Linfield College has an amazing football team. Their program has been a becon of success in the national spotlight for the past 50 years. Indeed, with Saturday’s win over Southern Oregon (49-14), Linfield is now 5-0 and has clinched it’s 50th winning season. This sets yet another record nationally with the most winning seasons for any division of the NCAA. (Linfield plays NCAA Division III)
I attended Linfield in the 80’s and 90’s when Ad Rutschman was the coach. He led the Wildcats to national championships 3 times in the 80’s. In the 90’s new coaching kept a strong team, but there were always stronger programs out there to beat us. Now in the 00’s, we’re taking names! Linfield went undefeated last year to win the National Championship and this year so far, there’s nothing out there to stop them.
Linfield’s QB, Brett Elliot is averaging 309 yards per game, no small feat. He’s thrown for 20 touchdowns so far this season, on the roll to break last season’s record of 61 (a record for all college sports, no matter the division.)
If you love football and want to see a great team play a great game in a great venue, head down to McMinnville to see the Linfield Wildcats. The scoreboard even has a replay screen. Can’t beat that.

Next game: October 22 vs. Puget Sound (3-3)

btw, Linfield is ranked #1 in all polls at the moment.
