Then he came out and continued solid play in the 3rd quarter when we were down by 3 scores. We are playing a much more traditional offense with him at QB. We don't appear to be using the read-option much but mostly just letting Santa play as a pocket passer and letting the RBs do the damage on the ground.

Good post. I remember Harnish's first season. He threw a few INTs but just got better & better. Santa will too. He's got the arm & accuracy is pretty good. He will just get better.

Honestly, we were absolutely the better team last night. We stopped their star RB & held their offense so well the 3rd qtr. was almost over - a little more than just 2 min. left in the qtr. - before they even got a first down. If we had not gifted them 14 points we walk away the winners. I was impressed with NIU and unimpressed with SDSU. They weren't half as scary as some thought they would be.
