Last week Tiffin University put itself in the driver's seat for the GMAC Championship with a 31-16 win over Ohio Dominican.
Now, on Senior Night, the Dragons will have to defeat the University of Findlay to secure sole claim on the title. TU (5-0, 4-0 GMAC) is the sole undefeated team left in the GMAC, with the Oilers sporting a 4-1 mark. A loss would give Findlay and Ohio Dominican a share of the GMAC Championship with 5-1 records, while Tiffin would sit at 4-1. TU has one fewer game in conference play due to Lake Erie's cancellation due to Covid on March 20. A victory gives TU its second consecutive undefeated conference season.
It's another high-stakes regular-season finale between TU and the Oilers. On Nov. 16, 2019, Tiffin University (9-1, 7-0 GMAC) realized one of its goals with a punishing offensive attack, capturing the Great Midwest Athletic Conference football championship with a 52-45 win at Findlay. The win was the first time TU defeated Findlay in 26 years, and also represented the highest point total ever scored against the Oilers. Tiffin also led for all but 3:25 of the game. A similar effort may be needed for the Dragons to beat Findlay for the second consecutive time.
Tiffin is 2-26 overall against the Oilers, with victories in 1993 and 2019. Over the last five meetings, however, Findlay's average margin of victory has only been 7.6 points, indicating a much closer recent rivalry than the overall win-loss total would indicate.
