Men DII College News
Three all-tournament teams were named for the NCR Small-College and D2 championships.
Thomas More's road to a Men's DII National Championship was a story like that of many teams; they didn't know what they had at the beginning of the season, they didn't know how they matched up, and at a critical period in the season games were hard to come by.
Thomas More is in the Men’s D2 college final after beating Northern Iowa 73-20 in Friday’s semifinal at Aveva Stadium in Houston.
It was a game that Thomas More took control of early.
“The guys played the game plan and it was about communication more than anything else,” said Thomas More Head Coach John Fox. “Talk, work together, be in support.”
The final four men's D2 college teams got to Houston in several different ways.
What is still a relatively inexperienced Auburn Tigers team defeated Montana State 31-12 Saturday to win the CRAA Men's DII title at the CRAA Fall Classic Saturday.
Auburn brought a fast-paced rush defense to the party and it was that approach, coupled with their ability to make that all-important first tackle, that ultimately won the game for the Tigers.
