My two cents on QB situation at Amherst. 

Pieterse is buried in depth chart behind Lippe and freshman (#4).  Pieterse may have strong arm but not a great general on the field - loves his legs more than he loves his arm. 

Lippe is in my opinion to slow in reading plays as they develop.  Seemingly throws are made too late as the window is closing.   AND why is he running the ball?

#4 reminds me of McMahon from a couple years ago.  Athletic, mobile, strong arm.  He just needs game experience.  If he does not get injured and the OC allows him to develop, he will be the starter next year.

As for the OC, play calling is a bit odd.  In my opinion, he is the Achilles heel of the team.

Anyone attend the scrimmage and if so, can you offer perspective/insights?  I heard Amherst defense looked good but offense was iffy, particularly at QB play.  Any feedback would be welcome.

Sir:
A point of clarification on the quality of Bosco players on NESCAC squads from an earlier post by NESCAC1.  Yes, some of the players were mid-level players on the squad, but based on the statistics from MaxPreps it shows several players were statistical leaders on the team. 

On the Amherst squad, as someone noted earlier, they have a number of Bosco players.  Two of them (Daniel Chun and Jimmy Clark)  are from the 2009 football season (where Bosco won their first of two mythical National crowns).  Chun was 2nd on the team in total tackles while Clark (who was not on last year's roster so it is unclear if he is still on team) led the team in receiving - both in catches and yards.  From the Bosco 2010 team, Lars Larsen was named first team NJ All State at linebacker.  As with many D-3 kids, they were extremely key players in their respective squads but they were slightly undersized or a half a step too slow to get D1-A attention.   

As to the quality of their program, several posts are correct in noting their success.  Their record since 2002 has been stellar and stands up to any program in the US particularly when you measure their performance against out of state teams such as De La Salle, Prattville, St. Thomas, etc.
