting Sioux take a 16-6 advantage into the locker room. The visitors took advantage of a pair of bad snaps by the SUU special teams and turned those miscues into nine points, while senior Dominique Hawkins (Plymouth, Minn.) came up with one of those big fourth-down stops as he stuffed a SUU run with under a minute to play in the half on a fourth-and-1 from the 12-yard line.

The T-Birds would not go away without a fight thanks to the only turnover of the day by the Sioux offense. Miller scampered towards the sidelines during what had a chance to be a potential gameending, clock-grinding drive, but as he went to dive in order to stay in bounds, the ball was somehow jarred loose, creating the turnover for SUU.

Sorensen and the high-powered aerial attack came out firing in the third quarter as they cut the deficit to just 16-13 with a 10yard scoring pass to Daryl Brown midway through the stanza. After the teams traded non-scoring drives, the Sioux took advantage of another poor play by Tate, whose 13-yard punt gave UND prime field position on the SUU 20-yard line.

It was Cal Poly’s third interception of the contest on UND’s final drive that secured the Great West Conference win for the Mustangs (4-3, 2-0 GWC), who defeated the Sioux (4-3, 1-1 GWC) in a close contest for the second straight season. Junior linebacker Kennith Jackson came up with his first pick of the season in the final minute on a fourth-and-10 pass from senior Brent Goska (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.). Jackson’s pick squashed a frantic comeback attempt by the Sioux, who scored 13 unanswered points late in the contest to pull within four points. Goska engineered the second-half rally in a reserve role as he thrived in his most extensive action of his season. He completed 13-for-24 passes for 206 yards and a touchdown in the contest that ended UND’s three-game winning streak. Goska brought the crowd to its feet on the potential game-winning touchdown drive with a 41-yard pass play to sophomore Greg Hardin (Bellevue, Neb.), but the drive stalled with three straight incompletions before Jackson’s game-saving pick. Hardin finished with a career-high nine catches for 108 yards and went over the 1,000-yard receiving mark for his career in the game.

On Cal Poly’s next possession, the UND defense provided a stand of its own, giving the ball back to the offense on Cal Poly’s 49-yard line after stuffing a fourth-and-1 play. However, the offense could only muster three points again after moving it 18 yards to the Mustangs’ 31-yard line.

Cal Poly fullback Jake Romanelli fumbled on the Mustangs’ first play from scrimmage as Devin Benjamin (Minneapolis, Minn.) was there to collect the loose ball. UND managed to move the ball down inside the one-yard line following a 26-yard completion from starting signal caller Joey Bradley (Issaquah, Wash.) to R.J.

Unfortunately, the field goal left just over a minute and half for Lobato and Walker to try another miraculous comeback. But this time, the Sioux defense held the Bears as senior Jay Nelson (Wheaton, Minn.) batted down a fourth-down attempt, sealing the first back-to-back road wins for the Sioux since the 2007 season. Nelson and company forced four turnovers in the game and sacked Lobato five times despite giving up a season high in passing yardage.

Sioux Falls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13 North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Sophomore Zeb Miller (Ankeny, Iowa) drilled a 29-yard field goal as time expired to lift No. 25 North Dakota past Sioux Falls 15-13 on Saturday at the Alerus Center. And, the ball Miller used for the game-winner is not done flying yet, as it was signed by the Fighting Sioux football team after its dramatic two-point victory and sent to southern California to be presented to the Murphy Family in honor of former UND quarterback and coach Gene Murphy (1939-2011), who passed away last weekend. “We are sending the ball to the Murphy family,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “It’s going from one Sioux to another and that is special to think about. I’m glad we found a way to win this game.” Miller’s 14th field goal of the season gave UND its first lead of the contest and was set up when a safety by defensive end Jay Nelson (Wheaton, Minn.) with just under six minutes on the clock trimmed UND’s deficit to a single point. Junior Brett Cameron (Winnipeg, Manitoba) had pinned the Cougars deep at their own one-yard line after a 43-yard punt and Nelson gave UND those much-needed two points on USF’s second down of the series. He tripped up USF tailback Jordan Taylor in the end zone for UND’s third safety of the season. After the free kick, the UND offense churned off the remaining time with a methodical 14-play drive that featured 11 runs and a pivotal 3rd-and-24 conversion on a 26-yard pass play from senior Brent Goska (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) to Tyhre Ivery (Garland, Texas). The redshirt freshman caught the first three passes of his career for 44 yards in the contest. Junior Mitch Sutton (Plover, Wis.) did not carry the ball until the fourth quarter, but the Sioux running back rushed 11 times for 41 yards in the final stanza, including 25 on the game-winning field goal drive. Sutton’s efforts helped secure a winning season for UND (6-3), who evened its all-time record with Sioux Falls (5-4) at a win a piece. “That is two weeks in a row where, maybe, it was not real pretty, but we are winning ball games,” Mussman added. “Last year, we were 3-8 and this year we are 6-3. I know which side of the field I’d rather be on.” The Sioux trailed 13-7 at the half thanks to a pair of touchdown passes by USF quarterback Taylor Perkins. The deficit could have been much greater if not for a trio of first-half blocked kicks by the UND special teams. Redshirt freshman Shea Walker (St. Paul, Minn.) batted down Braden Wieking’s first attempt from 45 yards out, then sophomore Cordero Finley (Kenosha, Wis.) deflected his second attempt from 37 yards out. Finley’s deflection came after USF blocked a Brett Cameron punt to set them up in prime field position at the UND 20-yard line. The Sioux defense only yielded three yards on a three-andout, setting up Finley’s third block of the season.

DAVIS, Calif. – A dominating defensive effort and a timely big play by a seldom-used wide receiver propelled No. 22 North Dakota past UC Davis 14-7 in a Great West Conference tilt at Aggie Stadium on Saturday. Junior Jon Heimler (Colfax, Wis.) was in for only play and he made it count, hauling in a nineyard pass for the game-winning score midway through the fourth quarter. Heimler’s first career catch was set up by one of three turnovers forced by a Sioux defense that yielded only 228 yards in the contest. The unit sacked UC Davis quarterback Randy Wright three times, caused four fumbles and Mitch Kudrna (Dickinson, N.D.) corralled his second interception of the season. “Our kids believe they are going to win and that is half the battle,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “We didn’t let those momentum shifts get us too much. And, how about Jon Heimler - at a critical time, he goes in and makes a play. That is what you need - guys to make plays at the right time.” The victory for UND (7-3, 2-1 GWC) sets up a showdown with rival South Dakota next Saturday at the Alerus Center with a share of the Great West Conference title on the line. Both teams have two wins in league and the winner will share the league crown with Cal Poly. Goska finished 16-for-30 for 140 yards and two touchdowns. His first scoring strike came on the opening possession when he marched the team down the field on an eight-play, 72-yard drive that was capped by a 12-yard reception by Blair Townsend (Coon Rapids, Minn.). The UND offense would struggle after that in a game that featured 17 punts between the two squads. The Sioux managed just 232 yards of total offense and were held to 92 rushing yards. “Our defense played lights out,” Goska said. “They always find a way to keep us in the game and they were awesome today.” The Aggies’ offense was equally ineffective, scoring their lone touchdown after being set up at the UND 28-yard line following a muffed punt. The 18-yard touchdown run by Marquis Nicolis would make it a 7-7 contest at halftime. Wright went 15-for-30 through the air for 151 yards, but left the game with an injury on what was turning into a potential game-tying touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. He was hit after a first-down completion moved the ball into UND territory at the 40-yard line. Reserve Austin Heyworth came in for Wright, but threw four straight incompletions to turn the ball over on downs and securing the second threegame winning streak of the season for the Sioux.

Goska passed for a season-high 229 yards and found eight different receivers in the contest. Sutton was the leading rusher for the Sioux, who saw three players get double-digit carries. Goska added 29 yards on the ground as the Sioux offense outgained the visitors 338-247.

A 62-yard punt return by USF’s Mike Hicks following UND’s initial possession set up the first score of the game. On the Cougars’ first play of that drive, Perkins found Carrington Hanna on a 20-yard scoring strike to put the visitors in front 7-0. Braden Wieking would add the extra point, but it would be the only kick the junior would get past the Sioux special teamers. Goska and the Sioux offense responded with a seven-play, 75yard drive that was capped by a 45-yard touchdown pass from Goska to sophomore Greg Hardin (Bellevue, Neb.). The duo also connected for 22 yards on the previous play to convert a 3rd-and-16. The Cougars would move ahead late in the half on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Perkins to Jeremiah Oates. USD would get just six points as junior Devin Benjamin (Minneapolis, Minn.) blocked his third kick of the season on the extra point.

Saturday, November 19, 2011 Alerus Center | Grand Forks, N.D.

South Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37 North Dakota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 GRAND FORKS, N.D. - Senior quarterback Brent Goska (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) threw a trio of fourth-quarter touchdowns in his final collegiate game to rally No. 22 North Dakota past No. 24 South Dakota 38-37 and secure a share of the Great West Conference regular season title Saturday at the Alerus Center. Goska also got some help throughout from his senior classmates, who were lauded before kickoff in a pre-game ceremony. That group of 14 capped their Fighting Sioux careers with a four-game winning streak and an 8-3 record, reversing their fortunes from the 2010 campaign (3-8). Trailing 37-17 entering the final stanza, Goska went 15-for20 for 145 yards in those closing 15 minutes to bring UND its first Division I conference title since transitioning to the Football Championship Subdivision in 2008. His final scoring toss came from 15 yards out as classmate Chris Anderson (Duluth, Minn.) stretched out far enough in the back of the end zone to get one foot down for the game-winning touchdown with just over four minutes to play. Anderson finished with two catches for 19 yards, while redshirt freshman Tyhre Ivery (Garland, Texas) had a career-high eight catches for 48 yards and his first two career touchdowns. Sophomore R.J. McGill (Phoenix, Ariz.) also had a big game, catching a career-high seven passes for 89 yards. Goska finished 24-for-36 for 216 yards and four touchdowns. The Fighting Sioux have now won 12 straight over the Coyotes (6-5, 2-2 GWC) in Grand Forks and 14 out of the last 16 overall as the teams played for the final time as conference rivals. “Our guys continue to find ways to win and never quit believing,” UND head coach Chris Mussman said. “What a way for us to send our 14 seniors out. That was incredible.” In a game of furious scoring runs by both teams, the Sioux looked to be buried after South Dakota quarterback Dante Warren led his team to four second-quarter scores and a 3417 lead at halftime. But, as has been the case during UND’s season-closing winning streak, the home team once again used a little fourth-quarter magic to finish the campaign with a dramatic triumph. Warren did fumble twice in the early going, which allowed UND to build a 17-7 advantage, but the fleet-footed quarterback ran for two scores and passed for two others in a 27-point second quarter for USD. The only missing point from their four-touchdown onslaught proved pivotal as after the Coyotes’ third touchdown, senior Justin Belotti (Kenosha, Wis.) batted down the point-after attempt, which was the 10th block of the season for the UND special teams.

On the Coyotes’ next series, Warren was stripped by senior Dan Hendrickson (Minot, N.D.) and classmate Kenny Watkins (Plano, Texas) was there to pick up the loose ball and take it in from 22 yards out for UND’s first lead of the game. Hendrickson finished with a career-high 10 solo tackles.

Blount and company were not done scoring in the opening 30 minutes as this time the wide receiver capped USD’s 34-point first half outburst with a 15-yard touchdown reception with just over a minute to play.

Junior Ross Brenneman (Omaha, Neb.) sacked Warren on a 3rd-and-2 on the next possession, forcing another fumble that was pounced on by Belotti for his fourth fumble recovery of the season. Eight plays later Goska found Ivery from 10 yards out for the combo’s first scoring connection of the game, giving UND a 10-point edge.

The Sioux could net nothing on their initial possession of the second half and the Coyotes used just over seven minutes off the clock on theirs, settling for a 44-yard field goal by Kevin Robb to make it a 37-17 contest. But, that would be the only points of the half for USD, setting the stage for one of the most dramatic comebacks in Fighting Sioux history.

USD had a quick answer, however, as a 10-yard scoring strike from Warren pulled the visitors to within 17-14 five minutes into the second quarter. Then, after a pair of stalled drives by the UND offense, the Coyotes used two big punt returns by Jeremy Blount to set up two more touchdowns and give USD

Tight end Seth Nichols (McVille, N.D.) hauled in his first touchdown catch of his career on the opening series of the fourth quarter as Goska found the 6-foot-5 target wide open after a play-action pass on a 4th-and-1 from the USD 25-yard line.

2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL

MISSION

Philosophy

We believe that strength and conditioning is crucial to the complete development of the student-athlete. The philosophy of our strength and conditioning program is based on the belief that what occurs in the weight room and field transfers to the playing surface. We train sport specifically with the goal of enhancing athleticism. We also believe in the importance of work ethic, attitude, accountability and mental toughness and that these qualities can be developed and enhanced through our strength and conditioning program. At the University of North Dakota, one program, functioning behind the scenes, but which should not be taken lightly, is the strength and conditioning program. The strength and conditioning program at UND is among the finest in Division I and vital to the success of all UND athletic teams. The strength and conditioning staff commits themselves to the development of size, strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning, and body composition of each student-athlete. The goal of the strength staff is to develop the athlete and team to reach their maximum potential throughout their career while staying injury free. Nate Baukol, director of strength and conditioning, oversees the program and facilities. Baukol has three full-time assistant coaches and one graduate assistant coach to assist him. Together they direct and monitor the training of over 450 studentathletes in 20 sports at UND. UND also boasts some of the finest strength training facilities around. The facilities include the Ralph Engelstad Arena weight room, the Memorial Stadium weight room, and the Hyslop Sports Center weight room.

