UND is still riding high after a convincing road win at Northern Colorado two Saturdays ago. UP NEXT The Fighting Hawks make the trek to California to take on Sacramento State on Oct. 20. The Hornets find themselves in an 0-2 start in conference play after close losses to Montana and Cal Poly. NEXT HOME GAME UND hosts Weber State on Oct. 27, a matchup with playoff implications on the line. Weber State fell from 7 to 13 in the AFCA coaches poll this week after a setback at Northern Arizona last week. LAST TIME OUT Visiting North Dakota used a methodical offense and a stifling defense to dominate Northern Colorado, 38-13, on Sep. 29 at Nottingham Field. UND, playing without star John Santiago, got big contributions from Brady Oliveira (123 yards rushing, 2TD) and James Johannesson (career-high 141 yards rushing) to record its second straight road win. That duo combined for 264 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns as the Fighting Hawks out-gained the Bears, It was textbook clock control as North Dakota held the ball for 38:51. THE SERIES VS MONTANA The Griz have won four straight in the all-time series and five of the six meetings in the Division I era. UND s last win in the series came in a crazy victory at Alerus Center that saw North Dakota s Braden Hanson pile up 660 passing yards back in 2012, which still stands as a school record POLLING PLACE The Griz find themselves 22nd in the FCS STATS poll this week and 23rd in the AFCA poll. North Dakota remains just outside the Top 25 in both polls, receiving votes in each. ON THE GROUND IN GREELEY North Dakota rushed 61 times in the win at Northern Colorado, tied for the most-ever rushing attempts by a team at Nottingham Field. UND s 351 net rushing yards ranked second all-time as the Fighting Hawks scored all five of their touchdowns on the ground, two each from Brady Oliveira and Nate Ketteringham to go along with true freshman Otis Weah s first career score. OUT OF THE WE-AH! Freshman Otis Weah got his first career touches in the blowout win at Northern Colorado on Sept. 29. The Moorhead, N.D., native rumbled for 18 yards on his first carry to get it inside the three-yardline. Then, he d push forward through both lines to find paydirt and his first collegiate score. He helped the Fighting Hawks rack up 351 net rushing yards in the win. BENNETT BEASTING Junior Mason Bennett logged another 1.5 sacks in the win at Northern Colorado to give him 6.5 for the season. That total ranks third-most in all of NCAA FCS football and marks the third game in which he s had multiple sacks already this season. LEACH HITS HIS LONGEST Freshman Brady Leach knocked through a 37-yarder in the opening drive of the win at Northern Colorado, his longest career field goal. Leach has now converted on each of his last three field goal attempts and is a perfect 16-for-16 on PAT attempts. MEDIA CONTACT: Mitch Wigness (office);

3 CADE GOES KA-BOOM Freshman punter Cade Peterson unleashed his longest punt of his career, a 50-yarder at Northern Colorado. For the day, Peterson hit five punts for 199 yards, including four of those inside the 20-yardline. FARGO FREIGHT TRAIN ON THE EXPRESS ROUTE Junior James Johannesson piled up a career high 141 yards rushing in the convincing win at Northern Colorado. Johannesson ripped off a 34-yarder to highlight a 22-carry day as UND amassed 351 total rushing yards. OLIVEIRA GOES FOR A HUNDO Brady Oliveira registered his 10th acreer 100-yard rushing game in the win at Northern Colorado. The senior rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns to give North Dakota its fifth 100-yard rusher of the season and third different person to do so (John Santiago-2, Oliveira- 2, James Johannesson- 1). SPREADING THE RESPONSIBILITY The North Dakota defense held Northern Colorado to just 201 yards of total offense. Only one defender had as many as four tackles (Austin Cieslak- 4) with six others checking in with three tackles (Tanner Palmborg, Tykeise Johnson, Hayden Blubaugh, Quentin Seguin, Jaxson Turner and Mason Bennett). A MILLION TIMES, THANK YOU! The University of North Dakota welcomed its one-millionth fan into the Alerus Center during the Homecoming game against Idaho State. In the 17 seasons since it opened in 2001, UND has seen 1,003,811 fans come through the doors at the Alerus Center, including 10,428 fans per game on average last season, the second-highest average attendance in the building s history. JAXSON TURNER OVERDRIVE Sophomore Jaxson Turner blocked his first career kick, a big fourth-quarter block that gave UND one final chance on offense in the waning minutes of the game vs. Idaho State. MOORE ENSHRINED Former UND standout runningback Phillip Moore was enshrined in the UND Athletics Hall of Fame on Sep. 21. The Grand Forks Central grad rushed for a school-record 5,697 yards in his four seasons ( ) and added 51 rushing