BU- 9
CUW-0

At the half

CUW sounds terrible every time they put a decent drive together they fumble. Two fumbles on the misdirection exchange. Also CUW's QB t-pach is out

CUW gets the win. But they did not deserve it, they fumbled trying to run out the clock! I have yet to see them in person, but if AU is as good as people are saying, CUW doesnt stand a chance in this conference playing like they did today.

Just heard WLC took it on the chin, too, losing to Lakeland, 26-7

Boy were some of the fans unhappy with the BU coaching staff yesterday. Very boisterous group of unhappy parents. BU seemed very unorganized, and the play calling was very suspect. some one previously noted that BU has sacrificed quality for quantity in their players and it sure seemed like it yesterday. I was not real impressed with the coaching staff as a whole either. Also thought CUW would be a better team, but came away very unimpressed. I still think AU is the cream of this league.

Looks like AU will walk through the NAC. No one can stop them. They certainly have the top defense and their QB is for sure the best in the league. IMHO, they may beat CUW by 3 TD'S. There is no one else in the league with the skill and Defense of AU. If they win this Saturday, I think it's all over.

At least BU had some emotion at this game. They showed no emotion at the AU game.

How is M.Baptist doing as far as numbers go? Are they still near 30 players? I hope they can finish the season. It looks like they have a good QB and some receivers. I hope you guys can pull off a upset this year. Good Luck.

Box score off Regent web-site indicates that the Cougars got off to a fast start early, and the game ended up being a real back and forth contest. Rockford's pass defense gave up 316 yards in the game.

Offensively, CUC went pass-wild, Rockford went rush-wild.

Lakeland has played well the past two games and i believe they can at least contend with AU not saying they will but in any case they will contend their offense and defense have been coming around. I have not seen AU play yet so if they really are as good as everyone says then lakeland would have to pay a mistake free game to win! I guess we will see when the game comes around

I'm with Old 40 I think AU has the personnel, a stingy defense, a quaterback that plays smart, and about 20 starters from last years squad that could have gone 7-3.

Kudo's for AU and CUW with a write up in the around the region section. It's under the Midwest region. Good article on AU's run to the title and only CUW standing in the way. They play this week which should be a great game. I will be there to take it in. I think each team presents some challenges to the other team. I will save my predictions until Thursday. The place should be jammed. Good Luck to both teams.

Just wondering does anyone know what happened to some of the players for CUW. Their punter was not at the game, their number one wide out was at the game but not suited up, one of their 1st team all conference linebackers is out, was there injuries or team infractions.

WLCALUM83 · October 15, 2008, 12:17:47 PM

WLCALUM83's picks for this weekend.

Benedictine over Maranatha (IL Eagle squad is at home, with more overall depth)

Aurora over Concordia-WI (Spartans also at home, but this figures to be a real dogfight.)

Lakeland over Concordia-Chicago (Could be a tight one--depending on which team steps it up more-both have been inconsistent at times.)

Rockford over WLC (Renewal of the Warriors' first ever football rivalry. Another tight one if the Warriors can stop the run and take better care of the ball on offense.)

old 40 · October 15, 2008, 06:49:44 PM

My picks for this week;

BU over M.Baptist, 21-20 M.Baptist will move and score through the air.

AU over CUW, 31-14. AU shouts down their Offense and scores on the ground, in the air and via special teams.

WLC over Rockford, 28-27, A very close game WLC defense a bit better. Both QB'S have the outcome in their hands.

Lakeland over CUC, 42-40 Defense may be hard to find. The Cougars are very explosive in the air and have a good back. Lakeland has been up and down like a yo-yo.

Good Luck to everyones teams and safe travels. I am going to catch the AU-CUW title game.

Honestly, I was 100% sure I put everything that has to do with D-3 football behind me once I stopped playing. But as an alum I have to wonder what is going on over there at CUC?

Why can't they stop teams from running the ball all over them. I'll admit every team I was on at CUC was a joke on offense. We had joke receivers a joke of a QB and no o-line. We played 90% of each game on defense.... but we could at least tackle. When I was leaving is when the new coach took over and everything appeared to be on the up and up.

As blunt as possible these kids on D look soft. They don't hit, they let tiny running backs make them look foolish. I've had to leave each of the games I was at out of frustration. I understand a loss (trust me) but to let a running back tee off on a linebacker is a joke. This team will never be good no matter how many kids from Florida they get if everyone is afraid to lay someone out. I know people from the team look at these boards...so what's going on. Why aren't you hitting? All that speed and no collision is a shame.

Maybe you should man up (i.e. grow a pair) and tackle someone. You will never win a game giving up 250+ rushing yards every week. #52 you know who you are....you need to pick up your defense because you're a joke right now. I expect to see more than 5 solo tackles from you per game.
