Portland State @ Northern Arizona

[JALMOND]

Kickoff shortly. Portland State comes into Skydome on the campus of Northern Arizona fresh off the big win last week against Eastern Washington and the record setting performance of Drew Hubel. Hubel will get the start today against the Jacks. NAU comes in with the only loss to Pac-10 Arizona State and off of a big win against Sacramento State last week.

aided by personal foul penalty on NAU Delotbi (pretty blatant per PSU announcers) that had Glanville all over the officials. Interesting to see what the conference offices have to say about it.

Hubel get pulled?

[JALMOND]

Hubel get pulled?

Howland came into the game midway through the 2nd. Howland and Hubel grade out pretty close every week so there is not much of a dropoff. Hubel much of a dropback QB and Howland is supposed to be more mobile. NAU blitzing almost every play so Howland's mobility is helping.

[JALMOND]

NAU---DeHaze 37 yd FG good

Collins in now for PSU at QB. PSU playing some reserves. NAU still has regulars in. Might be out of necessity (due to elevation).