touchdowns, also a school record that still stands. PLAYING 21 North Dakota s win at No. 5 Sam Houston State Sept. 15 snapped the nation s longest home winning streak at 21 games, handing the Bearkats their first loss at home in nearly three years (Sept. 19, 2015 to Lamar). ROAD RANKED RIGHTEOUSNESS With the win at SHSU, the Fighting Hawks also captured their first triumph against a ranked foe since Oct. 1, 2016 vs. Cal Poly and the first away from Grand Forks since Oct. 3, 2015 at Portland State. GIMME FIVE That Sept. 15 win at No. 5 Sam Houston State marked the highest-ranked opponent that North Dakota has defeated in the DI era (2008-present). UND is 7-23 against ranked opponents in its Division I era. IZZY GOT BIZZY Sophomore Izzy Adeoti finished the night with a career-high 82 yards receiving in the win at Sam Houston State. His 48-yard catch in the fourth quarter setup the game-winning score. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUBBA Saturday s win at No. 5 Sam Houston State was a fun birthday for UND head coach Bubba Schweigert as it was his 56th birthday. EVAN-ESCENCE Junior Evan Holm was part of a stiff defense at SHSU that helped produce an upset. Holm and the Fighting Hawk defense forced the Bearkats to attempt field goals rather than find paydirt on multiple occasions. Holm was credited with four pass break-ups, including several in the endzone as the Hawks held the Bearkats to its lowest scoring output at home since JOHN JUMPING UP THE CHARTS Senior John Santiago sits third all-time in rushing yardage at UND and is sixth in rushing touchdowns. Here s what s in front of him midway through his final campaign: CAREER RUSHING YARDS 1.

QUITE A DEBUT Junior transfer Nate Ketteringham made a solid debut for the Fighting Hawks, throwing for 3 TDs and 225 yards without a turnover in the 35-7 win against Mississippi Valley State.

6 METHODIC UND scored in all four quarters in the win over Mississippi Valley State. North Dakota got going quickly with a score in the first three minutes, adding another in the 1st quarter, en route to a 21-0 halftime lead. PUNTING YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES North Dakota needed just two punts the entire game in the season-opening win. UND scored on five possessions, missed two FGs, punted twice and had one turnover in addition to ending both halves with the football. OWNING THE CLOCK IN THE MIDDLE FRAMES North Dakota had the ball for over 19 minutes combined in the second and third quarters, owning the time of possession battle in the win over Mississippi Valley State. UND would finish with 33:35 of possession in the win. 3RD and CONVERTED North Dakota cashed in 10 third-down attempts vs. Mississippi Valley State on 16 attempts. In one of the six failed conversions, UND got the first on a fourth down late in the first half. WELCOME BACK CORNER The injury bug hit North Dakota pretty hard last season. UND welcomed back corners Deion Harris (missed all 11 games) and Evan Holm (7 missed) into the starting lineup after injuries a year ago. NORTH DAKOTA BY THE NUMBERS 26 Number of conference championships won by UND 58 Wins at the Division I level for UND 648 Number of all-time wins for UND ( ) 3,558 John Santiago s career rushing total (3rd all-time at UND) 6,253 Santiago s all-purpose yardage (2nd all-time at UND) 1,003,811 Total fans all-time at the Alerus Center (since 2001) UND AGAINST THE FBS North Dakota is 1-10 all-time against the FBS with the lone win coming to open the 2015 season at Wyoming. Three of those losses have come by single digits, including a 2016 one-point loss at Bowling Green. Last season, Utah became the first Power Five program UND faced since opening the 2009 season with a loss at Texas Tech. Current outside linebackers coach Joel Schwenzfeier tied a UND single-game record with three interceptions against the Red Raiders. CAPTAINS UND named five players captains for the season: seniors Tanner Palmborg and John Santiago were previously named captains with senior Austin Cieslak, senior Adam Stiner and junior Andrew Zimmerman joining them before the season s start. MAAG-A True freshman Garett Maag got into the endzone in his first game, and on his first collegiate catch, a 9-yard strike from Nate Ketteringham to give UND a 21-0 lead in the first half of the win over Mississippi Valley State on Aug. 30. FOUR-GAME REDSHIRT RULE This season, a new rule has been instituted by the NCAA Division I Council which will allow players to participate in up to four games in a season while maintaining their redshirt status starting this fall. Previously, only players who did not play a snap in a season or were sidelined by injury before playing in more than four games were generally granted redshirts by the NCAA. This rule would allow those four games to be played anywhere throughout the season, leaving some flexibility