But opponents have been nearly as effective with 445 yards per game as UIU ranks 135th out of 170 programs. But what has turned UIU into a 1-5 team as opposed to a stronger W-L record is red zone efficiency. Upper Iowa converts just 52.4% of trips to the red zone into points (160th in DII) and have only turned 21 trips inside an opponents 20 yard line into touchdowns 10 times. Contrast that with a stout red zone defense that ranks 13th in the country and second in the NSIC by limiting opponents to score on 60 percent of trips to the red zone. UIU is second in the league in tackles for loss (7.8/ game) and fifth in sacks (2.83/game) and is sixth in the league in fewest TFL allowed (5.33/game). But they also rank last in the NSIC in turnover margin (-7), committing 19 turnovers while taking away 12. UIU QB Dmitri Morales guides the high flying offense, ranking eighth in the country in completions (25.8/game) and 20th in passing yards (282.8/game) with 10 passing and three rushing TDs. He s 13th in the country with yards of total of per game. The Peacocks have a pair of receivers over 400 yards in Jalen Amis (438) and Jarred Edmonds (406) with Edmonds adding five touchdowns. Derrick Portis leads the ground game with 481 yards at 6.41 per carry and seven touchdowns. The defense is led by three of the top-10 in the NSIC in TFL: Jojo Simpson (1.3/game, 2nd), Zach Gardner (1.1/ game, 8th) and Zach Ries (1.1/game, 9th) with Simpson and Gardner ranking 3rd/6th in the NSIC in sacks, and Gardner 3rd in the league in tackles (9.8/game).» Opponents 5/16 (31.3%) on 4th down» CSP 6/11 (54.5%) on 4th down MEET THE 2016 TEAM CAPTAINS Concordia head coach Shannon Currier has announced four captains for the 2016 season, seniors Sam Johnson (LB, Appleton, Wis.) and Dominic Nabak (S, Waukesha, Wis.) on defense and senior Darius Chapes (RB, Floral City, Fla.) and junior Matt Bjork (TE, De Pere, Wis.) on offense. To become a captain, players had to go through an formal application process that also included reading three books, community service and obtain letters of recommendation. The team voted on the applicants who completed the process to select its captains. Three, Johnson, Nabak and Chapes were selected during the spring season with Bjork earning the distinction following fall camp. SERIES NOTES: CONCORDIA 8, UPPER IOWA 2 The Golden Bears won the first seven meetings played between the programs from 2006 to 2012, with Upper Iowa winning two of the last three in the series including last year s matchup in Fayette, Iowa (52-20). Concordia has not lost at home to the Peacocks, holding a 5-0 mark in St. Paul including a 3-0 mark at Sea Foam Stadium, winning the last home contest in overtime in This Saturday s matchup in St. Paul will be the first time Concordia will face UIU under head coach Shannon Currier. LAST MEETING, 2015: UPPER IOWA 52, CONCORDIA 20 Concordia utilized three turnovers and 211 combined return (kick/punt) yards to keep short fields, attempting to spoil Upper Iowa s homecoming at Harms-Eischeid Stadium, but the Peacocks offense would soar in the game to offset CSP s advantages. Upper Iowa gained 598 yards on 95 plays of total offense, accumulating 31 first downs including 8-16 on third down leading to a 36:17 to 23:43 time of possession margin. UIU passed for 460 yards in the contest. Meanwhile, more consistent short fields supressed CSP s offensive output to 120 yards on 50 plays, but just eight first downs and 2-12 on third down permitted the Bears from keeping flight with the host Peacocks. Concordia scored in the first quarter for the first time in the season in the 2015 campaign s fifth week when Alquawn Vickers returned a kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown to cut into UIU s early 14-0 lead. Vickers had 188 all-purpose yards on the day including 146 yards via kickoff returns on three attempts for a 46.7 average. He added 3-36 on punt returns (12.0). Later in the first quarter, it was Jackson Dobbs and Chazz Roberts teaming up for a strip-sack with Dobbs recovering on the UIU 9 yard line. Darius Chapes darted up the middle for a nine yard touchdown on the next play with UIU blocking the PAT to preserve its lead, Chapes had eight carries for 35 yards to lead the offense. UIU added another touchdown for a