Very disappointing performance.  St. Vincent was on something like a 22 game losing streak.  We'd better bounce back, or this could be a rough season.

I believe that they had lost 23 in a row.  I saw parts of the game, connection was terrible but Case was not consistent and allowed their passer to considerably improve his game over their first two games.
We do need to 'bounce back'.  Hopefully none of the kids were injured...  Need to stay positive, BUT extremely disappointing, especially after the 1st week's solid victory.....

Thanks for the update.  I am looking forward to the game.

The scrimmage was surprising.  Case started rather slowly and vanilla-like on both sides of the ball.  Probably to be expected in a scrimmage.  As it progressed Case just got better and better on both sides of the ball,  and by the end looked very confident, and was dominating BW.  When I left it was 42-10 Case.  The defense had 3 pick sixes by three different players.  The kicking game was solid, definite upgrade in the punt game and in QB play.

The defense was good as was expected.  Even with Suren out for at least the first three games (shoulder surgery) the defensive backfield shined. 

Offensive line lacks experience but not talent.  I would like to have seen a long, time-consuming drive, but the offense did produce some big play scoring which certainly is exciting.

Can't wait til Saturday night.  It seems as if last year's game vs CMU just ended.

Did anyone attend the Case - Baldwin scrimmage today?  Any news?

Sorry to see that a couple of last year's players are not listed.  Anyone have info?

Wyant Athletic Center Update (coming along nicely):

http://athletics.case.edu/facilities/wyant_athletic_wellness_center

Also new for 2014, uniforms from Nike with a darker shade of blue (like the logo on the website) and possibly blue helmets for the first time in program history.

I understand Masngelluzzi and Hanzlik won't be playing in 2014.  However Erb is back from injury that cost him all of last season.


What happened to both players?
Underclassmen will need to step up to provide backup for Sicre.

Kids en route to Seattle, hope they have a safe trip and enjoy themselves.. Looking forward to the game on Saturday, these two weeks off have created withdrawal symptoms...
Looking for Case to come back strong and ready for the second half of the season...

Hope so!!! Spartans have underachieved a bit thus far but here's a chance to take some momentum into the UAA schedule! Also have to imagine that Puget Sound is a pretty cool campus?

Long trip and they arrived after 11:00 p.m. (eastern time) but pretty excited.  Very excited about the practice at the professional stadium... I'm looking (hoping) for a big game from the team...

Gang,

I should mention that I'll be following the rest of this season from abroad.

Early next week, I leave for Afghanistan where, for the next ten months, I'll be the Deputy Director for NATO Forces at the Presidential Palace in Kabul.

GO SPARTANS!!!

Best of luck and stay SAFE.....

The 45 points Linfield scored was Linfield's lowest point total of the season.  CWRU gave up 429 total yards compared with Cal Lutheran who gave up 655 total yards and Hardin Simmons who gave up 651 total yards.   The real star of the show was the Linfield DL.  I thought they played an outstanding game.

I was at the game and share your thoughts.  I think our defense did a great job (I am aware that they scored 38 points on offense) BUT we did a good job on their running game.  I believe that we could not control the offensive line game which did not open give Eric or Billy sufficient time to set up for a passing game.  I also think that influenced the coaches perspective on our running game and WE DID NOT run the ball enough (for my taste).
We have to give credit to Linfield, they are fast and close areas very rapidly. 
We now move on, have two weeks to rest and need to sharpen our game for the remaining five games and try to sweep the UAA games.
Tough loss but we move on....

Based on our last two outings, homecoming could be brutal.

Based on our (Linfield's) last two outings--I would concur.  Then again, anything could happen 

I am certain that I am as disappointed over our last two losses as anyone else - on the other hand, all we can do is look forward to the next game.  I know for a fact that the boys know how important this game is for them and I don't know if they will win - BUT I'll bet that they will give it a solid effort.
Let's not forget, upsets are quite possible.

The Wash-U defense was tremendous...giving up only 10 points despite being on the field for over 42 minutes and facing 94 plays from Coe's offense.  The Kohawks gained 424 yards, but Wash-U forced 3 turnovers and kept the Bears in the game.

It will be an interesting week of practice for the Bears' offense.  Three QBs were used, none were effective...6 first downs and 124 yards of total offense were all that could be mustered.  Not sure if wholesale changes are in store for the Bears' home game vs. Centre this week, but it would appear that Wash-U's offense has reached a crossroads moment relatively early in the season.

Thanks for the description.  Will be interesting.  WashU's defense is probably the best side of the ball on any of the UAA teams, but they'll have to find SOME offense!

Looking forward to seeing this weeks game between Linfield and Case!  Nice for the Cats to see a new opponent even if its just for the one year.  I think everybody is expecting a blowout but things can get interesting with long travels to a new field against a new opponent.  I fully expect my Cats to take care of business but it could be an interesting game.  What can you guys tell me about the Spartans?

I think that playing Linfield should exciting for Case.  We had a lot of turnover in the defense this year but have a bunch of highly motivated kids trying to step up (and I think they will).  Hopefully the game will be challenging and exciting.  If ever Case needed motivation it should be now.  We had hope to be 3 and 0 heading into our Linfield game but that is not the case - so we just need to deal with it.

I'll be at the game and am excited about it.

Welcome to Linfield and their fans to Case Western....

Linfield has already scored 71 once this year.

But afterwards, two weeks off and then to Puget Sound, which has won two games since 2008.

Offensive drop off was mostly due to poor conditions.  It was windy, rainy and cold.

No choice but to REMAIN positive and accept the fact that Coach Debs and his assistants will work the boys this week to prepare for Linfield.  It will get better!!!
I'm going up next week so I'm excited about that...
