Anyone know when the ODAC coaches meet to pick the all-league team. Seems like it should be out by now.

I still think Catholic will have the Offensive and Defensive POY with Ricca taking the offensive and Olievera taking the defensive.  Coach of the year is going to be the interesting one.  You can make a case for Dunn at CUA, Montgomery at EHC, and Aruza at RMC.  I think it will end up being Aruza for winning the ODAC (even though 6-4 is nothing special.)  

I would also like to congratulate the seniors of the ODAC, especially Stu Sitterson, who had a great career for the Generals.  

With all these records being broken this season, what do you think is the most unbreakable record in the ODAC?

Sorry about that!  He is listed as a freshman on the odac site.  Either way sounds like BC is loaded with young talent. 

I wasn't trying to get into anyones "head."  I was simply posting my thoughts on THE GAME.   I know Simpson is banged up and he wasn't very effective last week but I think he will have a huge game, not to mention HSC has won 7 in a row and none of those games were really close (besides the mud bowl).  Not much of a rivalry when you lose 7 in a row.  The only way RMC has a chance is if they run the ball effectively with Thornton and force some turnovers, and HSC has been giving the ball away this year.

There hasn't been much talk so maybe my awards will get some reaction.  Let me know what you think.

Doobersons picks for postseason awards:

Offensive POY-
1st)-Keith Ricca (CUA) 30TD's to 9ints 163.5 Passing efficiency.  Off the charts the last few weeks.
2nd-Josh Simpson(HSC)
3rd- Stu Sitterson(W&L)
4th-Caleb Jennings(EHC)
5th-Kevin Vaughn (Guilford)..would be Vogelbach but he has 20 interceptions and is 4th in the ODAC in passing efficiency.

Defensive POY- Don't know much about the individual defensive players but did a little research.
1st-Nick Oliviera (CUA) Leads league in tackles and has been ODAC 1st team 3 years in a row.
2nd-Matt Baldwin (EHC)
3rd-Kevin Worley (EHC)
4th-Tommy Matteo (W&L) Best player on a bad defense.
5th- David Woo (CUA)

Rookie of the year.
1) Charlie Westfal (W&L)  Played very well as of late- Accounted for 13TDs.  Very smart and athletic player.  Has rushed for over 600 yards and made numerous outstanding plays all year.
2)T.J. Montague (BC)--This guy was all over the place against us.
3)Tyler Beiler (BC)
4)David Argaud (BC)
5)Kenneth Hyman (GC)

Coach of the year
1)Dave Dunn (CUA) Much improved CUA team.  Moved from the bottom to the top.  CUA was picked 6th in pre-season.
2)Don Montgomery (EHC)-Had his team playing above their talent.  Picked to finish last.

Hope CUA and HSC both wn this weekend.  Two teams would be a good showing for the ODAC.  Go Generals!

After watching both RMC and HSC play this year I would have to say the edge goes to HSC.  RMC has a solid running game but that falls right into what HSC does well defensively.  RMC hasn't had an answer for the HSC offense since Favret has been coach.  This game will be close for a half and then HSC will pull away and win 45-20. 

The Generals lose a tough one in OT today.  Some young freshman mistakes cost them a few opportunities.  Caleb Jennings was the best player on the field today and willed EHC to a 3 point win in OT.

Catholic got 530 yards and 5TDs from Ricca setting CUA up for a chance to clinch the title next week vs. Bridgewater.  Hope the ODAC will show that one online as well.  Todays game was fun to watch as Vogelbach broke records for passing yards and all purpose yards.  Ricca looked very impressive.  He probably wrapped up player of the year with this performance today.

HSC held off Huntington 38-34 today and may have made a case for a pool C bid.  I hope both CUA and HSC win next week and the ODAC gets two teams in.

Bridgewater will be a tough game for CUA.   The CUA defense is not very good and showed it can be scored on.  HSC will have a tough game against RMC.  HSC has always dominated this game but RMC has been playing very well lately.  Should be an exciting last week of football.

Rooster- Where do you get your information?  Sounds like a desperate attempt of a HSC backup trying to distract the best team in the ODAC!  I hope Ricca keeps lighting everyone up!  Does anyone know if the ODAC plans to show the CUA-Guilford game on the web?  Should be fun to watch Vogelbach try to set the record for D3 for yards.  I believe he only needs 98.  I expect a lot of offense and wouldn't mind tuning in.

I would have to agree with you muchacho.  Caleb Jennings is a star but the best two players right now are Keith Ricca and John Simpson, with Jennings and Sitterson a notch behind. 
I was surprised Catholic was that successful on offense against EHC.  Ricca has been putting up big numbers in big games.  Catholic has really come to play in the last month.  They have double digit wins in three straight games against three conference opponets (W&L,HSC,EHC).  Huntington won 62-0 today.  That could be both good and bad news for HSC.  The good news is a win against Huntington would be huge for the Pool C bid.  Bad news is that Huntington is pretty good.

