I was just looking at stats and if we're being fair no one from Mount should win the special award for WR or offensive back currently.  When's the last time that happened?  And frankly it's not very debatable at the moment.

2016

Yes, JCU has been close  but few of those years did we go into the game expecting that Mount had to play almost perfect to win.  JCU has played Mount tough, but few of those teams were looked at as legitimate threats pre-season or pre-game as being toss up type contests.  The ONU teams of the late 90's with Roberson and Vagedas were every bit as talented as Mount and in some positions more so.  Those games were scary going in.  Same with the Pentello led Capital teams.   That's the difference in my mind.  The expectation and talent level across the board.

Looking only at regular season games from 1998-2018. We will start with 1998-2007
1998 MU vs 2nd place BW 30-21 (won by 9)
1999 MU vs 2nd place ONU 56-24 (won by 32)
2000 MU vs 2nd place ONU 59-28 (won by 21)
2001 MU vs 2nd place ONU 31-3 (won by 28)
2002 MU vs 2nd place JCU 35-16 (won by 19)
2003 MU vs 2nd place BW 24-0 (won by 24)
2004 MU vs 3rd place Cap with Pentello won 49-7 vs 2nd place ONU 41-27 (won by 14)
2005 MU vs 2nd place Cap 42-24 (won by 18)
2006 MU vs 2nd place Cap 38-12 (won by 26)
2007 MU vs 2nd place Cap won 37-0 (won by 37)

Over 10 years that is an average margin of victory of 22.5 points
From 2009-2018
2009 MU vs 2nd place ONU won 30-10 (won by 20)
2010 MU vs 2nd place ONU won 27-0 (won by 27)
2011 MU vs 2nd place BW won 25-20 (won by 5)
2012 MU vs 2nd place Heidelberg won 33-14 (won by 19)
2013 MU vs 2nd place JCU won 42-34 (won by 8)
2014 MU vs 2nd place JCU won 31-24 (won by 7)
2015 MU vs 2nd place JCU won 36-3 (won by 33)
2016 MU vs 1s place JCU Lost 31-28 (Lost by 3
2017 MU vs 4th place JCU 31-27 - MU vs 2nd place ONU won 43-14 (won by 29)
2018 MU vs 2nd place JCU won 23-10 (won by 13)
Over the last 10 years that is an average margin of victory of 15.8 points almost a TD better per game and someone othr than Mount Union won the OAC


The OAC is 30-5 in 1st round playoff games over the past 20 season! I am not sure why posters knock the OAC, it is a great Conference with Mount Union leading the way but still REALLY good league behind them. Look at this year where Wilmington lost 20-17 to Olivet who is 7-1 in the MIAA.
