Well they actually switched him to cornerback because there was a log jam at halfback (made apparent by having nearly 3 people rush for 100 yards last week). He was on the sidelines in street clothes on Saturday and I have no idea why. I wouldn't expect him to be out long, but I'm pretty sure defenders don't gain too many points in FFLs.

Marcus is out for a good reason hopefully he will be back sometime soon this yr. I will leave it at that.  I agree with Big Uns Lakeland didn't play well but then again it was the first game. There first drive went 88 yrs for a TD in 8 plays. Big test this weekend against Carthage. Go Muskies!!!

Maddog-

My recommendations for all-maddog team week one are on pg.3, I missed an at-a-boy for Brent Baker OLB, 7 tackles.

Thanks AUFB05 anyone else have recs for the week. I have Maiuri At QB, Arron Berry at RB Ryan Van Doo Loo LB ( Outstanding day) Sam S. WHO? David Benton DL and the ENTIRE MUSKIE O-LINE (SUPERB)

Big_Uns

I would agree on the O-Line. Simply cannot argue with 346 yards rushing and ZERO sacks allowed. It will be interesting to see if they can keep that going, last year they only gained 48 yards on the ground against the Redmen. I'm not sure what exactly is going on behind center for the Redmen, but I read the box score and they started Sharp but he went 0-8 and then they went to a freshman. Not sure if Sharp got injured or if there's a QB battle going on. Lakeland should be able to get some pressure on whoever is back there, hopefully force some turnovers like they did last year.

I hope the Muskies kick the snot out of Carthage.  The freshman QB was pretty good in high school and stepped right in last week and did well.  The Muskies are going to have to find a way to put up some points on the Redmen defense.  That will be the challenge.  Keep their offense off the field and figure out how to keep the offense on the move.  Go MUSKIES!!!!

I had a question about the AU vs. Cornell game.  What was the deal with Hornung?  He was 8 of 22-3 with only 68 yards passing?  Was Cornell disguising defenses, WR dropping passes, or is expected with the change of systems?  Just curious.

maddog8

Yes, Carthage will be a tough foe, BUT I think if the Muskies show up ready like I know coach "Z" will have them, LOOK OUT. This is the IBFC dream to take down top ranked teams.  This team has something to prove to themselves and the nation. Look for a close game until half then I think Lakeland will open it up. The key is keeping there STINGY DEFENSE on the field. I personally am not worried about there offense, withour Franz and Washington, well lets just say they haven't played the Muskies defense and Ryan Van Doo Loo. as for Carthages Defense, well they are second to none. top notch. Thats where the battle will be Lakelands Offense against Carthges Defense. Lakeland 34/Carthage 6

Southfan

Hey maddog, I'm with you and think that Lakeland will win but it's going to be closer than that.  I'm thinking 14-10!

Southfan-

Hornung and his team are working their way through a new system. A key penalty and a few mental errors was the difference in that game. AU lost it, Cornell didn't win it.

I doubt Carthage is going to drop as many TD passes as it did against Carroll last week.

AU plays Alma (ranked #40 by DIII) at Alma. After last week, I'm not making a predicition. I think AU has a key position at RB coming back off an injury. Paro did a nice job last week but his #2 didn't play due to the injury. The FB did a nice job on traps (3 for 29) but they use the position mostly for blocking. The #3 RB sputtered for about 22 yds. I'm a fan of Hornung, if he hits his stride Alma is in for a long day. Defensively, AU's LB & Sr Capt. is out with an injury. Last week his replacement did some nice things but still has some catching up to do. I feel good about Saturday, but like I said no predictions.

Greenville is at Trinity International University in Deerfield on Saturday.  Trinity is ranked #16 in NAIA.  It should be an interesting match up because the new Greenville Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator were on the Trinity staff last year.  In addition 2 other Greenville assistants played for Trinity.