Sounds like there were some good games played this weekend in the ODAC.

The Generals had numerous chances to beat Guilford but just could not capitalize. The W&L pass defense is just not getting it done. I didn't think Sitterson was going to be able to play and I guess he was okay considering his 300+ all purpose yards.  He played a heck of a game, but it wasn't enough and the defense didn't make enough plays.  They have been playing better then I thought on offense though, considering how young they are. 

I thought the HSC offense led by Josh Simpson would be too much for Catholic.  Simpson had a monster game with 228 yards from scrimmage and 3tds.  Sounds like Catholic played very well and both sides of the ball.  When you throw for 400 yards and intercept 4 passes on defense you should win everytime.  Like I said last week, HSC pass defense was 201st in the country for a reason, they just aren't very good. Looks like Catholic's passing attack exposed HSC's weakness in the secondary.

I did think Emory was going to knock off Bridgewater. Wasps have a very good defense and it sounds like they finally got the guy they need at QB.  The win sets up a big game this week vs. Catholic.

Round One-

Are you really going to tell me to look up the work "reprove" on a football board?  Glad to see HSC still has a solid rhetoric program. 

Anyways, when Simpson is healthy, he IS the best player in the ODAC.  He was obviously not healthy going into the game.  He did score three times but was limited to something like 32 rushes for 85 yards.  Josh Simpson is by FAR the best player on HSC.  My point was that Sitterson (when healthy) might be the best player in the league.  You can make arguments for about 5-6 guys in the ODAC..Simpson, Sitterson, Ricca, Brown and Vogelbach and maybe Sedlar but the INT numbers for Vogelbach and Sedlar are very high, but they have thrown it a bunch.

Yes the NFL looks at turnover ratio, obviously.  I'm pretty sure they judge total defense by yards though.  I would argue that 3 and outs are as important as forcing turnovers if not more important.  Like I mentioned yesterday, HSC is ranked 201st in pass defense and I think it was 126th in total defense.  These numbers are simply not impressive and it's hard to argue otherwise.  Yes you can say you "forced" a bunch of turnovers, but the fact is you were playing against pretty bad offenses.  If you don't force turnovers you will get scored on.  We moved the ball very well against you, but in the end you all had more talent and won the game.  I think that HSC and Catholic have the best teams in the ODAC, it's because both teams offenses are very effective.  So we could be looking at the ODAC championship game this Saturday.  Looks like its supposed to rain, I'm not sure if that hurts or helps HSC.  What do you think?

Round One-

W&L averages about 130 yards a game through the air and 185 on the ground with Sitterson.  The Generals nearly doubled what they usually get through the air.  They usually rely on Sitterson to make the offense run and he was doing a good job before he got hurt. The best part about the HSC D is that they have been getting big turnovers, which may have something to do with the competition (W&L is the only team with a winning record the Tigers have played.) The point I was trying to make was that Sitterson might be the best player in the league.  I was at the game and it was very noticeable that without Sitterson, we are a different team.  So, with your best playmaker not in, and a freshman quarterback at the helm, its a recipe for offensive failure.  HSC did force some big turnovers and set up the offense in a good spot, however, the HSC offense is and has always been the strength of the team.  HSC is 10th it the country in total offense, and without Josh Simpson, that's pretty impressive.  The HSC defense is 126th in total D in the country and 201st against the pass (with a weak schedule and a team that usually plays with a lead, those numbers are terrible.)  My Generals would have won the game if Sitterson hadn't gone down.  Cody Smith had a monster day against you and the young QB made some mistakes but also made a number of plays.  I'm very curious to see how we do against Guildord this week, and see how you all do against Catholic.  I think you all win in a 38-31 defensive struggle if the weather is decent.

Very interesting matchups in the ODAC this weekend.

Guilford @ W&L-  With Sitterson getting hurt in last weekends loss to HSC, it will be tough for the General offense to manage without his speed and playmaking ability.  Vogelbach doesn't have the weapons in years past but should carve up a weak General pass defense.  I don't see the Generals making enough plays on defense, especially after the last two games giving up 48 to CUA and 38 to HSC.

Guilford-28 W&L-17

Catholic @ HSC-  HSC defense struggled early but managed to make enough plays for the Tigers to overcome a halftime deficit.  Sitterson getting hurt in the first half probably had something to do with that.  The Cardinals are coming off a bye week and a great offensive day against W&L.  I see this as a high scoring affair with the two best offenses in the ODAC going against two below average defenses.  Catholics Ricca and Brown should  have big days along with  HSC's Sedlar and Simpson.  I see the Tigers winning and remaining undefeated but the Cardinals giving them a good game.

HSC- 38 Catholic-31

EHC Bridgewater-  EHC is coming off a big win against RMC.  After not looking good much of the year that was a surprise to me even though RMC has had many injury problems.  Bridgewater has had a down year with some tough losses.  With EHC coming off a good game I look for them to maintain momentum and beat the Eagles in OT.

EHC- 27 B'Water-20 (OT)
