UND Shocks the #7 Ducks At the Autzen Zoo
UND 31, #7 Oregon 24
It was a glorious day to be a Sioux fan. UND has pulled off its biggest win yet, against its toughest opponent yet and in the toughest stadium yet. UND came in as heavy underdogs against the Oregon Ducks, ranked 7th in the Nation. Oh yeah, and it was on National Television. Not to mention UND's lack of defensive experience.
But new starting QB Drew Olsen, a transfer from Iowa, went 15/23 and 127 yards impressively for his first game. Catlin Solum, however, was the man of the game. 33 rushes, 170 yards and 2 TDs to lead UND to it's first win over a Top 25 opponent. But the play of the game? Ismael Bamba's 96 yard kickoff return for a TD, the second time he's done that in his career.
This is their most convincing win ever for the Sioux and they are sending a message to future opponents. Is this new UND team better than what we think? Time will only tell.
