Dickinson State isn’t exactly hiding its offensive plan. The Blue Hawks (7-3) bring with them the first real ground threat to the Carroll College football team (11-0) this season as the squad from North Dakota visits Nelson Stadium in the first round of the playoffs on Saturday.
“We haven’t changed our basic thing, we still want to run the ball,” said Blue Hawks head coach Hank Besiot. “That’s who we are. Whether its going well or not, that’s what we’re going to try to do.”
The big question is: Will the Saints be ready to stop it? Story
