DSU yielded nearly 600 yards and nine touchdowns to the Colorado School of Mines' offense, which cruised to a 7 victory over the Trailblazers. The Orediggers were led by quarterback Justin Dvorak, who is second in the NCAA with 3033 passing yards and 34 touchdowns. DSU entered halftime trailThe Trailblazers ing scored both touchdowns on the ground, the second of which came from freshman quarterback Josh Thompson, who evaded would-b- e tacklers and found the end zone after a run. DSU struggled to contain the offensive juggernaut as CSM scored a touchdown on each of its first four possessions to start the game. Junior defensive back Colton Olson, DSU's leading tackler, was ejected in the first quarter after being called for a targeting penalty. "Losing Olson was not the difference in the outcome of the game," head coach Shay McClure said. "We just did not perform very well. They made plays and we didn't."

The Trailblazers relied heavily on the Wildcat offense in the second half, which was ran primarily through sophomore running back Orlando Wallace. Wallace was responsible for the largest rush of the game by either side as he took a direct snap 49 yards to the end zone. The touchdown by Wallace brought the score to 0 halfway through the third quarter. ,DSU's run game, which averaged 326 yards during its recent winning streak, was contained to 213 yards. During that time, the Trailblazers gained 438 yards of total offense but were limited to just 320 against CSM. "We go into every game knowing that we can run the ball," said Wallace, a business major from Cathedral City, California. "We did that pretty well, but didn't make plays when we needed to." CSM was successful on volleyball struggles at home, drops 4th straight DSU of its 16 third-dow- n conversion tries throughout the game.
