… and sail into the air …
… for SOU football player Josh Leff to dive …
… for the football …
… and recover it for the SOU Raiders.

Panorama of Raider Stadium in autumn
Yesterday the Raiders found out that Rocky Mountain College will be forced to forfeit their prior victory against SOU due to an ineligible player when RMC squeaked out their 35-30 win back in August. RMC is appealing the verdict, but barring a change this means that SOU moves to 5-1 in the conference with a head-to-head matchup against the other 5-1 team (#7 ranked Carroll of Helena, Montana) in less than two weeks.
Melvin Mason turns the corner on his way for a touchdown against Montana Northern
The Southern Oregon University football team is back in the polls for the first time since narrowly losing each of their first three games of the season. They beat #18 Montana Northern with ease this past Saturday for their fourth win in a row to earn a #22 ranking in this week’s poll. They have four more games to crack the top 16 in order to be assured a post-season game (or more) in the NAIA Championship Series.
Austin Dodge was named NAIA (and Frontier Conference) Player of the Week (again).
Montana State-Northern will be playing in the shadow of Grizzly Peak this afternoon
The SOU Raiders will be hosting the #18 team in the country today. A victory for the Raiders will put them in the Top 25. The weather will be perfect. Come on out to Raider Stadium, and bring your kids. If they are 12 and under, they will get in for free.
Chuck Mills (1980-1988) and Craig Howard (2011-current)
Southern Oregon University Head Football Coaches
Last Saturday morning was the 2013 SOU Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Coach Mills is already in the Raider Hall of Fame as the coach of the 1983 Football Team. Coach Howard has the best winning percentage of any SOU football coach, but this is only his third season at the helm.
Touchdown Grizzlies!
Tonight the Grizzlies will play their second-to-last regular season home game in Ashland. With an undefeated record, they may have already played their toughest opponent (before the Oregon State Playoffs next month) in the game where I took today’s photo. Today’s pic comes from their win over Springfield a couple weeks ago.
It’s Monday morning and time to get fired up for classes at Southern Oregon University.
After Austin Dodge escaped from the clutches of an Oredigger, he threw his first touchdown pass of the day (10/5/13)
Yesterday Austin Dodge broke the SOU Raiders touchdown passing record by throwing eight of them. He held the prior record of six (set last season) along with the current University of Oregon coach, Mark Helfrich.
Colin Amsler drops back to punt, but begins to run with the ball instead.
He broke a couple near tackles in the process.
Colin Amsler put a few moves on as he headed down the field…
…before finally getting hit and going head…
… over heals for a 16-yard gain and a Raider first down.
The Southern Oregon University Football Team won yesterday’s contest against Montana Tech 59-32.
