Fun stat I found today - Bethel is No. 1 in country in 3rd down defense %, 18.2, also No. 2 for Red Zone defense. Recipe for success right there.

Listening to the ATN podcast, I found it interesting that a condition Macalester had when rejoining the MIAC was that they would not regularly face St John's in football. I looked at the series history and the two teams last played on October 2001 back when I was still in college. Macalaster's last win in the series came in 1968. Does St John's shutout Macalester for their fourth shutout of the season? Looking at stats for all levels of college football, St John's is leading all levels in scoring defense despite the points Bethel scored in Saturday's loss.

Schools like Mac need to decide if their going to actually support a football program. My bet is they drop the program within 5 years.