Training has become a year-round activity, with a student-athlete spending as much time on physical development as any other part of their sport throughout the year. Student-athletes follow either offseason or in-season programs, which are individualized specific to the athlete and sport. Off-season programs are five days a week, summer months included. Each athlete receives a comprehensive summer training manual to follow, given that a member of the strength staff wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be supervising them. In-season programs are typically 45-minute sessions, two to three days per week, supervised by the strength and conditioning staff. The University of North Dakotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football weight room and locker room in Memorial Stadium offer Fighting Sioux football players outstanding facilities in which to train and prepare themselves to compete in one of the toughest conferences in FCS football. The weight training facility and equipment was provided with the assistance of Jim and Joann McKay, UND Class of 1955 and John and Brenda Miller, UND Class of 1980.

#14 Corey Colehour Quarterback 1964-66

Colehour helped lead UND to a 25-4 record and two North Central Conference championships during his three years as the Fighting Sioux starting quarterback. During Colehour’s years, North Dakota played in its first two postseason games, winning both, and achieved a No. 10 UPI national ranking in 1965 and a No. 7 Associated Press national ranking in 1966.

The 1966 team averaged 34 points per game, a scoring average exceeded only one other time in UND history (38 points per game in 1972). Colehour still holds the NCC and UND record of six touchdown passes in a single game. A team tri-captain in 1966, Colehour was All-NCC in both 1965 and 1966 and was the NCC and UND most valuable back those same years. In 1966, he was named most valuable back in the Pecan Bowl after North Dakota beat Parson 42-24.

Colehour still ranks in the top 10 of virtually every UND passing category, and is tied for most career 250-yard passing games (eight) and most touchdown passes in a single season (19). Colehour became the first UND player to play in the postseason Senior Bowl all-star game (1967). He threw a touchdown pass in that game. Colehour was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 1967 NFL draft and played with the Falcons in 1967 and 1968. He played with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League from 1968 through 1970. Colehour is a native of Minneapolis, Minn., where he graduated from Southwest High School in 1963. He graduated from UND in 1968 with a degree in education. Colehour was inducted into the UND Hall of Fame in 1983 and was named to the UND All-Century team in 1993.

#2 Dwayne ‘Red’ Jarrett

#77 Dave Fennell

Defensive Tackle 1971-73

A three-year starter for the Fighting Sioux, Fennell earned all-North Central Conference honors in 1973. After graduating from UND in 1974, Fennell played with the Edmonton Eskimos for 10 seasons. He helped guide North Dakota to conference titles in 1971 and 1972. The Fighting Sioux went 10-1 in 1972 and defeated Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo 3821 in the Camelia Bowl. During Fennell’s three seasons at UND, North Dakota went 22-8-1. A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Fennell was named the Outstanding Canadian Player as well as the Outstanding Defensive Player in the 1982 Grey Cup. He helped lead the Eskimos to five straight Grey Cup titles from 1978-1982.

Jarrett was selected as UND’s first AllAmerican football player in 1930, and was also named the “Back of the Year” in the same year by the New York Herald Tribune. He scored the only touchdown allowed by the great Army team of 1930, the eventual national championship team. Following that game, the New York press nicknamed Jarrett, the “Red Rabbit of the Prairie.”

Following his eventful playing career at UND, Red served as UND’s head football coach in 1942 and from 1946 to 1948. He also was the head basketball coach for UND in 1945-46 and from 1949-1951, and served as the Athletic Director and head track coach from 1946 to 1958. As the Athletic Director, Red Jarrett was instrumental in UND’s move to Division 1 collegiate hockey competition in 1947, leading to one of the finest programs in the NCAA.

Running Back 1928-30

Jarrett was inducted into the UND Athletic Hall of Fame in 1975. He died at the age of 53 on April 26, 1962.

Said former UND Head Coach Marv “Whitey” Hellling about Colehour, “Corey was an exceptional quarterback on a very good team, and he was a master of taking advantage of his teammates’ collective abilities.”

Glenn “Red” Jarrett enrolled at UND in 1927 after an illustrious athletic career at Grand Forks Central High School. While at UND, he excelled in football, basketball and track, earning three letters in each sport while wearing the Green & White.

#54 Jim LeClair Linebacker 1970-71

A first-team AFCA and AP All-America selection and the North Central Conference Most Valuable Player in 1971, Jim LeClair was one of the best linebackers ever to play at the University of North Dakota. LeClair, who also earned All-NCC honors in 1970 and 1971, was drafted by the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals in the third round of the 1972 draft. He became a starting middle linebacker in 1974 and was named team captain in 1975, the same year he was named Bengals MVP. LeClair was named All-Pro in 1976 and also earned first alternate All-Pro states five other seasons. The Leclair-led Bengals played San Francisco in Super Bowl XVI, which is still considered one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever to be played.

The South St. Paul, Minn., native held the Bengals team captain moniker until 1983, when he began a two-year stint with the USFL’s N.J. Generals. He earned All-Pro honors in 1984 and retired from professional football in 1985. Jerry Olson, UND head coach from 1968-77, said in 1971, “Jim is a very complete football player: one of the best I’ve ever coached. He is a very intelligent and dedicated athlete.”

Fennell was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame in 1990 and was named one of the CFL’s Top 50 players of the modern era by TSN in 2006. “The thing about David was that he wanted to excel,” said Jerry Olson, UND’s head coach from 1968-77. “He was big, strong, fast and very intelligent. He was a great player and a great competitor. I never saw him overmatched in any game we played.”

Mann was named to the All-North Central Conference team in 1965 and 1966 and set a then-school record with 11 field goals during the 1966 North Central Conference Championship season, while scoring 70 points. After graduating in 1967, Mann signed with Denver of the American Football League and had a part in history. His two field goals were the difference in a 13-7 win over the Detroit Lions, the first time an AFL team defeated an NFL squad.

However, a serious thigh injury suffered later that season put Mann’s pro career in jeopardy. Told he would never be able to kick again, Mann was released by Denver, Kicker Cleveland and Green Bay. But he persevered 1965-66 and caught on with Detroit in 1969, setting franchise records for points by a kicker and field goals in the process. Mann would spend eight seasons with Detroit and left the team in 1976 as its all-time leading scorer. Mann signed on with the Oakland Raiders in 1976 and, in 1977, enjoyed the best season of his career. He led the NFL in scoring and became the only exSioux football player to win a Super Bowl ring, as the Raiders beat Minnesota 32-14. Mann retired from football in 1979 ranked 16th on the NFL’s all-time scoring list. A native of Campbell, Minn., Errol Mann was inducted into the UND Athletic Hall of Fame in 1983, was named to UND Football’s All Century team in 1994, and is a member of the 1966 team inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002.

Honored Jersey

Known to be the only UND football player to ever grace the cover of Life Magazine, Steve Myhra was a consensus All-America selection as an offensive guard, linebacker and place kicker for the Fighting Sioux in 1955 and 1956. A native of Wahpeton, N.D., Myhra led UND to wins over North Dakota State in ’55 and ’56 and was named the North Central Conference MVP following his senior season.

#77 Steve Myhra

Tackle, Linebacker, Kicker 1955-56

His greatest gridiron moment may have come when he kicked a field goal with just seven seconds left in regulation to send his Baltimore Colts team into overtime in the 1958 NFL championship game. The Colts went on to beat the N.Y. Giants in overtime to cap off what has been described as the best NFL game ever played. His game-tying kick was used as the cover photo of Life Magazine that month.

Possessed of great agility and strength, Myhra was a superb football player, widely respected by all who knew him. Following Myhra’s death in 1994, his coach, Frank Zazula, said, “He was one of the greatest athletes I ever coached. He could play five or six different positions.”

Honored Jersey The only player in University of North Dakota football history to have his uniform number retired, Cando, N.D., native Dave Osborn lettered two years for the Fighting Sioux in 1963 and 1964, when he led UND to back-to-back wins over North Dakota State. He was a first-year All-North Central Conference selection in 1964.

#41 Dave Osborn Halfback 1963-64

Osborn scored four touchdowns in the first game he started for the Sioux and in the last game he played for UND. He set the Sioux record for best single-game rushing average at 16.8 yards per carry when he ran the ball 12 times for 202 yards vs. Minnesota-Duluth on Sept. 14, 1963. He scored 10 touchdowns in 1964 and led the Fighting Sioux to a share of the North Central Conference title before moving on to a stellar NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings.

While with the Vikings, Osborn set the franchise record with 972 rushing yards in 1967. He ranked sixth among active rushers in the NFC at the conclusion of the 1974 season. Osborn concluded his illustrious professional career with a one-year stint with the Green Bay Packers in 1975.

Behl in 2006 in order to support scholarships for place kickers. Behl was a letterwinning kicker in 1953 and 1954. He graduated from UND in 1956 with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.

Henry Robb Berthiaume

Robb Berthiaume Memorial Scholarship This scholarship is presented annually to the defensive back that has demonstrated a high level of achievement on the field and in the classroom. Robb Berthiaume’s caring nature, intellectual prowess and passionate enthusiasm for sports were the hallmarks of this young University of North Dakota football player. A starter at corner as a sophomore, Robb was an integral part of the 1994 conference and Midwest Region championship team. In addition to his on-field achievements, Robb excelled in the classroom. A member of the UND Honors program, Robb was a marketing and pre-law major who had a grade point average above a 3.0. But it was his smile and personality that Robb was best known for. His ever-friendly and enthusiastic attitude made him a joy to be around. Robb’s promising life was tragically cut short in the fall of 1995. The Robb Berthiaume Memorial Scholarship has been established to honor Robb and the ideals he stood for. 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002

Mark Foss

Dale Greenless

Mark and Peggy Foss Endowment

Dale Greenlees Memorial Scholarship

Mark Foss was a UND football letterwinner in 1948, 1949, and 1950 and was a North Central Conference selection in 1948 and 1950. He was also on the basketball and track teams for one year and was a student member of the Athletic Board of Control. He studied civil engineering and earned a bachelor’s degree in 1951 and a master’s degree in 1955. The Mark and Peggy Endowment was established in 1995 and in 2007 was amended to support football scholarships. It will be awarded for the first time in 2010.

The recipient of this scholarship must be of high character and a strong contributor to the Fighting Sioux football team. In 1982, Dale came to UND and began his college and football careers. He majored in computer science with an emphasis in mathematics. He was a walk-on who wanted to play for the love of the game. On the football team, he quickly became respected by his teammates for his hard work and perseverance and was known for his speed and strength. In 1985, Dale was named to the North Central Conference All Academic Team and received All-NCC honorable mention recognition. Dale began his professional career as an information systems specialist for Altru Health Systems in Grand Forks. He became a leader in his department for 10 years, guiding United Hospital through new technologies. In 1996, Dale accepted a position with Northwest Airlines and quickly received the reputation as a computer genius for solving problems that were previously unsolvable. He is credited for the design of a computer program that helped make air traffic control considerably safer. In honor and recognition of all that Dale Greenlees accomplished in his lifetime, athletically, academically, and professionally, family and friends established the Dale Greenlees Football Scholarship Endowment.

If there is a story told about UND football in the 60s and 70s, chances are Eugene “Gene” Murphy is a part of it. “Murph” was a three-year letterwinner (1960, 1961, and 1962) and team captain in 1962 before starting his coaching career at UND. An assistant coach from 1963-77, he took over as head coach for Jerry Olson in 1978. His head coaching career with the Fighting Sioux only lasted two season, but he won 15 games in his short tenure. His coaching numbers do not come close to telling the whole story as coach Murphy had a huge impact on Fighting Sioux football and at Cal State Fullerton, where he continued his coaching career. “I’ve worked for John Robinson and Mike Holmgren. They’re household names,” former NFL head coach and onetime assistant for Murphy Steve Mariucci once said. “I will tell you, I learned more from Gene Murphy about coaching and how to be a head coach than both of those men put together.” The Eugene “Gene” Murphy Endowment has been established by former UND players and coaches from the 1960s and 70s for football scholarships. 2010 Dan Hendrickson (Jr., LB) 2009 Joel Schwenzfeier (Jr., DB)

Todd Thomas (left) and Jay Hilbert (right)

Todd Thomas Memorial Endowment/HOG Fund The Todd Thomas Memorial Endowment/HOG Fund was established by the UND Foundation to honor Todd, who passed away in 2000 at the age of 40, and to keep his legacy of excellence alive. Originally set up as a memorial scholarship in 2000, the award was modified in 2003 as a way to support the priority needs of the UND offensive line (the “Hogs”). Each year’s support gift is chosen by the award winner, the UND offensive linemen and offensive line coach. In support of this endowment, former Sioux lineman Jay Hilbert (1977-82) has helped form a HOG Executive Committee with more than 20 members to help in enhancing this endowment. Todd Thomas left his mark at UND as an outstanding athlete and an excellent student. Todd was an all-conference offensive tackle and graduated with cum laude honors in chemical engineering. Todd was drafted in the fifth round of the 1981 NFL draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. After playing four years in the NFL and the USFL, Todd fell back on his engineering degree. Todd eventually became the holder of seven patents and was considered a worldwide expert in underbalanced drilling techniques, which helped revolutionize underground oil and gas recovery. 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002

1925 North Dakota Football Team

Football came to UND in 1892 under the leadership of Adolph Bechdolt, professor of English and Education, who had seen the game played at Lafayette. The team played only intra-squad games. •

•

The first “dedicated” football field was set up in 1899 with the assistance of UND benefactor William Budge. The University Athletic Association secured the plot by paying $150 in back taxes. Football players supplied their own uniforms. Half purchased green stockings, and the other half bought red ones. Each player wore one red and one green stocking in games. Harry C. (Babe) Loomis became the University’s first paid coach when he was hired at a salary of $200 for six weeks in 1899. His football team won all six of its games, outscoring opponents by a total of 179-5. The success of the 1899 team on the field was just a hint of things to come. Captain and center Lynn Frazier became the first UND alumnus to be elected governor of North Dakota. Other members included William Nuessle, who became the chief justice of the North Dakota Supreme Court; William Lemke, who became North Dakota’s attorney general and then served in Congress; and Victor Wardrope, who was to be the first alumnus appointed a University trustee. Football at the turn of the century was a brutal affair. Passing was illegal, so the ball was advanced through the efforts of human “battering rams.” To protect the runner, offensive linemen would lock arms and attempt to mow down anyone in the way.

