Playing with a lead, check. Putting the opponent away, check.
All systems are go for launch.
The Minot State University Beavers passed inspection Saturday with a 40-10 romp over Black Hills State, showing that they are capable of reaching new heights on their journey throughout the remainder of their Dakota Athletic Conference schedule. And to make things even better for Minot State, the big plays came from many different places. Defensive back Cameron Trudell gave the Beaver defense its first points of the year by returning a fumble for a touchdown. Even the special teams got in on the act. Take, for example, Mike Klein and his 90-yard kickoff return following the only Black Hills touchdown of the day.
