The Iowa Conference race looks like it will be up for grabs this season. After just three weeks no conference team is unbeaten and preseason favorites Wartburg and Simpson both opened league play with a loss. Two of the teams that opened with wins matchup this week as Loras visits Central.Loras coach Bob Biere says he’s been in the Iowa Conference since 1986 and he can’t every remember a time when after week three every single team in the conference has one loss. He says the Wartburg loss was a big shocker as was Simpson’s. He says while a number of teams can feel they have a shot at the title the balance also means every week is a test. He says that’s the message he’s giving to his team, you have to climb all eight rungs of the ladder, and climb them one at a time.During a 2-1 start Biere says the Duhawk defense has led the way, as he says so far people have not been able to run the football against them. He says that’ll be tough to maintain against Central.Central is coming off a win over arch-rival Simpson.
