Our first game in over a year!

Our football team has not gotten to play against competition aside from ourselves since Nov. 30 of 2019 against Ferris State in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Ever since then we have been working toward another playoff run. On April 17th we have been given the opportunity to play against Augustana on our field in a scrimmage formatted game. This should be some good competition for us to get our feet wet again. In their last season, 2019, they had a record of 6-4 and made a playoff appearance. That year they were seeded 10th and we were seeded third in the nation. Even though we had a better record and was seeded higher, a lot can change in over a year. For example, we have lost five all conference players and two All-American players. I am sure that they have also lost some talented players with the whole Covid-19 situation too. We have yet to start scouting them, so I am unsure of the talent that they have. The week of the game is going to be when we start scouting our opponent to see what type of schemes that will work best against them. One thing I do know as of right now is that we have a talented team and should win this game. Although winning will not give us a chance at the playoffs, it will still feel good to play against someone besides our own team. I hope that there is a huge turnout of people in the crowd that have missed watching us play just as much as we've missed playing.

In my next blog I will be giving the details of the scrimmage! Come back and find out what we will be doing.
