Pat ... I don't think the problem is with the browser.  I was able to click on the [read more] piece on the other Around the Region columns without any trouble.  It was just the West Region where the [read more] wouldn't work.

Ditto...the link it not highlighted red like the other regions.

Klompen

Don't know what provoked him but some dude living across from the stadium decided he needed to assault a Central fan with a garden tool.  Needless to say, neither of them got to stay and watch the game.  One was at the hospital and the other was getting fingerprinted.

I went to the trouble of downloading the NCAA rule book...the kicking rules allow the kicker and/or holder to be over the line before the kick.  It is a shame that a  great game had to be tainted by a poor and apparently erroneous call by an official.  I am not saying Central would have won the game anyway, but it is a travesty that they were denied the chance by an officiating crew that misinterpreted a rule.

Congratulations to WB for playing a great game and not giving up.  I never felt that the game was in doubt because our offense was having a terrific day and eating up clock time, but it was good to have a team keep us battling to the end.  That is the best that I remember Yordi playing against the Dutch.  He got rid of the ball quickly and always seemed to have a short play option when the deep ball wasn't available.  I'm not sure I agree that it showed weakness to future playoff teams so much because most QB's don't throw that fast, but if we meet up with another quick release QB, I still have faith in the offense scoring more. 


Nate Snead had an unbelievable game on Saturday and it was a battle of two great QB's.  Glad to have Snead on the Dutch side as he was more versatile being successful in running and passing.  And what a day of passing!  Wow!!!  And mastering the clock and scoring that TD right before the half then coming back with another great drive to start the second half set the momentum.  WB didn't give up, but they didn't catch up either.  Not sure I like seeing the pass coverage playing as far off the receivers as they were, not sure if that was because of how fast Yordi was letting go of the ball or because we were playing prevent the big play defense that kept the clock moving.  A win at WB is as hard to come by for teams as a win at Central, good to come away with one.  Now just concentrate on getting better.

Not sure which game you were watching, but taking a three score lead and making it a one score lead with time left in the 4th quarter would seem to put the game in some doubt. I didn't see Central pulling any starters. I'm sure Coach Mac is concerned about how Wartburg moved the ball on offense. I wouldn't say we moved the ball at will, but we moved the ball in ther air and on the ground. We stopped ourselves as much as Central did. I belive this game was one play away from a Wartburg win, we just didn't get it to happen. Talking to our players after the game, we would love to play it again, any time, any where.

Footballdaddy,

I get your point about it being a close game.  But with an 8 point win I believe your statement about it being a play away from a Wartburg win is not correct.  8 Points would take at least two plays to be different.  The Knights were a play away from being tied but not a play away from winning.   

Without the facemask on the fumbled punt snap we get at least a field goal which is a 10 point swing. Besides that, if we are more aggressive in the red zone in the first quarter we get at least one td there. But I'm not going to play the what if game. Central won, Wartburg lost. 

If you did play 'what if', you would have to include 'what if the Wartburg RB doesn't fumble and the ball falls into Yordi's lap with no defenders in sight'.  The RB was not anywhere near the goal line on that play.

Central lists four qb's on their roster and two of them are currently hurt.  Sources tell me the other freshman (wilson) is also on the injured list.

I am new to this site but if you want you can put me down.  You can also put me down as a follower of the Dutch.
