The St. Thomas football team (9-0) is ranked No. 3 in the nation- and the Tommies kept that momentum and their undefeated record intact, beating Gustavus 20-7.
The Tommies football team has lost only once since the start of the 2010 season, and that was a quarterfinal playoff loss last year to Bethel. St. Thomas hopes to avoid repeating history when it takes on St. John Fisher in St. Paul.
Who says it's a down year for Minnesota football? Not fans of the Tommies or Royals, both of whom are ranked among the nation's top ten in the Division III world. After splitting last year's low-scoring contests, they meet again in Arden Hills with MIAC superiority at stake.
Saturday will be busy across the state for college football teams hoping to make a push deep into the postseason. Minnesota-Duluth opens the playoffs against Saginaw Valley State of Michigan. St. Cloud State hosts Wayne State of Michigan, and St. Thomas takes on undefeated St. Scholastica.
The Division 3 squad that hasn't lost a regular season game in two full years is, not surprisingly, on top of their conference's preseason poll. The national semi-finalist is ranked eighth nationally and is looking for an even deeper run in to the playoffs this season.
St. Thomas head football coach Glenn Caruso was named the Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year for Division III on Thursday. It's the second straight season Caruso has won the award. In just four years he has led St. Thomas to two MIAC championships and compiled a 43-7 record.
