Week 9 Tuesday is here

N. Minicucci threw 5TD passes last week against MOSO. I don't think he repeats that at WKU(2-1) tonight for DEL(1-2). WKU 20 DEL 17

Liberty and  JaxSt are each  3-0 atop the USA standings.

N. Minicucci threw 5TD

10/28/26

Maybe it's because ULM  beat Troy by scoring 18 points inside the final 3 minutes of the game last week, I'll go with ULM 20 USM 17

11/1/26

Bison took care of UTEP 31-7 . N.Hayes had a solid game
