This win must matter more than we think to the boys.
Both teams have rushed the Rock after every win. It is tradition.

It should also be noted, it is widely known that among NDSU and SDSU players and staffs, winning this game is a very big deal. A lot of older fans still think it is about UND and USD but to the players, the game and the rivalry is NDSU v SDSU.