for coaching staffs around the nation. RED JARRETT WAY University of North Dakota officials announced the renaming of the road in front of the High Performance Center to be dubbed Red Jarrett Way in honor of the legendary student-athlete, coach and athletics director. Jarrett, who was enshrined in UND Athletics Hall of Fame in 1975, was named the football program s first All-American in 1930 and also excelled in basketball and track and field. He lettered three times in each of those sports and would also be the head coach of all three of those programs at various times throughout a stretch from where he served as the athletics director SCORING PLAYS vs. Mississippi Valley St (8/30) Qtr Time Plays Yds TOP Toivonen 40yd pass (Ketteringham) 1 12: :59 Ketteringham 2yd run 1 2: :35 Maag 9yd pass (Ketteringham) 2 3: :15 Fiedler 16yd pass (Ketteringham) 3 8: :28 Johannesson 7yd run 4 7: :21 at Washington (9/8) Qtr Time Plays Yds TOP Leach 20yd FG 3 6: :27 at Sam Houston State (9/15) Qtr Time Plays Yds TOP Oliveira 3yd run 1 10: :45 Leach 26yd FG 2 9: :59 Ketteringham 1yd run 2 3: :32 Wanzek 8yd pass (Ketteringham) 4 4: :23 vs. Idaho State (9/22) Qtr Time Plays Yds TOP Santiago 32yd run 1 9: :20 Toivonen 5yd pass (Ketteringham) 1 2: :23 Wanzek 46yd pass (Ketteringham) 2 3: :43 at Northern Colorado (9/29) Qtr Time Plays Yds TOP Leach 37yd FG 1st 6: :18 Ketteringham 5yd run 2nd 14: :08 Oliveira 15yd run 2nd 6: :30 Ketteringham 2yd run 2nd : :36 Oliveira 13yd run 4th 13: :01 Weah 3yd run 4th 3: : EXPLOSIVE PLAYS (plays of 25+ yards) Rushing (5) Yds Player (Opponent/Date) Result 69 Santiago (at Washington/9-8) 1st Down 34 Johannesson (at Northern Colorado/9-29) 1st Down 32 Santiago (vs. Idaho State/9-22) Touchdown 28 Ketteringham (at Washington/9-8) 1st Down 16 Oliveira (vs. Idaho State/9-22) 1st Down Receiving (5) Yds Player (Opponent/Date) Result 48 Adeoti from Ketteringham (at SHSU/9-15) 1st Down 46 Wanzek from Ketteringham (vs. Idaho State/9-22) Touchdown 44 Wanzek from Ketteringham (MVSU/8-30) 1st Down 40 Toivonen from Ketteringham (MVSU/8-30) Touchdown 28 Cloyd (vs. Idaho State/9-22) 1st Down Kickoff Returns (3) Yds Player (Opponent/Date) Result 48 Holm (vs. Idaho State/9-22) 1st Down 29 Santiago (MVSU/8-30) 1st Down 28 Santiago (at SHSU/9-15) 1st Down Punt Returns (0) Yds Player (Opponent/Date) Fumble Returns (0) Yds Player (Opponent/Date) Result Result Players Total (Types) Touchdowns (Yardage) Santiago 4 (KOR/Rush) 1 (32) Wanzek 2 (Rec) 1 (46) Johannesson 1 (Rush) 0 Ketteringham 1 (Rush) 0 Adeoti 1 (Rec) 0 Cloyd 1 (Rec) 0 Holm 1 (KO) 0 Oliveira 1 (Rush) 0 Toivonen 1 (Rec) 1 (40) FIGHTING HAWKS ONLINE Visit the newly-redesigned FightingHawks.com for all of the latest information on your UND Fighting Hawks sports teams.

UND s first official athletics nickname was the Flickertails, although its origin remains somewhat a mystery. The nickname made its first public appearance in a Grand Forks Herald account of UND s football loss to Minnesota on Oct. 8, 1904, 15 years after UND s first athletics contest was played. According to Lee Bohnet s A Century of UND Sports, The author was not identified, but there is strong evidence the nickname was coined by a Minneapolis sportswriter who may have covered the game for the Herald. The writer lauded the fighting spirit of the North Dakota players. In 1911, UND s student body officially adopted Flickertails as its athletics nickname. UND would remain known as the Flickertails (as well, unofficially, as the Nodaks ) for a third of a century, establishing an early athletics history. In the fall of 1930, the university adopted the nickname Sioux for its varsity teams following a successful renaming campaign by the Dakota Student, UND s student newspaper. The word Fighting was later added, and UND would be known as the Fighting Sioux until the summer of The university utilized several Fighting Sioux logos throughout the decades, perhaps most notably the green geometric logo introduced in 1976 and the most recent full-color logo was unveiled in The former was designed by an artist at the UND News Bureau, while the latter was created by noted Native American artist and UND alum Bennett Brien. The University of North Dakota officially retired its longtime Fighting Sioux nickname and logo prior to the athletics season. UND s varsity athletics teams operated without an official nickname, while the university continued the process of adopting the third official nickname in school history last fall. During that time, the university s varsity athletics teams will continue to be referred to as the University of North Dakota, North Dakota, or UND. Former President Dr. Robert Kelley announced in mid-november that Fighting Hawks would be the University s new moniker and the UND football team played under that nickname in its 2015 season finale at Cal Poly -- a victory over the Mustangs.