1953 North Dakota football team

•

Following a mediocre football season in 1907, students complained that the official colors of pink and green failed to elicit respect from UND’s opponents. Before 1917, there had been some efforts to change the University’s colors to black and gold, but influential alumni voiced their opposition. Green and white uniforms were worn in the 1920s. These became the official athletic colors in 1947. The Flickertail Club was organized in 1924 to raise funds for the construction of new athletic facilities. Enough was raised to begin construction in 1926. At the homecoming celebration on Oct. 8, 1927, a handsome brick stadium seating 8,000 was dedicated in honor of the University’s war dead. Before the opening of Memorial Stadium, the largest crowd ever assembled for a North Dakota football game was fewer than 1,500.

•

Elmer Hanson, announcer for KFJM, made the first radio broadcast from Memorial Stadium on Oct. 29, 1927, as UND beat the North Dakota Agricultural College 13-0. The first radio broadcasts of UND athletic events were of basketball games from the UND Armory in 1926-27, also by KFJM and Elmer Hanson.

•

Lights were installed at Memorial Stadium in 1929, and night games were played there until Oct. 5, 1963. The lights were removed in 1966.

150 FOOTBALL HISTORY :: EARLY FOOTBALL BEGINNINGS

•

Glenn “Red” Jarrett was named in 1930 to the New York Herald-Tribune All American team at halfback, the first UND player to be so honored. The three-sport star played at UND from 1928 to 1931 and later served as coach and athletic director.

•

Frederick “Fritz” Pollard, who played halfback and was named to Collier’s Little All-American First Team in 1938, won a bronze medal in the high hurdles at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, despite a serious leg injury.

•

Cyrus Kahl, who lettered in 192829, was the first UND player to sign a professional football contract, with the Portsmouth (Ohio) Spartans in 1930 and 1931. Among several UND alumni who played professionally in the 1930s was Irv Kupcinet, who achieved national fame as a columnist and radio personality after playing for the Philadelphia Eagles.

This material was extracted primarily from the chapter, “Athletes,” written by the late Lee Bohnet, longtime UND sports information director, for the University’s centennial history, A Century on the Northern Plains.

2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL

Memorial Stadium The 10,000-seat UND Memorial Stadium served as home to UND football home games from 1927 to 2000. The stadium boasts a rich and colorful history. UND posted a 247-88-9 record (.731) in 72 seasons at Memorial Stadium, but lost the first and last games it played there. In the first game at the stadium (Oct. 8, 1927), UND lost, 7-0, to Creighton, and in the last game there (Oct. 28, 2000), the Sioux lost, 35-23, to Augustana. The stadium still serves as home of the North Dakota football offices and practice field along with training, weight, equipment and locker rooms. Built in 1927 as a memorial to members of the University of North Dakota community who died during World War I, the facility was one of the first examples of the Late Gothic Revival architectural design on campus. “Turrets” at the ends of the grandstands and the solid massing give it the appearance of a fortress.

In 1985, the stadium underwent renovations to install an artificial turf playing surface and an all-weather, eight-lane running track. Renovations of office space have also taken place. A new artificial turf was installed prior to the 1998 season.

2012 NORTH DAKOTA FOOTBALL Sitting Bull Trophy

From 1953 to 1999, UND and the University of South Dakota competed for the Sitting Bull trophy, a carved oaken bust of the famous Sioux Indian leader, awarded after a mild dispute between the states following removal of some of the late leader’s remains from a grave near Fort Yates, N.D. T he trophy was first awarded by Sodak Sports, a defunct sports weekly. UND won the trophy 28 times, compared to just 15 for USD.

Nickel Trophy

The Nickel Trophy, 250 times larger than a regular five-cent piece and weighing 75 pounds, was inaugurated in 1938 and was presented each fall to the winner of the North Dakota-North Dakota State football contest during the series that ran through the 2003 season. T wo inches thick and 22 inches in diameter, it is an exact replica of the once-minted U.S. coin. It has been the object of many intercampus raids, recoveries and more thefts. The late Robert Kunkel, a UND alumnus and Chicago advertising executive, was the originator of the trophy. Blue Key, an honorary service fraternity on each campus, awarded the Nickel Trophy to the winning team. ND leads in the battle for the aluminum alloy “slug” 35-30. In one stretch, U the Green and White won it 12 straight times. In the all-time series against North Dakota State, UND leads 62-45-3. The Sioux retained the trophy in 2003, winning 28-21 in overtime at the Alerus Center, the most recent meeting between the two teams.

In 2001, North Dakota defeated North Dakota State 19-7 to take back the Nickel Trophy.

Potato Bowl USA

The Potato Bowl USA is a week-long festival teaming the University of North Dakota and the Red River Valley potato growing industry. It features a Hugo’s Potato Bowl Pete Hidden Medallion Contest, a Hugo’s 8K run, golf tournament, the world’s largest french fry feed, pep rally, service club breakfast, parade, and tailgating party football game featuring the University of North Dakota. The week’s activities are arranged by the Potato Bowl Committee, a group of Greater Grand Forks volunteers.

The 2012 Potato Bowl USA Ambassadors are Christopher Gjelsness (Reynolds, N.D.) and Josephine Thompson (Park River, N.D.).

The Potato Bowl USA was created in 1965 by then UND Athletic Director Leonard R. “Len” Marti, head football Coach Marv “Whitey” Helling, assistant football coach Jerry Olson and sports information director Lee Bohnet. The first Potato Bowl USA was played in 1966, when North Dakota shut out Idaho State 41-0 in a battle for pride among potato growing regions. North Dakota is 34-11 in Potato Bowl USA history.

MINERAL WATER BOWL

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo. – UND forced eight Northern Illinois turnovers while committing none enroute to beating the Huskies, 37-20, in the 17th annual Mineral Water Bowl. The Huskies gave away three fumbles and had five passes intercepted in finishing its season with a 9-1 record. UND also wound up the year with a 9-1 mark. UND scored on its first possession on a 1-yard run by junior quarterback Corey Colehour and were never seriously threatened by the sixthranked Huskies. Sioux cornerback Stan Wright got things started when he returned the opening kickoff 65 yards to the Northern Illinois 30-yard line. Four plays later Colehour punched it in and Errol Mann’s extra point made it 7-0 just 3:06 into the game. Northern Illinois successfully executed a 90-yard halfback option pass on its second play from scrimmage that went for a touchdown by Gerry Sandberg. The Huskies’ extra point attempt was wide, however, and UND led 7-6. T he teams traded two more touchdowns in the first half, and UND led 21-20 at halftime. Northern Illinois would get no closer, though, as UND recorded a safety in the third quarter and two fourth quarter touchdowns. The Sioux ran 92 offensive plays to just 41 for Northern Illinois. Of the Huskies’ 323 total yards, three were on plays of 90, 63 and 42 yards. Starting Huskies’ quarterback Ron Christian sustained a knee injury in the second quarter and missed much of the game until returning in the fourth quarter. Sioux junior halfback Ron Bergh was named the game’s outstanding back after he rushed for two touchdowns and 74 yards on 17 carries. UND sophomore Jerry Quaderer led all ballcarriers with 83 yards in 19 attempts. NOTES: Sioux end Dave Lince was honored as the top lineman. Northern Illinois linebacker Terry Henigan was given the top tackler award ... Sioux cornerback Stan Wright had two interceptions and Colehour passed for 201 yards ... It was Northern Illinois’ third trip to the Mineral Water Bowl, while the Sioux were making their first appearance in the game ... It was UND’s first postseason action since 1930, when the Sioux defeated the Los Angeles Firemen, a major college all-star team, by a score of 14-9 on Christmas day on the west coast.

PECAN BOWL

ABILENE, Texas – Football-loving Texans applauded. The Fighting Sioux and all of the North Central Conference commended the University of North Dakota for its 42-24 Pecan Bowl triumph over Parsons College of Fairfield, Iowa, in the third annual Pecan Bowl. The free-wheeling Sioux, showing their usual splendid passing game that had smashed seven foes and led to a conference title tie, simply had too many horses for the heavier Parsons outfit in this game that brought UND its first NCAA College Division Midwest football title. There were many Sioux heroes in this wild, fan-pleasing game that produced 19 NCAA bowl records, 17 of the marks by UND coach Marv “Whitey” Helling’s team as it unleashed a furious offense in windy, 30-degree weather at P.E. Shotwell Stadium in this West Texas city of 120,000.

UND scored first. After a nine-play drive, Sioux quarterback Corey Colehour drove to the enemy 18, where a field goal attempt by Errol Mann went awry. Mann’s short kick was caught by Parsons, but UND forced a fumble and Mann recovered. On the next play, Colehour threw a 13-yard pass to John Conrad with 6:36 left in the first quarter and Mann kicked the extra point for a 7-0 UND lead. The Sioux made it 14-0 after a fake field goal attempt from the Parsons 14-yard line. UND back Pete Porinsh took the snap from center and gained 10 yards to the 4, and on the next play Porinsh ran it in. The Sioux extended their lead on a 43-yard touchdown pass from Colehour to Jim Hester to finish off a six-play 80-yard drive. Parsons had cut the lead to 21-10 in the third quarter, but UND capped off a 72-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run by Porinsh with 15 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The Sioux made it 35-10 with 6:46 left in the game on Colehour’s second 43-yard TD pass of the afternoon, this time to Porinsh. Parsons made a valiant effort to come back in the game’s final minutes, narrowing the score to 3524 with 3:10 to play, but UND put the game out of reach when Colehour hit sophomore split end Billy Predovich in the end zone with a 30-yard pass on a third-and-13 play with 51 seconds left in the game. Mann’s extra point made it 42-24. Colehour was named the game’s most valuable back and UND’s Roger Bonk was named the most valuable lineman. After watching Colehour throw for 274 yards, Parsons coach Marcelino Huerta, Jr., said after the game that Colehour “was the best quarterback I’ve seen this year. He’s a pro prospect, you can bet on that.” Note: This summary was excerpted from a game story written by former UND sports information director Lee Bohnet.

CAMILLIA BOWL

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – More than 17,000 fans were on hand to see North Dakota defeat Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, 38-21, in the 12th annual Camellia Bowl in a game that decided the NCAA West College Football championship. The win was the 10th of the season for the Sioux, setting a school record. UND finished the year with a 10-1 mark, while Cal Poly finished 8-1-1. UND shut down a Cal Poly running game that was averaging 227 yards per game, limiting the Mustangs to just 63 rushing yards on 33 attempts. Meanwhile the Sioux ran for 266 yards on 70 attempts, led by senior Mike Deutsch’s 119 yards on 41 carries. North Dakota took a 3-0 lead 4:30 into the game on a 36-yard field goal by Jim Gronowski and made it 10-0 when Jay Gustafson connected with tight end Lawrie Skolrood on a 13-yard touchdown pass with 2:40 left in the first quarter. UND was leading 17-0 in the second quarter when Cal Poly defensive tackle Dave Quirk intercepted a pass and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown. That made it 17-7 at halftime. UND upped its lead to 24-7 with 2:18 to play in the third quarter on a 2-yard run by Deutsch. The touchdown capped a 17-play, 81-yard drive that took over seven minutes. The Sioux eventually opened up a 31-7 lead before Cal Poly managed two touchdowns in the game’s final four minutes. UND was just trying to run out the clock, but freshman running back Dale Kasowski scored on a 49-yard run up the middle with just three seconds to play. NOTES: The crowd of 17,194 was the highest of all four 1972 NCAA regional bowls ... Deutsch was named the game’s most valuable offensive player and Cal Poly linebacker Gregg Lee received the game’s most valuable defensive player honors – the team’s respective schools received $1,000 scholarships in the names of the two players ... The game was televised by ABC to a regional audience, with Lee Grosscup and Lynn Sanners handling the announcing chores ... The contest was seen on KTHI-TV, Ch. 11, in Grand Forks ... Game time temperature was 34 degrees.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Unranked Livingston (Ala.) scored three second-half touchdowns to break a 14-14 halftime tie and upset No. 1-ranked North Dakota in a first round NCAA playoff game at Memorial Stadium. Livingston raised its record to 10-2 and advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinals in Wichita Falls, Texas, where it lost to Northern Michigan in the Pioneer Bowl. Northern Michigan went on to the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento, Calif., where it won the national championship. The loss to Livingston was the first of the season for UND, which finished 9-1. After Livingston took a 14-0 first quarter lead, the Sioux came back with a strong second quarter, scoring touchdowns on a seven-yard run by quarterback Brian Grover and an eightyard run by running back Dale Kasowski. Kasowski led all runners with 146 yards rushing on 25 carries. The game was fairly even, statistically, but Livingston made big plays, while North Dakota was victimized by mistakes and an inability to make plays at key times. The Sioux drove to Livingston’s 10-yard line on their opening possession, but were stopped on a fourth-and-one from there. With the score tied 14-14 in the third quarter, a pass reception by UND’s Tom Petrik moved the ball to the Livingston four-yard line, but a clipping penalty negated the gain, and UND failed to score. Livingston, which used a wishbone formation and no-huddle offense with alternating quarterbacks throughout, scored what was the eventual game-winning touchdown on an eight-yard run by quarterback Ricky Seale with 1:33 left in the third quarter. The Tigers made it 28-14 on a 63-yard touchdown run by quarterback Willie Slater with 11:48 left in the game. Livingston running back Alvin Edwards took a counter handoff 49 yards for a touchdown with 5:51 to finish the scoring. NOTES: UND came into the game ranked first nationally in three polls – the UPI, AP and NCAA polls, while Livingston was unranked ... The temperature was 28 degrees at game time but was not considered a factor in the outcome, according to UND coach Jerry Olson ... There was a 10-to 15-mile per hour wind out of the northwest that grew stronger as the game went on ... The game was not televised ... Livingston linebacker Paul Davis made eight solo tackles, assisted on five others and forced two fumbles.

