They had a considerable size advantage up front and knew how to use it, rushing for 268 yards and gaining 498 total yards. They led 30-7 at halftime and 47-7 early in the fourth quarter. Connor Thomas ran for 123 yards and a score. Quarterback Rickey Lloyd was 14 for 128 for 177 yards and 4 TDs. #8 COLORADO STATE-Pueblo downed #25 West Georgia in a defensive duel, 10-7. The ThunderWolves won it on the old “homecoming” play: “Trailing 7-3, the Pack put together the game-winning drive on their second possession of the fourth quarter. After back-to-back runs of 13 and 14 yards by Cameron McDondle, CSU-Pueblo had the ball first-and-10 at the Wolves' 38 yard line. On first down, McDondle lined up in the "wildcat" formation and received the snap. The junior handed the ball off to his brother Bernard McDondle, who was coming in motion on the snap. Bernard McDondle immediately tossed the ball back to quarterback Chris Bonner who found a wide open (Zach) Boyd for the 38-yard touchdown.” (D2football.com) The Braves had taken a 7-3 first period lead on a 30-yard touchdown pass from Dallas Dickey to Shaq Hall. The game was then scoreless until the CS-P pulled the flea-flicker out of their playbook. It put them in the final. The visitors actually outgained the home team 366-249. The Finals match-up: MINNESOTA STATE (Mankato) 14-0 (600-180), ranked #1, post season record 8-7 (0 titles) Vs. COLORADO STATE-PUEBLO 13-1 (543-206) lost to Fort Lewis 22-23, ranked #8, post season record: 4-3 (0 titles) Comment: Somebody will win their first ever title. I suspect that Mankato is much the superior team but we’ll see when they kick it off. The game will be played Saturday, December 20 at 4PM in Kansas City, Kansas on ESPN2 (TWC Syracuse channel 25) [/QUOTE]
