Reading the Dickinson Press' Dustin Monke talk about the Badlands Bowl, I got a little football fever and decided to do some investigating on it.
Jason White, a former quarterback for the University of Oklahoma who won the Heismann Trophy in 2003, is going to be a guest speaker at the camp. Great pick. White tore ACLs in both knees (requiring surgery in both legs), but showed a resilient nature and came back to be the Sooners' all-time leader in career passing yards and career touchdown passes.
North Dakota won the 2007 Badlands Bowl 30-21, giving the state wins in two of the last three years. However, Montana owned the series from 1997-2004 winning by an average of 35-6.9 which included a pair of shutout victories.
Last year's game was won in the trenches when North Dakota got 69 yards rushing from Catlin Solum and 36 yards from Joey Dawson. Meanwhile Montana's leading rusher was Zach McRae, who posted 12 yards on five attempts. Montana did do a bit of damage through the air as McRae was 18-for-24, finishing with 276 yards passing. He hit five different receivers in the game, including completing seven passes to Christian Prosperie for 80 yards while Derryk VanZee had five catches totaling 90 yards. ND countered with Brandon Larson, who's 7 of 15 day through the air resulted in 129 yards.
This year's game will be played in Miles City, Mont., at Denton Field.
If you want to get some more information on the Badlands Bowl, including this year's rosters, how to order tickets, more historical data, a copy of last year's game, etc., give their website a click.
Good luck North Dakota!!