JACKSON, Miss. – UND took a 7-6 lead into the locker room at halftime, but Mississippi College scored 15 points in the first nine minutes of the third quarter and went on to win, 35-15, in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. It was the second time in five years that a UND playoff appearance was spoiled by a Gulf South Conference team, with both losses coming by 20 points. In 1975, Livingston (Ala.) beat the Sioux 34-14 after the game was tied 14-14 at the half. Mississippi College raised its record to 10-2 and advanced to the NCAA Division II semifinals, where it lost to eventual national champion Delaware. UND finished its season with a 10-2 record. The Choctaws led 6-0 in the second quarter, but UND went 68 yards in 12 plays, scoring on a oneyard touchdown run by Gary Pietruszewski with 6:21 to play before the half. The Sioux received the second-half kickoff, but on UND’s fourth play of the third quarter, Mississippi College recovered a Sioux fumble on the UND 36-yard line, and the Choctaws scored seven plays later on a one-yard run by Wayne Pharis to take the lead with 10:34 to play in the third. A two-point conversion made the score 14-7. On North Dakota’s next play from scrimmage, Mississippi College linebacker Ralph Ashley intercepted a pass at the Sioux 38, and the Choctaws scored on a 20-yard run by Bruce Hulitt with 6:43 left in the third. Mississippi College extended its lead to 28-7 just 30 seconds into the fourth quarter on a five-yard run by Daryl Posey. Pietruszewski scored his second touchdown of the game with 2:48 to play and UND’s Tom Shorma ran in the two-point conversion attempt to make the score 28-15, but an on-side kick attempt by the Sioux failed. Mississippi College’s Major Everett then scored on a 41-yard run up the middle with 1:09 to play for the final score of the game. NOTES: UND left end Joe Friederichs led all players with 17 total tackles, with four of those for lost yardage ... The game was the first-ever postseason game for Mississippi College ... UND held Choctaws tailback Calvin Howard to just 56 yards rushing; Howard came into the game as the No. 2 rusher in Division II with 1,401 yards ... The field was soaked by four inches of rain on the two days prior to the game ...

PITTSBURG, Kan. – Pitt State running back Ronald Moore ran for 100 yards on 29 carries and scored three touchdowns – two in the second half – to lead the No. 1-ranked Gorillas to a 26-21 comeback win over 13th-ranked North Dakota in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. It was the third consecutive playoff defeat for North Dakota, which finished the 1992 season with a 6-4-1 overall record. It was the 23rd consecutive win for Pitt State, the defending national champion. The Gorillas raised their record to 12-0 with the win and went on to win two more playoff games before losing, 1713, to Jacksonville State in the NCAA Division II championship game in Florence, Ala. Moore gave the Gorillas a 6-0 lead and the extra point by Jeff Wood made it 7-0 with 9:46 to play in the first quarter after an eight-play, 48-yard drive. UND cut the score to 7-6 with 2:06 to play in the first quarter when running back Shannon Burnell scored on a two-yard run to cap a 14-play, 60yard drive. UND kicker Darcy Dahlem’s extrapoint attempt was blocked. Pitt State scored on its next possession on a 13yard touchdown scramble by quarterback Brian Hutchins. The extra-point snap was fumbled, and Wood did not get a kick off, making the score 13-6 with 24 seconds left in the first. UND took the lead on Burnell’s second touchdown of the day, a two-yard run with 6:32 to play in the second quarter. Sioux quarterback threw to tight end John Schumacher for the two-point conversion, making the score 14-13 in favor of UND. That was the score at halftime, but Pitt State scored on its first drive of the third quarter after UND turned the ball over by fumbling the second half’s opening kickoff. After recovering on the UND 33-yard line, Pitt State scored on its eighth play, a one-yard run by Moore with 11:09 to play in the third. A twopoint conversion pass was incomplete, making the score 19-14. The Gorillas extended their lead early in the fourth quarter. Late in the third quarter, Pitt State’s Joel Thornton intercepted a Wahl pass at the Gorillas’ 31-yard line and returned it nine yards to the Pitt State 40. After seven plays ended the third quarter, Moore finished the drive on the first play of the fourth quarter on a three-yard touchdown run. Wood’s kick made it 26-14. UND cut the lead to 26-21 with 3:34 to play in the game on a 40-yard touchdown pass from Wahl to Tim Gelinske and extra point by Dahlem. The Sioux had one final possession, getting the ball on their own 31-yard line with 2:01 to play. Three straight Wahl completions moved the ball to the Pitt State 48-yard line, but the Sioux turned it over on possessions, and the Gorillas ran out the clock. NOTES: Moore went on to win the Harlon Hill award in 1992 and later played in the NFL ... The game time temperature was 43 degrees with the wind measured at 10-15 miles per hour from the northeast.

FIRST ROUND, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND’s Darcy Dahlem kicked a 31-yard field goal with 6:36 to play to lift the Fighting Sioux to a 17-14 win over Pittsburg State in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The win sent UND (9-2) into the second round of the playoffs against North Central Conference co-champion Mankato State (10-2), which defeated Missouri Southern, 34-13, in the first round. Pittsburg State ended its season with an 8-3 overall record. The game was a rematch of the 1992 NCAA Division II playoff game that saw Pittsburg State defeat UND, 26-21, in Pittsburg, Kan. Dahlem’s kick was the 11th play in a 57-yard drive. On the winning drive, UND running back Shannon Burnell ran three times for 21 yards, but the biggest play was a 12-yard sideline pass from Sioux quarterback K.J. Coghlan to Aaron Schramm on which UND was given an additional five yards because of a Pitt State facemask penalty. That gave UND a first down on the Gorillas’ 23-yard line. After the drive stalled at the PSU 13-yard line, Dahlem made his gamewinning kick. Pitt State took the ensuing kickoff and moved to the UND 28-yard line, but on second-andnine, Sioux safety Monte Schmaltz stopped a Gorillas’ option play for a four-yard loss, and on third-and-13, UND cornerback Dallas Rysavy stopped an attempted reverse for a 14-yard loss. On fourth down and 27, the Sioux stopped Pitt State quarterback Brian Hutchins to take over on downs with 1:17 to play. Five plays later UND ran out the clock to end the game. UND tied the score 14-14 with 1:52 to play in the third quarter on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Clay Wagner to Aaron Schramm. Pittsburg State held a 7-0 halftime lead after scoring on a 10-yard pass from Brian Hutchins to Paul Sparkman with 11 seconds to play in the first quarter. The Sioux tied it, 7-7, with 11:05 to play in the third quarter when Wagner connected with Tom Hagert on a 41-yard TD pass. The Gorillas took a 14-7 lead with 4:29 to play in the third quarter on a two-yard run by Hutchins. The game took just 2:27 to play, as both teams relied heavily on their rushing prowess to keep the clock moving. UND rushed 46 times for 230 yards, while Pitt State ran 51 times for 259 yards. The Sioux attempted just 23 passes on the afternoon, and the Gorillas threw just six times. Burnell had 191 rushing yards on 32 carries for UND, while Pitt State’s Joey Tobin had 125 rushing yards on 21 carries. NOTES: UND snapped a three-game postseason losing streak ... The game was played on a sunny day with a game-time temperature of 41 degrees and a south wind gusting between 10 and 20 miles per hour ... The last time UND played host to a playoff game was in 1975 against Livingston.

QUARTERFINALS, ncaa dii playoffs

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND quarterback Clay Wagner threw for 294 yards and a school playoffrecord five touchdown passes (broken in 2001) to lead the Fighting Sioux to a 54-21 quarterfinal playoff win over Mankato State at Memorial Stadium. It was a cold day in Grand Forks, with the gametime temperature just 15 degrees, but both teams’ offenses were hot. The Sioux racked up 481 total offensive yards, while the Mavericks tallied 373 yards of their own in total offense. Another factor in the game was turnovers, with Mankato State committing seven to just one by UND. The win advanced North Dakota (10-2) to the NCAA semifinals against Indiana (Pa.) (12-0). The Sioux jumped out to a 21-0 lead on Mankato State and led 41-7 after three quarters to all but clinch the victory. Both teams scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. UND started fast, scoring on its opening drive on a 29-yard screen pass from Wagner to running back Shannon Burnell. The Mavericks, meanwhile, threw interceptions on their first two possessions, but the Sioux did not capitalize on those turnovers. With UND leading 14-0 in the second quarter, the Mavericks fumbled the ball away on their own 33-yard line, and this time UND took advantage of the miscue, with Wagner throwing a 29-yard pass to Tom Hagert for a touchdown. It was one of three touchdown catches on the day for Hagert, who on the afternoon totaled 156 yards on eight receptions. After Mankato State scored on an impressive 15-play drive to make it 21-7, UND took just two plays to make it 28-7 when Wagner found Hagert in the end zone for a 40-yard touchdown pass. A 29-yard field goal by Sioux kicker Darcy Dahlem made it 31-7 with 14:05 to play in the third quarter, and then Wagner and Hagert combined for their third touchdown, this time a 41-yarder with 7:32 to play. Dahlem’s second field goal of the day, a 32-yarder, made it 41-7 after three. Among the game’s defensive standouts were Sioux cornerbacks Brent Johnson and Dallas Rysavy. Johnson had two interceptions and eight total tackles, and Rysavy had nine total tackles and one pass breakup. Burnell had 126 rushing yards on 24 carries. It was Burnell’s third consecutive 100-yard rushing game in the playoffs. Mavericks’ quarterback Jamie Pass, a Harlon Hill Award finalist, threw for 215 yards and was also Mankato State’s leading rusher, with 90 yards on 14 carries. NOTES: UND held the ball for 34:32 to 25:28 for Mankato State.

INDIANA, Pa. – UND’s 1993 playoff run came to an end on a muddy field in Indiana, Pa., as fourth-ranked IUP opened up a 21-0 lead and did not allow the Sioux to get on the scoreboard until there were just 24 seconds remaining in the game. Like the Sioux did a week earlier against Mankato State, IUP dominated the time of possession, holding the ball for 36:46 to UND’s 23:14. The Indians ran 72 offensive plays to just 52 for the Sioux. IUP raised its record to 13-0 and advanced to the national championship game the following week in Florence, Ala., where the Indians lost to North Alabama. UND ended its season with a 10-3 record. IUP got all the points it needed on the opening drive of the game, when running back Michael Mann, a Harlon Hill Award finalist, scored on a four-yard run to cap a 12-play drive. Mann carried seven times for 28 yards on the drive. Indians’ kicker Michael Geary kicked the extra point to make it 7-0 with 9:27 to play in the quarter. UND came right back with an impressive possession of its own, but its 17-play drive ended with no points when Sioux kicker Darcy Dahlem missed a 22-yard field goal. The drive took 8:03. UND then forced IUP to punt, but the Sioux fumbled on the return, and the Indians capitalized on the turnover by scoring on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Scott Woods to Derrick Smith, making it 14-0 with 12:20 to play in the half. The Sioux managed just one first down and 25 yards in their next two possessions, and IUP upped its lead to 21-0 on an eight-yard pass from Woods to Scott McLellan with 54 seconds left in the half. The only scoring in the second half came on UND’s final drive of the game. Trailing 21-0 with 3:15 to play, North Dakota moved 83 yards in nine plays, with Sioux quarterback Clay Wagner completing a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Josh Ostby with 27 seconds left. Dahlem’s extra point attempt was blocked. UND attempted an onside kick, but IUP recovered and kneeled down on the game’s final play to run out the clock. Mann was held to just 58 yards on 17 carries, but IUP’s Willie Dodson ran for a game-high 83 yards on 19 carries. Woods completed 19 of 27 passes for 171 yards. For UND, Shannon Burnell’s streak of rushing for 100 yards in three consecutive playoff games came to an end, as Burnell was limited to 48 yards on 10 carries.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND quarterback Clay Wagner threw three touchdown passes and Sioux running back Ross Almlie ran for 174 yards to lead North Dakota to an 18-6 win over Northeast Missouri in the first round of the 1994 NCAA Division II playoffs at Memorial Stadium. The win was the seventh in a row for the Sioux and their 13th home win in their past 14 home games. UND (9-2) advanced to play North Dakota State in the Division II quarterfinals, while Northeast Missouri finished its season with an 8-3 mark. The Sioux opened the scoring when Wagner threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to receiver Josh Ostby with 12:11 to play in the first quarter. It was the seventh consecutive game in which Ostby caught a touchdown pass. UND kicker Juan Gomez-Tagle’s extra-point attempt was blocked. Still leading 6-0, the Sioux got on the board again early in the second quarter. UND cornerback Brent Johnson intercepted a pass by Bulldogs’ quarterback Mike Vaughn at Northeast Missouri’s 38-yard line and returned it 11 yards to the 27-yard line. UND scored on its third play after the turnover when Wagner threw a 24-yard scoring pass to sophomore running back Tom Langer. It was Langer’s first career touchdown. A two-point conversion pass attempt failed, and UND led 12-0 with 12:58 to play in the half. The Bulldogs narrowed the score to 12-6 on a three-yard run by tailback Jarrett Anderson on Northeast Missouri’s first drive of the second half. Kicker Scott Rudel’s extra point attempt was no good. UND regained its 12-point lead on its next drive. A short kickoff was brought back by Sioux return man James Cheatham to UND’s 41, and UND moved downfield in just six plays. Langer ran up the middle for 20 yards to the Northeast Missouri 36, and then Wagner connected with junior wide receiver Jeff McElroy on a 16-yard touchdown pass with 10:39 to play in the third. Once again, a two-point conversion pass attempt failed, and the 18-6 score held up for the remainder of the game. The Bulldogs moved into UND territory three times, but could get no closer than the Sioux 26, and each time the UND defense held. U N D noseguard Mark Callahan had 14 total tackles (five solo), including one quarterback sack, and linebacker Tim Tibesar had 11 total tackles (four solo). Anderson, a Harlon Hill Award finalist, had 147 yards rushing on 36 carries and Northeast Missouri tight end led all receivers with six catches for 63 yards.

