DuHawks are the obvious pre-season #1 for the IIAC. Heard they have some high caliber recruits coming in.

No doubt Duhawk football takes the conference. I guess they have Tom Brady's nephew throwing the ball around for them??

Loras looked great last week. It is tough starting out with the one of the toughest teams in the midwest, not to mention the best in the IIAC. UD is has a superb football program. I don't think discrediting Loras is the issue. We should Credit Dubuque for their football efforts and national attention draw.

I see Loras just lost to UD in their conference opener. Not a bad loss though, saw a lot of good things that will likely bring them to the top of the IIAC in a few weeks. This week's game vs. Simpson should be nothing less than a Win for the Duhawks.

38-14 hawks

Loras looked solid yesterday. Not much else to say. UD is finding a hole to hide in.

Rockford has had a couple D1 athlete transfers to avoid sitting out a year at the higher level. I see why Loras scheduled them, to get used to the quick backfields the IIAC brings week in and week out. There is no other  reason the Duhawks would put them on their schedule. Period.

Good showing for Loras against Elmhurst, but a tough loss, seems it was more like a women's basketball score (24-50). It just cant be easy playing a Chicago land school out of the gates. I'm sure they will tighten things up vs rockford next week.

Duhawks likely to handle the IIAC this year. Not much of a debate. Question we run into is what will they do to people's D3 football brackets come postseason.
