You won’t hear the Northern Arizona football team this week throwing around cliches like “trap game� or the typical uttering from coaches about overlooking an opponent. But those thoughts have to be there at least a little bit in the back of the players� and coaches� minds.
The Lumberjacks sit at 6-4 (4-2 Big Sky) and are riding their first three-game winning streak since 2017. A victory this Saturday at Northern Colorado would push that run to four games and ensure the team’s first winning record since that same 2017 season.
