It may be time to dig up Danderoo's version of "Turn Out the Lights"

gotta agree...lots of people were talking about Rowan's "resurgent" offense after they put up 30+ in last regular season game...that was against worst team in league...their O has been pretty anemic all year...SJF made a believer out of me after what I saw them do to Union.

UNION  31     SJF   24

  ADIOS SJF!!!    UNION  31   SJF   24

Will be a BIG day for the DUTCHMEN....GO UNION        Union 31   SJF  24

ZA....great to see you're still on the board.  Got in from Seattle last night and am looking foward to a Union win...TWO AND 0 FOR THE LL TODAY!!!

And also, the exact same thing could be said about the bottom half of the LL.

Time for a new random comment.

Bottom half of LL would  dominate the E8 weak teams.

I still say that you need to throw out all the stats....this isn't fantasy football.  I think that SJF will be  held to their lowest point total of the season by a very underrated Union defense.  Other than Sharpe they haven't faced a runner like Arcidiacano all season and Union's 2 wideouts will give the SJF  D fits all day. Key is turnovers and if Union plays error free it's one and done for SJF.

Frank lets be serious for a moment.

You will have to hold Fisher under 30 to win - can you do that? They're AVERAGING 41 points a game.

Say you hold them to 30, well below their average. You'll have to put up more than 30 - Can you do that? They're giving up 12 points a game & that includes 55 from Sharpe & Co.


And finally, it's at Growney... Not looking good my friend, not looking good at all.

How much of SJF's offense stats were against Mt Ida and the 3 E8 bottom dwellers? Look for Union to win because all the stats are BS.

If Rowans O comes to play they win a close one if they have -2 turnovers they lose. (Rowan)

With you on Curry no chance

Taking fisher based on common opp. scores (although both teams played Rochester and Springfield early in season)

Finally,

Wilkes, i think there are 3 factors that will work in Wilkes favor this weekend. The first being the 6hr bus trip for W&L i doubt they will be flying. 2nd will be the Wilkes crowd as Pat knows and reported that the students are very serious and upbeat about Wilkes ball this year and i am sure the will be in rare form. Finally weather it is forcasted to rain for next 2 days and on thurs plus all the rain NEPA has already got, the ground is very saturated up here, and Wilkes field is not the best when wet. thus i think you will see a stellar preformence by the Wilkes D and stopping the run. Also it will be in the 30's on sat not sure how much of a change that is down in Lexington.   

Wilkes wins +7
PS (Wilkes Fan)

Union lost to Springfield 38-30 first game of the season
                SJF  lost to Springfield   55-38  seventh game of season
                Union beat Rochester 27-24  fourth game of the season
                SJF beat Rochester  30-10  second game of the season
        Seems like you can't make much of anything out of this.

Both Union and Hobart will win on the road ....2 home teams win.

the Union d will surprise.

Simple prediction...Union by a TD...'nuff said.

John,

Ithaca averaged 29.4 ppg on offense
    -Scored 10 against Fisher

Hartwick averaged 25.7
    -Scored 16 against Fisher

Alfred averaged 25.7
    -Scored 13 against Fisher

Mount Ida averaged 16.7
    -Scored 0 against Fisher

Springfield averaged 35.8
    -Scored 55 against Fisher

Norwich averaged 16.3 ppg
    -Scored 0 against Fisher

U of R averaged 27.8 ppg
    -Scored 10 against Fisher (24 against Union)

Utica averaged 10.2 ppg (ouch)
    -Scored 0 against Fisher

Brockport averaged 18.2 ppg
    -Scored 20 against Fisher

Kings averaged 16.4 ppg
    -Scored 0 against Fisher

So total for the season Fisher opponents scored on average 22.22 points per game but Fisher's defense allowed 12.4 ppg

Union is averaging 26.7 points per game (less than Ithaca and U of R, about the same as Alfred)


Do you get what I am saying? Unless they run an option offense that Fisher has yet to encounter this year which they don't, I hightly doubt the game will be a shootout in the fashion that last year's Ithaca vs. Union game was.  Union going into the 30's and 40's and tripling Fisher's season average on D is doubtful.    

Numbers don't lie my brotha

Throw out  the numbers because the game will be decided by the players on the field and not by some list of previous stats. Don't underestimate a very good Union team which has a lot to prove after losing a mistake filled game to a highly motivated RPI team on Saturday. My pick is Union by a TD.

I know they avoid first round mathups against teams from the same conference but I wonder if they will try to avoid a Union-SC matchup in the first round since they played eachother in the regular season.
