I think Bama will pull ahead on this game but I hope it shuts up some of the Bama should be in the playoff folks

They certainly have zipped lips now 

So when do we see Herbstreet go on a 5 minute rant retracting his previous crap about Indiana and SMU not being worthy? 

That Bama team deserved exactly what they received.  Don't lose to Vanderbilt and piss down your leg against a bad Oklahoma team if you want in the playoff.  The fact that they got dominated by Michigan with both of their stud DT's opting out is even more telling.

Quote from: USee on December 28, 2024, 01:26:36 PMYeah, we have to remember Wayne Ruby and DeAngelo Hardy (as well as Broc Rutter, Andrew Kamienski, Ethan Greenfield) didn't really get more than a sniff from the NFL. Rossy Moore has the atheticism but not the size as an edge rusher/OLB. He is more of a safety type size-wise.

I wouldn't think Lehnen has any shot an NFL look. His speed is worth a look but he'd have to project as a slot WR?

you aren't lying.  D3FB was at its peak prior to covid years, the transfer portal and NIL.  Mount/UWW had a handful of NFL career guys going back and forth and plenty of guys getting "a sniff".  Unfortunately, the portal and NIL here to stay, but hopefully we can get away from 5th and 6th year guys playing D3FB

The guys who finish their careers in D-III and are getting a look at the next level are increasingly offensive linemen. I do hope Rossy gets a shot because he is incredibly talented.

O-line is predominantly dictated by size and movement skills, regardless of level of competition playing against.  So any guy 6-4, 300+ with the decent shuttle numbers will get a look.

Usee:  We'll done my friend   Hope you and yours are doing well.

Quote from: raiderpa on December 06, 2024, 09:55:10 AMI second the congrats to Mike Elder for getting over the Hoban hump and winning the state championship. Mike is a really good guy and his program is one of the finest in Ohio, year in and year out.

Kudos to Mike!

Also nice to see a Hoban go down.

Ryan Day is John Cooper.  Very unfortunate.

Mount's quadrant is weak.  I could see a scenario where half of the teams could make it to the semifinals.

The plug on The Machine was pulled when Larry retired.  The momentum carried the program thru the VK years.  It's now dead and will need to be rebuilt if another title is to ever be won. The lack of quality depth in the OAC is what's kept them as league champs. 

^ I wouldn't count on it.

The NCC kicking game has been really shaky all season, 15 missed XP for the season.  h....

After further review I think this is the reason NC went for two points after the last touchdown.  If you're NOT confident in your kicking game (a logical feeling based upon season results) and you're VERY confident in your offense (a logical feeling based upon season results) then Brad Spencer's decision is understandable even if you don't agree with it.

Agree.  If I'm in his shoes, I'd much rather put the game on my Gagliardi winning athletic QB instead of a kicker that I don't trust.   Now if you want to nit-pick the call of running a QB sweep into the boundary then I'm all in.  That play is a much better choice to the wide side where he has more room to maneuver.

With that run it's over.  Congrats to Cortland.  And yes every Mount fan, player and coach should be puking right now.

Mount would have been run off the field by either of those teams

Cortland put up 58 points and 648 yds.  That's a really tough pill to swallow after 20 pts last week.  It is what it is.

Cortland was 9 of 9 in the red zone....oh my....

I'm just a lowly accountant but I believe even if those were all FG that's more than 20 points.  I'll double check on the 10 key though.

As an engineer, I can confirm your FG math is correct.

I knew this day was coming when the LK shine is gone.  Just never expected it to be to an Alma.  And one that gave up 58 to Cortland.  That's an ugly way to die.

If Mount is to win #14 tomorrow night, it's going to take a 1993-esque performance. 

As someone who saw that Mount season up close and personal, and that game up close too, the only thing Roy Hampton's availability would have done was increase the final score.  The margin would have been the same.  Mount toyed with Trinity in horrible wind conditions and Hampton doesn't change that.

Mount Union was going to win that game even if Roy Hampton quarterbacked.

And win it easily.  Trinity was way over matched physically.

For all Mt. Union fans making the trip to Doylestown this weekend - i hope this link comes through "ONLYINYOURSTATE.com" - a write-up for Doylestown.   

After attending the last two Raider playoff Games, they were much sharper and executed better. The play calling and use
of personnel far exceeded the JCU and BW games. Agree, they may be the fastest team of the final 8. They
will need to play aggressive for all 4 quarters. If they play to their potential then a trip to Annapolis is very possible.
My worry is that of Aurora, that can win on Saturday. The question is will the NCAA allow a Mount host for the
semi-finals if the win on Saturday.

Mount is faster than most, but that moniker belongs to MHB.

oh of course, it all comes down to Strength of Schedule.  Those Middle Atlantic teams play such a harder schedule than the OAC, dont get me started on Wartburg.  Those Iowa teams are so much better than the Ohio teams, just check the numbers!

I can't comment on the average team from the Middle Atlantic, but the OAC has sucked as whole for quite a while now.  The heyday that we all remember of the Tom Arth JCU teams, Dan Larlham BW teams, Jamal Robertson/Jason Vagedas led ONU teams or the decade of Rocky Pentello at Capital are a distant memory.  It's been a long, long time since the OAC provided a team that was of Final 8 caliber other than Mount.  And that fact hasn't helped their preparation.
