Good to see a Gibson Southern Titan, OL Garrett Hartig, doing well in the college ranks at Case.  Great young man from a great family.

I'll take the W, but that was a sloppy, sloppy game for both teams.

4-0 for the UAA today.

Way to go UAA!

How about two defensive touchdowns by Ryan Ferguson for CWRU??

[ADL70]

Great start UAA!!!

Early frontrunner for newcomer of the year-CWRU's Manny Sicre.

Scored on a 75-yard TD and rushed for 97 more on his other 15 carries [6.5 yd/c even without the 75 yarder].  I don't recall another Spartan RB who was as quick.

[ExTartanPlayer]

Great start for the UAA, indeed.

CWRU 24-17 over John Carroll.
CMU wins a 21-19 squeaker over a perenially-average Grove City team.  Not bad.
Chicago 44-25 over a Beloit team that's been respectable the past couple years.
WashU with a 28-10 decision over a below-average Knox team, but they did win easily.

From the "What the hell..." department, of interest to some UAA teams:

Allegheny was decisively handled by Bethany yesterday, 28-7.  Gheny has traditionally been in the "second tier" of the NCAC teams, behind Wabash and Wittenberg, and outside of those two has been the only NCAC team that consistently plays the UAA evenly.

Case had both Athlete of the Week awards for Week 1:

Hopefully that Freshman running back has four strong years!

CMU-Gheny preview

http://www.cmu.edu/athletics/sports/football/news/2011/alleghenypreview.html

Early in the season, but really a huge game for CMU.  Very winnable series of games after this one; a big W here could put the Tartans on track to reach the halfway point with a very solid record.

[ADL70]

Good luck to the UAA teams today.

Predictions per Massey Ratings:

CMU over Allegheny  66% confidence
CWRU over Rochester 73%
Chicago over Concordia IL 69%
WUStL over Rhodes 70%

Bears Win 48-21!!!

[jaybird44]

Wash-U defeats Rhodes at home 48-21.  Easton Knott had 3 TD receptions, 2 in the first half en route to a 31-7 halftime lead. 

In the first half, there was the oddity of dueling onside kicks.  When Rhodes tied the game at 7-7 with a TD with 3:00 left in the first quarter, it tried an undisguised onside kick...with 6 players lined up on the near side of the field, and the kick purposefully angled in that direction.  Wash-U recovered, and subsequently scored a TD to go up 14-7 with 1:26 left in the quarter.  Then, Wash-U recovered its own pop-fly onside kick at the Rhodes 43-yard-line...and it scored a TD on the 3rd scoring pass to Knott, one minute into the second quarter for a 21-7 lead.

On the ensuing possession, Rhodes tries to convert a 4th-and-2 on its own 40 yard line and fails to do so.  Wash-U responds with another TD to up 28-7, and was not threatened for the remainder of the game.  The Bears substituted liberally in the 2nd half, with 5 QBs throwing at least one pass and 12 players that caught at least one pass.

Wash-U (2-0) hosts Wittenberg next Saturday at 1:00 Central.

Bad day at Black Rock for all but the Bears.
