On Friday, Sept. 5, Blair Football (0-1) lost to Wheaton (1-0) 32-0 in a one-sided blowout. Having conceded 32 points in the first half, the team struggled to find rhythm offensively. Costly 3d down incompletions coupled with poor ground defense kept Balir from building momentum. To close the game, both teams exchanged a series of scoreless drives, sealing Blair's opening-night loss.
