Re: Otterbein QB situation.  Paul Stelzer is Otterbein's returning senior QB.  But Jack Rafferty saw a good bit of playing time at QB Saturday evening against Defiance.  Jack was "runner up" Mr. Football in Ohio 3 years ago.  His senior year at Dublin Coffman was the year following Brady Quinn's senior year at Coffman.  The QB coach at Coffman has made statements in recent years to suggest that Rafferty was a BETTER quarterback than Quinn, but at 5'11", Rafferty just didn't get many looks from D-I programs.  He red-shirted his first year at Western Kentucky (shoulder injury suffered in his final HS playoff game at Coffman), and "held the clipboard" during his red-shirt freshman year.  As a red-shirt sophomore he moved to tailback thinking he might get more playing time.  He then decided to get out of football and left Western Kentucky and went to U of Kentucky for a year.  He missed football and started looking at central Ohio D-III options to get back into the game.  He picked Otterbein as the place to re-new his football career.  Rafferty is VERY talented.  He sees the field very well, he's a good runner, and he's tough.  He will make a difference at Otterbein. 

Final from Westerville:  Polar Bears 66  Otters 63  OT

One Fan has it right.  In the OAC there is more parity than in the NCAC.  If you don't bring your A game and the other guy does, you're going to lose.  In the NCAC Witt and Wooster can bring their B games and in some cases even their C games and still get a W.

Re:D3's comment on Meadows as a transfer to ONU.....Meadows originally decided not to play football in college (I think he attended Middle Tennessee State).  Anyway, after his freshman year he decided he missed playing football.  He tracked down the assistant coach at Wooster who had recruited him a couple of years earlier, and that coach had moved to ONU.  He traveled to Ohio to visit ONU and Wooster, but after his stop at ONU he decided he had found a football "home".  So Meadows was never a part of a college football program until he enrolled at ONU.

Wilmington was brought into the league to replace Hiram when Hiram moved to the NCAC.
