I was looking at the stats and play by play from the Adrian game and CUC didn't seem to play even close to a good game against them. One stat that really impressed me since I thought their secondary was very weak, that Rolf kid who plays safety had 17 tackles and 2 ints, look for him to really start making a name for himself... I think CUC vs BU is the game of the week. With the Cougars at home and I am thinking there is going to be a very big crowd there and a great atmosphere, I say the Cougars finally beat BU. And this is going to stir things up, but I say CUC by 10+

I think the same as above BU,Hope, and Adrian.. I want to say the cougars are a very good team and can upset Adrian, but still too early to tell what is going to happen.If CUC pulls this one off against a undefeated and very good Adrian team, they should be good to take the conference, but CUC needs their defense to come to play and can't loose anymore O-Line because I am not sure of this but they have to be running low on depth there because they lost two players at that spot last game.. This should be good weekend for the NAC and even though I am unable to attend CUC's game this week, I think they come up alittle short., but I am excited for BU vs CUC next weekend. Good luck to all the teams this week.

CUC really showed up to play today and took away any doubts in my head. 28-10 was the final and besides all the formations and tons of playmakers they have on offense their defense held a great offensive chicago team to just 10 points. The cougars to my understanding play a hard team in michigan after their bye week, but if they can get a victory up there, CUC will come rolling into conference. I knew that wr # 1 was good but they got another amazing playmaker in a wr young kid # 25. I am excited about these cougars and if their defense keeps showing up, the rest of the NAC better be ready for this high powered team. Hope all the other teams played well and remained injury free...

This week for CUC I am very nervous due to last week what I saw while I was there....I had my younger son at the game so once the weather hit we left..But I saw alot of different formations from their O and tons of weapons,and what was suspected from their D, they gave up big after big play... This Chicago team is no joke to my understanding and if the cougars don't come to play it could get ugly in Riverforest...I am a fan of the cougars and hope they beat this good Chicago team...I can't even say cougars win this won but I think it is going to be a high scoring offensive show from both teams..congrads to the nac players of the week and I wish the best for every NAC team this week....Well see what the cougars do this weekend when they actually play a whole game.

After looking at the CUC's roster that was posted up, I can tell you one thing whoever the QB ends up being is going to be big and able to move. One is 6-4 225 and the other 6-3 235 and I hear both are considered dual threats, which is going to give them a little different type offensive look from their stud QB from last year. Looking closer at their roster the defense is really not missing any of it's playmakers, but my main concern is if they can stop the pass because last year my sons grade school team could have thrown all over them as BU showed and U of Chicago.  But someone who posted earlier was right on top of the 2 O-linemen missing due to graduation there is another not on the roster anymore, so that means they are missing three starters there. There is no doubt they will have 3 or 4 speedy returning WR's that can all make plays. I will be at the game saturday with some of my co-workers and be able to give you more then. I am excited to see what CUC has to bring to the table saturday...... Does anyone know how the BU scrimmage went against ILL wesleyan? or any other scrimmages went? Game day is a couple days away and we will be able to tell soon enough what these NAC teams are bringing to the table...

I saw the rankings came out for the NAC and even though I been following my cougars for awhile now since I moved into the area with my family, I do agree those other two teams should be ahead of them in the rankings. I have heard but am unsure that CUC got a very good RB and QB transfer but I don't know that for a fact yet. I am hoping CUC can stop the pass and make it over the hump they came short of these past two years. .. The season is right around the corner and I ready to see BU vs AU, AU vs CUC, and can't wait for BU vs CUC, as I fan I am just hoping to see some close games. Once I find out for sure if CUC got those transfer and where they are from I will let you guys know,,until then

I am excited to see the BU, CUC game.I was at a different game the one two years ago, but I was at the one last year where CUC could not stop any kind of pass...As far as the recent comment of that RB from BU being the most exciting player in the NAC I think that #1 WR from CUC will be. I am excited to see how the cougars do on offense and if they change anything up. I know they will always have some kind of weapons on that side of the ball, but can the defense when it counts stop anybody? I am a little disappointed to see the most recent talk has been about BU and AU counting out the cougars who have been a nose hair away the past two seasons. But I am just a fan we will have to let the team,players, and coaches figure that out. I am starting to get excited for the season and wish every team in the NAC luck and can't wait to see some good games...

Hey everybody, .. Anyone know about CUC recruiting class? or transfers coming in?

Well the BU and CUC game was a great game and hats off to both teams. CUC's offense is not the problem for the 2-2 cougars. And it is no secret now , if you want to beat them all you have to do is pass. As a fan I don't know if it is because the secondary is that bad or the person calling the plays is putting them in bad situations. The way conference plays out should be very interesting. How did the other NAC games play out??

I am very much looking forward towards the show down of BU and CUC tomorrow. I think with BU having their homecoming and what happened last year is going to cause a great atmosphere  for tomorrow's game. I hope it is a good game from a fans standpoint. CUC has a lot to motivate them with how BU destroyed their Cinderella season last year and  ,you guys saying BU's RB is as good as CUC's , but faster. I think if the cougars D can hold BU's offense to limited points, CUC's offense is just to much for BU. Tomorrow is a big day to find out if CUC is the preseason hype myself and many others gave them... Wish all teams good luck tomorrow and hope to see a good game

I attended the CUC game today and saw what everybody suspected. The QB threw for 5 TDs, RB had about 140 yards rushing. The defense surprised me with how many players they got that can play.. It looked like they aren't too deep at the d line, but for linebackers they got about 8 of them that can all make plays and from the looks of it about 5 - 6 DBs that can all play as well, only gave up 3 points, until late in the game with a lot of subs in. I am curious to see next week against University of Chicago , to find how good the cougars really are... I am also  surprised with AU suppose to have a bounce back year,  and then had the game they had against NORTH PARK??? BU seemed to have a good day though

I am very curious to see how AU responds to the season they had last year. I am a CUC fan, but  I am not going to sit here and say anything I can regret at the end of the season, because AU seemed to be in this same spot last year and look how their last season played out for them. I hope the cougars do live up to the hype, but yet once again, any team as a chance to come and fight for the conference championship, The question that I am curious to see is who will be the CUC  that came out of no where last season, this season?

I have been following the cuc for the past 5 years since moving near the area from down south. I very happy to hear that they are projected to finish first because that coach has done a great job building that program from the ground up. But folks lets not forget that anything can happen, as we can learn from how last year played out. That being said I am very excited to see cuc play , according to my sources they are returning 19 out of 22 starters. Have numerous players that they can rotate in and still be strong, as well as a transfer from u of i and western il to add to their defense. The QB was named preseason all american by usa football news so congrads to him.  But I also want  to see how au responds to the season they had last year, and what wlc and con wis has to bring to the table. I wish all teams the best of luck this year, should be a very fun season from a fans view
