cwru70,

I think we'll get a one-sided victory this Saturday.

It'll be tougher against Wash-U and CMU.

[ExTartanPlayer]

Agreed.

Predictions:

CWRU 28 Chicago 6, if only for the reason that conference games have been relatively low-scoring over the past several years.  CWRU will never be in real danger in this one.

WashU vs. CMU should be a hard-fought battle until the end.  Gotta go with my heart here.  CMU 14-10.

[ADL70]

Congratulations to Tartan Brian Freeman on his Draddy finalist selection.

The weather looks nice for Saturday, I expect Whalen and Co. to put up more than 28.

[ADL70]

At least the 35 they did last year.

[ADL70]

For the seventh straight game Spartans score on their first possesion (6 TDs).  Pass from Whalen to Nicely.  Checkan is playing, but Calderone is not.

14-10 now.  Chicago's most effective offensive play is the punt.  They've gained about 70 yards as the result of recovering a muffed punt and fumbled return.  But their other punt was blocked.

Maroons are employing the wildcat formation, as a response to QB problems.

[ADL70]

21-10 half.  I had forgotten former CWRU assistant Tom Kaufman is Chicago's DC.

[ADL70]

Uncharacteristically sloppy game for the Spartans, as three turnovers on punts lead to Chicago scores and two turnovers in ther red zone prevent CWRU scores.

Final 38-24

[DagarmanSpartan]

I guess a win is a win!

Let's hope we have it all together for our last two conference games!

[ADL70]

Bears get the edge over the Tartans.  CMU fumbles opening KO and Bears go up 7-0.  CMU doesn't score until 4:05 left and WUStL runs out the clock from there (completing two thrd down passes).

Chicago tried new tactics both on D and O to try to win, but it was largely unforced errors by CWRU that kept them in the game.

if anyone from Carnegie Mellon  is out there... i ran into several coaches and players in the pittsbugh airport on friday (as i was trying to get to the ATL then on to bama).... very nice folks, a credit to the ideal of scholar athletes

sorry to have read yall lost to Washinton today

good luck the rest of the season



keep the faith

[Spartan 81]

Congrats to Sam Coffey for breaking the career extra point record.  He now has 93, the old record was 92 (Mike Weber 1983-85).  One of the older records left in the books for CWRU.  The field goal record will be his shortly as well.

Academic Bowl this week!  Go Spartans!

[ADL70]

Not to dimish Coffey's accompishment, but it helps to have a team averaging 4 TD's per game.  His PAT % is pretty phenominal though.  I'll have to look up if there's an archive of that stat.  Too bad he seems to have gotten [dis]credit for the last PAT miss at Hiram.  The broadcast said that it was Vasil.

[PoppaN]

too bad they take most  players out when they have a lead or a few more players would be breaking records ...
 
make a new stat for time played while amassing individual stats....

hard to break stats when you play only 2 quarters a game ...


They must have scored quite a bit back in '83-'85 or Mike Weber would not have had many attempts

[ADL70]

Poppa   We are reaping rewards this season from the second teamers who played last year; the same should be true next year.

It's also hard to build per game stats when you get charged with a game played when you didn't (Nicely and Checkan at Hiram although Shaun benfited from not being charged with playing v Rochester.  Last year Bush was listed as playing 6 games when he only played 4)

28 ppg ave 1983-85.  Nine game seasons.
