A busy couple of weeks to open season

The past two weeks have been busy for our program. We have played two games, winning the first one at home 24-19 over Menlo College, and losing on the road last week 28-10 vs Missouri-Rolla. The trip to Rolla was a long one, 11 hours on a bus. The team played well after spotting them a 21 point lead, which is too much when playing a good team on the road. Missouri-Rolla has somewhere around 35 full ride scholarships, but we played them very competitively and look forward to the rematch next fall at home.

This week has found our team working hard on fundamentals in practice, and enjoying the bye week, as we have this week off. Team pictures today, practice at 6am Friday morning, then the team has off on Saturday and Sunday, back to work on Monday.

We are looking forward to our trip to Spokane, Wash, next weekend to play Whitworth College, a team that was ranked 16th in the country going into last weekend.

Thank you for your support. We hope to see you at our next home game on Sept. 29th, vs UW-Platteville, which is our Hall of Fame game, at 1:00pm. Former football player Mike Wilson will be a member of our Blue Devil Football family going into the Hall this year.
