If there are any Wittenberg fans checking in here, this is a great article about Offensive Lineman Tommy Gerhard.

Yep, great article right there.  Good things happening at Witt right now obviously; rankings, regular season win streak, record setting QB.  Big game next week but they need to take care of business today.

Witt definitely looked as  if they haven't had to play a 2nd half in a while.  Denison really controlled the line of scrimmage on both side of the ball and Kennedy and receiving corp, especially Tiffner, really bailed them out.  Glad they figured it out in OT.  Hats off to Denison on sticking with what they do running and throwing the football to get themselves back in the game.  Certainly was a game to remember!

Very balanced offense for Denison, so it will be interesting to see if Witt can take away one or the other or at least limit one of them.  Denison ran and threw the ball effectively even in their loss.  There's been heavy rotation on the defensive line for Witt which keeps them fresh and it really seems to pay off in the second half.  They don't have the big difference maker they had in Ferko from last year so it's been more a team effort.  I believe Kennedy will have to play the 2nd half in this one and I would expect him overall to have a good day.  Jaheem Washington ran the ball very well the last game and provided a spark that wasn't there the first couple games. 
I expect it will be tight but look to see the Tigers pull away late.   

Quote- Witt had a slow start at Oberlin and actually trailed 7-3 after one quarter, but Jake Kennedy was fantastic and Witt eased their way past the Yeomen.  The Tigers were so-so in the run game, but with all of that experience and talent at QB and WR, Witt had little trouble in this one.

Fumbling on the opening 80 yard drive killed some early momentum that took a couple offensive series to get over for sure, but the 2nd qtr. was as good of 15 minutes as the offense could play.  Kennedy had 286 passing in the first half.  I'm worried they're not balanced enough as the run game is just ok.  Line is still gaining experience, doesn't seem to be super aggressive, and none of the running backs are Sarley athletically.  Could be an issue against stiffer competition.

Word on Ike is that he is out for the year.

That's a bummer.  I thought when it happened, and then the way he came off, looked bad.  Good luck to him on a speedy recovery.

Just horrible news.  My thoughts and prayers are with the Hansen's and the Little Giants.

Neither L. Lee, Allegheny's returning QB, nor D. Sarley, Wittenberg's #1 running back, played on Saturday.  N. Greer played QB for Allegheny, throwing 49X for 370 yards (with 4 ints).  A bunch of guys carried the ball for Wit, none of them named Sarley.  Both are dynamic players.  Lee was certainly scheduled to be one of the top QBs in the conference.  Sarley is an all-NCAC back.     Injuries?

Unfortunately, Sarley tore his Achilles and is out for the year.  Happened running after practice so really just a freak thing.   

Link to Witt's 2018 recruit list.  Heavy Florida representation again for central midwest D3.  34 in two years seems like a lot anyway.  Good representation from both Cincy and Columbus areas and a nice group of players from Indiana.

Question for Wittenberg fans. Does anyone have an idea of the starting time for the Denison game?  I know it is in Granville but I can't seem to get an answer out of Denison.

It looks like that is Big Red Weekend at Denison so they're probably figuring out when in the weekend program the game fits best.  Denison will have a good squad this year and you could definitely make that game the centerpiece of the weekend.  I'd bet a nickel that it will be a night game.

I'm hoping you are correct on the game time. I am going to a game in Athens in the afternoon and would hate to miss this one.

1 o'clock start time according to an updated Witt schedule.
