I was impressed with Cox. He seemed to be down field quite often looking to lay another block. Also liked Grady's pancake. Looking forward to many more pancakes sealing the edge for Santiago and Smith.

Are you excited?

Yep it was a defensive victory for sure. Oline had not jelled as of yet. Bartels did make some passes the second half to get us back in the game.

Both teams have improved since last year. I think ours have improved the most. Our Oline will have to be good in both the run and pass. Our defense will have to be careful not to give up the big play. Trick plays off punts or multiple QB's in at one time.

http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/football/fcs/fcs-coaches-poll Portland St. is ranked 16th in FCS poll. received something like 286 points. North Dakota received 1 point. wow who was that genius. Time to step up and earn some respect. This is a big week and a test for the rest of the season. Go UND.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe Tucker. I haven't heard much about him and he missed some of fall camp. He in with high hopes of being a contributor.

Meindel is player of the week. http://www.bigskyconf.com/news/2015/9/28/FB_0928153553.aspx

College sports madness has Portland St at 14th http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/fcs-football/top-25-rankings

check out this computer ratings. Portland St is ranked 10th UND 35th. http://www.compughterratings.com/FCS/ratings

Depth is key. secondary and oline especially. This game is key because they are ranked, leading the Big Sky(early of course), and a road win.

Any recruits at the UC Davis game?

Ratelle is on pace to reach 100 tackle season. He is a beast.

Santiago has 331 yards through 4 games. 7 games to go.

maybe the defense will strip the ball and score a TD. Bubba ball style

This game is a very interesting match up with UND. Both rush the ball and very little passing. defense both stuff the run. however PSU has 7 interceptions in 3 games. they seem to be solid on special teams. this will be a tough road game. if we win we will be leading the big sky conference after two weeks. Who would have predicted PSU and UND leading the league after week 4. probably no one. This is turning out to be a very very interesting season in the Big Sky.

yes indeed. Go UND

good luck the rest of the season. Martin is a special player.

Special teams plays need big improvement.

Montana State 31-14

Another long drive. with Santiago picking another 50 plus yards TD with under a minute remaining.
