Sioux Falls (3-0) at Minot State (0-3) - 2:30 p.m. 
USF 42, MISU 20

Minot, N.D. - The Cougars' 42-20 victory over Minot State featured some rough spots and gave coach Jed Stugart and his staff plenty of stuff to focus on in preparation for what figures to be a more challenging game next week against Bemidji State.  Though USF (3-0, 3-0 NSIC) was in command in the fourth quarter against the outmanned Beavers (0-3, 0-3 NSIC), its offense sputtered in the first quarter and the Cougars led just 17-7 at the half. The defining moment of the game took place with 3:39 left in the third quarter, when Minot State quarterback Zac Cunha threw a 15-yard touchdown strike that left USF clinging to a four-point edge. But John Tidwell blocked the ensuing extra point and defensive back Robert Virgil returned it the other way for a two-point conversion to give USF the 26-20 lead.  USF Recap | Minot Recap
