is also sacks 12th nationally in sacks (4.00 per game) and 18th in tackles for loss (8.67 per game). Sophomore Lance Rongstad is 17th in punt returns with 15.43 yards per game. SCORING STREAK SNAPPED AT 133With a 24-6 victory at Minot State to start the 2010 season, the Beavers have now scored in 133 consecutive games. The last time BSU was held without a single point was Nov. 8, 1997 when Minnesota Duluth defeated BSU 41-0.
BALL HOGSBemidji State finished last season tops in the NSIC in time of possession, leading the category in nine of its 11 games. The Beavers currently hold a 32:05-27:55 advantage this season after three games of play that ranks fifth in the NSIC.
KEEP ‘EM UNDER 100The Bemidji State defense has been hard on opposing rushing attacks for the past four seasons. Despite allowing 235 yards versus Minnesota Duluth Oct. 24, 2009, the Beavers managed to keep their opponents to an average of just 81.2 yards per game to rank 7th in all of NCAA Division II in 2009. In 2009 the Beavers went 8-1 when holding their opponent under 100 yards and since 1999, BSU is 41-8 when allowing fewer than 100 rushing yards. UMD’s Isaac Odim is the only running back to gain over 100 yards versus BSU since Oct. 18, 2008 (139 in 2009 and 106 in 2010). The Beavers started the 2010 campaign on the right foot, knocking the Minot State running game backwards -10 yards and then holding Augustana to 63 yards rushing, following that performance with a stingy 31 yards rushing against Southwest Minnesota State..
BEAVERS VERSUS RANKED OPPONENTSIn 2009, BSU faced four nationally-ranked opponents marking the first time the Beavers have bat-tled four of the American Football Coaches Association’s (AFCA) top 25 teams in the same season. Bemidji State was 2-2 versus ranked opponents in 2009 dropping Winona State Oct. 12, then-ranked 20th and earning a 21-10 victory versus No. 14 Wayne State (Neb.) Oct. 10. The Bea-vers missed a 4-0 mark versus nationally-ranked by the narrowest of margins. BSU battled No. 10 Minnesota State to overtime Sept. 5 before falling to the Mavericks 37-34 and dropped a one-point game, 35-34, to No. 7 Minnesota Duluth Oct. 24. In 2010, BSU has the Bulldogs who are ranked No. 2 in the AFCA poll heading into the match-up. Augustana has found its way in the top 25 in the AFCA and DII Football polls after defeated Bemidji State 10-0 Sept. 11.
EDHOLM CLIMBS BSU TD PASS LISTMatching a career-best five touchdown passes Oct. 24, Derek Edholm surpassed Ben Morie (1998-99) to claim the No. 4 spot in the Beavers’ all-time touchdown passes list. With 44 career TDs, he currently sits two scoring strikes behind Jason Smith (46/2000-03) and seven behind BSU’s all-time leaders Geoff Martinson (51/1998-2001) and Nathan Sannes (51/2001-05). His 2009 25 TD passes tied for third on BSU’s single-season list. Sannes sits atop the list with 27 TD passes in 2005.
WE’RE GOIN’ STREAKIN’Derek Edholm capped off the 2009 campaign throwing at least one TD in each of the Beavers’ last nine games. He continued the streak to start the 2010 campain throwing a 62-yard TD to Adam Berg in the first quarter against Minot State, but it ended at 10 in the 10-0 loss to Augustana Col-lege Sept. 11. Running back Dustin Kroeplin also scored a TD in each of the Beavers’ last nine games. During that stretch he posted 10 touchdowns, running eight in and catching two more. He did not play against Minot State and ended the streak in the loss to Augie.
COACHING MILESTONES FOR TESCHIn his 15th season, BSU head coach Jeff Tesch has accumulated almost every coaching record at BSU. On Oct. 31, 2009 he accomplished two more feats. He posted his 90th career win. Ironically, it came in his 150th game coached at BSU.
PICK-HAPPYIn the Beavers’ final four games of 2009 they totaled nine interceptions, which include three versus Minnesota-Crookston Oct. 17 and three versus U-Mary Oct. 31. BSU failed to get a pick against Minot State (Aug. 26), but started a new streak against Augustana College when freshman Chris Bellinger intercepted a pass in the end zone and continued it against Southwest Minnesota State with two picks by junior Dusty Sluzewicz. He ranks t-21st in the NCAA national statistics with .67 interceptions per game.
AIR ATTACKFor a team that posted 19 of its first 29 touchdowns of 2009 via the run, BSU settled into a pretty potent air attack over its last four weeks of 2009 and a lot of that is thanks to Derek Edholm. In his last four games, he thew for 933 yards and 15 touchdowns on 63-of-101 (62.4-percent) while letting go of just one interception. Oct. 24 he posted a career-high 391 yards through the air to rank fifth on the Beavers’ single-game passing yardage list.
