Huntingdon will play faulkner (NAIA Southern conf) this sat night at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Al in the Capital City Show Down

Faulkner was over matched by Samford  (D-1FCS SoCon) last sat night (losing 66-0) .....but they r big

they probably out weigh Huntingdon ~35-45lbs across the line...and that is a conservative estimate

we shall see how it lays out

That's odd since I counted 16 games.

Wow, UW-Oshkosh - a team not really anywhere on the D3 radar - defeats NAIA's #2 Ohio Dominican at their house. This snaps Ohio Dominican's 16 game regular season win streak. Apparently it would have been 17 straight but an illegal participation penalty at the end of the game gave Oshkosh a second chance at the game winning field goal. This would be similar to if UW-Whitewater or Mary Hardin-Baylor lost to a seldom heard of NAIA school.
A packed student section behind an end zone cheering on guys they will actually see in class on Monday is almost as cool as The Streak.

In its season opener last week, UMHB beat Southern Nazarene, which had played its third game.

If you believed NAIA and D3 were similar levels, yeah I guess it would.

We've often maintained that it's so hard to compare Division III as a whole, an entity that contains both the WIAC and the UMAC and a lot in between, to the NAIA, which is less than half D3's size as well as the former home to some top D3 programs.

I'm not sure it does any good to argue about who's better so I avoid it. Let the numbers speak for themselves.

Perhaps made all the more impressive to me today after watching Salisbury, in its third game, tackle a lot better and run its offense a lot more crisply than Christopher Newport, who is plenty talented but was playing its first game.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with that.
