GRR: Liberty Conference
This was the first big weekend in the Liberty Conference, in both the NCR D1 and D1AA divisions.
D1AAUMass opened their account in impressive fashion with an 88-5 defeat of Niagara. Yale, which had a solid 2024-25 season, beat UConn 24-12.
But perhaps the notable results were Boston College 71-21 over Buffalo, and Babson 42-22 over Columbia.
Opening weekend in the Liberty D1 conference saw one postponement and some muted celebrations as it's early in the year.
Harvard at Iona was postponed. No news yet on a makeup date.

RPI garnered revenge for their earlier loss to Marist, beating the Foxes 33-29 in hte Liberty D2 final.
The victory booked a spot in the NCR D2 playoffs for the Engineers and cruelly left out a very good Marist team, as Liberty only gets the one seed.
UMass and Boston College will meet up in the final of the Liberty Conference DIAA division after UMass won big and BC won small Saturday.
