Game 5 of the Night


With WIS rankings to use, I thought the game was going to be my own over-ranked #7 Hillsdale at #5 Saint Joseph's.  But then noticed my conference teammate had an even better game.  So tonight's game in #2 Northern Michigan at #4 Winona State.

Any coach that has been part of Rockne over the past 12 seasons is well aware of Coach Spthibodeau's run of 7 straight titles and 8 out of the past 11.  His team is one of a handful with the chance to win the title this season.

Coach Azcowboy1 is in his first season at Winona State.  He is the sixth different coach in the past 11 seasons.  Although he practices all formations on offense and defense, it looks like he been playing Pro-Set and 3-4.

With both teams ranked in the top five, they are truly different.  Northern Michigan is a legitimate top five team, but Winona State is a victim of early season WIS rankings.  No upset here, Northern Michigan wins by at least 21 points.
