GRR: Davenport University
On October 18, 2014 Wheeling Jesuit visited Davenport University and came away 39-10 poorer in a non-league game.
Now, exactly six months later, we’ve got the same matchup at the same field, only this time it’s a DIA quarterfinal playoff game.
The Mid-South DIA college conference continued its string of very close games, with Lindenwood just getting past Davenport 20-16 Saturday in the Charles Labry Memorial match between the two rivals.
The teams were deadlocked 10-10 before two JP Eoff conversions put Davenport up 16-10 at halftime.
The Mid-South continues to live up to ita reputation as a game where anything can happen. Yes, Life University is 2-0 in the conference, but those wins came by three and four points, respectively.
It’s the opening of the small but intense DIA Mid-South Conference, and a clash between Goff Rugby Report’s #1 team, Life University, and the #7 squad, Davenport.
So, basically, it has everything.
Davenport University has been training outside exactly once in the last few months, but it was enough to propel them to an improbable victory over Arkansas State in Jonesboro, Ark. Saturday.
