GRR: Liberty Conference
Here's a rundown of some of the DIA and DIAA games around the nation.
Big 10Two of the top teams in the Big 10 faced off with Indiana vs Ohio State.
This was a rematch of last fall’s conference final, which was won in a tight game by Ohio State. This time around Indiana took the matchup 30-17.
AIC won in impressive fashion over Nazareth to move to 4-0 in the Liberty Conference D1 level.
It continues to be a solid season for the Yellow Jackets and while they have won some games in close circumstances, they won this one by 26.
AIC, Brown, and Fairfield are on top of the Liberty D1 Conference as all three won this week.
Fairfield pulled off what can fairly be described as an upset, beating Iona 41-20 in Liberty Conference D1 play.
Iona played well early on and led 20-17 despite struggling to get much possession. But their discipline and patience wore thing in the second half.
The Liberty Conference enters a bit of a new phase with a two-tiered competition and perhaps we will see some teams put their hands up as being potentially a Tier 1 even if they're now in Tier 2.
It will be a bit of a struggle as the division is partly based on school support, with the Tier 2 really being a Tier 2 Club. But it's possible.
