Prediction Time!!!

The "Darkside"  is exposed by the Presidents as W&J rushes for 200 yards.  In the games big match up, W&J's O-line proves that size does matter as they dominate the LOS.  Thiel's small and quick front will be abused in this one!  The Prez D stands up big and picks off the Tomcats 4 times, one taken back to the house.  Make sure to get their early because this one will be over by halftime. 

W&J 35
Thiel 7

CC,

I will not be able to make it to Greenville this weekend.  Family obligations will keep me away!

Wes,

I agree with you that W&J will be able to run on the undersized and overhyped Thiel D.   However, I was interested in your comments about last years game and checked the games stats.  I was surprised to find that W&J rushed 29 times for 67 yards, not very impressive.  I still feel that W&J will rush for about 200 yards this time around.  We shall see.

Thanks for the kudos on the spelling, wonder what you could do in the dark while trying to type. Funny, first I heard from you this year, must of got done with cheer leading competition. Name the sport...., run,throw ,jump, kick or shoot.
But then again, you probably haven't put a jock on in your career. That would be  for sure,  you even said you followed football, didn't play??
Getting back to football!
Bragging rights in Greenville, Homecoming weekend, Sunny afternoon and PAC Conference lead up for grabs. When this game was scheduled back when they must of know big meaning was in store.

Easy AC24 I was just taking a jab.  It is kind of hard to follow your posts and spelling is the least of your problems.  And yes cheerleading is one word.  But lets get back to football.  I agree with many of your assessments, most of them are right on.  The following days leading up to Saturday should be interesting. 

PittTBCW you seem to know a lot about Thiel.  Do you think Thiel's D has a chance to stop the run?

Thanks fior the reply...didn't know much of Allegheny team talent wise but I see they are doing OK this year. got to see TMC last week in the Burg  which even played to high intensity level to scrap with Jackets. If they could establish and running game and their QB can make some clutch plays down the road you never know. Thier D is stingy and could put some bumps on some key player's for WJ when they get to that point  on schedule but that game is in Cameron stadium where things always are tough.
Thiel's/WJ game means a whole lot to where the PAC Champiosnhip will end up this year but their could be someone in the winsg waiting for them.
This is critical match-up and should be great game with high intensity level and before the weeks is over maybe one this guy will attend.

AC24 your mastery of the English language is impressive!!! 

Hi all, I am new to the boards but I have been following D3 football in Western PA for many years.  Great to see all of the discussion about the W&J and Thiel game.  It is also great that there are now meaningful games in the PAC and it is not a one team show.

Regarding Allegheny's talent.  The gators are an average team.  They have a pretty good offense that has good skill at the QB and RB spots.  However, their Defense is rather lacking as is evident by W&J rushing for almost 300 yards.

As for the Saturday's big game, I will make my prediction later in the week but for now I will say that I don't like Thiel's chances.  I really believe that W&J will be able to run the ball up and down the field on Thiel's defense.  Sure they may be quick but they are tiny up front and W&J has great size, talent and experience on the OL.  If W&J plays to their strengths, which right now is their run game, they will have their way.
