Cardinal Football Opens the Season With a Win
|
The SVSU football team opened the 2024 season with a big win at Winona State University on Thursday, Sept. 5, besting the Warriors 38-14.
“We got off to a fast start,” head coach Ryan Brady said. “The second play of the game we dialed up a shot play and Mason McKenzie threw a great ball and Eric Craft made a huge catch and that jumped started us and got us going. From there I thought we controlled the game by running the football. I gave a lot of credit to the offensive line; [they] did a great job.”
