Just out of curiosity I looked at 2015 scores by quarter, and in nearly all MVFC games, we fade. Some examples (numbers are scoring margins by quarter, ie, +3 = YSU outscored opponent by 3 points):
NDSU: +7/+4/+3/-17
WIU: +3/+3/-4/0
SIU: 0/+7/+1/-8/-7 (OT)
SDSU: -5/-7/-4/-14
Definitely a pattern of fizzing out.
