GRR: IUP
The Allegheny Conference opened its men’s D2 action this past weekend, getting a bit of a head start on the rest of D2.
Defending national champs IUP opened their conference season with a fairly comfortable 44-12 win over Slippery Rock.
IUP Head Coach Seth Erwin has several returning starters on which to draw so really his lineup decisions were more about tinkering.
It was a weekend of comebacks and IUP capped it all of with a little comeback of their own to win the Men’s DII NCR championship Sunday in Houston.
The men's DII college championships, regardless of who has run them, have been fraught with caveats over the last several years.

Great MidwestNorthern Iowa continued its astonishing run of results, beating Wisconsin-Whitewater 93-5 in the Great Midwest final.
This past weekend we stopped by IUP to watch them play Wester Virginia, a game the Crimson Hawks won 52-3.
For various reasons (it was cold and wet, I had a three-hour drive after the game) I didn't write a detailed game report, so instead I thought I would approach this a little differently and tell you why IUP is ranked #1 among D2 teams right now.
