On the Fighting Sioux: North Dakota tallied its first win over a Division I Football 

Championship Subdivision (FCS) opponent on Thursday evening when it defeated Idaho 

State, 38-35, on the road in Pocatello, Idaho. Josh Murray (Pepin, Wis.) led the Sioux 

offensive with a career-high 204 yards on 23 carries with one touchdown. Murray scored 

on a 26-yard run and added a 25-yard kick return. Senior quarterback Danny Freund 

(Kenosha, Wis.) went 20-for-26 passing with 237 yards and three touchdowns. He 

connected with Brady Trenbeath (Cavalier, N.D.), Brandon Brady (Bloomington, Minn.), 

and Marcus Tibesar (St. Paul, Minn.) in the end zone and handed off to Murray and 

Brady to help the Sioux to the three-point victory over the Bengals. At the end of ISU’s first 

possession, senior defensive back Drake Otto (Kenosha, Wis.) had already logged five 

assisted tackles and one solo. By the end of the second quarter, he had added a fumble 

recovery and two quarterback hurries. 

The Sioux led the Bengals by 21 points before ISU could put a mark on the scoreboard. 

At one point, Idaho State turned a 31-7 deficit to a 31-28 ballgame in three-straight drives. 

Even with the comeback, the Bengal’s were held off as the Sioux scored again to take a 

10-point lead that ISU couldn’t overcome. 

The series with SEL: This marks the first time that the Fighting Sioux and the Lions 

have met at the 50-yard line. 

On the Lions: Last week, Southeastern Louisiana fell to 2-2 overall despite another 

400-plus yard offensive performance. Louisiana Tech used two Southeastern turnovers to 

break the game open with a 10-0 third quarter and improved to 2-1 in the victory. The two 

teams combined for 885 total yards in a wild game between the two former Gulf States 

Conference rivals who were meeting for the first time since 1985. 

Southeastern junior quarterback Brian Babin set new single-game career highs for

completions and attempts, hitting 32 of 59 passes for 322 yards. The 300-yard performance 

was the second in as many weeks for the St. Amant native, who threw for a career-high 

330 yards versus South Dakota last Saturday. 

Sophomore wide receiver Andre Cryer caught seven passes for a career-high 138 yards 

and a touchdown to lead the Lions. Cryer’s touchdown catch came from junior wide receiver 

Chris Wilson, who completed his first career pass, while also finishing with six catches 

and 64 yards. 

Freshman Simmie Yarborough also caught seven balls for 83 yards for Southeastern. 

Senior running back Jay Lucas amassed 99 total yards in the contest, as Southeastern 

put up a season-high 440 yards and recorded 23 first downs. 

Southeastern was led defensively by sophomore linebacker Mark Newbill, who finished 

with eight tackles, two forced fumbles, 2.5 tackles for loss and a sack. Junior defensive 

back Brian Reynolds also had eight stops for the Lions, while junior Tommy Connors, 

sophomore Ryan Godare and freshman Devin Jones had seven tackles each. 

In the weeks prior, the Lions won their first game against Alcorn State, 34-28 before falling 

to Mississippi State, 34-10. SLU bounced back in Week 3 with a tight, 31-30 victory over 

South Dakota. 

SEL head coach Mike lucas: When Mike Lucas was named the 14th head 

football coach in Southeastern Louisiana history on December 14, 2006, his main focus was 

to quickly stabilize a young program that was affected by two seasons of distractions. 

But with his many years of experience in the Southland Conference, learning under some 

of the league’s legendary mentors, and gaining the trust and admiration of his players, 

Lucas has the Lions back on track as they enter their fourth season in one of the top 

football conferences in the Football Championship Subdivision. 

Officially named head football coach at the end of the 2006 campaign after serving the 

previous two seasons as defensive coordinator, Lucas is familiar with the ingredients that 

are needed to be a consistent winner in the Southland Conference. 

Lucas took over the program on an interim basis for the final three games of the 2006 season 

before embarking on his first full season as head coach in 2007. With a new quarterback 

and tremendous youth on the defensive side of the ball, the Lions showed dramatic 

improvement and played with the heart and determination needed to win championships. 

Southeastern finished the 2007 season with a 3-8 record, but the foundation for a successful 

gridiron future was laid under Lucas’ guidance. 

Offensively in 2007, Southeastern relied on the play of All-SLC running back Jay Lucas 

along with first-year starter Brian Babin, who made great strides during the season at 

quarterback and fifth-year wideout Byron Ross, who provided the Lions on of the top deep 

threats in the league. 