13 BUBBA SCHWEIGERT HEAD COACH Year at UND: 19th year (5th as head coach) Collegiate Experience: 32nd year Hometown: Zeeland, N.D. Alma Mater: University of Jamestown ( 91) The 2018 season will be the fifth for head coach Bubba Schweigert. It will also be the beginning of a transition period for his program as the Fighting Hawks move from the Big Sky into a two-year stint as an FCS Independent before joining the Missouri Valley Football Conference for the 2020 season. In addition to the beginning of the transition period, Schweigert would also like 2018 to serve as a bounce-back year after injuries took their toll on the roster and derailed a promising 2017 season that had UND pegged to repeat as Big Sky Champions, but ended in a 3-8 campaign. All was not lost, however, as the Fighting Hawks did post their first shutout during Schweigert s tenure with a 38-0 blanking of future MVFC foe Missouri State and recorded league wins against Northern Colorado and on the road at Portland State. Junior running back John Santiago claimed All-America honors for the third consecutive season and was joined by four other Fighting Hawks in garnering All-Big Sky accolades. The Fighting Hawks also continued their success in the classroom, matching a program record by having 18 student-athletes named to the Big Sky All-Academic team. Schweigert developed a nice pattern through his first three seasons as the head coach at North Dakota. Each year his squad produced more positive results than the previous one and 2016 was no exception as he was named the Big Sky and FCS Region 5 Coach of the Year. THE SCHWEIGERT FILE Birthdate Sept. 15, 1962 Hometown Zeeland, N.D. Education Bachelor s Degree: Business Administration - Jamestown 85 Master s Degree: Physical Education - North Dakota 95 Family Wife, Laura; sons, Alex & Cooper Coaching 2014-present - Head Coach University of North Dakota Defensive Coordinator Southern Illinois University Head Coach University of Min nesota Duluth Defensive Coordinator University of North Dakota Secondary Coach University of North Dakota Graduate Assistant University of North Dakota Assistant Coach University of Jamestown The Fighting Hawks shared the Big Sky Conference regular season title with Eastern Washington, reeled off a 9-game winning streak and earned the No. 7 overall seed in the Football Championship Subdivision Playoffs in After losing the first two games of the season by a combined four points, a double-overtime victory against South Dakota launched UND into Big Sky play where the Fighting Hawks ran the table. There were tight games and lobsided games, but his team always found a way to come out on top in league play and give UND its first undefeated conference record since Dale Lennon s 2003 squad went 7-0 in North Central Conference play. The defense was once again the top-rated run defense in the league and sixth in the FCS. The unit was also tops in the Big Sky with 20 interceptions and tied for second nationally, trailing only national champion James Madison in that category. Four Fighting Hawks earned All-America accolades, including safety Cole Reyes, who landed on six different All-America squads. The junior captain was also named the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year. Reyes was one of 15 UND players to earn All-Big Sky honors on the field, while 18 set a program record by being named to the All-Big Sky Academic Team. Senior Brian Labat led those efforts in the classroom and also earned CoSIDA All- District 6 Team honors. Schweigert wrapped up the 2015 season with what was the first threegame winning streak of his UND head-coaching tenure. Those three victories gave his second UND squad a 7-4 overall record and 5-3 mark in Big Sky play, which were both two-game improvements from his first season back in Grand Forks. Schweigert s defense led the Big Sky in rushing defense for the second straight season under his watch and the offense improved immensely thanks in large part to the record-breaking production of true freshman running back John Santiago. On Dec 28, 2013, Schweigert was introduced as the head coach at the University of North Dakota during a press conference in front of a standing-room only crowd at the Alerus Center. After a 4-3 start that included the program s first victory over an FBS opponent (24-13 win at Wyoming) and first DI victory over a ranked opponent on the road (19-17 win at No. 16 Portland State), the Fighting Hawks would go on to post the program s first seven-win season since Santiago was named the Co-Big Sky Freshman of the Year and collected All-America honors from the Associated Press and STATS, Inc. He was also a unanimous All-Big Sky first team performer and was joined on that team by senior linebacker Will Ratelle and offensive lineman Sean Meehan, who was also named to the AFCA All-America Team.

