All right, thanks.  I was just busy trying to keep the game going over my slow internet connection.  I talked to my brother about 10 minutes ago.  He said the front 7 on defense pretty much kept them right there and gave them the opportunity to win it.  He said they threw a lot of zone blitzes at WashU and it was pretty easy getting to the QB.

Congratulations Carnegie Mellon.

First win against Washington MO in 8 years.

First UAA title in 9 years.

Intersting stat: Both punters punted the same amount of times for the same amount of yards.  8 punts, 277 yards apiece.  Matt Adams from CMU put 3 inside the 20 and Chazz Moody from WUStL did it twice.

HUGE win for the Tartans as now they get to come home UAA champions to play Bethany at Gesling Stadium.  CMU's front seven had an excellent game as my brother had a sack, Curran had a sack, Reggie had a sack, Sisson had 2 sacks, and Ploetzner had an interception late in the 4th quarter to stop a WUStL drive.  Even James Rogers had a clutch first down on a fake punt to him at upback.

I expect them to use this as fuel to keep chugging right on into the playoffs.

cwru70, who do the Spartans have remaining on their schedule?  You were hoping for a .500 season, which is why I ask.  Do you think they can get to .500 now that they squeaked past UChi.??

Boo jetsweep. Hooray tandem right, rocket motion left to dive back motion carrying out the fake z belly right to fullsweep left.

Get all that.

Way to go CMU.

Get Ploetzner back and in one week seals the deal.  Nice!

Zone blitzes you say.  From a 3-4.  Fire zone blitzes from cover four?

Huge win!  CMU's QOW moved up to 22nd which I believe is second among Pool B teams.  Got to figure if they can get past Bethany and Thiel they'll be in great shape.    Tartan- I'm not on the team, just a student here who enjoys sports (rare though that may be at CMU). 

I listened to the second half on WRCT.  It sounded like the wind was a huge factor and that the D lines for both teams were getting penetration into the backfield all game long.  The way that Sivek ran in OT I think proves the point that even if we can hit the big pass occasionally, we're still a grinding football team.  Defenses wear down just a little bit towards the end.

Next week is Grove City.  The D should keep it close, but do we have new Cardiac Kids in Cleveland on O?  Whalen seems to ba a bit tentative, especially about pulling it down commiting to the run.  The banged up OL has him running for his life.  Waaaay to many Ints.  Even had one picked off that he was trying to throw OB, while in the grasp.  The OL had another injury yesterday.  And Brown, who was filling in for Decesare, hasn't played the last two weeks.  Cowdrick and Dudek did return at WR.  Cowdrick made a diving catch at the 2 to set up the TD.  He may have been reinjured on the catch.  But football injuries must be minor stuff to a guy who fell 40 feet of a roof!  Of course that may be why he is susceptible to these injuries.  Like this week, protect the ball we should win.  Give it up six times, at it will be a nail biter.

Last game is W&L (Lee not Jeff).  They started slow, but have some talented players.  The beat CWRU big time last year.  A win there would be a surprise.

My hope for the season was 6-4.  Loss to Ursisnus messed that up.  I hoped for one UAA win.  Thought it would be CMU.  Wrong again there.  With FR QB and all the injuries, 5-5 is acceptable.  A lot of new players contributed this year.  Too early for a season re-cap.

Good win for CMU, when not having their A game.  Surprised WUStL throttled the run as well as they did.  Sivek did about what he did against CWRU, but Gimson didn't get many yards, but then he didn't break a big one which is usually how he gets 'em.  And Facemeyer had a tough day as well.  A long  TD pass and a long Gimson run were the difference against CWRU.  Mahan started for WUStL, but didn't have that many stops, did he go out?

Bethany shouldn't be a problem.  Ploetzner back will be big for Thiel and playoff.  Go Tartans!!!

Drew Wethington is the DL that had the most impact for the Bears.  4 TFL and their only sack of the day.  Well, at least this win proves that they are good enough to find a way to win when they aren't able to do what they want to do.  The defense was HUGE!  Yes, MacLeod, zone blitzing is what my brother said, and he said it had them off guard all day long.  I am guessing that they showed zone all day long and picked and chose where and when to send a LB or two.

I hope the Tartans don't take these last two games lightly.  Bethany is an improved team from last year and even though Thiel is down, they could still hurt the Tartans.  Many people on other boards believe Thiel will probably beat CMU, but I have faith that these Seniors and the rest of the team will put these games away and march into the playoffs.  None of their likely draws sound like a promising opponent.  I think CMU stands the best chance against W&J, but most people on the PAC board seem to think that W&J would "roll" over the Tartans.  I kindly pointed out that the Presidents are in a situation where CMU probably wants them in the first round considering their other likely pairings i.e. Mt. Union, Capital, UMHB.

Let's see them take care of these last two first.  Go Tartans!

cwru70, I don't think your Spartans will have too much trouble against GCC.  The Tartans shut GCC out and your Spartans gave CMU a decent game.  If I remember correctly, GCC only threatened once.  I believe they will get to that .500 mark your hoping for.

Geez, what happened, the short UAA schedule is over and everybody goes home?  No talk on here.  I've been spending my time on other boards since we have little or no action on here.

Sorry, I've had a busy couple of days.  I even missed updated CMU's rise to #27.

Kind of a blah week.  GCC and Bethany aren't teams to stir up much fire.  Bethany has improved, but not enough to challenge CMU.

CWRU's offense has as much capacity to give the game away as to win it.  I'm thinking Mirando should play most of the game, just put Whalen in at the end of each half where his daring style can't get into too much trouble.  Rosenbury's game picked up against Chicago...One yard short of 100.  The D should contain GCC, if the offense can just hold on to the ball and score at least three TD's.

Interesting with all the denigration of who CMU has played, that Whitworth also hasn't beaten a team with a winning record.  And they had to go to OT to beat a second division WIAC team.  Must be the NWC cache'.

I noticed that too.  I was going to bring it up on one of the playoff boards but I figured that I would get shredded for bringing that up.  Plus I am assuming that Whitworth's schedule has been strong in recent years and most of the teams they play are having down years.  I don't know.  I doubt that any UAA team will be taken seriously until they make a deep run into the playoffs.

As far as I can see the biggest Whitworth success was keeping within 15 points of Linfield in 2004 & 2005.

Oh well, all I could hope for is that CMU wins out and at least gets one playoff win.  That may get the proverbial monkey off their backs.

Yeah, there is quite a disparity in the Hansen poll between CMU and Whitworth.  CMU at #34 and Whitworth at #10??  I haven't checked any of the other polls, but I am assuming Whitworth is getting the same treatment in those as well.  Can't figure it out.  You're right, the only team they play worth anything is Linfield and you already stated what they did against Linfield in the recent past.  It's kind of funny.  I almost wish Thiel was having the kind of year they had last year so when CMU beats them it would really give them some respect, but what would that matter when its the last game of the season?

Checked the other polls.  Same situation:

D3.com poll - CMU is at 27 and Whitworth is at 10

AFCA poll - CMU is at 26 and Whitworth is at 9

Interesting enough, I would like to hear some of the reasons for this if their schedules are that comparable.  Don't want to get my head ripped off though, so I'm going to do a little research first then we'll see what some of the gurus have to say about it.
