I don't know that it has been a problem with the quarterback but rather a lack of options at receiver.  Granted against Allegheny there was an apparent case of fumblitis but this year the only true option with any experience was TE Wisnieski and to a limited extent WR Doo.  Doo was injured against Grove City and hasn't played since forcing the Tartans to start a Sophomore, Sophomore, Freshman combination at wide-receiver, a situation that doesn't lend itself well to spreading the field and opening the defense up for the Tartan's rushing attack.

To be truthful, if Erdelyi would run some of the offense he did last year it would be even harder to prepare for, but this year seems to be going the direction of the 05' season where he did nothing but run, run, RUN unless CMU was down after the half. 

I'm sure that Coach Erd would love to run some of the play action and deep throws we often opened up with last year but I don't think the Tartans currently have a consistent or reliable target.  Much like in the '04 and '05 seasons when WR's Kline and Davis lacked experience.

CMU literally stays on I-79 like you said with Bethany, Grove City, and even D1-AA Robert Morris.

The CMU coaching staff tries to bring in a recruiting class somewhere in the range of 40-50 players every year and their JV schedule usually consists of 3-4 games.  In reality only a few games come to fruition b/c of scheduling conflicts and injuries that seem to arise.

BDTartan, what game or games are you going to make it to this season?

I know that CMU's Athletic Director has a connection with Hobart and that might have something to do with the somewhat random pairing.
