CMU rises to #29 in AFCA poll.  Need to pass Coe, Linfield, and W&J to get to #25

Wizardman, not to knock your assessment of the CWRU/CMU game, but you listened to the game on the radio whereas I was actually there(Yes I am biased towards CMU).  But even though CWRU hung tough, they were not neck and neck with CMU.  As I said the day of the game, if CMU's special teams returners don't make boneheaded play after boneheaded play then the score could have easily been 35-10.  They consistantly made mistakes in the return game which gave them horrible field position on just about every drive.  Other than that CMU controlled the game until midway through the fourth when the 2nd string D went in and CWRU scored.  After that the 1st string was sent in and it was a stalemate until the end.

cwru70, I couldn't tell you either, but Chicago better get it together or CMU's D will have a big day against them, especially if the O gives them a comfortable lead.

WEll, I listened to the Case radio, so of course they weren't going to say it was the 2nd team D they sred on. Got me there.

Sorry fellas, didn't mean to jump anyone but if you check my history I did say there were a few starters sprinkled in during that TD. 

cwru70 - my brother was out during that drive because he came in during the first CWRU drive of the game and didn't take a blow until that TD drive.  And the only people who rotate that much is the DL and none of the starters or my brother were in on that play.  Yes, Lewis was in on that drive.

[ADL70]

Yes I remembered that you qualified the second team report earlier, which is why I pointed out the omission this last time.  NBD

Cool.  Don't get me wrong, CWRU had their chances to make it a nail-biter for CMU.  One in particular at the end of the 3rd quarter.  4th and goal from the 5.  I can't remember who was quarterback for CWRU at the time but he wanted to run the ball becuase nobody was open and my brother and Mike Reggie did a good job of corralling(sp?) him and Reggie got the sack for a huge goal-line stand.  If you ask me, that took the wind out of CWRU's sails until they scored that TD with about 6 or 7 minutes to go.

[ADL70]

Mirando was still QB then.  And yes that was a key play.  Going for FG would have narrowed the margin.  But the if CMU kicks at end of half instead of fake, it's a wash.

Read UChi's Game Notes for CMU. No indication if Schey will play. Funny there's nothing in the notes you couldn't get by just looking at the stats. 

[BDTartan]

Where are these game notes??  On UChi's site?  CMU hasn't even got anything on their site about the UChi game yet.

[ADL70]

UChi's site, you can link from the team page on here.

[BDTartan]

I found it, but I need Adobe to open it and I am not spending 2 hours downloading Adobe.  Oh well, you're probably right, anybody's notes on CMU would be pretty easy to discern from just looking at CMU's stats.

Tom Brew is a Draddy semi-finalist.

Laz has CMU over UChi by 14 and WUStL over CWRU by 3 (had last week's CMU-CWRU spread right at 10)

Hansen has CMU winning 42-7? and WUStL 31-21

[BDTartan]

Haha, I am taking Hansen with a grain of salt.  Don't know who Laz is but it seems he has a better grasp than Hansen.  I don't know about 42-7, what's Laz have on the CMU/UChi game?  If it gets that ugly than CMU can afford to sit some guys to keep them healthy and not have happen what happened to Mulkern.

Congrats to Brew, I thought he was an excellent LB, had no clue about his academics, but if you go to a UAA school you have to have some brains.

[ADL70]

Laz is a computer power rating.  Just gives spreads not scores.

Thanks for the info.  What do you think about CWRU only being 3 pt. underdogs??  That tells me that these computers and gurus have faith in CMU but nobody else in the UAA.
