Hawks Fall to Bison

Posted on September 9, 2019 by 9 Comments

Coming into the game we hoped the gap had closed a bit more since 2015. However, we’re not sure that’s the case after Saturday. The offense looked much better than last time UND visited the Fargodome but the defense didn’t play nearly as well. The combination of those two things led to a 38-7 win

The UND faithful left the Alerus Center with a familiar feeling on Saturday. We have longed for the days of blowing out inferior opponents and we got just that vs. Drake. Even though the Hawks offense got off to a less than ideal start in the first half (12 points), the defense played lights out

Game Week! The long summer abyss is over and it’s time to get back into the Alerus Center for some Hawks football. This season is a bit different as UND does not play an FBS program but instead plays three FCS non-conference games. The first of which is the Drake Bulldogs this Saturday – 4pm
