GRR: Davenport University
In a matchup that two years ago would have been an exciting Mid-South Conference opener, Davenport will take on Arkansas State in Jonesboro, Ark.
For a final test for the fall, Arkansas State’s 45-7 victory has to be considered an A, as the Red Wolves defeated longtime rival Davenport.
ASU has been working in a group of new players, but also a new coach in the shape of former ASU All American Shaun Potgieter.
“I am growing into the job,” Potgieter told Goff Rugby Report. “And the guys are learning every day.”
Indiana University got tries from Teddy Terezis and Alex Dorrier, and a conversion and two penalty goals from Terezis to help Indiana come back from a 14-3 deficit to beat #7 Davenport 18-17.
Davenport University went 1-1 in two early-season games as they lost to regular rivals Western Ontario and then beat Western Michigan.
