Other games this weekend: Week 3 of College Football

Iowa State is off to a 2-0 start after beating in-state programs, UNI and Iowa at home. Now, the Cyclones take to the road for a Big 12-Big East BCS match up with UConn. How will Paul Rhoads' team adjust to a road environment? A win would set up a nice 3-0 mark heading into Big 12 play.

Toledo played Ohio State strong in Week 2. Boise State is the strongest non-BCS program in the FBS this year. This could be an interesting game, if Toledo can keep there emotions in check and step up to another solid opponent. Will they close, unlike Week 2 in Columbus?

Tonight, the Washington Warriors host Dubuque Wahlert at Kingston Stadium on Homecoming weekend. The Warriors fell victims to Kennedy last weekend 28-41. So, will they rebound at home this week?

#5 Warriors beat #3 Tigers at Kingston (nicely improved Kingston at that)!

The Cedar Rapids Warriors (1-0), ranked #5, defeated the #3 Cedar Falls Tigers (0-1) 28-10 at Kingston Stadium, Friday night. The game was closer in the first half. The game nearly saw a huge momentum shift in the first half, only to see the Warriors take a 14-10 halftime lead, after the Tigers last second drive ended with a turnover in the Warrior redzone.

Time of possession was all in favor of the Warriors, lead by the Warrior running game. Turnovers were another key, with the Tigers losing two interceptions inside the Warriors redzone and also gave up a fumble inside the Warriors 30 yard line.

Cedar Falls didn't have the penalties that Washington had: 4 to 10, but the turnovers really turned out to be the difference in the ball game. Early on, it looked like Cedar Falls was going to cause the Warriors trouble, especially after the Tigers responded to the first Warriors touchdown, with a touchdown drive on their own.

The Warriors need to clean up on many aspects of their game. Penalties hurt the offense and placed the Warriors in long down situations. The pass defense was exposed, though the Warriors did get the Cedar Falls offense to rush some things with their pass rush. Special teams coverage, especially on kickoffs, needs to get better.

The Warriors don't have much time to get ready. Washington travels to Iowa City to face the City High Little Hawks in Week 2, Friday, September 3, 2009. City High got off to a great start in Week 1 defeating Dubuque Wahlert on the road.
