USD will not shy away from quality competition in 2009, as the schedule includes eight games against Division I FCS foes, including two that qualified for the postseason a year ago (Northern Iowa and Cal Poly).
“This program is moving forward at an accelerated pace, and if you look at the ‘08 schedule compared to ‘09, you can see it right away,” Meierkort said. “We have some very good home games, including a big Dakota Days game with Cal-Davis. We’re right where we need to be. It’s time to get ourselves amped up and ready to go.”
“With the challenges of finding nonconference games during the transition to Division I, we’re pleased to have put together a competitive schedule in 2009,” USD Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen said. “We’re very excited about the eight FCS games on the schedule. To have a quality schedule against FCS teams in our second year of Division I is very important as we move forward.”
