Why To Watch ENMU Vs. Angelo State

  • Records:
    • Eastern New Mexico 2-0
    • Angelo State 0-2
  • Day/Time: Saturday, September 14 at 7:00 p.m. ET
  • Stream link
  1. Ron Craten Is That Dude

    • Through two games, the Eastern New Mexico running back has 311 rushing yards on 42 attempts. Good enough for 7.4 yards per rush. 
    • Craten transferred from Mississippi College and has been unleashed as a senior on this Greyhound squad.
    • Technically listed at fullback, Craten is a 5-foot-11, 222-pound sledgehammer.
  2. Angelo State's Run Defense

    • The Rams had a strong defense in a tough conference last year in the LSC, and so far this year they've done even better. 
    • Through two games, ASU has allowed only 104 rushing yards. That's only 52 yards per game.
    • The team is currently ranked No. 19 in the D2 in rushing defense. Allowing only 1.89 yards per rush.

Why To Watch Ferris State Vs. Ashland

  • Records:
    • Ferris State 1-1
    • Ashland 0-1
  • Day/Time: Saturday, September 14 at 6:00 p.m. ET
  • Stream link
  1. Trinidad Chambliss Breakout Season

    • With no news about the Carson Gulker injury, it's safe to assume that quarterback Trinidad Chambliss will be the guy for the Bulldogs going forward.
    • Ferris State is known for using multiple quarterbacks on gadget plays and RPOs, but no one is as prepared for taking the reins than Chambliss.
    • Chambliss has shown flashes of brilliance already this season. He's accumulated 379 passing yards with a 69.0-percent completion percentage. He also has two rushing touchdowns.
    • Chambliss could do this at any moment.
  2. Ferris State Is A D2 Powerhouse

    • This is a program that has lost five games since 2021 and won back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022.
    • Ferris State beat Lake Erie 56-3 last week.

Why To Watch Western Colorado Vs. West Texas A&M

  • Records:
    • West Texas A&M 1-1
    • Western Colorado 1-0
  • Day/Time: Saturday, September 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET
  • Stream link
  1. Sean Johnson Might Be The Best Running QB In D2

    • Sean Johnson saw limited time at Nebraska-Kearney, but in his first two games at WTAMU he's broken out. 
    • Johnson has 227 rushing yards through two games, good enough for No. 6 in the nation in D2. He's the only quarterback in the top 10 and the only one to have accumulated over 200 yards already. There are only two quarterbacks in the top 20.
    • He had a 50-yard run against Sul Ross in the Buffs first game of the season. 
  2. Western Colorado Is Very Good

    • It's a small sample size, but Western Colorado defeated a good Midwestern State team to open the season, 38-33. 
    • The Mountaineers only allowed 45 rushing yards in the game at 2.4 yards per carry. 
    • Western Colorado went to the Division 2 Playoffs last year, losing to Central Washinginton in overtime in the first round. 
    • They're currently ranked No. 16 in the nation.

Why to Watch UT Permian Basin Vs. Adams State

  • Records:
    • UT Permian Basin 1-1
    • Adams State 0-1
  • Day/Time: Saturday, September 14 at 7:00 p.m. ET
  • Stream link
  1. Dylan Graham Might Be The Next D2 Gunslinger

    • Graham redshirted last season, and played in only nine games for the Falcons before that. This is the first time in his college career that Graham has been able to play regularly, and he's showing out. 
    • Through two games, Graham has thrown for 607 passing yards, five touchdowns and only two interceptions. He's averaging 100 more yards per game than his career best. 
    • He's currently ranked fourth in passing yards in Division 2.
    • He threw this touchdown under pressure in week 1 against Western New Mexico.
  2. This Game Could Be A High-Scoring Blow-Out

    • It's unfortunate, but it feels like Adams State might be outclassed in this game.
    • Adams State played Western New Mexico in their first game and lost 46-36. 
    • Which isn't so bad until you consider that UTPB also played WNMU in their first game (a week prior) and defeated the Mustangs 41-3.

Why To Watch Michigan Tech Vs. Hillsdale

  • Day/Time: Saturday, September 14 at 12:00 p.m. ET
  • Stream link
  1. Wide Receiver Shea Ruddy Has 282 All-Purpose Yards

    • It's early going, but Shea Ruddy put together a monster performance in Hillsdale's first game of the year.
    • The Chargers lost to No. 15 Indianapolis, but Ruddy had 282 all-purpose yards. 
    • Ruddy had 126 receiving yards and a touchdown, and 145 kickoff return yards on five returns, including a 61-yard return.
    • Another reason to watch. Ruddy hasn't returned a punt yet. 
  2. Alex Fries Has Bonkers Numbers

    • He has 718 passing yards through two games, averaging 359 a game
    • Fries has thrown for six touchdowns with only two interceptions.

  3. Michigan Tech Has Played Five Overtimes Already

    • Through two games, the Huskies have essentially played three games.
    • In game 1, in a loss against Bemidji State, the Huskies played one overtime. 
    • However, in game 2, MTU played four overtimes against South Dakota Mines before the Huskies finally won.
