Week 3 Recap vs. Bemidji State

BSU 36, WSU 10 | Winona, Minn.

Thrice is not nice

With the loss to BSU, Winona State has lost three straight to the Beavers; two meetings in 2022 and last week’s contest.

Thrice is nice

Following Saturday, Jacob Scott has now made a field goal in a Warrior game for the third straight contest.

Gavin on the board

Ty Gavin, the WSU Player to Watch on offense, scored his first rushing TD of the season, tying the game at 10-10 in the first half vs. BSU.

First look at Van Hulzen

Winona State saw Jake Van Hulzen make his first extended appearance at QB, coming on in relief of starter Cole Stenstrom. Van Hulzen was 6-of-10 for 84 yards.

Not always the Miami of Minnesota

On Saturday, kickoff temps were in the mid-70s in Bemidji. The last time the two teams played, Nov. 19, 2022, kickoff temperature was 3 degrees above zero.

WINONA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

A

journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step

Winona State became the first team to score first against Bemidji State in nearly three years when the Warriors took a 3-0 lead on a Jacob Scott field goal.

Warrior secondary picks up a pick

The Winona State secondary earned an interception for the third straight game when Sam Shutter picked off Alt in the first quarter.

One if by land, two if by sea, three if by Lake Bemidji

Winona State outgained Bemidji State on the ground Saturday, 144 to 143. BSU outthrew WSU in the passing game, 341 yards compared to 214 yards. Alt has thrown for 341 yards, 260 yards, and 371 yards in his last three outings vs. Winona State.

Looks like, feels like...all aerial attack

Winona State and Northern State combined for 673 yards passing in their 2022 matchup. The Wolves had 394 passing yards, while Winona State had 279. Both QB’s completed 23 passes in the game and each had one interception

Let’s not do that again

Winona State conceded 477 yards of total offense to NSU last fall. However a trend in WSU’s favor is that the Warriors have not lost at home on Maxwell Field in the Bergstrom era.

BSU Statistical Week 3 notables:

BSU QB Brandon Alt proved tough for WSU to stop, going 22-of-36 for 338 yards

Dhel Duncan-Busby led BSU with 3 catches for 86 yards and 2 TDs.

Alt also had the longest run from scrimmage for either team, a 50-yard scramble
