GRR: Indiana University
Furman University logged a notable result Saturday in a non-conference game, as the DII program tied top DI team Indiana 41-41.
The game was a scrimmage and both teams subbed liberally, but this same meeting two years ago resulted in an 88-5 result for IU. So the improvement, following on a Furman victory over a University of South Carolina squad, is noticeable.
In a day of tight, thrilling games, Indiana held off Kutztown University 38-34 in a clash of GRR’s #2 and #5.
The game had everything - physical defense, a variety of tactics, exciting plays, and a dramatic ending.
Indiana University defeated Ohio State 34-14 to win the Big Ten Universities Conference Saturday in Rockford, Ill.
The teams battled in a tight contest where Ohio State tried to assert their dominance in the forwards, and Indiana tried burn the Buckeyes on the outside. And this is how the two teams stayed deadlocked, 14-14 at halftime.
Indiana takes on Ohio State in a championship weekend in the BTU Conference that includes final matches for everybody.
IU is undefeated, 6-0 with a points-against average of less than ten points a game. Their offense has been impressive, with try-scorers all over the field, and yet they struggled to score against Wisconsin in last week's semi. They won, sure, but only 20-13.
The Big Ten championship game will be between Indiana and Ohio State, after both teams won very difficult games Saturday.
