Offense looked good also.  scored quickly on first set of downs.  Scored often after that but didn't keep track.

Did Heller (#3) play much for Waynesburg?

The coaches predict a three way race:

TEAM                      PTS    2007 RECORD
Case Western (2)       8      11-1, 3-0
Carnegie Mellon (1)    7        7-4, 2-1
Washington (1)          6        7-3, 1-2
Chicago                    3        4-5, 0-3

I don't know much about the scrimmage to be honest.....I didn't go to it.  I spoke with my brother and what I came away with was that the number 1's played well and it sounds like they just have to ruff some things out for the opener.  Nothing major to work on by the sound of it.

I went to last year's scrimmage and to tell the truth I don't know much about Waynesburg but it sounds like CMU has a better overall team this year.  Sure they had a two-headed rushing monster last year, but it took a 4 game losing streak to bring that team together.  I think they are better prepared for a strong year this go around.  No doubt that a few players will have to step up on O, but it should be a solid season.  I've circled three games in my mind and those are @WUStL, @CWRU, and vs. Witt.  I think those are the toughest games on the schedule this year.  Ohio Wesleyan could be a nice test in the opener, but again, I don't know enough about them.  Almost forgot Hobart is coming to Gesling.  That should be a good game as well.

Question.

Is our 1st game really being held on September 1st, rather than August 30th?

Earliest games in D-III this year are September 4th.

cwru70,

Thanks!

I had seen September 1st somewhere.  Must have been a typo!

My bad!

Pat Coleman blogs that the first game this season is BSC vs the new D-1AA (Pioneer League) program at Campbell on August 30th.

They had to get a waiver to do that, though.

Wow, all of that offseason chatter about CWRU and everything else......where did everyone go?  This board has been dead and the season is 3 days away.

Well, then, I guess I'll be the one.........

CMU over OWU by 6.

CWRU over Kenyon by 18

WUStL over Greenville(did not know they were Christian Liberal Arts school) by 14

U. of Chi only plays 9 games this year and starts the season with one of their byes

It will be nice to have a read on Witt. since WUStL plays them in week 3.  Doesn't mean much, but at least we will see how one of the UAA's more consistant teams matches up against one of the NCAC's best.

GO TARTANS!

It all starts sat at Kenyon for our boys in blue.  A strong freshman group compliments an already talented team of 18 starters.  here are 2 recent articles:

The PD writer's cred suffers since he thinks CMU will be last in UAA.  Two good articles on the Spartans though.