lead at the quarter break and extended it to late in the first half when Jordan Halverson forced and recovered a fumble deep in UIU territory, setting up another touchdown on the next play as Ben Schramski found Sammy Baucham for a 15-yard TD strike to make it a margin at the half. Concordia s other forced turnover was a DeCeon Schumann interception, his second of the year. Josh Trifunov led the defense with three sacks as the team racked up six in the game. Trifunov also had nine tackles, 3.5 for loss. Halverson compiled a team-high 13 tackles in the game. Schramski completed for 93 yards and a touchdown and found Bruce Russell four times for 34 yards. CSP wasn t able to slow down UIU QB Dmitri Morales as he completed for 460 yards and five touchdowns, adding 32 rushing yards and another score. Morales connected with Jalen Amis 14 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns and Jarred Edmonds 10 times for 135 yards and two touchdowns. The Peacocks had a third 100-yard receiver, Trey MacTaggart (7-112). LAST WEEK: MINNESOTA STATE 45, CONCORDIA 10 Concordia took the first lead in the game as the defense forced a three-and-out on MSU s opening possession. Concordia then drove 59 yards on 10 plays, with a Ron Johnson to Darius Chapes 37 yard connection setting up Jonas Schenderlein for a 32-yard field goal, hitting his seventh-straight FG to dating back to 2015 and his first five of the 2016 season. MSU countered with a long drive sparked by a fourth down conversion from the CSP 22 yard line, but Concordia s defense held in the red zone as the Mavericks settled for a 29-yard field goal to tie the game late in the first quarter. A three-and-out by CSP led to a blocked punt which MSU returned for a touchdown to grab the lead before the quarter break. Alquawn Vickers would return the ensuing kickoff 43 yards with R.Johnson adding an 11 yard keeper to put CSP in MSU territory, but the drive stalled and Schenderlein hit the cross bar from 55 yards out for his first miss of Moments later, a 45-yard run by MSU running back Virgil Hammond set up a 1-yard touchdown and MSU suddenly led 17-3 after CSP nearly had a 10-6 margin just a few plays earlier. Concordia moved back into Maverick territory once again again but wasn t able to convert a fourth and 13 from the MSU 38 and the Mavericks scored with 40 seconds left in the half to push the lead to 24-3 in a half that was more closely contested than the score indicated. In the second half, CSP started with the ball and Chapes would again spark a scoring drive rushing five times for 31 yards including a 14-yard touchdown. CSP converted a pair of third downs and a fourth down behind R.Johnson who made two throws to Sammy Baucham and had a nine yard keeper to keep the drive alive. The big drive to open the second half consumed 7:27 of clock as CSP mounted 15 plays to move 76 yards to seemingly halt MSU s momentum. But the Mavericks wouldn t be denied on offense on homecoming, scoring on their next drive and using another blocked punt to set-up another quick score to push a game out of reach, as Concordia didn t convert a first down the rest of the day. Chapes led CSP with 126 combined yards against the historically stout MSU defense. He rushed a career-high 19 times in the game, compiling 89 yards and a touchdown while adding a 37-yard reception and his work led to both scores. NSIC tackles leader Sam Johnson had another strong day to lead CSP s defense with nine tackles to preserve his league lead.

THE GRIFF MYTH - PROTECTING HOME TURF The team also established the longest home winning streak in school history under his guidance. Known to the teams as the Griff Myth, Concordia tallied 19 consecutive home victories down the street at Griffin Stadium. The streak began in 2002 and stretched two years after Currier left through the 2005 season, finally falling at the beginning of In Currier s first four years, his teams only lost two home games, producing a record of 18-2 after winning his first and last nine home games. five combined TDs (3 pass, 2 rush) in a shootout loss to UMD.

Maedke set school records for most punts in a season (87) and punting yards in a season (3,187) and also the single game records of 12 punts (twice) and the top two single game punting yards records (469 & 456).

