Bowling Green Downs Ohio State
Bowling Green defeated Ohio State in one of the longest continuously played rivalries in the Midwest, if not the United States; the series kicked off in 1968 when BG defeated OSU 5-3 in the Falcons' first ever match.
The Falcon ruggers beat Ohio State 26-16 this time around, marking BGSU's seventh straight victory over the Buckeyes.
WJU Downs Lindenwood-Belleville
Wheeling Jesuit opened up the Tom Duffy era with a 30-14 defeat of Lindenwood-Belleville in a key non-conference game for both programs.
Lindenwood-Belleville, which had opened up its independent schedule with a win over Tennessee, looked fairly strong in the first half.
Rutgers Edges Delaware
Rutgers upended Delaware Friday night in a non-conference clash for both teams.
The result, a 15-12 victory for Rutgers, was perhaps a little bit of a surprise, and either a wakeup call for the Blue Hens, a signal that Rutgers is one the rise, or perhaps both.
Notre Dame College Beats Navy
Notre Dame College used defensive pressure to stymie a tough US Naval Academy side and come away with an impressive 27-8 victory over the Midshipmen in South Euclid, Ohio Saturday.
