Then the backups, both second and third string came in the game in the second half and gave up nearly 200 but only one score.

I know other teams face this issue which is why I think conferences like the SLC need to clean house.

I think UCA would be ranked higher on defense nationally if they kept the starters in all game BUT you don't really want to get them hurt against teams you are up 6 or 7 touchdown on either. I used to love stats..but man sometimes they don't tell the whole story.

I'm pretty sure a lot of NDSU offensive yds/play stats came from the OOC cupcakes they played....
