OSU will remain playing a Big 10 schedule, but with the Big 10 being the last remaining top-division conference in which some members are CRAA and some are NCR, there certainly has been some difficulty in keeping all of that together.
Lindenwood Settles In to Beat Arkansas State
The Midwest Conference is back in action with Lindenwood taking on Arkansas State in Jonesboro, Ark. Saturday.
Lindenwood overcame some early stiffness to pulled away in the middle chunk of the match and win 45-25.
The Lions, said Head Coach Josh Macy, needed a little time to get things right on defense and in their set piece.
Midwest and East Coast Get Going in D1A
You kind of feel like there’s something heating up as more teams outside of California get active.
The notable game outside of the West is most certainly Lindenwood traveling to Jonesboro, Ark. to face Arkansas State.
They don’t ease into it, do they?