First round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND opened up a 10-0 lead after the first quarter, but North Dakota State scored 41 unanwered points and went on to defeat the Sioux 41-10 in the first round of the playoffs. UND finished its season with a 9-2 record, while NDSU raised its mark to 10-2 and went on to lose to Pitt State in the playoff quarterfinals. For the Bison, the win avenged a 21-7 loss to the Sioux two weeks earlier at Memorial Stadium. NDSU’s offense rolled up 297 rushing yards on 55 carries and added 116 yards through the air for 413 total yards, more than double UND’s 200 net offensive yards. A pair of freshmen – quarterback Kevin Feeney and running back Reggie Scott – did most of the damage for the Bison. Feeney had 27 carries for 135 yards and completed 10 of 11 passes for 116 yards. Scott had 155 rushing yards on 27 carries and also caught four passes for 21 yards. UND scored first after a 14-play, 62-yard drive with a 20-yard field goal by Juan Gomez-Tagle with 5:52 to play in the first quarter. UND freshman running back Phillip Moore carried nine times for 54 yards on the drive. The Sioux then forced the Bison to punt after just three plays, and on first-and-10 from the UND 38, Sioux quarterback Kevin Klancher hit wide receiver Josh Ostby on a 53-yard pass and an NDSU personal foul put the ball on the fouryard line. Moore scored on the next play on a four-yard run up the middle, and Gomez-Tagle kicked the extra point to make it 10-0 with 3:17 remaining in the first quarter. UND managed just 84 yards after that, however, while NDSU got four touchdown runs from Feeney and two from Scott. The leading tackler in the game for North Dakota was left end David Hillesheim, who had 11 tackles (all solo). Sioux linebackers Tim Tibesar and Jason Mitchell each had nine tackles. NOTES: This was UND’s fourth straight season to appear in the NCAA playoffs. The game was played under sunny skies and a 35-degree temperature with a SE win blowing from 10-20 miles per hour.

GREELEY, Colo. – North Dakota’s fifth NCAA playoff appearance of the decade started with a first-half shootout and ended in a defensive struggle. In the end, UND did not have enough weapons as Northern Colorado came away with the firstround victory in a game that saw each team rack up more than 500 yards of total offense (UND 507, UNC 520). North Dakota’s season came to an end with the Sioux posting an 8-3 overall record. Northern Colorado, bidding for its third consecutive national title, upped its record to 11-1, but were defeated the next week in the quarterfinals by eventual national champion Northwest Missouri State. Most of the scoring took place in the first quarter, with Northern Colorado leading 28-14 after one. The Bears got two touchdowns in the game’s first 5:25, but UND cut the score to 14-7 when Sioux quarterback Sean Greenwaldt hit wide receiver Mike Juhasz on a 40-yard touchdown pass with 7:44 to play in the first quarter. Northern Colorado scored on its third consecutive drive, though, when quarterback Corte McGuffey ran it in from 14 yards with 5:31 to play in the first. UND was forced to punt on its next possession and Bears return man Keith Grable returned the punt 60 yards to the Sioux seven-yard line. McGuffey hit Dillan Micus for a touchdown pass on the next play and the extra point made it 28-7 with 2:47 left in the first quarter. The Sioux then came back with an impressive drive that ended with a 31-yard touchdown pass from Greenwaldt to Phillip Moore. The extra point made the score 28-14, and that’s how the quarter ended. UNC continued its offensive onslaught in the second quarter, outscoring the Sioux 14-10 to take a 42-24 halftime lead. I n all, Northern Colorado scored touchdowns on its first five possessions and on six out of seven possessions in the first half. The Bears added a field goal and touchdown in the second half to conclude the scoring. Greenwaldt threw for 229 yards and three touchdowns, two to Juhasz, who caught four passes for 119 yards. UND running back Phillip Moore rushed 25 times for 155 yards in his final game, the 25th time in his career he topped the century mark. NOTES: UND posted a 22-3 record when Moore ran for 100 or more yards in a game.

First round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS

MARYVILLE, Mo. – North Dakota’s sixth NCAA playoff appearance of the 90s decade looked promising as the Fighting Sioux took a 13-0 halftime lead to the locker room. Northwest Missouri State mounted a comeback, however, scoring 13 points in the second half and sending the game to overtime tied at 13. UND’s season ended when David Jansen scored on a 1-yard plunge and the Sioux were unable to answer. North Dakota’s season ended with a 9-2 overall record, while Northwest Missouri raised its record to 11-1 and went on to win the national title. UND got the scoring started when cornerback Brant Grimes returned a blocked field goal 66 yards for a touchdown with 3:56 to play in the first quarter. Cameron Peterka kicked the extra point to make it 7-0 and then added two second quarter field goals to give the Sioux a 13-0 halftime lead. The Bearcats narrowed the margin to 13-7 on a big special teams play of their own when Tony Miles scored on a 64-yard punt return with 12:34 to play in the third quarter. UND was still leading 13-7 late in the third quarter, but Northwest Missouri put together a nine-play, 51-yard drive that ended with a 46yard field goal by David Purnell. That made it 1310 with 2:14 to play in the third quarter. The Bearcats tied it with 10:19 to play in the game on another field goal by Purnell, this time from 36 yards out. Neither team managed any solid scoring chances the remainder of regulation time, and that sent the game to overtime, marking the first time UND was involved in a playoff game that went to overtime. The Bearcats got the ball first, starting at the UND 25-yard line per NCAA rules. Faced with a third down and 11 to go, the Bearcats called a timeout. After conferring on the sidelines, quarterback Travis Miles hit Tony Miles on a 10yard pass and on fourth and one, Tucker Woolsey ran for two yards and a first down on the UND 14-yard line. Jansen then rushed for 11 yards to the threeyard line and on third and goal from the one, Jansen ran it in, and Purnell’s extra point made it 20-13. UND got the ball next, but on a fourth and eight play from the Northwest Missouri State 23-yard line, Sioux quarterback Tony Stein’s pass to Mike Juhasz was incomplete, ending UND’s season. NOTES: UND sophomore Jed Perkerewicz ran for 141 yards on 30 carries, and Jansen ran for 115 yards on 24 carries for Northwest Missouri State.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND quarterback Kelby Klosterman tied an NCAA Division II playoff record by throwing six touchdown passes–four to Sioux wide receiver Jesse Smith–to lead North Dakota to a 42-28 win over Winona State in the first round of the NCAA Division II Football Championship playoffs. The Sioux (11-1) advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals and will play host to Pittsburg (Kan.) State (11-1). Winona State finished its season with a 10-2 record. Klosterman’s six TD passes tied the NCAA Division II single-game playoff record set by Portland State’s Darren Del’Andrae in a threeovertime game in 1989 and equaled by UC Davis’s J.T. O’Sullivan in 2000. Smith, who caught six passes for 133 yards, tied an NCAA Division II single-game playoff record with his four touchdown receptions. That mark has been achieved three times previously. It was first reached by Lehigh’s Steve Kreider in 1977, and later accomplished by West Chester’s Scott Asman in a three-overtime game in 1989 and West Chester’s Brian Penacale in 1994. UND took the opening kickoff and drove for a touchdown with a 12-play, 77-yard drive. The drive was capped by a 10-yard Klosterman touchdown pass to tight end John Kyvig. Klosterman then threw a 2-yard TD pass to Kyvig that made it 14-0 with 3:22 to play in the quarter. Winona State scored its first touchdown on a one-yard run by quarterback Bruce Carpenter, but a 19-yard touchdown pass from Klosterman to Smith upped UND’s lead to 21-7 with 3:26 to play in the half. Winona State responded with a nine-play, 74yard drive capped by a five-yard touchdown pass from Carpenter to Adam Lilla with 21 seconds to play in the half, making it 21-14 at halftime. UND extended its lead to 28-14 with 5:35 to play in the third when Klosterman threw a 16-yard touchdown to Smith, but the Warriors narrowed the score to 28-21 when Carpenter hit Lilla on a 64-yard touchdown pass with 4:17 left in the third. Less than two minutes later, Klosterman threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Smith with 2:49 to play in the quarter, making it 35-21, and the duo connected one more time to conclude UND’s scoring. Winona State closed the scoring on a 2-yard touchdown pass from Carpenter to Lilla with 26 seconds to play. NOTES: UND gained a season-high 508 yards of total offense in the game ... Winona State linebacker Jake Tietje led all players with 13 tackles (12 solo). UND’s Eric Schmidt had seven solo tackles and five pass breakups ... UND’s 42 points was the highest total ever recorded by the Sioux in 16 playoff games ... Perkerewicz’s 100yard game was the 12th of his career (second in the playoffs) ... Klosterman’s 27 completions was a career high ... Klosterman’s six touchdown passes is a UND playoff record and matched the Sioux regular season single-game mark that was set by Corey Colehour in 1966 ... Kyvig’s twotouchdown game was the first of his career.

Quarterfinals, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The UND defense held Pittsburg (Kan.) State to –19 rushing yards and 134 yards of total offense and defeated the Gorillas, 38-0, to advance to the NCAA semifinals against UC Davis. It will be the third NCAA semifinal appearance for North Dakota (12-1), which also made it to the semifinals in 1993 and 1994. Pittsburg State finished its season 11-2 overall after being shut out for the first time in 217 games dating back to Nov. 6, 1982, when the Gorillas lost, 13-0, at Nebraska-Kearney. It was Pitt State’s worst loss since Sept. 14, 1984, when the Gorillas lost, 62-14, at Missouri-Rolla. It was UND’s first shutout of the season and firstever postseason shutout in 17 postseason games, and it was the largest-ever margin of victory for the Sioux in the postseason, surpassing UND’s 33-point win over MSU, Mankato in 1993. UND got its first score with 21 seconds to play in the first quarter when Kelby Klosterman connected with wide receiver Dan Graf on a 16yard fade pass in the end zone to cap off a sevenplay, 85-yard drive. The Sioux extended their lead to 13-0 with 6:44 to play in the half on a 47-yard touchdown pass from Klosterman to wide receiver Jesse Smith on a deep post route. UND’s next touchdown came on one of the most memorable plays of the season. Facing a 1stand-15 from the UND 38-yard line, Klosterman found tight end Chad Mustard open on a sideline pass designed to gain about 15 yards. Mustard, however, broke several tackles while managing to stay in bounds, and he took it all the way to the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown play with 1:56 to play in the half. Moments later, UND had a 4th-and-5 at Pitt State’s 42-yard line. North Dakota Head Coach Dale Lennon sent kicker Cameron Peterka in for a field goal attempt, and with 28 seconds to play in the half Peterka made a 59-yard field goal that is an NCAA playoff record for any division (I-AA, II or III). It was Peterka’s 11th career field goal of 50 or more yards and seventh in 2001. The previous long field goal in an NCAA Division II playoff game was 50 yards by Troy State’s Ted Clem against North Dakota State on Dec. 8, 1984. The previous long field goal in any playoff game was 56 yards by Nevada’s Tony Zendejas against Idaho State on Nov. 26, 1983. The field goal tied Peterka’s career long, as he also kicked a 59-yarder at St. Cloud State on Nov. 4, 2000. In the third quarter, UND extended its lead to 26-0 on a 25-yard field goal by Peterka with 8:55 to play. Later in the third quarter, a snap on a punt attempt went over Lutz’s head into the end zone, and Lutz recovered but ran out of the end zone for a safety that made it 28-0 with 58 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Peterka kicked a 33-yard field goal with 14:49 to play in the fourth quarter and UND running back Aaron Schwenzfeier closed out the scoring with a four-yard run with 8:13 to play. Defensively, UND was led by inside linebacker Travis O’Neel,who had a game-high 10 tackles (seven solo), including four for losses of 17 yards.

