It's a new era for Roosevelt University athletics after making the move from NAIA to Division II.The Roosevelt football team is eager to make noise this season.'I definitely say there's a chip on our shoulder,' said Luke Desherow, a Roosevelt defensive lineman. 'It's no secret we were ranked eighth in the conference out of eight. We don't think that's true and we want to show people they messed up and we're a force to be reckoned with.
'So thankful for the amazing first responders that were able to cut me out of my truck and fly me to a hospital and I spent 40 years in a hospital and rehab facility, had seven surgeries.'Williamson spent last season on the sidelines on crutches, but he said he's feeling great now in his second full season back coaching after undergoing hip replacement surgery in May.'He's walking now, everyone was so happy to see that,' Desherow said.
