I like the way the Titans have committed to the run without Stinde.

Halftime...

IWU 17
Monmouth 7


A big turnover late in the half to help Monmouth get back in it, but IWU played very well in the 1st half.  The defense has been tremendous.

Monmouth gets the ball to start the 2nd half...they can really make this a ballgame with a TD drive.

[oldnuthin]

Looks like NCC finally figured out Dubuque. they have put up 17 points in the final 5 minutes of the half to lead 24-7

starting to remind me of the Wabash game 2 years ago in Bloomington.

[Titan Q]

1st half stat that jumps out...

T.O.P. - IWU 19:44, Monmouth 10:16

So far IWU is really controlling the ball.

[AndOne]

NCC leads 24-7 at the half. They are almost entirely forgoing the pass. Operating largely out of the wildcat
formation, the Cards are ramming the ball down Dubuque's throat, rushing for a 9.2 average.
Nick Dace's 41 yd field goal as time expired to end the half was huge.
We'll see what the 2nd half brings. I don't think NCC fans can breathe easy yet with Dubuque's high flying
pass offense and their ability to strike quickly with an entire half left.

*Biased for sure, but I think at least some of the success both NCC and IWU are having today, and will have
as the playoffs go forth can be attributed to the level of competition they face in CCIW conference play
throughout the season

*On another front, it was just announced that NCC just won yet another cross country national championship
up in Wisconsin. What new? 

[hazzben]

NCC just looks SO much more physical than Dubuque.

To a position they just look better conditioned and more powerful. Simply inflicting their will on the Spartans

[Titan Q]

Long TD drive by Monmouth on opening drive of 2nd half.

New game!
