Much to the shock and surprise of Lenoir-Rhyne defensive back O’neil Blake, Clint Utter and Northwest Missouri State secured a 43-28 victory Saturday in Florence, Ala., to win their fourth national title to match Grand Valley State for second-most in Division II behind North Dakota State’s five. The Bearcats are the fifth team to go 15-0, managing that feat for a second time.
