Second straight road game.

Since there is no betting line on the game, I looked at the current Sagarin ratings. According to his Predictor model, the Dukes would be 28 point favorites on the road vs Valpo. Right now, I would just take the win, even up the record and have the boys start feeling good about themselves.

I agree guys and tough out of conference schedule with this team being probably weakest especially compared to SDSU Dayton and of course Liberty.

Good start on defense and offense. Game on 1320 am WJAS. Sounds like Stewart threw a couple good balls...I think he will do fine this season as long as he makes good decisions

Thanks fjhryn and I think they have excellent coaches but agree with you given how well offense was playing and a new kicker. Most strategic decisions can be argued both ways and a touchdown and 2 point conversion are not easy for VALPO and remember making a 4th and 3 not guaranteed either. Great to win!Jack
