GRR: No name
Quinnipiac's opening two weeks of NIRA competition looked pretty imposing, one the road at Brown and Harvard.
You'd have easily forgiven the Bobcats for losing both of those games, but instead they came away with zero losses. OK, also zero wins as, astonishingly, Quinnipiac tied both games, locking up with Brown 17-17 and then tying the defending champs 20-20 this past Friday night.
The first two weeks of action was relatively quiet but we did get some results that showed us where we have it right, and where we have it wrong.
Expect much more action to come in the next few weeks. But we didn't see anything that blows up the rankings ... not yet. We do expect some significant shifting in the 25-35 rankings.
Lauren Shissler has a job ahead of her.
The Allegheny Conference opened its men’s D2 action this past weekend, getting a bit of a head start on the rest of D2.
Defending national champs IUP opened their conference season with a fairly comfortable 44-12 win over Slippery Rock.
IUP Head Coach Seth Erwin has several returning starters on which to draw so really his lineup decisions were more about tinkering.
As we said in our opening rankings, expect some changes.
