Hey guys,
I'm a huge D3 football fan (Loras-alum and former football team manager), and since the start of the season, I've been spending my entire Saturday afternoons putting together "Iowa College Football Round-Ups" for Around Iowa, the website I write for. I recap each game for all D1, D2, D3, and NAIA teams from Iowa, and do a weekly ranking of the top-25 teams in the state. I thought you guys might find it interesting. At the very least, it's a platform you can use to find all the box scores in one place. Hopefully you'll find it useful!
This is my latest one: https://www.aroundiowa.com/blog/2016/09/college-football-round-up-this-is-what-iowa-gets-for-scheduling-fcs-opponents/. Let me know what you think of my top-25. (It's probably wrong, I don't know too much about the NAIA.)
And yeah, the Loras offense looks miserable. I think Nate Even's graduation was a bigger blow than they imagined it'd be. Doesn't help that their next-best receiver, Josh Schulte, went down for the season with a collar bone. The running game looks fine, but I doubt we're going to see another 700+ yard explosion this season. They're moving the ball OK, they just need to limit turnovers. They would've won their first two games of the season if they didn't shoot themselves in the foot. (Two pick-sixes against Elmhurst in Week 1, lost 28-27; Four turnovers in Aurora territory in Week 2, lost 14-9.) Their defense looks improved, but that Coe game was rough.