14 Eight more Fighting Hawks would garner all-league honors in 2015 as the defense once again ranked among the tops in the Big Sky, ranking first in rush defense and second in total defense. In the classroom, 17 UND football players were named to the All-Big Sky Academic Team, breaking the previous year s record by one. In his first season back at UND, Schweigert s 2014 squad won five games overall, which was a two-game improvement from the previous season. The campaign was highlighted by a upset of No. 22 Northern Arizona in the final home game of the season at the Alerus Center. UND took the positive vibes from a victory that knocked NAU out of the FSC playoff hunt to Greely, Colo., the next Saturday where the team closed out the season with its first Big Sky road win of the season -- a defeat of Northern Colorado. The defensive-minded head coach still works with the team s cornerbacks and they were part of a unit that led the Big Sky in total defense and rush defense in Two newcomers earned All-Big Sky Conference honors (KR Alex Tillman and PK Reid Taubenheim) and seven more players were named honorable mention in Schweigert s first season. There were also 16 UND football players named to the All-Big Sky Academic team, which tied a program record for individuals honored in one season. The Zeeland, N.D., native returned to Grand Forks after 10 years away from a program that he helped lead to the 2001 NCAA Division II national title as defensive coordinator. Prior to his return to UND, Schweigert was the defensive coordinator at Southern Illinois for the previous six seasons ( ) and served as associate head coach for the last five of that stretch. His 2010 defense led the Missouri Valley in total defense and his unit finished in the top half of the league in four of his six campaigns at SIU. Head Coach Bubba Schweigert (left) looks onto the field during a game against Eastern Washington at the Alerus Center. In his six seasons at SIU, Schweigert coached three first team All- Americans and 20 all-conference selections (10 first team, six second team, four honorable mentions). His defensive standouts have included linebacker and 2012 graduate Jayson DiManche, currently playing for Cincinnati Bengals, and cornerback Korey Lindsey, a three-time All- American and a 2011 draft pick of the Bengals. In 2013, SIU linebacker Bryan Presume earned first team All- MVFC honors after ranking third in the league with 104 tackles. His 55 solo stops were tops in the conference. Prior to arriving at SIU, Schweigert took on his first head coaching job at the collegiate level, leading the Division II program at Minnesota Duluth from He guided the Bulldogs to a overall record during his tenure, including the program s first North Central Conference title in The NCAA playoff berth that season was the program s second in four seasons. That same season, Schweigert was also named the D2football.com Northwest Region Coach of the Year and the AFCA Division II Coach of the Year for Region 5. This will be the second stint at UND for Schweigert. He spent 15 seasons as an assistant coach in Grand Forks ( ) where he was part of eight NCAA playoff teams and six NCC title squads. Schweigert was elevated to defensive coordinator at UND prior to the 1997 season and left for Duluth after the 2003 UND team finished as national runner-up. Schweigert was named the American Football Coaches Association Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in In his seven seasons as UND s defensive coordinator, Schweigert s defensive players earned 14 All-America honors and 23 first-team All-NCC accolades. His 2001 defense yielded just yards of offense and 50.3 rushing yards per game, while limiting opponents to 12.5 points per game on the way to the program s first national championship.

22 north Dakota 35 Stout defense leads Fighting Hawks in season opener GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- The University of North Dakota football team used a dominant second half on the defensive side of the ball to roll past Mississippi Valley State, 35-7, on Thursday night at the Alerus Center. The Fighting Hawks (1-0), who were opening the season at home for the first time since 2013, collected seven sacks, forced two turnovers, and held the Delta Devils (0-1) to -27 yards on the ground in the resounding victory. UND wasn t too shabby on offense either, posting 518 yards of total yards. The dynamic duo of Brady Oliveira and John Santiago each went over the 100-yard plateau with Oliveira posting a game-high 108 yards and Santiago close behind with 101. James Johannesson added 32 yards and a touchdown on six carries while quarterback Nate Ketteringham carried for 25 yards and plunged in from two yards out for a rushing TD. The junior added 225 yards and three touchdowns through the air, completing 19 passes on just 30 attempts. Ketteringham s perfect 40-yard strike to Travis Toivonen capped off the opening drive of the game and gave the Fighting Hawks the lead for good. Mason Bennett led the defense with a pair of sacks and three tackles for loss while Austin Cieslak registered 1.5 sacks. Tank Harris made arguably the biggest play on defense for UND, stripping the Delta Devil ballcarrier at the goal line to keep the Fighting Hawks up 14-0 in the first quarter. The hosts were clicking on third down throughout the contest, converting 10 of 16 and were successful on their only fourth down attempt of the game. On the game s opening drive UND set the tone with a good mix of run and pass, needing only six plays to march 65 yards. Ketteringham found Izzy Adeoti for 16 yards down the sideline and Santiago broke off a 11-yard scamper to quickly put the Fighting Hawks in opponent territory. On a 3rd and 11, Ketteringham found a cutting Toivonen over the middle of field where the junior broke free of the tackle and trotted in from 40-yards out to put UND on the board early. game 1 mississippi valley st Aug., 30, 2018 Alerus Center (Grand Forks, N.D.) 7 Quickie Statistics (Final) Miss.

