Saginaw Valley State snapped a two-game losing streak by pummeling No. 8 Indianapolis 38-14 on homecoming weekend. Among the topics I covered this week with Cardinals' head coach Ryan Brady:

• Derek Thomason's scoop-6 on a blocked punt to begin the scoring for SVSU.

• Nathan Talaki getting his first sack of the season.

• The numerous SVSU players that are among the GLIAC leaders in sacks this season.

• SVSU's current spot in the conference and how the Cardinals could still be in the race for the championship.

• Facing Wayne State in a pivotal conference road game on Saturday.
