UMD news about last weeks game
Not much to say but the whole truth...
""LAST WEEK: The nationally-ranked University of Northern Iowa Panthers flexed their NCAA I-AA muscle Saturday night by striking early, and often, and cruised to a 49-14 victory over the NCAA II Bulldogs at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Northern Iowa, which was facing UMD for the first time, jumped out to a 21-0 second-quarter lead on scoring bombs of 57 and 41 yards and a one-yard touchdown run (which capped a seven-play, 63-yard drive). The Bulldogs got on the scoreboard with 4:27 left before halftime when freshman quarterback Ted Schlafke hit Mark Slinden with a swing pass and the junior fullback took it into the end zone from four yards out. The Panthers, however, came right back with a pair of touchdowns -- including a 26-yard strike -- in the next three minutes to go up 35-7 at the intermission. The Panthers extended their cushion by adding two more scores, one on a 33-yard dash from scrimmage, in the third quarter. Schlafke, who was 28 of 42 for 212 yards on the night, threw his sixth touchdown toss of the year -- a seven-yarder to freshman wide receiver Tony Doherty -- with five seconds remaining in regulation to make it a 49-14 final. Doherty finished with a career-high six catches for a club-best 57 yards while sophomore wide out Vinny Flury amassed 49 yards on seven receptions. Although it held a 32:30 to 27:30 edge in time of possession and collected the same number of first downs (19) as the Panthers, UMD surrendered 523 yards of total offense on just 59 plays while mustering just 274 yards of its own (a mere 69 of which came via the ground). Freshman strong safety Jim Johnson led the Bulldogs defensively with a team-high six total tackles (all solo stops).""