With an extremely youthful defense, featuring as many as seven true freshmen on the field 

at one time, Southeastern displayed Lucas’ hard-nosed style of play in every game during 

the season. 

Highlighted by Tommy Connors, a sophomore and one of the elder statesmen on the 

defensive side, and true freshman Mark Newbill, the Lions finished near the top of the 

FCS national rankings in turnover margin.

On the road: North Dakota has won 23 of its last 35 games on the road. The Fighting 

Sioux were perfect last season in away games until the final game of the season where 

they lost to Grand Valley State, 21-14. Over the last six seasons, the Sioux are 5-1 when 

it comes to their second road game of the year. 

MURRAY - Stepping up and making the plays: Josh Murray ran for 

another career-high as he helped lead the Fighting Sioux to a 38-35 victory over Idaho 

State. On foot, the sophomore from Pepin, Wis. totaled 204 yards on 23 carries with one 

touchdown and averaged 8.9 yards/carry. His touchdown came off of a 26-yard run on the 

first play of the second quarter and his longest carry came later that quarter on the Sioux’s 

second possession. When the whistle sounded at the half, Murray had already gained 

120 yards on 11 carries with an average of 10.9 yards/carry. Twenty-five of Murry’s total 

yardage came off of a kickoff return midway through the second quarter. His 204 yards 

more than doubled Idaho State’s total 83 net yards and was four times as much as any 

other UND running back. In addition to his ground yardage, Murray also caught one pass 

for nine yards. 

Sack city: North Dakota has added another two notches on the Sack City board. In 

Thursday’s game against Idaho State, Ty Boyle (International Falls, Minn.) and Ward 

DeMontigny (Washburn, N.D.) landed their first sacks of the season and combined for a 

total 24 yards lost. 

After being held without a sack in its first two games, North Dakota finally took down an 

opposing quarterback, and they did so three times. Senior defensive lineman Mike Ebanks 

(Orlando, Fla.), senior outside linebacker Tyson Giles (Warren, Minn.), and freshman 

outside linebacker Brad Kelley (Coon Rapids, Minn.) tallied a sack apiece. It was the first 

career sack for Kelley, the second for Giles, and the third for Ebanks. 

trenbeath - great touch on that pass: Senior WR Brady Trenbeath 

(Cavalier, N.D.) grabbed another nine passes in Saturday’s game to push his season total 

to 29 and his career total to 143. He stands exactly 100 passes behind Weston Dressler 

(2004-07). (See list on page 3.) 

On Sept. 6, Trenbeath reached the century mark in regular-season receptions made. 

With a total of 408 receiving yards on the season already, the senior wide receiver sits in 

the No. 6 spot on the all-time list. Another 175 yards and he will move into the No. 5 spot 

ahead of Dan Grossman (2002-05). (See list on page 3.) 

In the season-opener against Texas A&M-Kingsville, Trenbeath logged a career-high 171 

yards on seven catches. 

Trenbeath moves to Saturday’s game having caught at least one pass in 27 consecutive 

games to start his career. 

freund - open up the passing lanes: Senior QB Danny Freund (Kenosha, 

Wis.) once again extended his touchdown pass streak with three touchdown completions 

in Thursday’s game against Idaho State. He connected with Brady Trenbeath (Cavalier, 

N.D.), Brandon Brady (Bloomington, Minn.), and Marcus Tibesar (St. Paul, Minn.). 

Perhaps even more impressive is Freund’s current streak without throwing an interception 

- he has now tossed 234 passes without being picked off. 

Freund finished the 2007 regular season, his first year as a starter, by throwing 128 

passes without being intercepted, a stretch that spanned 15-plus quarters of football. He 

completed 87-of-128 passes (68.0 percent) for 1,055 yards and nine touchdowns during 



that stretch. 

The last time Freund threw an interception was during the first quarter against Nebraska- 

Omaha on Oct. 13, 2007. 

freund - airing out the game: Though only in his second year as a starter 

for the Sioux, senior QB Danny Freund has already made his way into the records books 

and has continued to move up. 

With the addition of 20 completions during Thursday’s game against Idaho State, Freund 

moved into the No. 9 spot on UND all-time passed completed list. He jumped ahead of 

Chris Belmore (2003-06) and needs another 63 to make another moved on the leaderboard. 

(See list on page 3.) 

