GAZETTE: For real? IUP faces another test against No. 5 California

The IUP football team believes it is pretty good.

The Crimson Hawks learned something about that last week when they hammered Slippery Rock, and this week's game provides another opportunity to prove their hypothesis is correct.

Seven days after dispatching one highly ranked and undefeated team, No. 23 IUP (5-1) takes on another one when No. 5 California (6-0) comes to town for the annual Coal Bowl on Saturday.

"The game this week will prove if we're for real after last week's game," said IUP coach Paul Tortorella.
