PARKLAND, Wash. (AP) — The next wave of college football arrives this weekend when a handful of NCAA Division III and NAIA programs begin some form of a delayed season. The small schools won’t get the same attention that the Power 5 programs did when they took the field in the fall and they will face different challenges. One of Saturday’s games will involve Pacific Lutheran making the 20-minute drive to face rival Puget Sound in Washington state in one of nine contests scheduled at the Division III level. The programs have gone through a long process involving testing, distancing and protective equipment, with coaches becoming involved in a way their big school counterparts didn’t.
