GRR: No name
About 11 conferences take the field in men's D2 college action this week.
It seems like we have a fairly wide open Great Midwest, which remains one of the most robust D2 conferences.
We've got Northern Iowa at Wisconsin-Whirewater this weekend, and that could easily be the conference final when the dust settles.
USA vs Samoa Saturday is potentially a study in contrasts.
The USA will be looking to leverage an expected superiority in set piece and strong defense against a Samoan team that is elusive and adventurous.
USA vs Samoa KO 3AM Saturday, Sept. 21 on Peacock
We’ve been looking at the stats:
Over 40 men's D1-level college games are on the slate this week.
We have five non-standings games within NIRA this week, with Oxford University coming to the Northeast to play Harvard and West Point.
Oxford is in-country right now and will train at Harvard Friday before playing the Crimson on Saturday. They then play West Point on Wednesday and the US Naval Academy next Friday.
Mount St. Mary's is looking to make a surge into the upper echelon of the Rugby East and D1A, and they have an impressive, but young, team with which to do it.
