baseman201,
                     what about all the 7a and 8a school. plenty more players to choose from than the small luthern schools.with all the good high school players in the chicagoland area,there is no reason they can`t recruit alot of them.there are plenty of good high school players that would go there if the recruiting was done right.look at all the other local college`s football programs.

Congrats Augie on a fine win.It don`t get closer than this one.Usee the offsides would`nt have made a difference,it looked like a low kick.Special teams and the rain hurt NCC today.But I`m sure they`ll regroup and get it going next week.
Augie Offense has a great smash mouth in your face running attack.And I think Wheaton is going have their hands full with them.
Augievike,
               That off sides call was very suspect .I was standing ,looking right down the middle of the line and did`nt see the offsides.The reaction was expected.Last play they block it and all of a sudden penalty.Thats the way it goes ,but you don`t have to like it.Emotions were very high for this game and I`m sure he felt as if the game was taken away by the refs.

But think about it. would`nt be great if they could meet again in the playoffs,where ever they were to play.

Augievike,
                 I have to disagree.Augie`s defense had it`s hands full with Elmhurst and gave up twice the points NCC did.Ncc`s offense seems to be really clicking this year and no one has been able to shut it down.Also I think Augie`s offense needs a more balanced attack if they are going to beat NCC.With no pass threat ,I think NCC will shut them down.

NCC by 14 today.

nccfan1,
            And Augie has to beat a good elmhurst team today.NCC`s defense has had ijuries on the line,linebackers and secondary, and they still won.As posted earlier in the year,good teams win in spite of injuries,they have.

NCC alum62,
                    I agree totally.

Penalty called for chop block.Thats dirty and deliberate or is it aggressive?

Tailgater,
                 Boy.You sound sorta bitter that NCC won.You don`t win games on what ifs.The score does`nt reflect how the game was,it was alot closer.But regardless of how many pics Kniss threw ,he did get the job done.

Washedupcard,
                            I agree.NCC is the front runner in the cciw.I think you will see the same results as last year in the Augie/NCC game.

Robertgoulet,
                     I agree with your earlier post about shutting down NCC`s offense.No one has done it so far.Also the defense has been doing what it has to do to win.The defense stats are misleading.Lot of players getting in the games when the lead is large.I think I`ll take NCC over Carthage by 15.

Cards Win! Cards Win! What a difference a year makes.The Wheaton qb is real good ,but I have to agree with earlier post,why did they change the play calling in 2nd half.They did well in 1st half,why not stick with it.Great job by NCC coaches on the adjustments on the defense in 2nd half.

Boy it sure seems NCC is getting slammed in the last few days.This sounds like the last few years when the topic of top 4 and bottom 4 teams in cciw was discussed.NCC moves into top 4 a few years ago and everyone says they have to do it more than 1 year,they did.Give em a little respect.Last year they manhandled augie and did pretty well against wheaton without kniss and holden.I can hear it now if they win saturday.Ncc has`nt beat augie yet or ncc has`nt beat carthage yet.Prediction: NCC by 14.

Was at Ncc game.Defense dominated WU.By 3 quarter many guys were getting in game. it could have been worse.Can`t wait till next week.

NCC  WOW!!!       65-25 win at Augsburg

They won`t win the cciw this year passing that much in a game.
