FB: North Coast Athletic Conference

I'm officially, suddenly, nervous.

I hope he's as good as that reel, if only to get a real sense of our D outta the gate. Moore is legit too, it seems. That offense is going to be good. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon -- those are some talented dudes.

If I was a Wabash fan I wouldn't worry overly much about this year. You will have to really help HSC with errors if the Tigers are going to win this one. And as far as I know that's the end of the series at least for now. Kind of a shame. I know you guys already have a big rival or two, but these two teams playing is a neat throwback to a different time. Respect the Tigers? Yes for the last 15 years. A top 20 team feeling nervous playing them? Nah, not this year...

Koonce is going to be great. If you're worried about him you should have noticed he's not starting. Jovon Burton is starting and from what I hear he had a great fall camp. But Koonce will play. From what I understand he was headed to VT then broke his leg. Then was going to take a prep year at Fork Union military Academy but decided he'd rather play now than to go to FUMA and wait to see if he would get a scholarship. That's 100% from what I've heard from other fans-not anything official.

Jovon Burton in 2014: 2 carries, 5 yards.  IF Koonce is that kind of stud that has VT sniffing around, he's not sharing many carries with 2-for-5 Jovon Burton. At least I wouldn't think.  Not if he's THAT guy.

Many times,  it take a few games for even the future star to adjust to the speed, physicality of college football.

Wabash has a player that  transferred this year from the University of Michigan program... at first,  I was like.... sweet.....  he'll start from the second he lands on campus.... Nope.   Not even on two deep.   I am sure he is quality,  it just takes time to learn a new program and philosophy. 

Plus,  at the quality level of both of these schools,  it is not easy to get much playing time as a Frosh.

Having said all of that,  coaches do play games with two-deep rosters.     Launch the "Secret weapon"

[HSCTiger fan]

We will find out tomorrow. Burton was a sophomore playing behind 3 seniors. He's good. Holton Walker had 1 catch as a freshman before he got his shot. I am betting both Burton and Koonce are great. By the way Koonce was 0 for 0 last year. It's.not like there's a lot to go on here.

Tiger -

Is there a cost to watch the game on BoxCast?

Back from summer travel.  Ready for some football!
Is Tyler Holmes playing this year or is he hurt or did he graduate?
More on Wooster after tomorrow.

Welcome back Nike.    Holmes graduated last year and will be missed.

I don't think so. But I can tell you that the camera angle is going to be the coaches view. Its not going to be like watching a Wabash home game.

Cool.... just wanted to see if it did.   I suspect that the server that it runs from will get quite a bit of traffic tomorrow.

I am sure it is quality from whatever camera angle. 

Cheers!

You left out one - if Wabash beats HSC like you think -
Time in seconds where you guys let me have it: 2.5

The only shoe in from above is attendance. If the weather is good and it is supposed to be, I think 8000+ is very realistic. The only way I think less than 6500 is if it's a steady rain.

Any Ohio Wesleyan fans on the board?

Here is the write-up by UMHB's SID on Saturday's game! Go Cru!

I hope the video is good!

Yup I am and there are a few others. I am more of a baseball guy, but I still like reading and  occasionally posting.
It was a good right up. I appreciate the kind words about OWU and coach Watts. I was surprised to see UMBH was actually doing the video feed from Selby.
Safe travels to your team.

Here's to hoping for a fun game with no injuries to either team.  I'll be out of town this weekend, but plan on catching the stream from my in-laws home in San Antonio.
