Buena Vista will try to remain unbeaten in the Iowa Conference football race when the Beavers entertain Luther on Saturday. BV is 4-0 in the league race while the Norse are 2-1. Luther coach Mike Durnin says an early key for his team has been turnover margin. The Norse are a plus-7 in that category.

Durnin says that’s a critical factor that they look at every week, because it goes a long way in dictating how well they do in the win column. With a victory the Norse will climb into title contention. Durnin says that’s exciting to the players, because they see opportunity in front of them.

Durnin says Buena Vista will be tough to beat. He says they have found a way to win and their players are playing hard and playing inspired football. He says the unsung part of the team is their defense. Luther is 3-2 overall. Buena Vista is 4-1.
