You're right. Dang it.

In the 11 FBS games that NDSU has played in since 2006, they have only committed 13 turnovers compared to 18 for their opponents (+5).

With the W over WIU, NDSU tied SIU for the longest conference game winning streak at 14 and now have the chance to best the record on Saturday vs those SIU Salukis.

With our conference in some ways this might be more impressive than the 29 game winning streak. Depending on the team, we might be able to get a team with a 4-4 conference record into the playoffs this year. Although if yesterday was a sign of things to come, this is gonna be another season where everyone just beats up on each other and, outside of one team, nobody stands out in conference play.

Fact - NDSU has become a punting powerhouse!

Anyone have some numbers or stats that are interesting with punting?

Before LeCompte, we either converted running backs to punter, took 6'6" guys who couldn't play bball, or had a placekicker that learned how to punt.

Meant that to be 100% sarcasm before I typed it, but now I'm starting to wonder...

Hopefully NDSU scores so often that they don't reach the minimum number of punts needed.

This week's factoid: Currently, NDSU is #38 in all-time wins among all DI programs with 661. What makes it even more impressive is that every DI team with more wins has played between 62 and 286 more games. At the start of the 2011 season, NDSU was at #50.
