The game was the MIAC opener for both teams. Tory Langemo got the scoring off to an early start with a 69 yard TD on a pass from Ethan Pole with 10:47 left in the first quarter.

Gustavus Gameday Preview:

Gustavus SID)
The Gustavus football team welcomes
Concordia College to Lloyd Hollingsworth Field on Saturday, September 13
for the 2003 MIAC opener for both squads. The Gusties will be attempting
to rebound from last week's 37-34 heartbreaking double overtime setback
at Buena Vista. The Cobbers defeated MSU-Moorhead 42-28 Saturday and are
riding a three-game winning streak that dates back to last season.
When these two teams met a year ago in Moorhead, Concordia edged the Gusties 20-14. With the scoreboard knotted up at 13 points apiece midway through the fourth quarter, Cobber quarterback Ryan Hebrink ran for a six-yard touchdown to reclaim the lead for the maroon and gold after Gustavus had rallied from a 14-0 deficit to tie the score. Concordia controlled the line of scrimmage that day, out-rushing Gustavus 237-84. The Cobbers also had nearly an eight-minute edge in time of possession.
A Glimpse of the Gusties: Gustavus was edged 37-34 in double overtime by Buena Vista last weekend to begin the 2003 season. The Gusties and Beavers entered overtime tied at 24-24. After the two squads traded touchdowns in the first overtime period, Gustavus was forced to settle for a 32-yard Kase Niles field goal to take a 34-31 lead in the second overtime. The Gustie defense was unable to keep Buena Vista from scoring as the Beavers hooked up for a 14-yard touchdown pass in the back corner of the end zone to claim the three-point non-conference victory. Quarterback Sean Smith ended the afternoon 25-of-43 through the air for 232 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Drew Stifter led the Gustavus ground attack with a career-high 98 yards on 24 carriers. Invert Tyler Vrieze had an impressive outing, recording a team-best 11 tackles. He also returned a fumble 30 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter to give the Gusties a 14-0 lead.
Gustavus, which has posted a winning season each of the past six years, enters the conference portion of its schedule with 28 letterwinners and nine starters returning from last year's squad. With last year's leading receiver, rusher, and tackler and five all-conference players total lost to graduation, the Gusties will be relying upon fresh talent to fill numerous holes on the field.
Offensively, the Gusties will rely on the right arm of senior quarterback Sean Smith who set the single season school record for highest completion percentage last year, and the experience of an offensive line that returns three starters from last year. Coach Jud Keim's defense brings back four starters and numerous letterwinners from a unit that gave up the third fewest points in the conference a year ago.
