They'll have to do the same if not better against the Buffaloes, 1-3 overall and 1-1 in the D-SC, who come also needed a win after being walloped by St. Croix Central last week.
Nick Van Vleet is Mondovi's leading ground gainer with over 400 yards rushing in four games. he's second in the D-SC in rushing. The Buffs’ Ian Scott is third in the D-SC in passing yardage with 273 and four touchdowns.
