CSUP, like Harding this past weekend, proved that “defense” wins championships.
In 2014, Minnesota Mankato got to the natty by mowing over opponents with its overpowering offensive line and prolific running and passing game. Mankato, like Mines this past season, put up some gaudy regular season statistics averaging 44 points per game.
In the playoffs, Mankato beat Pittsburg State and Minnesota-Duluth (who beat Northwest Missouri State) before advancing to the semi-final game. Mankato easily beat Concord, 47 to 13, to advance to the natty in Kansas City.
Meanwhile, CSUP beat Angelo State and Ohio Dominican (who beat Ferris State) to advance to the semi-final game against West Georgia. West Georgia got into the semi-final game by beating Delta State and Valdosta State. CSUP beat West Georgia in a defensive struggle, 10 to 7, to win a trip to Kansas City.
CSUP shut out Mankato 13 to 0 to win the 2014 National Championship proving that defense, indeed, wins national championships (a belief that former CSUP HC John Wristen practiced and preached). T-Wolf fans are hoping that HC Phil Vigil will follow in his footsteps.
