The Upper Iowa football team will close out a banner season on Saturday by playing Hillsdale College in the Albanese Candy Bowl in Hobart, Indiana. The Peacocks are 8-3, the most wins for the program since 1964, and narrowly missed a bid to the Division II national playoffs.

That’s Upper Iowa coach Jason Hoskins, who says he is thrilled with the chance to prepare for one more game.

Hoskins has turned a program around that finished 3-8 two years ago.

Hoskins says Hillsdale will provide a physical test for his team.
