Five takeaways from UWF's historic first Division I win
UWF opened its Division I era with a 34-31 upset of No. 16 Southern Illinois. Here are five key takeaways.
As UWF football coach Kaleb Nobles prepared to address the media following the team's historic Division I win, he approached the opportunity with a sense of humor. "What do y'all want to talk about?" Nobles asked sarcastically, knowing full well the audience's expectations. Ten years after Nobles himself was the starting quarterback in the Argos' inaugural football season, he led the program to its first-ever NCAA Division I victory.
The 34-31 triumph over No. 16 Southern Illinois was achieved in front of a record crowd of 6,124 at PenAir Field. This win marked the Argos' success in a program that had previously achieved great success in Division II, making it clear that UWF's focus remains on playing great football and maintaining a hard-nosed approach.
