Before today, South Dakota had failed to score more than 17 points in any game, although their defense was quite good. After our performance today, at least now we will not take them lightly in two weeks. So UNI goes from beating Iowa State and then almost beating NDSU on the road to 0-3 and last in the conference. That was capped off by blowing a 28-7 lead to a previously anemic offensive team. Could not happen to a finer group of fans.
As perturbed as we are by our showing today, how would you like to be a Villanova fan tonight? According to the report from the Sports Network, they were tied at 21 with New Hampshire in the fourth quarter. They then scored with 1:04 left in the game, only to yield a touchdown with 14 second left. Then they allowed New Hampshire to run in the conversion. Don't know if it was a fake or happened from a regular set.
So we should be feeling better than at least two FCS contenders this evening. It just reminds us that there are worse things than an ugly win.