After a missed field goal by the Delta Devils, UND turned to the groundand-pound as Johannesson and Oliveira led the Hawks down the field with runs of eight, 11, 21, and nine before Ketteringham called his own number on a two-yard QB sneak to give the Hawks a 14-0 advantage. MVSU looked to climb back into the game after Booker Chambers broke off a 79-yard kick return to quickly start with the ball inside the red zone before an 18-yard completion put the Delta Devils on the UND 4. After a two-yard rush, Harris stripped Robinson of the ball and Andre Steiger recovered just in front of the goal line to flip momentum and keep the visitors off the board. Following back-to-back punts to open the second quarter, UND started driving again when Ketteringham found Noah Wanzek with a 44-yard strike followed by an 11-yard pass to Luke Fiedler on a 3rd and 9 to keep the drive moving. The Hawks polished off the drive with seven again with Ketteringham throwing a back-should fade to true freshman Garett Maag in the corner of the end zone for his first-career TD catch and Ketteringham s third TD of the opening half. UND s defense cranked up the pressure as the second half began, forcing a three-and-out with back-to-back sacks from Darnell Rodgers and Bennett before Jacob Odom laid a huge hit on an attempted screen pass to force another Delta Devil punt. Santiago showed off his explosiveness in the return game when the FCS All-American busted out a 17-yard return to put UND on the MVSU 35 yard line. After the senior took a carry for 13 yards, Ketteringham again found Fiedler on a 16-yard slant in the back of the endzone for a 28-7 lead after three quarters. The Fighting Hawks added a final score in the fourth when Johannesson found paydirt from seven yards out to polish off a 35-7 victory. North Dakota returns to action next Saturday with a trip to FBS Washington in Seattle. The Huskies are currently ranked No. 6 in the AP Poll and battle Auburn this Saturday in a neutral-site showdown.

23 north Dakota 3 Fighting Hawks hang tough against No. 9 Washington SEATTLE -- Visiting North Dakota stood tall among the ninth-ranked Washington Huskies and their 68,093 fans at Husky Stadium, dropping a 45-3 decision Saturday afternoon. The Fighting Hawks were electric through three quarters on the defensive side of the ball, collecting a pair of interceptions and forcing five punts. UND did not allow Washington to convert a first down to begin the second half until its final drive of the quarter. We knew it was going to be a really tough challenge, said UND head coach Bubba Schweigert. We were going to have to earn everything we got today and I thought going into halftime we played decent football with the exception of the one turnover and a couple of big plays on defense. John Santiago showed off his entire skill set for the visitors, rushing for a game-high 139 yards on just 18 carries. The senior back had a 69-yard scamper in the third quarter that lead to a scoring drive for the Hawks. When we got down in there [red zone] after John s big run, we were looking for seven, said Schweigert. As the game moved on, we just needed to stay on the field offensively. We had a lot of plays defensively against a real physical front that eventually wore us down. In the second quarter, after the defense snuffed out back-to-back plays on 3rd and 4th-and-1, Santiago got into a groove. The senior scampered for a 10-yard gain on 3rd and long, then collected 14 more yards combined on his next three rushes as North Dakota worked its way across midfield and into Washington territory. UND was forced to punt, however, and the drive stalled, allowing Washington to regain possession. The Huskies then drove 87 yards on nine plays for a 17-0 advantage. game 2 washington 45 Sept. 8, 2018 Husky Stadium (Seattle, Wash.)

Again, though, the drive stalled just past midfield as UND s fourth-down attempt came up inches shy. After the teams traded punts, Hayden Galvin intercepted Jake Browning with under two minutes to go, giving the Fighting Hawks an opportunity at a final push before halftime. Nate Ketteringham then completed five straight passes and then Santiago moved a pile 11 yards on the ground for a first down at the 26. In that stretch, Ketteringham found Noah Wanzek for six and then 11 yards, followed by a three and four-yard completions to Travis Toivonen to setup a big 3rd-and-3 at the Washington 39 with 42 seconds to go in the stanza. Toivonen moved the chains on a three-yard catch with Santiago s run getting it down to the 26. Brady Leach s 43-yard field goal attempt was short and the teams went into the halftime locker room with the home team up, Washington (1-1) stormed back with a scoring drive of its own, using a 31-yard kickoff return to fuel a nine-play, 48-yard drive that culminated in a 1-yard touchdown pass from Browning to Cade Otton for a 24-3 advantage. Hayden Blubaugh picked off Browning later in the frame, giving UND the ball near midfield. North Dakota went three-and-out and the third quarter closed with the heavily-favored Huskies with just a three-score lead. Washington used a three-score final quarter to pull away and hold off the upset-minded Fighting Hawks, 45-3, on Saturday afternoon. North Dakota will play another ranked opponent next week, heading to Sam Houston State to battle the FCS fourth-ranked team. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. Central on WDAY/Z Xtra and the KX Network across the state. In the second half, North Dakota forced a pair of punts before putting together its first scoring drive. On 3rd-and-6 from the UND 14, Santiago found a seam up the middle and raced 69 yards to the Washington 14. Santiago then followed that with another 10-yard scamper as North Dakota knocked on the doorstep. Brady Leach converted from 20 yards out for his first collegiate field goal and the Fighting Hawks were on the board, 17-3.