semifinals, ncaa dii playoffs

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – UND quarterback Kelby Klosterman threw two touchdown passes to Dan Graf, and Sioux running back Jed Perkerewicz rushed for 101 yards on 20 carries to lead North Dakota to a 14-2 win over UC Davis in the NCAA semifinals. Perkerewicz’s 100-yard game was his second of this year’s playoffs, and third 100-yard rushing game in four career playoff games. The win earned UND (13-1) a berth in the NCAA Division II national championship against Grand Valley (Mich.) State (13-0). Grand Valley State advanced to the title game by beating Catawba 34-16. UC Davis finished its season with a 10-3 record. The keys for UND in beating UC Davis were a ball-control offense, a defense that came up with big plays at crucial times and a vocal hometown crowd of 11,696. UC Davis was penalized 12 times for 84 yards, including seven illegal procedure penalties. The only score of the first half came when Klosterman found Graf open on a 25-yard touchdown pass with 3:39 to play in the second quarter. The Klosterman-Graf duo connected again on a 12-yard scoring pass with 10:26 to play in the third quarter to make it 14-0, UND. UC Davis got its only points on a safety with 30 seconds to play in the game. The Sioux were facing 4th-and-12 from their own 3-yard line, and UND head coach Dale Lennon decided to have Klosterman down the ball in the end zone, conceding two points to the Aggies. After the free kick, UC Davis drove to the Sioux 30-yard line, but UND defensive end Eric Halverson sacked UC Davis quarterback J.T. O’Sullivan to end the game. Although the Aggies had more total offense (376 yards) than the Sioux (308 yards)—UC Davis was the first team to outgain UND in total offense in a game this season—North Dakota controlled the clock for 31:59, while UC Davis was on offense for 28:01. UC Davis showed why it had the nation’s fourthranked offense in the regular season. The Aggies gained 376 total yards (327 passing, 49 rushing) against the Sioux defense, which finished the regular season ranked third nationally in total defense. It was the most yardage gained all season against UND, surpassing the previous opponent high of 339 by Winona State on Nov. 17 in the first round of the playoffs. UC Davis advanced past midfield seven times in 11 offensive possessions, and got to UND’s 10yard line or closer on four possessions. On each occasion, however, the Sioux defense came up with a big play. In the first half, on a 3rd-and-goal from the UND 7, O’Sullivan’s pass was intercepted by UND cornerback Dustin Thornburg in the end zone. It was one of two interceptions by Thornburg, who also broke up two other passes. At the end of the half, UC Davis advanced to the UND 10-yard line, but missed a field goal attempt from there. UC Davis’s best scoring chance of the second half came on its opening drive of the fourth quarter. The Aggies advanced to the Sioux 3-yard line, but were stopped four times from there, allowing UND to take over on

NCAA division ii championship

Strong safety Mike O’Neil intercepted two passes against Grand Valley State. FLORENCE, Ala. – UND running back Jed Perkerewicz’s one-yard touchdown run with 29 seconds remaining lifted North Dakota a 17-14 win over Grand Valley (Mich.) State in the NCAA Division II title game, giving UND its first-ever national championship in 105 years of football. Perkerewicz’s winning touchdown run capped a nine-play, 80-yard drive during which UND converted two fourth downs. The biggest of those was a 58-yard pass from Kelby Klosterman to Luke Schleusner on 4th-and-4 from the UND 41-yard line. On the play Schleusner ran what UND coaches call a “stick route,” running six yards downfield before cutting to the middle of the field. The play was designed to simply get enough yards for the first down, but Schleusner broke a tackle, got a key downfield block from Jesse Smith and cut to the far sideline before being brought down by the Lakers’ Dustin Cole at the one-yard line. Perkerewicz scored on the next play to give UND the lead. The Sioux’s game-winning drive began from UND’s 20-yard line after Grand Valley State had taken a 14-10 lead with 2:46 to play on a 12-yard touchdown run by quarterback Ryan Brady. Klosterman’s first two passes were incomplete, and then he scrambled for eight yards, making it 4th-and-2 at the UND 28-yard line. Klosterman converted the fourth down with a quarterback sweep around left end for seven yards. Next was a six-yard pass to Perkerewicz to make it 2nd-and-4 at UND’s 41. Klosterman threw an incompletion on second down, and on third down was nearly sacked but got back to the line of scrimmage, setting up the fourth-down pass to Schleusner. Grand Valley State led 7-3 after one quarter and the second and third quarters were scoreless. UND held off the Lakers on one third quarter drive when Sioux cornerback Craig Riendeau blocked a 20-yard Kevin Sonntag field goal attempt with 8:50 to play in the third quarter. UND grabbed a 10-7 lead early in the fourth quarter when Klosterman scored on a nine-yard bootleg run around the left side after a fake handoff and fake reverse. Grand Valley regained the lead, 14-10, on Brady’s run with 2:46 to play. The game was played in 63-degree temperatures, light rain and southwest wind blowing at 9 miles per hour. UND won the coin toss and elected to receive the opening kickoff. The Sioux capitalized on their game-opening drive with a 36-yard field goal by Cameron Peterka. The field goal capped a 10-play, 56-yard drive

highlighted by a 27-yard pass from Klosterman to Graf on UND’s second play from scrimmage. The Sioux forced Grand Valley State to punt on its first possession, and had a chance to extend its lead, but Peterka was wide left on a 47-yard field goal attempt. The Lakers followed that with a 10-play, 70-yard drive that concluded with a two-yard touchdown run by Grand Valley State quarterback Ryan Brady. It was only the fourth rushing touchdown allowed by UND all season. The Sioux were forced to punt on their next possession, but got the ball back when UND strong safety Mike O’Neil intercepted a Todd Wojciechowski pass and returned it to the Grand Valley State 33-yard line. UND advanced to the Lakers’ 10-yard line, but on fourth down Peterka’s 38-yard field goal came up short. The UND defense came up with another big play in the second quarter when O’Neil intercepted a Wojciechowski pass at the Sioux 12-yard line and returned it 44 yards to the UND 49-yard line. The Sioux moved to the 11-yard line, but the Grand Valley State defense stiffened, and Peterka’s 36-yard field goal was wide left. rand Valley State outgained UND 169-157 G in the first half, but the Sioux had an edge in time of possession, controlling the ball for 17:50, while the Lakers had it for 12:10. F or the game, UND had a 326 to 299 edge in total yards and held the ball for 35:22 to 24:38 for Grand Valley State. The Sioux gained 187 yards rushing and 139 passing. erkerewicz had 96 yards on 26 carries for North Dakota, while Klosterman P rushed 18 times for 61 yards. Klosterman completed eight of 27 passes for 139 yards. Schleusner caught three passes for 76 yards and Graf caught three balls for 41 yards. Grand Valley State’s Ryan Brady had 83 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 15 carries, while the Lakers’ Reggie Spearmon had 52 yards on seven carries. Todd Wojciechowski completed 11 of 22 passes for 128 yards and two interceptions. iendeau, linebacker Josh Kotelnicki and defensive end Ben Dixon each R had six tackles for UND.

“The Drive”

by Chuck Johnson

rospects hardly could have been dimmer for the University of North P Dakota football team. T he lights at Braly Municipal Stadium had been on since before noon, the rain varied between a mist and a drizzle, and the Sioux were on their own 20-yard line with 2 minutes 42 seconds to go. Grand Valley State University of Michigan had just scored a touchdown to take a 1410 lead. T he national championship of Division II football in the National Collegiate Athletic Association seemed beyond UND’s grasp. The Sioux offense was not noted for the quick strike. Rather, it was grind it out and hang your hat on the defense. s the sand in the hourglass trickled through, ever filling the lower A portion, UND tried to put together a drive. It was not easy, and it was not pretty. F rom the 20 after a touchback on the kickoff, UND quarterback Kelby Klosterman threw two passes that fell incomplete, one intended for wide receiver Dan Graf, the other for wide receiver Jesse Smith. On third and 10, Klosterman could not find a receiver, so he ran for eight yards. Timeout: 2 minutes 10 seconds left. Fourth and two. Chris Mussman, the UND offensive coordinator, up in the press box, called Klosterman’s number again. Seven yards around left end. First down on the 35. Clock stopped momentarily (first down). ext, Klosterman passed to tailback Jed Perkerewicz for six yards, then N threw incomplete to wide receiver Luke Schleusner, stopping the clock. Again, Klosterman found his receivers covered, and he ran for no gain. Timeout: 1 minute to go. Sioux still in Dakota Territory, on own 41, fourth and four. I n the press box, Mike Mannausau, graduate assistant working with the defensive line, implored Mussman to call the “stick route” pass play, part of the West Coast Offense. With earphones on, Mussman did not hear the advice, but called “stick route” anyway. “We hadn’t used the play for two weeks,” Mussman recalled later. “We hadn’t even run it in practice.” With Grand Valley sending everyone but the kitchen sink on a blitz to pressure the quarterback, Klosterman received excellent protection from his five down linemen and Perkerewicz and had time to pass to Schleusner over the middle. The play was designed to gain five yards, enough for the first down, but Schleusner broke free from a tackle and headed outside, toward the right sideline. Smith, with a broken nose suffered earlier in the game, crossed toward the middle and leveled a Grand Valley defender with a textbook open-field block. “All I could see was grass,” Schleusner recalled. “I’m not the fastest guy in the world, but I ran as fast as I could. When I got near the 10, it felt like I was carrying a plow, and someone caught me a yard short of the goal.” With the first down, the clock stopped with 36 seconds remaining.

UND wide receiver Luke Schleusner (center with trophy) scored on a 58-yard pass reception with less than one minute to play in the national title game.

ameron Peterka kicked the extra point, and UND led, 17-14, with 29 C seconds to go. T he suspense was not over. Brent Lesniak of Grand Valley returned Peterka’s kickoff into UND territory. Peterka met him with a crushing tackle, but it did not matter, because Grand Valley was called for an illegal block and set back to its 20. T he Lakers could proceed no farther, and on the last play, Sioux linebacker Eric Schmidt barely missed sacking the quarterback, then got back on his feet and tackled the receiver at the Grand Valley 34. ll the scoring occurred in the first and last quarters. Peterka opened A with a 36-yard field goal. T he teams then traded quarterback rushes for scores. Ryan Brady went two yards for Grand Valley, then Klosterman nine yards for UND and Brady again for 12 yards. n the play before Brady’s second touchdown to put Grand Valley ahead O with 2 minutes 46 seconds left, UND cornerback Dustin Thornburg stripped the ball from receiver David Kircus, but Kircus recovered his own fumble on the UND 12-yard line. “ They scored on the next play, so that was a big swing for them,” Sioux Coach Dale Lennon said later. “That put our backs to the wall, but we came through. It was a team victory — offense, defense, special teams. We’re all a part of it. “ And we went about our business very calmly, very professionally. There was no panic, no chaos.” The late Chuck Johnson was the editor of Sioux Sports, a quarterly publication of the UND Alumni office, Letterwinner’s Club, and athletic department. A 1948 UND graduate from Williston, N.D., Johnson was a longtime sports editor at the Milaukee Journal.

As UND lined up for the next play, it started again, but the Sioux took immediate charge. Perkerewicz followed his blockers over left tackle, and when Grand Valley’s defenders packed the middle, Perkerewicz bounced to the outside and scored untouched.

First Round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS

GRAND FORKS, N.D – Behind an opportunistic defense which took the ball away seven times, the Fighting Sioux beat Pittsburg State, 24-14, in the opening round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. Sophomore defensive back Josh Brandsted had an interception and a 14-yard fumble return for a touchdown that gave UND a lead that it would not relinquish.

The celebrations continued off-field as the North Dakota won the NCAA Division II national championship trophy after defeating Grand Valley State 17-14 on Dec. 8 in Florence, Ala. UND nabbed the win after Jed Perkerewicz took in a one-yard touchdown run with just 29 seconds left on the clock. It was the first football national championship in 105 years of North Dakota football.

Adam Roland got the Sioux on the board first after a 10-yard rush down to the one-inch line, where he would punch it in one play later, putting UND up, 7-0. That’s where the score would stay heading into halftime as four PSU drives would be snuffed out by turnovers in the first half, three by interceptions. At the break, Gorilla quarterback Neal Philpot was 2-for-15 with three interceptions. On their first possession of the second half, the Gorillas would mount thier most successful drive, going 80 yards in ten plays, keeping the ball for just over five minutes. The drive would be capped by Philpot’s one-yard run to knot the score at 7-7. The Sioux had a long drive of its own on the ensuing possession, but came up short as Jeff Glas’ field goal attempt from 36 yards was wide left. Two plays later, Brandsted scooped up a Philpot fumble and raced 14 yards for a score and a 14-7 UND lead. Philpot would fumble again on the next Gorilla drive, leading to a 37-yard field goal by Glas to put UND up 17-7. Philpot, an All-MIAA quarterback, was not the force that led the Gorillas all season as he netted just 269 yards of total offense with four interceptions and one lost fumble. Philpot did, however, lead the Gorillas on another 80-yard drive ending in a 9-yard strike to Tim Austin to close the gap to 17-14. But the Sioux backfield keyed a 78-yard drive on the next possession, ending in a 11-yard touchdown pass from Joe Wilson to Dan Grossman to put UND back up by ten, 24-14. Pittsburg State would use completions of 12, 11 and 21 yards to get back in Sioux territory but a fumble by Austin thwarted that opportunity as the Sioux took over at their own 30-yardline. PSU was able to force a three-and-out on the Sioux drive, giving one last opportunity for the Gorillas to inch closer.

The Sioux defense had easily its best day in terms of takeaways, jumping on three fumbles and picking off four passes. The previous high for takeaways in a game this season was three (two INTs, one fumble recovery) in the season opener against Minnesota-Crookston.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Caleb Johnson’s 69 yard reception with just over a minute left set up Adam Roland’s one-yard touchdown plunge as top-seeded North Dakota erased a late fourth quarter deficit to down visiting Winona State 36-29 in the NCAA Division II quarterfinal round Saturday at Alerus Center.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Adam Roland rushed for 107 yards, while quarterback John Bowenkamp threw three touchdown passes as the University of North Dakota advanced to its second Division II title game in three years with a 29-22 triumph over North Alabama Saturday at the Alerus Center.

Johnson, who had a nine-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter, pulled in a 15-yard slant from John Bowenkamp and raced down the sidelines to the Warriors’ five. Three plays later Roland gave UND the lead with 24 seconds left with his second touchdown of the day.

The Fighting Sioux (12-1) will meet last year’s national champion, Grand Valley State, in a rematch of the 2001 championship game in Florence, Ala. next Saturday. There was no fourth quarter rally this week. Instead senior wide receiver/kick returner Travis Lueck made sure Saturday’s semifinal game would start with a bang.

