Rush defense - Chris Ware can run. The Eastern Oregon sophomore quarterback led his squad with 107 yards on just 10 carries, finishing with a touchdown on a 65-yard run. In the final regular season game, the Saints allowed their first rushing touchdown of the year. They ended up giving up two as the Mounties averaged 7.3 yards per carry.

Grade: C

Pass defense - There was nobody around Mike Corral, who planted himself on the end zone and waited for the 46-yard pass from Ware, bringing the Mounties within 11 points late in the game. While an example of some bad coverage, the Saints defense held Ware to 23-of-53 passing (43 percent) for 292 yards. Carroll junior Pat Regan broke up many of those incompletions as he batted the ball away in the end zone, along the sidelines and everywhere around the field.

Grade: C-

Rush offense - The Saints averaged 3.18 yards per carry and finished with 159, much less than they're used to, but more than most teams can rack up when everything is going to the air. Gabe Le, John Camino and Chance Demarais all scored a TD.

Grade: B+

Pass offense - Wagner completed 22-of-29 passes (76 percent) for 391 yards, four TDs and an interception. Peterson returned to the field to deliver three TDs on four catches, but some sort of award needs to be sent to Bubba Bartlett for silently destroying the Mountaineers defense. He had 11 catches for 123 yards and kept drives alive without getting much of the glory.

Grade: A.

Special teams - Matt Ritter is getting better each week when it comes to returns and Tom Yaremko returned to boot some big kickoffs, though it took a little while for him to warm up. One shanked punt hurts the Saints, who didn't have to worry about field goals, but did go perfect on PATs, which shouldn't be as surprising as it is.

Grade: B.
