Quick Facts Morningside held its opponent under 10 points for a third consecutive week and prevented the opponent from scoring a touchdown for the first time this season at Dakota Wesleyan Saturday. Zach Norton (R-Jr., Sioux Falls, S.D.) eclipsed 3,000 receiving yards against Concordia on Oct. 7. He is now fifth all-time and needs 217 yards to move into fourth. Ryan Cole (Jr., Plymouth, Iowa) passed the 2,000-yard rushing mark at Dakota Wesleyan Saturday. Cole is eighth all-time and needs 143 yards to move into seventh. Jamestown head coach Brian Mistro played against Steve Ryan in the 2007 showdown between the Jimmies and Mustangs. Mistro, who played safety for Jamestown, recorded an assisted tackle in the game. The last time these two teams met at Elwood Olsen Stadium, the Mustangs came away with a 70-7 win. This is the first time the Mustangs will take on the Jimmies as conference foes without Trent Solsma or Joe Dolincheck at quarterback for the Mustangs.