GUSTAVESON & VICKERS THE EARLY FAVORITE TARGETS During preseason interviews, head coach Shannon Currier reinforced two concepts: finding ways to involve Alquawn Vickers in the offense and that freshman Marcus Gustaveson will be an immediate force in the Northern Sun. Last year, Vickers tied for the team lead in receptions (37) and was second on the team in receiving yards (463) and receiving touchdowns (3) although his five total touchdowns led the team. In 2016, Vickers has been involved in every aspect of the game as a ball carrier. He has nine rushes for 39 yards, 15 receptions for 111 yards, 16 kickoff returns for 355 yards, two punt returns for six yards and completed a pass for a 73-yard touchdown. He s second on the team in receptions despite missing a game. Gustaveson broke loose against UMD with seven catches for 115 yards and two touchdowns while drawing four pass interference calls against the UMD corners. The duo leads the team in catches, Gustaveson with with Vickers adding They are the only two with doubledigit receptions through six weeks although six different receivers have at least 100 receiving yards on the year. Of the team s 83 completions, 13 different receivers have caught passes, 10 have at least three catches, eight have at least four receptions and five players have reached the end zone via pass. BIG TRADE: DECEON FOR VANTWON During spring practice, the coaching staff made a key swap with Vantwon Melton moving from wide receiver to cornerback while DeCeon Schumann moved from corner to receiver. Schumann caught his first two passes for 49 yards at UM Crookston in week two including a long of 35. Melton also made his first appearance at corner in week two for the defense. In his first two years as a WR, Melton had 25 catches for 220 yards and a touchdown, hauling in with the TD in Formerly a cornerback, Schumann had 33 tackles including two interceptions taking one back 42 yards for a touchdown in a road win at Minot State last year. He was in on seven passes defended in This year, he has three catches for 79 yards, averaging 26.2 per catch with receptions of 35, 30 and 14 yards. OFFENSIVE LINE DRIVES THE PRODUCTION The team s ability to execute offensively will be driven by an offensive line that includes one returning starter, Terrell Taylor who started all 11 games as a redshirt freshman at right tackle and has started the first three games of 2016 at left tackle. The offensive line has been the same starting five three weeks in a row, with Taylor joined by freshman Tanner Haechten (LG), senior Conner McGraw (C), junior Samuel Kessler (RG) and sophomore Ben Lawrence (RT). Additionally, freshmen Mario Espinoza and Ethan Aune have seen significant early season playing time. Redshirt freshman Hunter Kauffman returned to the lineup with a large portion of reps in week four at Northern State and earned the start at right guard in week five against Wayne State. DEFENSIVE LINE FEATURES EIGHT MAN ROTATION The top feature of the 2016 defensive line is its depth and how the coaching staff has utilized its mix of experienced upperclassmen and youthful impact players. The starting line features two seniors, a junior and a redshirt freshman while the second wave of four includes a senior, sophomore and two true freshmen. The statistical leader of the group is senior Ryan McKee (27 TT, 3.5 TFL, 2.0 SK, 1 BLK). Junior Chazz Roberts lines up on the interior with McKee and has 19 tackles & 4.5 TFL. Re Shon Howard (21 TT, 2.0 TFL, 1 INT) is on one end and redshirt freshman Kelly Pierce is the top playmaker in the backfield on the team with 5.5 TFL and 4.0 sacks (19 TT). Backing them up are, true freshmen Dylan Wood & Cole Riemer, sophomore Adam Miller and senior Gerardo Figueroa LINEBACKERS RACKING UP TACKLES Led by the league s leader in tackles, Sam Johnson and his 10.6 tackles per game rank 14th in the country. He s been consistent, recording at least eight tackles in all five games he s played with three double-digit efforts for a team-high 53 tackles despite missing a game. In the one game he missed, junior JJ Przybylka filled in with a 17-tackle performance in a week two win at UM Crookston. The 17 tackles are fourth most in a game in school history and tied for the NSIC single game high in He s fourth on the team in tackles with 31 despite playing behind Johnson at MLB. The team has produced six double-digit tackle efforts between four different players - all linebackers. Redshirt freshman Antonio Zepeda made 14 tackles in his debut against U-Mary in week one and is secondon the team with 34 on the season. Senior David Reed returned to the field in week four at Northern State, making the start at outside linebacker to lead the team with 14 tackles in the game and has already racked up 28 tackles in three games. Junior Billy Brown started the first three games of the year and has continued to see a large amount of snaps following Reed s return. He remains fifth on the team with 30 tackles on the year including 3.5 for a loss and a sack and returned to the starting lineup in week six at Minnesota State. NABAK PATROLS THE SAFETIES Senior captain Dominic Nabak had a huge end to the 2015 season, making 10-plus tackles in four of the last six games including a career-high 16 tackles in the finale at Augustana. He opened 2016 strong with seven tackles including one for a loss in a 17-0 shutout win over U-Mary, had a 70-yard INT for touchdown in a week 2 win at UMC and remains third on the team with 33 tackles, leads the team with two INT and is second with four passes defended (INT + PBU). Sophomore Brandon Russell is the other starting safety and has made 29 tackles with 3.0 for loss and a forced fumble. Freshman Brian Lanier continues to make a larger impact, making 23 tackles in his first six career games, earning his first career start in week six at Minnesota State. FORE & JOHNSON TEAM UP AT CORNER Junior Jamie Fore and senior Jonathan Johnson have teamed up as the starting corners in Fore is a sure tackler with 28 stops along with a blocked FG, forced fumble at the goal line, tackle for loss and two pass breakups. Johnson s early play has made a huge impact as he s ranked fifth in the NSIC with eight passes defended (INT+PBU). He s broken up seven passes and has an interception for touchdown (34 yards) against UMD. AFCA COACHES TOP-25 RK TEAM W-L PTS LW 1 Northwest Missouri St. (30) Grand Valley St. (Mich.)
