Football opens November at Bemidji State

ST. CLOUD, MINN. – Out with the old, in with the new. After a rough October, the St. Cloud State University football team looks to finish the season on a positive note by winning out the month of November and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) North. With October and cross-divisional play over, the Huskies will make their final push to sit atop the NSIC North Division, starting with Saturday's 1 p.m. game against Bemidji State University.

St. Cloud State has struggled on the road this season and is looking for its first win away from home after posting a 0-2 mark during the month of October. With the lone road win of year coming against UMary in the season opener, St. Cloud State will be looking to end things on the road the same way they started, in victorious fashion. The Huskies will face off with Bemidji State University at 1 p.m. for the final road tilt of the 2019 season.

Live stats and video will be available during the game, and fans can also listen to play-by-play on AM 1390 Granite City Sports. Score updates will also be made on the team's official Twitter page (@SCSUHuskiesFB).

LISTEN TO THE NSIC FOOTBALL FORECAST

Here are the five things to know before Saturday's 1 p.m. kickoff:

15 - Quarterback, Dwayne Lawhorn is responsible for 15 total touchdowns on the season. Thirteen of those touchdowns have been through the air, which is tied for the lead amongst NSIC quarterbacks. Lawhorn also ranks top six in the conference in total yards per game with 206.3.

26 – The St. Cloud State defense has been a nightmare for quarterbacks all season. The front seven for the Huskies is one of the meanest in the conference, as they have tallied 26 sacks for 168 yards lost. The Huskies defense ranks third in the NSIC in sacks on the season.

63.6 – When it comes to converting on fourth down, the Huskies have shown they can get the job done. St. Cloud State has put together a fourth down conversion rate of 63.6 percent this season, thanks to numerous offensive weapons to keep opposing defenses on their toes.

25 – In Winona last weekend, St. Cloud State dug into its bag of tricks and caught the whole stadium by surprise when John Solberg connected with Graham Miller on a fake field goal. That 25 yard catch and throw led to the Huskies extending the drive and ultimately scoring. That was the first trick play of the year for SCSU, and the team found success, so be on the lookout for it again.

2 – Louis Williams IV is second in the nation in fumbles recovered with three on the season. Williams has found himself around the ball making plays all season. When a ball is loose on the ground he is always at the bottom of the pile. If Louis continues to generate turnovers it could benefit the offense in a major way by giving them a short field to work with.
