I apologize in advance. Due to the extra write up yesterday and life stuff I will not have game by game breakdowns or recaps this week. Overall it was obviously a very big week for the Jacks. USD had a bad upset and drops a spot in the race to UND, and the Trees were also impressive. This week all eyes will be in Missoula as the Fighting Hawks and Griz square off in another hotly contested MVFC vs Big Sky match up. I’m going to try to catch as much of that one as I can live between tailgating and the Jacks game. However, an underrated game I am going to keep close watch on is Southern Illinois at UT Martin. UT Martin has been a consistent playoff game the last few years and will be a very good road test early for what many think will be a Valley Contending SIU team. Numbers and win charts below as always.
