Nice crowd in Moorhead last night. I thought it would be a close game but Wayne rolled. Once they had the big lead that front line just teed off on Strand. The best look last night was the blonde with the red scarf on the sideline taking pictures. Strand throws darts but was getting buried- lack of a running game and a defense that got worn out. Wayne with the KO return for a TD and a pick 6 is going to be a handful for anyone.

Not the start of the season the Dragons wanted by any means, but I will choose to stay optimistic. Wayne's D Line clearly was better than the Dragon O Line, but I don't think they were horribly outmatched. Same goes for any position group on the field. Wayne played a damn good game and the Dragons looked like they were off and couldn't find a rhythm from the start, not to mention a few back breaking penalties, KOR, and pick 6. Adam Kallenbach is arguably our best defensive back and sounds like he will be back in a few weeks, which will help. Regardless - they will need to flush this one down the toilet and move on fast as the schedule doesn't get any easier with a road trip to Duluth next up. Hopefully we can clean it up and look sharper next weekend. I have confidence that Jack Strand will find a way to move on from this performance. I know there are many disappointed Dragon fans today after the hype that has built up around this team this offseason, but there is a lot of football left to be played.
All the credit to Wayne St though. That's a great football team. I truly believe they will be the team to beat in the NSIC this year. Definitely will be the game of the week when they face Mankato.

It'll obviously be a non-factor either way, but I still plan to attend. I like inter-divisional matchups between DII and DI and I've yet to see one in football. I wonder how many Augie fans got tickets?

Yeah, the Dragons' issues seem to be the same as the past few years: offensive live and lack of dynamics in their offense. Strand gets precious seconds to throw the ball. Give Wayne's d-lineman credit, they seem to be very impressive. But protection is a concern Dragons fans have had for years. And the pass-heavy offense has worked for the Dragons, but games like last night show how much the lack of a running game makes game-planning against them easier. (I mean, there were moments last year where the Dragons would be in a let-the-clock-run situation and they'd STILL choose to pass the ball - that seems to be how uncomfortable with the run they are.)