The Sioux clinched the second round triumph when Jason Peterson recovered a Brian Wrobel fumble at the UND 45-yard line as time expired. It was the fifth turnover UND’s defense forced in Saturday’s contest and possibly the biggest. The furious last minute rally moves the Fighting Sioux (11-1) into the Division II semifinals, where they will meet North Alabama next Saturday. Times and site will be determined later this week. After taking a 28-7 into the half, UND watched Winona State put together a second half rally to take a one-point lead with 1:52 remaining in the fourth quarter. Warrior tailback Bounthavy Khamratthanome hit Chris Samp with a 19-yard touchdown on a halfback pass play to give the Warriors their first lead of the game. Winona State outgained the Sioux 406-365, but fell victim to five turnovers – three fumbles and two interceptions – and a slow start. The Fighting Sioux scored on four consecutive possessions in the second quarter, including a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown by Travis Lueck, to build a 21-point lead before the half. It was the most points the Sioux have scored in a quarter this year since dropping 42 on Minnesota-Crookston in the second quarter of the season’s opening game. Johnson and Willis Stattleman caught touchdowns of nine and 19 yards, respectively from Joe Wilson in the 28-point period. The Sioux will host South Region champion North Alabama next Saturday in the NCAA Division II Semifinals. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. at the Alerus Center.

Another long punt return by Lueck helped set up a 27-yard field goal by Jeff Glas to put the Sioux up 9-0 midway through the first quarter. Following a Lions’ field goal, Bowenkamp threw his second touchdown pass of the day on a fiveyard pattern to David Wisthoff as the Sioux built a 19-3 edge heading into the fourth quarter. The defense held North Alabama to just eight yards rushing, the Lion’s worst total this season, and intercepted Harlon Hill candidate Will Hall twice in the second half. Ryan Manke’s fourth quarter pick helped the Sioux put the game away early in the final period. The junior corner back’s interception set up Bowenkamp’s third TD of the game, a 15-yarder to Matt Vanderpan on a fake field goal play with 7:49 remaining. It was the senior tight end’s second catch of the season and the second touchdown of his career. Bowenkamp has now thrown three touchdowns or more six times in his career.

First round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — University of North Dakota junior place kicker Jeff Glas booted a 32-yard field goal in the second overtime to give UND a 20-17 win over St. Cloud State University in a first round game of the NCAA Division II football playoffs Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium.

BDespite outgaining Grand Valley State by 125 yards in the second half, North Dakota fell to the Lakers 10-3 Saturday in the Division II national championship game. Quarterback John Bowenkamp led the Sioux on two 60 yard drives late in the game, but UND could only come away with three points on a 43yard Jeff Glas field goal. The junior quarterback completed 28-of-41 passes for 281 yards, while receivers Willis Stattleman and Caleb Johnson collected eight and seven catches respectively.

St. Cloud State fought back in the fourth quarter to overcome a 10-0 UND lead. North Dakota, ranked 14th this week, took their opening drive of the first quarter 70 yards in 14 plays culminating with a one-yard Adam Roland run at 6:37. UND led at the half 7-0.

There was no last second victory for the Sioux this week as Bowenkamp was intercepted by Mike Hoad deep in Laker territory to seal the win. Prior to the pick, UND had driven 58 yards on 12 plays in search of the tying score. The game was a battle of the defenses as the teams mustered just a combined 257 total yards and three total points in the first half. Grand Valley got on the board first with a 7:28 drive on the game’s opening possession, driving to the one-yard line, capped by David Hendrix’s 19-yard field goal. UND followed with a threeand-out possesion, but were able to get the ball back two plays later as Tyler Dahlen scooped up a Mario Locricchi fumble giving UND good field position. A 3rd-and-19 conversion on that drive would advance the ball to the Laker 37, but the drive stalled as Jeff Glas’ 47-yard field goal try missed wide left. The teams traded punts before UND snuffedout consecutive fourth-down tries by GVSU to end two scoring threats late in the first half. The Sioux mustered just 60 yards of total offense in the opening half, including minus-two yards on the ground. Grand Valley held over a nineminute advantage in time of possession in the first half and had 14 first downs to UND’s two. UND had its most impressive drive to open the second half, marching effectively until a fumbled snap turned into a 59-yard fumble return by Lucious Harris to set up Grand Valley State’s only touchdown. Johnson led all receivers with 101 yards through the air. Adam Roland finished with 43 yards on the ground and Willis Stattelman picked up 57 receiving yards to put both over the 1,000-yard mark on the season. It marks the first time that UND has had a 1,000-yard rusher and receiver in the same season. Truly one of the most memorable seasons of UND football, the team will gather one last time for a celebration at the Alerus Center on Tuesday at 6 p.m. Head coach Dale Lennon and select players will speak and will feature a highlight video of the team’s success.

Seven plays later, SCSU junior Shawn Braunagel tied the game with a 36-yard field goal at 10:45. Glas missed a 52 yard field goal at 6:18.

HOUGHTON, Mich. — Senior quarterback John Bowenkamp came off the bench and threw two touchdown passes – including one on a fake field goal – to lead UND to a 20-3 victory over Michigan Tech in the second round of the NCAA playoffs this afternoon at Sherman Field.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Chris Belmore’s twoyard run with just under five minutes remaining powered the University of North Dakota past Grand Valley State, 19-15 in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals Saturday afternoon at Alerus Center.

Bowenkamp, who has missed much of the season due to injury, relieves starter Chris Belmore in the second quarter and engineered a touchdown drive on just his second series.

Belmore, who entered the game in the third quarter in place of John Bowenkamp, led the Fighting Sioux on two touchdown drives in the fourth quarter as UND overcame a 15-6 deficit in the final 11:29.

After a 30-yard punt return by Weston Dressler gave UND the ball inside Husky territory, Bowenkamp led the Sioux 32 yards in just four plays, finding receiver Dan Grossman on a 19yard strike. Grossman’s TD came on play after he had dropped what appeared to be a sure touchdown pass. The toss was also Bowenkamp’s first passing TD since the season opener against Delta State. That scoring drive gave UND a 10-0 halftime lead and all of the offense the Sioux would need on this day. Michigan Tech would open the second half with its most impressive drive. Featuring a heavy dose of running back and Harlon Hill finalist Lee Marana, the Huskies chewed up five and a half minutes of clock, but the drive stalled at UND’s 16-yard line when Brook Maier sacked MTU quarterback Chad Alger. Grant Botz booted a 33-yard field goal, but it would prove to be the only points for MTU against the nation’s top scoring defense. UND’s defense stiffened after that initial drive. Jason Hoffschneider picked off Alger on MTU’s next series and the Sioux forced another turnover to start the fourth quarter when the Huskies failed to convert on a fourth down gamble on their own 40. UND forced a third straight turnover when MTU punter Billy Koenig couldn’t handle a high snap and Dan Ullsperger recovered for UND at the Husky 34. But despite taking over inside MTU’s half of the field on those three consecutive possessions, the UND offense was unable to put any points on the board.

After Brandon Langston gave the Lakers a ninepoint lead with a 76-yard touchdown reception, Belmore led the Sioux on a four-play, 68-yard touchdown drive to bring the Sioux to within 15-12. BOX SCORE Score UND MTU

GRAND FORKS, N.D.—Quarterback Reed Manke and running back Chris Beatty each ran for a touchdown, Jeff Glas added three field goals and UND held Minnesota Duluth to 282 yards in total offense in a 23-12 win over the Bulldogs in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. The Fighting Sioux now advance to the second round and will travel to top-ranked Grand Valley State next Saturday.

PITTSBURG, Kan. — Top-ranked Pittsburg State scored 17 unanswered points in the second half to break open a 14-13 game and secure a 31-19 victory over 14th-ranked University of North Dakota before a sellout crowd of 9,983 fans at Brandenburg Field/Carnie Smith Stadium Saturday in the NCAA Division II national semifinals. The Gorillas (14-0) advance to the 2004 NCAA Division II National Championship game in Florence, Ala., on Dec. 11 to meet third-ranked Valdosta State University. Pitt State returns to the championship game for the first time since 1995 and the fourth time in school history (1991-92, ‘95). Senior quarterback Neal Philpot rushed for 122 yards and tossed three touchdown passes in the game, including a 12-yard scoring pass to junior tight end Brandon Twito that essentially sealed the win with 2:31 to play in the game. Philpot’s clinching pass came on 4th-and-2 at the UND 12 and the Gorillas leading 24-13. The play capped a nine-play, 63-yard drive that consumed five minutes and seven seconds of precious time off the scoreboard. The Fighting Sioux (11-3) mustered a 12-play scoring drive to make it 31-19 on Adam Roland’s 1-yard run with 43 seconds remaining, but Pitt State recovered the ensuing onside kick attempt and ran out the clock. Pitt State, which has shattered NCAA all-division records for scoring (806 points) and total offense (8,605 yards) in its magical run this season, took some time to get itself untracked against a North Dakota defensive unit that entered the game leading Division II in point allowed (10.8 ppg). UND got on the board first when Roland capped a short drive with a 12-yard run with 5:40 to play in the first quarter. Pitt State countered to knot the score with 4 seconds to play in the initial period when Philpot tossed an 8-yard TD pass to Jermaine Carpenter. The Fighting Sioux rebounded to take a 10-7 lead of Jeff Glas’ 30-yard field goal at the 9:17 mark of the second quarter, but Philpot and sophomore running back Germaine Race promptly led the Gorillas down the field, moving back in front, 14-10, on Race’s 3-yard run with 6:38 remaining in the half. Race finished the game with a game-high 19 carries for 158 yards for Pitt State, which compiled 304 total rushing yards in the game on 46 carries. The Fighting Sioux scored again on their opening possession of the second half, trimming PSU’s lead to 14-13 on a 32-yard field goal by Glas.

UND used a ball-control offense to amass 229 rushing yards and counter the prolific Minnesota Duluth passing attack. UMD quarterback Ted Schlafke passed 64 times to tie an NCAA Division II postseason record, completing 34 of them, but was only able to find the end zone once, that being a 26-yard pass to Ross Schumacher early in the second quarter that turned a 10-0 UND lead into a 10-6 game. The Sioux defense yielded just a pair of Britt Baumann field goals the rest of the way – a 35-yarder midway through the third quarter and a 20-yarder with 10:32 left in regulation.

UND’s rushing attack was led by Beatty, who carried 31 times for 113 yards, and whose threeyard touchdown run on the first play of the second quarter staked the Sioux to a 10-0 lead. The Schlafke-to-Schumacher touchdown connection capped a 13-play, 80-yard drive on the ensuing possession. But the Sioux were able to counter with an 11-play, 59-yard scoring drive of their own on the next series. A seven-yard run by receiver Weston Dressler gave UND the ball at the two-yard line and Manke finished off the drive on the next play with a two-yard TD plunge, giving the Sioux a 17-6 going into halftime. UND’s offense sputtered to start the second half with its first three drives ending with a punt and two fumbles, but the Sioux defense held, allowing just a Baumann field goal with 7:51 left in the quarter. The Sioux added to their lead early in the fourth quarter, when Glas nailed a 37-yarder with 14:07 left on the clock to give UND a 20-9.

second round, ncaa dii playoffs

First round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS

ALLENDALE, Mich.—Quarterback Cullen Finnerty threw a pair of second-quarter touchdown passes to lead Grand Valley State to a 17-3 win over the Fighting Sioux in the second round of the NCAA playoffs this afternoon at Lubbers Stadium.

GRAND FORKS – Today’s day was Ryan Chappell’s. The freshman running back, playing in his first career NCAA playoff game, ran for 235 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 14.7 yards per attempt. In the process he broke a number of UND records.

The loss ends UND’s season at 10-3, while the Lakers now advance to next week’s Northwest Region final against Saginaw Valley State.

Today’s game was also about the offensive line, who not only opened up a number of holes that got Chappell started, but controlled the tempo of UND’s 42-0 victory over Winona State in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The Sioux ended with 404 rushing yards and 595 total yards, the best offensive production all season.

Finnerty’s two touchdown passes came fourand-a-half minutes apart and provided the difference in a struggle between two of the top defensive teams in Division II football. It wasn’t until nearly five minutes had elapsed in the second quarter when the Lakers finally broke a scoreless deadlock on a broken play. Finnerty escaped the grasp of UND linebacker Zachariah Babington-Johnson and found tight end Jeremy Cochrane wide open at the Sioux 10 and Cochrane took it to the end zone untouched, giving the Lakers a 7-0 lead 4:22 into the second quarter. GVSU hit paydirt again on their next possession, as Finnerty connected with wide receiver Antione Trent for a 26-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 6:08 remaining in the half. The Sioux responded with their best drive of the half, marching to the GVSU 38. But running back Brandon Brady was hit at the 35 by linebacker Anthony Adams and the ball popped right into the arms of Laker defensive end Michael McFadden and GVSU took over at midfield. The turnover helped the Lakers preserve their 14-point lead heading into halftime. The Lakers had an opportunity to add to the lead on their first possession of the second half, but Greene missed a 48-yard field goal attempt wide left. Greene redeemed himself on the following possession, however, nailing a 50-yarder despite another low snap to give the Lakers a 17-0 lead with 5:01 left in the third quarter. UND finally broke the shutout when Jeff Glas capped a 15-play, 70-yard scoring drive with a 29-yard field goal, making it 17-3 with 10:05 left in the fourth quarter. Needing a defensive stop, the Sioux defense held on the next drive and the offense quickly put together what appeared to be another scoring drive with under five minutes remaining, but Reed Manke was sacked and lost the ball, and GVSU’s Dan Skuta recovered at his own 38 with 4:13 showing in the clock. But the Sioux defense would not budge and held once again, giving UND a final attempt to pull to within seven. Manke marched the Sioux to the four-yard line, but was forced from the game after an incompletion on second down. Chris Belmore came on in relief, but a sack and an incompletion later another Sioux drive was snuffed out with just under two minutes left in the game. Manke finished 26-of-41 for 268 yards, connecting with senior receiver Dan Grossman 12 times for 117 yards. Those 12 catches allowed Grossman to surpass Dan Graf as the team’s alltime receptions leader with 159. Brady finished as the game’s top rusher with 47 yards on 11 carries.

