Football is a simple game of blocking and tackling. Here, NFV gets yards on the ground as (l-r) Trey Kuhens (47) and Jesse Mackey (44) blow their opponents off the line. Meanwhile, Brandon Wolfe (55) gets enough of a shoulder on a Viking defender to prevent him from making a tackle as Tanner Kuhens (20) slides through the big hole for some of his 117 yards in Friday’s 28-7 victory in Decorah.
