Games for Saturday, October 23rdAugustana (6-1) at Minnesota State-Mankato (5-2)MSU had a cake walk in Fayette, trouncing the Peacocks 58-0 in a game in which the outward appearance was that the Mavs were trying to re-establish a passing game that looked dicey in losses to Duluth and Wayne. JD Ekowa might’ve had his best day statistically as a Maverick, completing 16 of 20 for 286 yards and 4 scores, while punching in on the ground as well.

State of the NSICI’ve stated this before, but after 6 weeks of play it looks like the NSIC isn’t likely to produce a top playoff seed or host many playoff games as the league is seemingly cannibalizing itself. The Northern Sun has some very good teams, but I don’t see a fire-breathing dragon like Mankato in recent years.

Augustana is the lone unbeaten after four weeks and two teams with new head coaches (Wayne State and Northern State) find themselves in the hunt after huge wins over perennial powers.

Minnesota State Mavericks2019 Record 14-1The Mavericks open this season in the unique spot of having to replace the brunt of their offensive production and defense from their 2019 National runner-up campaign. No longer in the huddle are household names like Gunn, Zylstra, and numerous others.