The Sioux held the Lakers, who had been averaging 225 rushing yards per game, to just 41 yards on 37 carries. Notes: Anderson made four solo tackles (14 total), giving him 229 in his career, the fourthmost in Division II history ... Glas’ field goal gave him 420 career points, the second-highest total by a kicker in college football history (all divisions). Glas set five Division II and 12 UND records this season ... Sophomore receiver Weston Dressler set a UND single-season record with 1,915 all-purpose yards. Former running back Shannon Burnell previously held the mark of 1,861 yards, which he set in 1993.

Chappell got the Sioux rolling on UND’s first possession of the game. After a Mike Salerno punt backed the Sioux to the 21-yard line, Chappell had a big hole and ran for 56 yards on UND’s first play. One play later Chappell rounded the left side of the offensive line and ran 23 yards for a touchdown. Stopped by a Reed Manke interception and a Lee Groeschl fumble, UND stalled on the next two drives. But Chappell got things going for Sioux again early in the second quarter. On a second-and-fourth from the Winona 24-yard line, Chappell rushed for 16 yards. Manke connected with Chappell for a one-yard reception on the next play, but a facemask penalty was called, giving the Sioux a first down from the three. Chappell scored his second touchdown on the next play, giving the Sioux a 14-0 lead with 13:18 remaining the second quarter. The Sioux defense held Winona scoreless on its next possession, an 11-play, 45-yard effort, which led to Chappell’s next touchdown. Chappell ran for 3, 16, 7 and 21 yards. The final effort went for the score. Chappell’s fourth touchdown was probably the prettiest. Chappell was surrounded at the line of scrimmage, but broke through and weaved his way through a number of defenders for the score. That touchdown gave the Sioux a 28-0 with 1:18 remaining in the second quarter. The Sioux led 28-0 at half, but Chappell quickly added to UND’s total. Once again on the second play of the half, Chappell found the end zone. This time Chappell went for 64 yards. He broke the line of scrimmage and outran the defense.

second round, ncaa dii playoffs

ALLENDALE, Mich.—For the second straight season, North Dakota’s bid for an NCAA Division II football championship has ended with a loss at Grand Valley State. The top-ranked Lakers used 27 first-quarter points to upend the eighthranked Sioux 30-20 this afternoon at Lubbers Stadium in the NCAA quarterfinal. Grand Valley’s first-quarter explosion proved to be too big a hole for the Sioux to climb out of, although UND made a spirited push by scoring 20 of the game’s final 23 points.

OMAHA, Neb.—Freshman kicker Brandon Hellevang booted a 26-yard field goal with 2:45 remaining and the Sioux defense held NebraskaOmaha to -8 yards on its final offensive possession as the Fighting Sioux defeated the Mavericks 38-35 this afternoon in NCAA second round action. UND’s defensive stand that set up Hellevang’s game-winning kick came after UNO’s offense scored touchdowns on five of its six full possessions through three quarters. The Mavericks were driving again midway through the fourth quarter until Sioux defenisve back Rory Manke (So., Detroit Lakes, Minn.) intercepted a Zach Miller pass at the UND 32. That put the ball in the hands of the elder Manke, Sioux senior quarterback Reed Manke, who cooly marched the Sioux 42 yards, chipping five and a half minutes off the clock, to put Hellevang in position. The Sioux defense held on UNO’s final possession, giving UND its only two defensive stops when it mattered most. Those defensive stands were a stark contrast from the first three quarters of the game, when the two offenses punched and counter-punched throughout. Even the first play of the game was symbollic of the offensive fireworks that were to come. UND won the coin toss and elected to receive, and junior Weston Dressler (Bismarck, N.D.) dashed his way 66 yards into Maverick territory. UND capped off the opening drive with a Manke-to-Blair Grover (So., Mequon, Wis.) two-yard touchdown. But as the would throughout the day, NebraskaOmaha came right back with an answer to UND’s points. Miller scored his first of four rushing touchdowns on the day, running off tackle right for a one-yad touchdown on the very next series. UND’s Will Kusler (Sr., Kulm, N.D.) blocked the extra point attempt and the Sioux held a 7-6 lead. On UND’s second offensive series, Manke engineered a seven-play, 54-yard drive that ended with a six-yard rushing touchdown by Dressler, the first of his career along the ground. Trailing 14-6, Miller and the Maverick offense went to work and the junior QB made it 14-13 game with a dazzling 14-yard scoring scamper on a broken play. The Mavericks grabbed their first – and only – lead of the game early in the second quarter, when UNO running back Nate Wurth busted a tackle and raced up the sideline for a 54-yard scoring run to make it 20-14 Mavs. This time the Sioux were forced to answer and they did. UND moved the ball 80 yards on nine plays, the last 39 of which were covered by a Manke-to-Brady Trenbeath (Jr., Cavalier, N.D.) pass and run over the middle and UND regained the lead at 21-20. UNO looked poised to take the lead late in the first half, but Andrew McCawley’s 39-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Steve Brennan (Sr., West Fargo, N.D.). Ten plays and 78 yards later, it was Manke to Dressler for a 19-yard scoring strike with 50.3 seconds left in the half and UND took a 28-20 lead into the locker room.

When GVSU senior quarterback and Harlon Hill Trophy finalist Cullen Finnerty hit Terry Mitchell in the end zone from 20 yards on the Lakers’ third offensive play, it kick-started a scoring run that had the Sioux trailing 27-0 late in the first qurter. On the Lakers’ second possession, Finnerty found receiver Eric Fowler in the back corner of the end zone and GVSU led 14-0 midway through the opening quarter.

The Lakers struck again, this time on UND’s next possession, when linebacker Anthony Adams stripped Sioux quarterback Reed Manke of the ball, and picked up and scampered untouched for a 28-yard touchdown. Then less than four minutes later Finnerty again connected with Fowler, who made a spectacular, one-handed diving catch in the end zone for a four-yard score. The extra point missed, but the Lakers owned a commanding 27-0 lead with 1:40 remaining in the quarter. UND’s offense did begin to click in the second quarter, and the Sioux finally got on the board five minutes in when Manke hit freshman receiver Brady Trenbeath over the middle, and Trenbeath broke several tackles on his way to a 46-yard touchdown. The Sioux appeared to be on the verge of making it a two-score game late in the first half, driving deep into Laker territory. But freshman running back Ryan Chappell coughed up the ball at the GVSU five-yard line, allowing the Lakers to hold on to their 27-7 lead going into the locker room. UND did eventually make it a 27-14 game when Brandon Brady hit paydirt on a one-yard scoring plunge with seven seconds left in the third quarter.

First round, ncaa dii playoffs

GRAND FORKS, N.D.--For the fifth consecutive season – and sixth time in seven years – the Fighting Sioux football team has a postseason date with two-time defending national champion Grand Valley State.

UND appeared to have stretched the lead to 14-0 on their next possession, but penalties resulted in the Sioux having a touchdown called back twice in the span of three plays. First, Chappell had a 25yard scoring run nullified by an illegal shift penalty on the Sioux, then freshman Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis.) had a 20-yard touchdown run wiped out by a holding call. The Sioux eventually settled for a 41yard Brandon Hellevang (So., Fargo, N.D.) field goal to lead 1-0 after the first quarter. Hellevang added a 19-yard boot four minutes into the second quarter, then Chappell found the end zone for the second time on UND’s next possession, rattling off a 17-yard touchdown to make it 20-0 Sioux with 6:46 remaining. The Warriors finally got on the scoreboard late in the half, albeit in a rather unconventional manner. Facing 3rd-and-long from his own 1-yard line, Sioux quarterback Danny Freund (Kenosha, Wis.) inadvertently threw a pass at one of his offensive lineman while escaping pressure, resulting in an intentional grounding penalty and a safety for the Warriors. Those would be the only points on the day for the Warriors, who came into the game averaging 480 yards of total offense per game. Senior receiver Weston Dressler (Bismarck, N.D.), Freund and freshman Steven Battle (Amesbury, Mass.) each found the end zone along the ground in the second half, and Hellevang added his third field goal from 24 yards. After Chappell’s standout first half, it was the freshman Battle who took a bow in the game’s final 30 minutes, finishing the day with 80 yards on 19 carries, including the first touchdown of his career. Notes: UND is now 10-0 all-time in playoff games at the Alerus Center ... The victory was the 90th at UND for head coach Dale Lennon, tying him with predecessor and current NCC commissioner Roger Thomas as the winningest coach in Sioux history ... Chappell has set a UND single-season

Second Round, NCAA dii PLAYOFFS

UND’s storied run at the Division II level, one that spanned more than a century of football, came to an end this afternoon with a 21-14 NCAA second round playoff loss at top-ranked and two-time defending national champion Grand Valley State. The win was the 39th row for the Lakers, who have won four of the last five Division II titles. It did not come without a fight from the seventh-ranked Sioux, who were hit hard by injuries to key players, both prior to and during the game.

The third-seeded Sioux will now travel to Allendale, Mich., to face No. 2 seed and top-ranked Grand Valley State next Saturday, marking the third straight year UND will face the Lakers at Lubbers Stadium. The year’s Sioux squad advanced to the second round with a potent ground game and a stingy defense. UND racked up 298 yards rushing, while limiting the Warriors to 28 yards on the ground and just 236 yards of total offense.

Chappell’s first score – an eight yard scamper on UND’s opening possession – capped off an efficient 65-yard drive in which all five Sioux plays resulted in a first down.

November 24, 2007 • Lubbers Stadium • Allendale, Mich.

ALLENDALE, Mich.--The Fighting Sioux have played their final NCAA Division II football game.

UND got rushing touchdowns from four different players while the Sioux defense held Winona State’s high-powered offense off of the scoreboard in a 44-2 win over the Warriors this afternoon in the first round of the NCAA postseason.

Sioux sophomore running back Ryan Chappell (Grand Forks), who ran for a UND playoff record 265 yards and five touchdowns against WSU a year ago in the playoffs, followed a similar script today. Chappell carried 19 times for 176 yards and two touchdowns, with both touchdowns coming in the first half when he rattled off 143 yards on 14 carries.

record with 2,172 yards, breaking the record that was set in each of the last two seasons by teammate Dressler ... Chappell’s 1,632 rushing yards this season are the third-most in UND single-season history, topped only by Phillip Moore (1,771 in 1997 and 1,722 in 1998) ... In two career games against Winona State, Chappell has rushed 35 times for 441 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 12.6 yards per carry ... The Sioux were 8-for-8 in the red zone while the Warriors were held scoreless in two trips.

The Lakers built a 14-0 halftime lead while limiting UND’s high powered offense to just 83 yards and five first downs in the first half. Then, in the third quarter, UND senior punter Brent Halfmann (Stephen, Minn.) was unable to corral a low snap and had his punt attempt blocked, giving the Lakers the ball at the Sioux 22-yard line. One player later, GVSU quarterback Brad Iciek lobbed a pass over the middle to Jonn Mathews and the junior tight end made a diving catch just inside the Sioux goal line to push the lead to 20-0. GVSU kicker Todd Carter missed the extra point attempt, but a personal foul call against the Sioux gave Carter another chance, and he made good on the second try to make it a 21-0 Laker lead. But then the Sioux began to rally against long odds for the second straight year at Lubbers Stadium. After a poor Grand Valley punt gave UND the ball at the Laker 39-yard line, the Sioux began benefitting from some breaks. On the first play of the drive, freshman quarterback Jake Landry (Grand Forks), playing in relief of injured starter Danny Freund (Jr., Kenosha, Wis.), fired a rocket over the middle that bounced off of the hands of Laker free safety Jacob McGuckin at his own 15-yard line. The ball ricocheted in the air behind McGuckin, were UND senior receiver Weston Dressler (Bismarck, N.D.) calmly hauled it in at the 10 and raced the rest of the way to the end zone. Sophomore kicker Brandon Hellevang (Fargo, N.D.) had his extra point attempt blocked – his first miss in 106 attempts – but the Sioux were on the board at 21-6 with 7:27 left in the third quarter. With Grand Valley State going for it on 4th-and-1 from the Sioux 41, sophomore linebacker Bobby Stroup (Fargo, N.D.) burst through the line and stopped Lakers’ running back Blake Smolen for a loss of two, turning the ball over to the Sioux offense at their own 43 late in the quarter.

Landry finished the game 8-for-12 for 110 yards and the But that same 21-14 count would still be on the stadium touchdown to Dressler, who finished with five catches for clock 15 minutes later, despite a handful opportunities 94 yards. Freund completed 9-of-17 passes for 66 yards before leaving the game. for the Sioux to tie the game. UND’s best chance to pull even came after a James Berezik fumble inside Laker territory that was recovered by Stroup. But the Sioux, hindered by a holding penalty, were unable to move the ball and were forced to punt. The Lakers then strung together a 14-play, seven-minute drive that ran off all but the game’s final two minutes. GVSU converted on two key third downs and a fourth down to keep the drive alive, then gambled on a 4thand-3 on UND’s 15 that was thwarted by a Donovan Alexander (Sr., Winnipeg, Manitoba) pass breakup. UND’s final comeback hopes were extinguished, though, when Landry was sacked by Laker All-American Anthony
