The biggest game of the MIAC football season is Saturday in Collegeville.

From the viewpoint of this layman, the objective on Saturday was to control the time of possession and limit the high-flying Augsburg offense, while taking advantage of mismatches in their defensive scheme and putting points on the board in nearly every opportunity. Mission accomplished! The Johnnies scored on their first seven possessions and limited the [...]
