When I saw that score my jaw hit the ground! That is an impressive performance by NAU. I thought for sure that they would be blown out.

Congrats to the Lumberjacks on getting their first playoff victory in school history.

maybe we (cardinals) should wait around for the Northern Arizona qb...at this pace..he may come out next season!! No stats for the mcneese state game - but I assume he had a great game..he has had a great season. For the games they lost (2 to montana schools and to ASU) it was mostly a function of the defense giving up points as opposed to being unable to score on offense..
