GRR: Northern Michigan
It's still early days in the Great Midwest but a couple of teams are making their presence known.
For Northern Michigan, this was a big weekend as they held off Wisconsin-Platteville 20-15. It was a tough game for sure, and a defensive one.
The University of Minnesota-Duluth opened up a new season in a new conference with a very impressive 65-19 defeat of Northern Michigan.
Wisconsin-Whitewater continues to dominate in the WIIL, posting big scores including a rout of a very tough Wisconsin-Milwaukee last week.
The Warhawks also hammered Marquette, and, this weekend, shut out UW-Platteville 100-0.
In a weekend of dramatic DII college games, one of the most dramatic was Northern Michigan’s 27-24 overtime defeat of Illinois State.
For NMU, it was a breakthrough game as it put the Moosemen in with an excellent chance of making the national playoffs. This from a team that was 1-5 last season.
