Northern Notebook: Young MSU-N offense feels growing pains

There’s no denying that the Montana State University-Northern Lights are in a slump offensively. And for the second week in a row, the Lights’ offense was kept out of the endzone and out of the uprights.

The Lights followed a shutout loss at Rocky Mountain College on Sept. 12 with an offensive shutout at the hands of the UM-Western Bulldogs Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium.

Needless to say it, wasn’t the homecoming game the Lights were looking for.

Northern gained just five first downs and 109 yards of offense against the Bulldogs Saturday, and there’s no denying, those numbers aren’t very good....
