Over under rushing attempts for the Cats today: 55.5...I'm taking the over and they might run for 400 yards. That snap over Prukop's head won't help the rushing total

another botched snap by ND, Norberg recovers but loses 4. Third and long again. #msubobcatsFB #BigSkyFB

by Jon Maletz via twitter 9/27/2014 8:41:41 PM

by Colter Nuanez via twitter 9/27/2014 8:41:47 PM
Khari Garcia steps in front of ill-advised Mollberg pass, takes it to the house for the TD! #msubobcatsFB #BigSkyFB

by Jon Maletz via twitter 9/27/2014 8:42:27 PM
Khari Garcia picks off Mollberg and returns it almost 50 yards for a touchdown. He was one of three safeties on the field for MSU that play

After 46-yard return and extra point, Cats now in front 10-0. #msubobcatsFB #BigSkyFB

by Colter Nuanez via twitter 9/27/2014 8:43:22 PM
Mollberg is 2 of 5 for 8 yards and one pick thus far. #msubobcatsFB #BigSkyFB

UND's defense lived up to the billing in 1st quarter, holding MSU to 7 rushing yards on 11 carries and 56 total yards on 17 plays #BigSkyFB

by Colter Nuanez via twitter 9/27/2014 8:44:09 PM
Garcia had an interception last week against Eastern that he almost returned for a touchdown. He was in man coverage on the interception today. Brandon Marshall and Jamie Marshall must like the freshman's coverage skills

Khari Garcia with the pick-6. His mom almost beat him to the end zone sprinting from the opposite 15-yard line!

ND return man fumbles Daly's kick, falls on ball at the 20 at 14:01. #msubobcatsFB #BigSkyFB

by Jon Maletz via twitter 9/27/2014 8:45:40 PM
For this game's sake it's a good thing the field wasn't in throwback mode. The old Reno H. Sales field would be a complete mess right now.

On first and 10 at the 19, Johnson gains 2, then Prukop springs Johnson for TD with great block. #msubobcatsFB #BigSkyFB
