Forget the Marauders, the Rams are heading to town.

On the heels of a stunning 31-24 upset loss last week to the University of Mary Marauders, the Eagles are focusing their attention toward Angelo State and their noon meeting Saturday at Elliot Field.

The Rams, 1-0, routed the Western State Mountaineers 35-12, Saturday in Gunnison, Colo.

Meanwhile, as Angelo State was trampling the Mountaineers, the Eagles were stumbling over themselves.

Chadron State amassed 466 total yards, to Mary’s 379; 27 first downs, to Mary’s 17, but only 24 points to the Marauders’ 31.

With the recovery of quarterback Jonn McLain, who threw for more than 100 yards before he suffered a concussion in the first half of last week’s game, the Eagles are looking toward the Rams’ arrival.

Angelo State is ranked second in D-II’s Lone Star Conference, behind nationally ranked Abilene Christian, Abilene, Texas, and ahead of Texas A&M, Kingsville, which is ranked third.

Saturday’s game is the 2011 season home opener for the Eagles.

Chadron State will also be celebrating Family Day.

Kickoff is noon at Elliot Field.