Freund’s 901 yards in the air thus far have also moved him into the No. 9 spot in career 

passing yards. He is also listed seventh is all-time career touchdown passes with 34. (See 

list on page 3.) 

hellevang - splitting the uprights: With the addition of eight point on 

Thursday, junior K Brandon Hellevang (Fargo, N.D.) put his total for the season at 34. He 

currently leads the team in points scored. 

In the September 16 game against St. Cloud State, Hellevang tallied seven points and 

became the 10th player in Sioux Football history to score 200 points. 

His three-year total of 222 ties him with Mike Deutsch (1970-72) at the No. 8 spot on UND’s 

all-time career scoring leaders. (See list on page 4.) 

He is also moving himself up in career PATs and field goals. (See list on page 4.) 

brady - pound it out on the ground: With 15 rushing touchdowns over the 

past three seasons, senior RB Brandon Brady (Bloomington, Minn.) is just four TDs short 

of placing his name in UND football record books. (See list on page 4.) 

manke - dominate the line of scrimmage: With 14 unassisted tackles and 

10 assists on the season already, senior safety Rory Manke (Detroit Lakes, Minn.) has 

logged a four-year total of 119. Manke sits just 28 solo tackles behind his oldest brother, 

Ryan Manke (2001-04) on UND’s all-time career solo tackles list. (See list on page 4.) 

If Manke can tally another 11 pass breakups this season, he will tie three others who have 

recorded 21 in their career since 1977. 

Putting up big numbers: In Thursday’s game against Idaho State, a number of 

Fighting Sioux players reached personal milestones... 

● Kris Ankenbauer, first tackle assist of the season ● Matt Bodoh, first tackle assist of 

the season; two solo tackles for the second game in a row ● Ty Boyle, first sack of the

Poll position: North Dakota has yet to crack the regular-season FCS polls. UND was 

ranked No. 3 in the Great West Conference preseason coaches poll. Cal Poly received three 

first-place votes to top the poll, while UC Davis grabbed the other two first-place votes and 

was ranked second. South Dakota and Southern Utah were ranked No. 4 and 5, respectively. 

See page 6 for more poll information. 

BREAK on through to the other side: The Fighting Sioux introduced 

themselves to the Football Championship Subdivision with a 40-14 victory over the 

visiting Texas A&M-Kingsville Javelinas. With its 31-17 victory over former North Central 

Conference (NCC) foe St. Cloud State, North Dakota remains as the only undefeated 

program in the Great West Conference (GWC). 

The Sioux will face their first GWC opponent on Oct. 25 when they travel to UC Davis. 

Bringing their “A” game: UND has now won 16 consecutive season openers. Last 

season the Sioux recorded a 59-0 dismantling of Humboldt State. The Sioux have not lost a 

season opener since falling 31-13 at Indiana (Pa.) to open the 1992 campaign. 

Thursday’s win put UND at 8-0 in home openers at the Alerus Center, outscoring its opponents 

390-48 for an average score of 49-6:

A few good men: After spending nine seasons as an assistant coach at UND, including the last seven as offensive coordinator, Chris 

Mussman (Iowa State ‘90) takes over as Sioux head coach in 2008. 

Mussman, 40, was named the 25th head coach in UND football history on Jan. 4, 2008. During his nine seasons on staff, UND has gone 

90-24 (.789) with five NCAA DII postseason appearances, including a national championship in 2001. 

Newcomers to this year’s coaching staff include offensive line coach Rod Carey (Indiana ‘94), special teams coordinator and outside 

linebackers coach Josh Kotelnicki (UND ‘02), running backs coach Philip Mannie (Texas State ‘03) and inside linebackers coach Digger 

Anderson (UND ‘07). 

Greg Breitbach (Montana-Western ‘92), who spent the past two years as UND’s running backs coach, inherits offensive coordinator duties 

from Mussman, while co-defensive coordinator Mike Mannausau (UND ‘99) has been elevated to assistant head coach. 

Co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach John Kelling (Minnesota State ‘91), receivers coach Tim Belmore (Gustavus Adolphus ‘96) 

and tight ends coach Paul Charbonneau (Mount Allison ‘05) also return from last year’s staff. 

You only have one chance to make a good first impression: On Thursday, Aug. 29, first-year head coach Chris 

Mussman became the 18th person to win his debut as UND head football coach. 

The most lopsided victory by a debuting Sioux head coach was a 63-4 win over Manitoba on Sept. 22, 1928, Charles A. “Jack” West’s first 

game on the Sioux bench. 

