NSIC Week 11 PreviewSaturday, November 16Since almost all the dust has settled in the 2019 NSIC season, I will be brief in my game previews in order to focus on what might lie ahead for the teams that have the postseason in front of them. Minnesota State-Mankato (10-0) at Upper Iowa (2-8)The Peacocks are every bit as unpredictable as a 2-8 team should be, beating UMD a few weeks back and then rolling over completely against an equally matched Wayne squad, 62-0.

To give full disclosure to my readers, I’m very limited on time this week and many of the upcoming weeks, so my content will brief compared to years past. In the process of coaching youth sports, moving into a new home, and regular job have me with very little ‘me time’, so I just wanted to be candid here.

NSIC 2019 Week 1 ReactionThe opening week of the NSIC pretty much went as planned with the exception of a one-sided win by Concordia over Sioux Falls 41-17. The Cougars outgained the Golden Bears 385 to 315, but 2 blocked points and other big plays turned the tide of this football game in favor of CSP and they never looked back.

2019 NSIC PreviewThe Northern Sun looks to have a clear-cut favorite this fall but should have a handful of teams right on the heels of the top dog. The last two seasons have seen less than stellar quarterback play, but I’d expect a few signal callers assert themselves during the ’19 campaign.
