Monmouth 1-AA hopes

Here is the list we had earlier this week on teams MU probably needed to lose to boost their 1-AA hopes:

UNH (7-3) to Maine (6-4)
Coastal Carolina (8-2) to Charleston Southern (9-1)
Montana State (7-3) to Montana (9-1)
S. Illinois (7-3) to S. Utah (3-7)
Illinois State (8-2) to Northern Iowa (6-4)
Eastern Ill. ((7-4) to Jacksonville State (6-4)

and here's what happened

UNH won, 19-13
Coast Car. beat Charls Southern, 31-17
Mont State LOST to Montana, 13-7
Southern Ill beat S. Utah, 39-0
Ill State LOST to Northern Iowa, 38-27
Eastern Ill beat Jacks State, 28-24

Bottom line..only two of those five teams lost... doesn't help MU all that much I would think. My guess is, Gridiron Classic vs. USD.

Field announced Sunday on ESPNnews around 130 p.m....but tune it at 1 pm just to be safe....

That's (GC) fine by me. Should be a good game....
