SOU, No. 1 College of Idaho square off in season finale

ASHLAND — The Southern Oregon University football team hopes to do more than just play out the string with the No. 1 team in the NAIA coming to Raider Stadium for the final game of the regular season on Saturday. College of Idaho has already clinched the Frontier Conference’s West Division title at 9-0 overall and 5-0 in the circuit, and SOU (3-6, 2-3) has been eliminated from postseason contention. But the Raiders have pushed College of Idaho in each of the last three regular-season finales, and they could do significant damage to the Yotes’ playoff seeding by pulling off a major upset this time around. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. The Yotes reached the national semifinals a year ago and are primed to take the next step after locking up their second consecutive West regular-season championship with last week’s 49-41 win over Carroll and reclaiming the top spot in the NAIA Top 25 on Monday. They’re unbeaten behind arguably the top offense in the country — ranking No.
