SIOUX FALLS, S.D.  – Both Augustana and Wayne State enter the game with 2-2 records, as both teams lost their openers, and then won two straight games before falling last week. The Wildcats lost 34-31 in a double-overtime thriller at Memorial Stadium in Wayne, Neb., while the Vikings fell 26-14 in a twice-delayed game at Husky Stadium in St. Cloud, Minn.
 
The Vikings received the opening kickoff and drove the ball 48 yards in 10 plays, but the drive stalled, and rather than try the long field goal, Augustana went for it on fourth and three, but did not convert.
 
St. Cloud State took over and drove down for the game's first score, a 46 yard field goal to put the Huskies up 3-0, a lead that would quickly grow to 10-0, as Graham Miller picked off a Ryan Rubley pass on the first play of the ensuing drive, and returned it 29 yards for the touchdown, giving the Huskies the 10-0 lead with 5 minutes, 16 seconds left in the first quarter.
 
Down 26-0 in the fourth, the Vikings got on the board with a Rudolh Sinflorant six yard touchdown run, which capped an 11 play, 89 yard drive that cut the SCSU lead to 26-7 with 12:19 left in the game. Later in the fourth quarter, the Vikings put together a 14 play, 80-yard drive that ended with Kyle Saddler's first-career touchdown pass, a four-yard strike to Jake Welsheimer with six seconds left in the game.
 
A true freshman, Saddler finished with 198 yards, completing 16 of 38, with the touchdown and a pair of interceptions in relief of Rubley, who went 3 for 10 for 32 yards and an interception before leaving the game after the first weather delay.
