Here's my take on the weekend games.

Allegheny @ CMU Last week Tartans gained yards, but couldn't get may points and gave up 28. Meanwhile the Gators were just awful. Tartans by 10

Chicago @ Concordia-Chi Close game last year, should be again. Toss up, either team could win by seven or less.

Rhodes @ Washington-StL Bears played Whitewater tough last week, but the Lynx have been a bit of a nemesis, beating them in low scoring games. The Bears could have a letdown, but I'm hoping not. Bears by 3

CWRU @ Oberlin Yeomen lost in overtime last year, but lost a ton of playmakers and haven't played yet this season. 27.5 is the line on the NCAC pick-em, but Debs will call off the dogs if it is a route after 3. CWRU by 21

Waiting for tomorrow's game, I'll see how may streams my computer can keep up. Will be watching the UAA games plus Linfield, Trinity, Puget Sound, and check on a few others.

0-0 through first quarter in Pittsburgh. Defense has bent a couple times but ultimately held. Offense just drove 70 yards but got intercepted in endzone following holding penalty on 2nd and goal. Considering how bad Gheny was last week, this is not a terribly inspiring effort from CMU thus far, unless Kenyon is a playoff team this year.

Tartans on the board 7-0 after nice methodical wing-T drive.

Gheny hits Hail Mary on last play of first half. 7-7. Ugh.

CMU up 19-7 in 4th. We'll survive but it wasn't pretty. Nonetheless a W is what we needed here.

Looks like WashU is heading to OT with Rhodes. D came up with interception in their own territory late in 4th qtr tied at 7.

ADL70 · September 14, 2013, 04:52:11 PM

Both teams miss FGs on first possessions in OT.

Chicago beat Concordia 23-13

WashU wins 10-7

CMU final was 26-7

Terrible video for the Case game! The audio is not coming through either. What I have been able to see, up to this point Case has had not been in rhythm. A couple of good plays, but no continuity.
We get the ball starting the 2nd half so we still have time, only down by 7.

ADL70 · September 15, 2013, 03:17:53 PM

Give Oberlin the credit. They controlled both lines.

casefldad · September 15, 2013, 03:20:19 PM

Wow....no way to explain it, other than Case was outplayed in every facet of the game (except in kicking) and were NEVER in the game. No offense, no defense, no throwing and no rushing.....
Very disappointing, especially in light of the teams we are playing in the future. This was 'supposed' to be an easy game......
A lot of work to be done for the next game.

True enough, Oberlin played a great game........ Given that I'm a Case fan it is easy to focus on Case's inadequacies BUT Oberlin played great and my congrats to them......[/size]

Oy. I have a ton of respect for what Oberlin has done with a short roster but that is still a yucky loss for Case. Relative to each team's expectations, I think Chicago and WashU should be happy thus far.

Some observations from St. Louis yesterday. Wash U offense still struggling. They ran the ball well yesterday, especially some big runs in the fourth to get the tying touchdown and then a 15 yd. run on 3rd and long in the second OT to set up a much easier winning field goal. Passing game was out of sync all day.

Defense looked good again, but gave up a 99 yd drive for the one Rhodes touchdown. Rhodes found some success with a running game in the middle, but the defense was able to stop them when they had to.

Heading to Coe next week, offense has got to step it up for the Bears to have a good chance for a big road win.

Overall a very poor showing by Case this afternoon. I wasn't able to watch the whole game as I had to attend a fall lax game for my youngest. However, what I did see was not encouraging.

There are two statistics that stand out to me. The first is that Case averaged .7 yard per rush and the second is time of possession. Since I didn't see all of the game I assume that the second statistic is a result of the first. I don't think tomorrow's film study will be a pleasant experience for any of the players.

31 passes v 15 runs by running backs. That's the telling tale..
You might have been lucky by not being able to watch the game. I saw it and it was painful. Felt really bad for the kids. Except for the special teams ability to disrupt/block kicks, it appeared that we lost in every other aspect of the game.
I do have faith in the kids and in Coach Debs' ability to get them ready for Frostburg next week.
