GRR: College Men
In probably the highest,profile Men's D2 college game of the weekend, IUP rode a torrid second half to pull away from Grand Valley State 48-19.
While this was not a conference game for either team, it mattered in terms of how they might be seeded if these teams make the NCR D2 playoffs, which they are expected to do.
St. Bonaventure pulled out a tough win over Queens in Charlotte, NC Saturday, scoring on the final play of the game to come back to win in this ARC conference match in NCR's D1.
Queens got an early try when captain and tighthead prop Roan Shawver ran hard onto a tips pass and was through for a long gallop.
The Adrian College men's program appears to have abandoned its fall season.
Adrian went through some serious problems last season after conflict between the players and the administration led to a number of players walking away from the team, and consequently being stricken from the team's roster.
We have 21 games with ranked teams playing ranked teams.
In D1AA the SCRC, MARC, MAC, Liberty D1AA, and Heart of America are all heating up and we have about 22 major D1AA games.
On NCR D1 we talk about the big games coming up, and we talk about that in the video here:
The search for challenging opposition is real and certainly important for those not fortunate to play in, say, the Great Midwest or the MARC, there is more work to be done to find those challenges.
