Roosevelt comes off a strong performance in a 14-24 loss to Wisconsin Whitewater , believe this game won’t be an absolute push over. But I do not think their offense will be able to move the ball against the Beacons.

200+ rushing yards and good defense leads to a 

 

24-7 Beacons win!

This should be a quick an easy win, but as we have seen with CFB this year, nothing can come quick and easy

Beacs - 27

Roosevelt -20

UW-Whitewater is currently rated the #3 D-III team in the country. Roosevelt hanging with them for most of the game suggests it will be tougher than originally thought.  So that 27-20 prediction is a good one.

I would also add that Roosevelt is a NCAA DII program. So, all four 2024 OOC opponents are scholarship programs. I might be wrong, but I think that may be a first. 

The motivation has got to be there. A win evens the record at 2-2 going into the PFL schedule. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ok Valpo, you guys say you’re a Div 1 football program. This is a ham and egger game. Show you are a D1 program instead of one in name only. Walk the walk.  

Valpo 41, Roosevelt 7.

@usc4valpo No, not a ham and egger.   A 14 point winning margin is a reasonable expectation against a NCAA DII scholly program, but a 34 point margin is not.

Last season we barely beat another DII program, SWMinnesota State 16-15. Don’t sell DII short.

Ok 62, I get it, but we need to quit thinking Valpo is true D1 program when we operate like we’re D3. Roosevelt should be an ham and egger in reality.
