Perfect day for football in Bloomington -- 50 and sunny, light wind.

B/N is jumping today with ISU vs Northern Iowa, IWU vs North Central, several key high school playoff games in town, music, Drama School productions, SAT testing (poor souls) and even the Nuns on the Bus are in town doing social justice training, speaking.  Packed program last night at Presser with Sister Simone.  She's an inspiration.  What's a progressive sports fan supposed to do?  And, the basketball Titans tip it off (exhibition) up at Winona State at Noon.  African Culture Night on Sunday night some great dancing and food, too, at Hansen.  If only the Bears could beat the Packers on Monday night, it will be a great three-day run!

GO TITANS! -- beat North Central!

IWU70

[FishHack76]

NCC ahead 7-0 with 9:37 left after 13-play, 85-yard drive. Went for it on 4th and 6 from the IWU 24 and Stanek completed a 23-yard pass to set up Pattat's plunge.

[FishHack76]

Gallik has come out firing, though, with three straight completions for 57 yards. That sets up a quick IWU score, Devonte Jones' 4-yard run. It's 7-all with 7:47 left in the first.

[FishHack76]

14-7 NCC late in the first quarter. Cardinals with another big play on fourth down from around midfield.

[devildog29]

Man, NCC offense is a machine.

[FishHack76]

NCC recovers a surprise onside kick and gets a safety after that drive failed. Gallick called for intentional grounding while in the end zone.

[Mr. Ypsi]

NCC makes it to the IWU 4, but shoots themselves in the foot with penalties; IWU hods them to a FG - 19-7 NCC.

[FishHack76]

IWU converts a fumble/interception into a TD, 19-14 NCC with 1:39 left in the half

[Mr. Ypsi]

NCC quickly drives to 1st and goal at the 10, then commits 2 consecutive false start penalties - 1st and goal from the 20, about 40 seconds remaining.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Cards get back to the 15, then commit ANOTHER false start!  NCC settles for a FG from the 20 as the half ends - NCC 22, IWU 14.

Anyone know what the deal is at North Park?  Game time looks like it should've been at 1, but live stats either aren't working, or the game is delayed...
