FB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

Had to turn off the Lakeland - UW Platteville game. Lakeland looks like they've never played football before.

[WLCALUM83]

There's been a long delay. One Muskie player must have been seriously hurt. Several players were taking a knee with their teammate down after being injured. Defensive back Trell Randle is being loaded into an ambulance and taken off the field. . . play has resumed. It's late in the 2nd Quarter.

I hope the young man is okay and has a speedy recovery!

Week 1 NACC Scores

(8/31)UW-Platteville 80 Lakeland 13: Hearing from the person who announces the game (I follow them on X/Twitter) the Muskies played well, just the game snowballed on them.

(8/31)Beloit 34 Rockford 27: Plenty of season left but I don't really see a game where Rockford is favored in outside of this one.

St. Norbert 23 Ripon 7: Green Knights grinded out a win over a traditionally solid Redhawk team.

Greenville 41 Concordia (Ill) 14: Cougs were dominated most of the game.

Concordia (Wis) 55 Martin Luther 14: Falcons had very little issue dispatching the Knights.

Eureka 41 Knox 16: Red Devils went wire to wire on the Prairie Fire.

Loras 42 Benedictine 41: Eagles fall in a nailbiter in Iowa.

Lake Forest 24 Wisconsin Lutheran 0: Better result than last year for the Warriors but offense was silent tonight.

#20 Aurora 38 Hope 17: Spartans overcome slow start, roll past a fiesty Hope team.

SNC started slow, certainly on offense.

Ripon had some offense success early, especially passing but could not keep it up.

SNC better in the second half. Don't think Ripon had a drive longer than 20 yards. SNC had 8 sacks or so on the day.

SNC finally used good field position to turn into points

That 21 of the last 23 for SNC against Ripon

SNC's defense showed out. I think they are the most likely contenders for AU. BU's O looked good, but their D gives up too much to keep pace with Aurora's offense.

Aurora/CUC
Rockford/St. Norbert
Lakeland/WLC
Benedictine/CUW

All on deck:

[WLCALUM83]

Final:  CUW 28, Benedictine 0 (Falcons get their 2nd in-NACC shutout win).

Final:  St. Norbert 58, Rockford 6 (scorigami?)

Final:  Aurora 91, CUC 0 (scorigami #2?)

Final:  WLC 34, Lakeland 14  (Warriors score 27 unanswered points; also had 4 pass interceptions on the day). This was probably the tightest game in the NACC today.

I knew this Aurora team was good, but wow. Hopefully they keep rolling!

CUC gets off the schneid with an exciting 28-27 win v Eureka. Cougars score two TDs in the fourth including the go ahead with under a minute remaining, then survive last second FG attempt by Red Devils. Well deserved for the home fans after sitting through the Aurora debacle two weeks ago!

[Rhythm21]

Aurora vs CUW in a defacto NACC championship game next Saturday. Aurora looking for a 5-peat, CUW hoping for maybe the biggest "championship" upset the conference has ever seen. I have AU getting their 5th straight 63-14. Also, if AU wins, would CUW be the NACC selection for the Cousins Subs Lakefront Bowl, or would St. Norbert (with a win next weekend) jump them?

[WLCALUM83]

Interesting question, given the Green Knights knocked off the Falcons in OT head to head.

This is where St. Norbert's loss to Eureka hurts a bit.

WLC gets a bye and finishes 5-5 on the year--to think the Warriors had St. Norbert on the ropes late, until a Green Knight last minute TD gave them the win. Thought the Warrior/Benedictine game would have at least been tighter as well, but the Warriors have nothing to be ashamed of.

Would love to see Illinois College travel to AU next week. Might set a record for most passes thrown in a game.

[WLCALUM83]

Aurora/CUW 1st quarter was scoreless, but Spartans have just drawn first blood early in the 2nd on a rushing TD-

St. Norbert/Benedictine later.

[WLCALUM83]

Spartans tack on a late 2nd quarterr FG-now 10-0 over CUW at the half.

St. Norbert/Benedictine about to get underway.
