How Ryan Schlichte & Chad Henning Built One of D2 Football’s Most Physical Offenses | Ep. 61

Minnesota State has been one of the most consistent Division II football programs in the country, but the Mavericks are still chasing the one thing that has escaped them: a national championship. On this episode of The Left Hash Call, Seth Howard sits down with Ryan Schlichte, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Minnesota State, and Chad Henning, run game coordinator and offensive line coach, for a deep dive into the identity of Maverick football. The conversation covers Minnesota State’s 2025 playoff run, what it feels like to come up short against a national power like Ferris State, and the internal push to become the first team in program history to win a national title. Schlichte and Henning also break down the Mavericks’ two-quarterback system, how they build a game plan each week, why the offensive line is the heartbeat of the program, and what they look for when recruiting quarterbacks and linemen. And then the episode goes completely off the rails in the best way possible: ranking every NSIC mascot by who would win in a fight. From serious football philosophy to Maverick pride to Green Beaver vs. Red Beaver debates, this one has everything.
