SETTING THE SCENE: Southwest Minnesota State University (3-7, 3-6 NSIC, 1-4 NSIC South) concludes the 2011 season on Saturday, Nov. 12, facing Concordia University, St. Paul (5-5, 4-5 NSIC, 2-3 NSIC South) in a Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference South Division match-up at the Metrodome in Minneapolis with kickoff slated for 5 p.m.  This will be the third time the two teams have played in the Metrodome, but the first time since 2002.

The game was originally schedule to be played at CU's Sea Foam Stadium, but the Golden Bears home field has a dome that can be inflated and the decision was made to move the game to provide flexibility in the event of an early snowfall.   

The SMSU punt team begins the week ranked No. 3 in the country in net punting (39.0).  Sophomore punter Mike Wenk has a 43.6-yard punt average, which would rank No. 6 in the country, but he does not meet the minimum punts per game to qualify.  The minimum is 3.6 per game and Wenk has punted an average of 3.3 per game.  SMSU quarterback Tyler Peschong ranks 36th in the country in total offense (258.1), while running back Warren Matthews ranks 30th in all-purpose yardage (143.3).
