Cool....going to a bowl still better then not going to a bowl. 15 extra practices, fun trip for the players, chance to see the team play an extra game for the fans.
Ideally we end up with a matchup against a Power 4 school...outside of that I could really give a crap which bowl we end up in...
Minnetonka and Maple Grove both did well against Moorhead the first time they played them but definitely seems like they don't have much trouble putting up points....also don't seem all that good at stopping their opponent from scoring in a lot of games.
Gotta think playing at US Bank is...
Coming into the game tonight they had averaged 35.5 points a game and that included 2 of the 3 games you mentioned above. They can put up points. The weather conditions almost certainly played a big role in their struggles today.
Doubt there is data to back it up but would kind of make sense I guess since guys would be relaxed in a blowout since the pressure would be a lot lower. But I doubt there is much difference.
They definitely are not the typical unranked team....that said they are also on their backup QB so if they hold on it would be an impressive win for them. Gotta hold on though.
Lots of assists as well. Willing to move the ball to get the best shot.
Probably good for us that Alcorn is pressing as well.....good chance to work on breaking press and things like that.
Obviously can't read a ton into things given the caliber of the opponent but nice to see the team playing really well together right from the start again and dominating a bad opponent.