24 game 3 north Dakota 24 #4/5 sam houston st. Sept. 15, 2018 Bowers Stadium (Huntsville, Texas) 23 Wanzek s TD grab, stout defense lead Fighting Hawks to upset victory over No. 5 Sam Houston HUNTSVILLE, Texas -- North Dakota rallied in the final quarter to snap host Sam Houston State s 21-game home winning streak Saturday evening, 24-23, at Bowers Stadium. Noah Wanzek s 8-yard, fourth-down touchdown catch proved to be the difference with 4:44 remaining and the Fighting Hawks defense made it stand up. Sam Houston State (1-1) doesn t lose at home often, in fact, the Bearkats held the FCS longest home winning streak heading into Saturday s game. The fourth-ranked Kats are the highest-ranked team that North Dakota has beaten in its NCAA Division I history. UND s recipe was old school North Dakota football-- run the ball, win the time of possession battle, force field goals instead of touchdowns and no huge plays. North Dakota s balanced attack offensively produced 189 yards in the air and 187 on the ground while the Hawks defense allowed just four third-down conversions in 13 attempts. North Dakota (2-1) took the opening kickoff 70 yards on 10 plays and chewed up 4:45 to take the early lead. The finishing touch was a 3-yard plunge into the endzone by senior Brady Oliveira, part of a combined 156 first-half rushing yards for the Fighting Hawks. SHSU had an answer on the next drive, going 83 yards over 13 plays before a Kyran Jackson 1-yard run on fourth-and-goal. The UND defense looked poised to turn the Bearkats aside at the goalline during that drive as Jordan Canady made a stop right outside the plain then UND turned aside a handful of attempts deep before the Bearkats were finally able to get in for the score. Austin Cieslak blocked a 49-yard field goal attempt to setup a 60-yard dirve for the Hawks in the second quarter. Brady Leach s boot from 26 was good and North Dakota reclaimed the advantage. After a quick three-and-out, UND again marched methodically down the field, rushing nine times and sprinkling in a pair of pass completions to take a 10-point lead. James Johannesson barreled his way down to the nine then bullied down to the one where Nate Ketteringham finished the job from a yard out for North Dakota s largest lead of the night. SHSU was able to tack on a field goal before the half to make it at the break. UND out-gained the Bearkats, and controlled the time of possession battle, owning the ball for more than 18-and-a-half minutes. In the third, the home team posted 13 points to jump out to a advantage. Two of those scoring drives, though, could have easily been worse if not for big stops to force field goal attempts. With the score tied, 17-apiece, SHSU got a blocked field goal deep in UND territory, taking over at the 4-yardline but couldn t punch it in. The Bearkats settled for a 34-yard field goal then got another field goal after getting down to the UND 6 but failing to get in the endzone. Those would prove costly for SHSU, who has qualified for the NCAA playoffs in each of the past seven seasons, including five appearances in the semifinals or later. With little over nine minutes remaining, UND set out on a 12-play, 84-yard game-winning drive. Sophomore Izzy Adeoti had a huge 48-yard catch to flip the field position early in that possession. Ketteringham then found Wanzek on 4th-and-3 for a 4-yard gain. After Ketteringham rushed for eight yards to setup 1st-and-goal, SHSU was forced to burn a pair of timeouts on the third and fourth down plays. Wanzek sprung free in the corner of the endzone where Ketteringham fired a strike that Wanzek dove to snare while keeping his body inbounds. Brady Leach tacked on the extra-point and the upset was brewing at full boil. The UND defense got a quick turnover on downs stopping a 4th-and-2 to just a one-yard gain and UND needed only to run out the clock. James Johannesson did the honors, rushing three times to get the first down and then Brady Oliveira had the final two carries before the victory formation signaled UND s biggest win since joining the FCS. North Dakota had four players rush for over 40 yards with Santiago carrying 13 times for 58 yards. Oliveira added 53 yards and a score while Johanneson toted it nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown with Ketteringham pitching in 43 yards on seven carries. Ketteringham completed 16-of-29 for 189 yards and the winning score, stretching his streak of attempts without an interception to 89 consecutive (three games). Noah Larson led all UND tacklers with nine total tackles. Evan Holm registered four pass breakups, including several key ones in the final stages of the game.

