FB: North Coast Athletic Conference

Wally, you may have a valid point. I think it's just reflex to put a Heliotrope in the top spot. Well, come to think of it UMHB is also purpley.

[Bobert6296]

With their win today, and UMUC playing a nobody ... if they both win it is not conceivable to make MHB #1.

But it won't happen.

Linfield and Cal Lutheran are tied at 17 late in the third.

It's a hot one, 90 degrees and a heat index of over 100 on the field turf.

Welcome to the NCAC - DPU. Already 7-0.

[wally_wabash]

So...yeah.  Florence throws backward to a wideout who throws all the way back across the field to Florence who runs right through the DPU defense for what amounts to a 42 yard TD.  That was gratuitous.  21-0 Witt.  Still plenty of time left in the first quarter.  My word. 

DPU answered with a nice, methodical drive (bonus help from a roughing the passer penalty) and scored.  Wittenberg could care less and scored in three plays.  28-7 Witt.  Florence is 6-6 for 111 and 2 TDs plus the one that he scored on the trick play.  Boatrace in progress...

After a DPU punt, Witt goes 80 yards in 3 plays.  35-7.  And I've seen enough.

At least Florence finally threw an incomplete pass.

[wally_wabash]

Yes, DePauw did just give up a touchdown after scoring with 45 seconds left in the half.  And there are 21 seconds still left.  You just lost the D in DePauw.  You're just ePauw now.  That's brutal. 

[smedindy]

Meaningless stat alert - DPU has more first downs than Witt.

Who needs first downs when 5 of your 6 TD drives take three plays or less?  Witt is in full on video game mode here. 

[BashBacker#16]

Witt/DePauw....ooops, I mean Witt/ePauw so far is a joke.  42-14 at half.  Florence has gone CRAZY in the first half!  Dude can fly when he gets going.  Just put up about 330 yards in total offense with 250 in the air, the catch and run for 47 and 39 yards rushing on 4 carries.  How bad is DPU's D?  The one D-end looks like he's about 165 lbs.  Wow.  What do you say to the team at half??? 

Welcome to the league Dannies.

[smedindy]

Florence threw another incomplete pass. Then he threw another TD. 16-18, 315 YDS, 4TDs.

That's a "scrimmage against your JV" type numbers. Heck, that's more like Witt in their prime playing Hiram.

This is instant karma for years of listening to all of that junk about how soft this league is.  It is not rugged top to bottom, no.  But you don't just show up here and win this league.  There are some good teams and good programs that you have to beat to win it.

I didn't know Lawrence Fishburne played QB for the LGs. Uncanny resemblance, no?

[wally world]

And they have digital cameras now, right? Couldn't they do a second take for this poor young man?