The worst opening loss by a first-year Sioux head coach was a 39-0 setback at Minnesota on Oct. 4, 1919, the first 

Defend your home turf: North Dakota set a new home attendance precedent on Aug. 28, 2008 when it opened the 2008 season 

in front of a record-breaking crowd of 11,434. This marked the largest season-opening crowd in Alerus history. 

With the season-opening victory over Texas A&M-Kingsville, UND moved to 47-6 (.887) all-time at the Alerus Center, including a perfect 10-0 

playoff record. 

The Sioux have now won 36 of their last 38 games at the Alerus Center, with the only two losses coming at the hands of Nebraska-Omaha 

(10/13/07 and 10/29/05). The loss to UNO in 2005 ended a school-record 23-game home winning streak for the Sioux. 

UND ranked fifth in NCAA Division II football in average attendance in 2007, averaging 9,887 fans per game, UND’s highest average since 

10,023 fans per game watched the Sioux in 2001, the team’s first season in the Alerus Center. 

They have a strong supporting cast: Senior QB Danny Freund (Kenosha, Wis.) and senior S Rory Manke (Detroit Lakes, 

Minn.) have been named team captains for the 2008 season. UND will also designate rotating game captains on a week-by-week basis. 

There’s no “I” in team: No fewer than five Fighting Sioux have made the transition to different positions since last season: 

Junior Ryan Konrath (White Bear Lake, Minn.) has switched from quarterback to wide receiver. Konrath began his transition early last 

season and caught one pass. 

Sophomore Curtis Dublanko (Thorsby, Alberta) is now listed as UND’s No. 2 fullback after spending his freshman campaign at inside 

linebacker. 

Sophomore Michael Gowan (Cando, N.d.) is listed as UND’s No. 2 tight end after appearing in three games last season as a reserve 

defensive lineman. 

Sophomore Ryan Kasowski (Grand Forks) was switched from inside to outside linebacker during fall camp. Kasowski appeared in 12 

games as a freshman and made 35 total tackles (18 solo) to go with a team-high six quarterback hurries. 

Sophomore Matt Bakke (Grand Forks) has moved across the line of scrimmage to the offensive line. Bakke appeared in three games in 

2007 as a reserve defensive lineman. 

Last season: UND went 10-2 overall and 7-1 in the North Central Conference last season, advancing to the second round of the NCAA 

Division II playoffs. The 2007 campaign was UND’s last as a Division II and NCC member.

CHRIS MUSSMAN 

Longtime assistant coach Chris 

Mussman enters his first season 

as the head coach of the Fighting 

Sioux and will guide the traditionrich 

program into its new era of Division 

I-FCS football. 

Mussman, 39, became the 25th 

head coach in UND football history 

when he was introduced at a press 

conference on Jan. 4, 2008 after 

nine seasons on the Sioux coaching 

staff, including the last four as 

assistant head coach and the last 

seven as offensive coordinator. 

“I am humbled to have this opportunity to lead the Fighting Sioux 

football team,” said Mussman at the press conference. “The past 

nine seasons have taught me the proud history and tradition of this 

football program. We look forward to working with the football family 

from past and present as we move towards Division I.” 

Mussman possesses nearly two decades of collegiate coaching experience. 

During his nine seasons as an assistant on the UND staff, 

the Sioux went 90-24 (.789), won a Division II national championship 

in 2001, won five North Central Conference titles and made 

five NCAA Division II postseason appearances. 

Last season, his seventh as UND’s offensive coordinator, Mussman 

directed arguably the most explosive offensive unit in the history 

of Fighting Sioux football. UND set school records for total yards 

(5,924), total touchdowns (60) and regular season scoring average 

(40.7 points per game). 

UND finished the 2007 season as the NCC’s top-ranked offense 

in scoring, total offense, total first downs, 3rd-down conversions 

and time of possession. Individually, senior wide receiver Weston 

Dressler set a UND singleseason record for receiving yardage and 

was named a Harlon Hill Trophy finalist, while two of Mussman’s offensive 

linemen, juniors Mitch Braegelmann and Brian Troen, garnered 

several postseason awards between the two of them. 

Additionally, junior quarterback Danny Freund set UND regular 

season records for passing yards (2,573) and touchdowns 

(24), while sophomore running back Ryan 

Chappell shattered the team’s single-game rushing 

record with 306 yards against Central Washington on 

Sept. 15.

achieved under Mussman’s watch, 

including the top three single-season passing yardage 

performances, top seven completion percentage 

performances and seven of the top eight marks for 

single-season receptions. Also, six of the top 10 highest-rated
