Wristen’s football program at CSU-Pueblo didn’t exist as early as 2007, when he was hired as coach and given the task of hiring an entire coaching staff and recruiting a brand new class of players. “I’m real lucky to be a part of this. These guys are special. Our defense was outstanding and our offense made the plays they needed to do to win this game,” Wristen said after the game. “We’re here and we finished it. Credit to these kids. That was one heck of a game.” In the second quarter, MSU-Mankato kicker Alden Haffar’s field goal attempt was blocked by CSU-Pueblo defensive end Josh Bredl and recovered by corner- back Stephan Dickens. On the ensuing drive, the scoring opened as ThunderWolves kicker Greg O’Donnell grabbed the lead with a field goal. “That was a big momentum changer. I think right there in that first part of the game, we got going there,” Wristen said. “Any time that our defense helps us get points, you’ve got a chance to win the ball game.” The game’s only touchdown also came in the second quarter, as CSU-Pueblo quarterback Chris Bonner found Paul Browning in the end zone to make it 10-0.

The Lions left the 2017 Division II football national champions, defeating West Florida in a thrilling 37-27 champion- ship game. “That was a fantastic game played by two really good football teams,” Lions head coach Colby Carthel said. “I’m still not really sure we’re the two best teams in Division II, but we’re the two best teams that got it done during the playoffs. “We both had a long hard road through the playoffs to get to this stage. Tonight it was two good teams battling it out and we made a few more plays than they did to pull out the victory.” Carthel took over a program that had a history of losing seasons and turned the Lions into Lone Star Conference champions seemingly over night. West Florida head coach Pete Shinnick had his program sitting on the cusp of a national championship in just its second season. “I’m extremely proud of our guys,” Shinnick said. “Just how they continued to fight and continued to play throughout the course of this season.
