Winona was probably angry after their poor performance in Mankato the previous week and ended up taking out their frustration on SMSU. I caught part of the delayed telecast of Sioux Falls at Upper Iowa, and that was a surprisingly tight 7-7 defensive game at halftime. But in the 2nd half, Sioux Falls finally got some drives together and ended up winning 19-7. Sioux Falls has a good defense (has been ranked #1), and it will be a good test for the Mavs next week. However, the Sioux Falls offense doesn't seem all that impressive, considering what I saw from how their offense fared against the Upper Iowa defense compared to the Mankato offense a few weeks prior.. Something else I found interesting is how young the Mavs are. They've only got 11 seniors on the squad. Several of their key position players are sophomores or freshman: QB Schlichte, RB Gunn (injured) and WR Zylstra are all sophpomores. QB Ekowa and RB Taormina are Freshman. Assuming they continue to improve year-to-year, they could enjoy a lot of success in upcoming years.
