You said if a team wins they are the better team, it's absolute right. The better team in a football game lose all the time if they have an off day or freak injuries occur. Why do you think only one team has won gone undefeated and won the superbowl, all teams have a bad day know and again and will let a weaker team stay in the game when they shouldn't or even lose. UND has never had a bad game and lost to a weaker team have they? UND getting pumped by Mesa State in 2001 come to mind of a the better team losing the game.

UND didnt get pumped by anyone in 2001. In 2003, they lost to Mesa State in overtime, I believe.

Lennon:

- Played some very good football... like what he saw.

- Created momentum, three and outs for the defense.

- Youth is getting older, getting the experience, not calling them young

- Fumbled on the goal line, disapointing that we aren't taking advantage of all the opportunities

- There is some special talent (Dressler, Chappel) unselfish players, good support cast that compliments them well

- Knew Dressler was special but didn't know how special until he was here

- Nice to have a home game, Central Washington won big over Humbolt, not getting any easier.

Co-Defensive Coordinator, John someone:

- Lot of guys came through and stepped up, strength in numbers, lots of guys played tonight

- Warm night, guys getting tired, but gave it their all

- Wes Marshall would try to do things with crossing routes, throwing, and running, he ended up 14 for 31. Defense done very well against the pass, knock on wood.... putting themselves in spots to make some plays

- Manke dropped the one, but got it back on the next play

- Good pressure, haven't had to blitz a lot, makes my job easier

- Guys up front doing a great job

UND 37

SUU 10

Central Washington up next! 1:00 Saturday @ the Alerus

Tony:

Most impressed with the concern on the defensive side, #2s stepped up, essentially it was a shut out for the defense. Offensive playmakers showed up. Freund showed up... Hellavang (can't remember his name) executed... everyone executed

UND - 550 total yards tonight, 1,060 total in first two games of the season

49 carries, 314 yards rushing, Chappell with 12 carries, 138 yards, 2 TD - missed a good chunk of the middle of the game

Dressler 5 catches 79 yards, 1 TD, yardage record

Player Reactions:

Mitch Breggelman-

O-line came out got a good start, got points on first three drives. SUU played hard the whole game, we had a few breaks go our way. Felt woren down as the second half went on. Everyone was tired out there, they were as tired as we were. Elevation and heat might have affected... but we spent a lot of time on the field in the first half. After second game, the o-line does a lot of things well, but there are missed assignments/blocks, we have enough things that need to be corrected. Nice to have a large group of returners on the o-line, we all know the plays and the offense. Weston is a great player, you never know if he's gonna run it up for a touchdown... exciting to have those guys back there. Still early, lots of work left to do, but we're feeling good

Brett Helinka-

Had the game plan, played hard and stuck it to them. Still miss three starters, but the younger guys stepped up very well. Jealous of the true freshman, got to play right away... they really know what they are doing and do what's best for the team. We need to work on technique and assignments, lots of stuff on the film we'll have gotten away with, we'll go back to the film and we'll be fine. A lot of the play calling is called once they line up. We're all friends and we communicate well together, they line up and we check everything out.

Weston Dressler -

Breaks all time career receiving yards with 2,286 yards. First touchdown of the night. Corner route, Danny made great throw, good to get up early. We knew what we wanted to do and we marched down the field on the first drive. Set the tone for the rest of the game. Coaching staff does a great job getting us prepared and what to expect. We may look a step ahead, but that goes back to the coaching staff. It's special to play with these guys right now... guys making plays and comfortable on the field. Freund looks good and is playing well... he keeps improving. Nice to return a ball this time. Close on punt returns... we'll fix it and hopefully get one soon. After the year, the record will probably sink in... will think about it later. We've gotta work on the redzone, had some opportunites where we didn't score, put more scores on the board.

Convincing win for the Fighting Sioux tonight!

Dressler 1 TD

Chappel 2 TDs

Brady 1 TD

Hellavang, 23 yard FG, 56 yard FG (career best), 31 yard FG

Rory Manke 1 INT

Sioux will likely becoming #2 in the nation behind GVS... seeing something special both offensively and defensively this year.

314 yards rushing

236 yards passing

550 total

25 first downs

34 minutes TOP

Central Washington brings lots of skill players back next week... QB looks good, we're gonna need to bring in the 12th fan at the Alerus and rattle him. Our defense has some twists that hopefully he hasn't seen...

PS Doors Player of the Game

Sioux Defense, including coaches
