Aurora almost beat IWU, and Hope almost beat IWU in week 1. WLC beat Hope in week 2 in a close game and I would say that this means all of these teams are very similar. CUC will be a tough contest with their offensive firepower as always. The close game for them against IWU is similar to 2 years ago when they lost to IWU by 3 points and eventually won the conference. It will be a great race for the title!

WLC will have its hands full with Hope but it should be a good game, and will come down to who can play the best D in the 4th quarter. A side note #1 from Benedictine is a hell of a player. Why did he transfer from Southern Illinois? Correct me if I'm wrong on the school. I remember him playing two years ago for them and he was a man among boys in the NAC

Just a side note talking about the Cornell Rams. They seem to have found more stability with a coaching staff that has proven success at the collegiate level in the past, and although they have low numbers this year they seem to have a pretty good QB that will help them start to build something. They need to start realizing that a recruiting pitch of we are rebuilding this year isn't going to work because they have been saying that for years. Cornell needs to win some games this year and tell and show these kids that they can be competitive in the IIAC
