Head coach Chuck Morrell may not have planned to start his era at Montana Tech this way, but he'll definitely take it. Morrell's Diggers won their 2011 opener today, a 50-47 win over Southern Oregon in double overtime.

Tech was paced by freshman running back Pat Hansen, who ran for 178 yards and scored five touchdowns. Hear from Hansen and Morrell as they talk about what it felt like to come through on top in a wild opener.