25 idaho STate 25 Second half woes doom UND in homecoming loss GRAND FORKS, N.D.-- North Dakota, after converting on all five of its third-down attempts in the first half, was just 1-for-10 on second-half third-down tries and visiting Idaho State sneaked away with a victory in front of 11,157 fans at the Alerus Center Saturday evening in the annual Potato Bowl and homecoming game. The 22nd-ranked Fighting Hawks were fresh off a big road win at then- No. 5 Sam Houston State last week. The momentum from that game seemed to overflow into a first half full of fireworks in a contest that saw two different games during each 30-minute segment. It was kind of a tale of two halves, UND head coach Bubba Schweigert said following the loss. I liked our team this week in practice, I thought we were focused and practiced hard. But, this will be a tough one to overcome. The teams piled up over 1,000 yards of total offense, including 664 of those coming in the first half. ISU s Tanner Gueller hooked up with brother, Mitch, for a 64-yard scoring strike with 7:42 to play to put the Bengals up for good, John Santiago finished with 111 yards rushing and a score for North Dakota while Nate Ketteringham was 19-for-38 with two scores and two interceptions. Noah Wanzek caught five balls for 109 yards and a touchdown. In the first quarter, North Dakota piled up 184 yards of total offense and converted on all five of its third-down attempts on the way to a 14-6 lead. John Santiago slipped loose of several would-be tacklers and scampered up the near sideline for 32 yards on the game s first possession. That run capped an 11-play, 81-yard drive that consumed the game s opening 5:20 as UND held the ball for nearly 11 minutes in the first stanza. Mason Bennett sacked ISU quarterback Tanner Gueller on third-and-goal to force ISU to kick a field goal. UND then answered with another long drive, eating up 5:23 and going 83 yards on a dozen plays for a 14-3 lead. The scoring play saw Travis Toivonen carry a handful of Bengals into the endzone with him for his second touchdown of the season. ISU responded with a field goal on the next possession and the game s first punt didn t come until the opening minutes of the second quarter. Jordan Canady intercepted Tanner Gueller but UND s drive stalled near the ISU end zone on a fumble. Idaho State made it hurt, going 80 yards in three plays to inch within one. The Bengals would claim their first lead four minutes later as Campbell Sheidow connected on his third field goal of the half for a score. Evan Holm returned a kick 48 yards to setup a quick UND drive to regain control. Nate Ketteringham found Noah Wanzek behind the defense and 46 yards later he found paydirt for a lead. Idaho State added another field goal before the half and it was a game at the break. The teams combined for 664 yards of total offense, but the second half would have a much different feel. In the third quarter, both offenses combined to punt five times and gained just 103 yards in 33 plays in that scoreless 15-minute stretch. The game was left in to the defenses hands in the pivtoal fourth. Early on, UND s game 4 #22 north dakota 21 Sept. 22, 2018 Alerus Center (Grand Forks, N.D.)

26 game 5 north dakota no. colorado Sept. 29, 2018 Nottingham Field (Greeley, Colo.) GREELEY, Colo.-- Visiting North Dakota used a methodical offense and a stifling defense to dominate Northern Colorado, 38-13, Saturday afternoon at Nottingham Field. UND, playing without star John Santiago, got big contributions from Brady Oliveira (123 yards rushing, 2TD) and James Johannesson (career-high 141 yards rushing) to record its second straight road win. Santiago sustained an injury in last week s game against Idaho State and was a gametime decision Saturday. He ultimately did not play and gave way to Oliveira and Johannesson to do the damage. The duo combined for 264 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns as the Fighting Hawks out-gained the Bears, It was textbook clock control as North Dakota held the ball for 38:51 and rushed the 61 times in the win. That attempt total was tied for the mostever by a team at Nottingham Field and UND s 351 net rushing yards ranked second all-time. North Dakota (3-2) set the tone early, taking the opening kickoff and driving the field methodically, piling up five first downs and covering 15 plays to go 71 yards. Brady Leach capped it off with a career-long field goal of 37 yards and UND had a 3-0 lead after that 8:18 drive.

The home team would turn it into points as a Trey Riek 1-yard plunge put the Bears on the board, 10-7, with 10:13 to go in the half. North Dakota continued to chew up game clock and the Bears searched for an answer to UND s ground game, going 85 yards in three-and-a-half minutes. Brady Oliveira scampered 15 yards to finish the drive and UND gained a 17-7 advantage. After the UND defense forced another punt, the Fighting Hawks pieced together a 12-play drive that spanned 68 yards and ended with another Ketteringham rushing touchdown for a commanding 24-7 lead at the break. The halftime numbers were gaudy as the North Dakota defense didn t allow a pass completion until the final minute of the half as Keaton Mott went 2-for-11 for just 17 yards passing the entire half. Meanwhile, Ketteringham was 8-for-12 with 111 yards passing and two rushing touchdowns in a half that saw UND own the ball for 21:15. UND kept it conservative in the second half, throwing just four times in the final 30 minutes and allowing the chains to be moved along the ground. True freshman Otis Weah even got in on the act taking his second career touch into the endzone as UND rushed for five scores and nearly six yards per attempt in the victory.
