You might as well count it as all five.  J.P. White is the only Senior on the O-Line, but when he was out for a while I believe an underclassmen came in and did a great job.  Forgive me, but I can't recall his name right now.  Yes, CMU is looking to reload next year as they lose Mulkern and a couple good receivers on offense.  They are graduating more on defense, but alot more players have rotated in on that side of the ball this year.  It will be tough replacing Lewis and Scarmazzi at the safety spots, but they have a pretty athletic freshman that could see a starting position next year at safety.  Losing the two ILB's will hurt too, but the defense will have a chance to grow and get better while the offense that returns picks up wherever it leaves off this year.

Heres some karma back for you BD.  Should probably steer clear of the PAC board.  Theyre afraid to get dragged into the travel arrangements in later weeks should they draw you guys in the first round of the playoffs.  Really think you guys will be moved regionally for the sake of brackets, but at no expense travelwise geographically. 

How well did Ploetzner play this past weekend and whats his condition look like going into a potential postseason run?  Probably no more important position in playoff football than the enforcer in the middle.

Potential for two thousand yard backs is something, but in the wing t Ill take one with 900 and two others with 700.  They all have to block for each other, something unfamiliar to the trophy backs of some systems.

Good prospect talk for next year as well, considering the returners and those who have become experienced filling in for injured seniors over the course of a long season.

Thanks for the karma MacLeod.  I'll take your advice.  I would say Ploetzner is pretty health now.  He had two tackles against Bethany, but with them throwing the ball up the field 95% of the time the leading tacklers were DB's.

Sivek has 1,000, Gimson has 825 and Whitman and Cakert(who have split time pretty equally) have chipped in about 150 apiece.

I expect Thiel to give CMU a great game and tune them up for the playoffs.

Nice to see the defense play well against a system completely foreign to their own.  Running teams can stop the run because they see it in practice, and passing teams rush and cover well.  CMU doing well against a spread team bodes well. 

Sometimes when a team is diescast to play a certain way they become unbalanced.  A power running team is tough and strong but lacks finesse and a spread or run and shoot passing team has finesse  but not enough grit.

While Bethany is by no means a world beater, they did come back in a very fast pace against a fellow oneback team in Franklin, who I think youll be hosting in the opening round.  Bethanys shakedown with TMC in a few weeks will give better scope and clarity as to where the UAA stands against the up and coming HCAC as Franklin and MSJ will have opponents in commmon with your own.

Still would like to see Erdelyi go to more rocket motion to open the laser and passing game, but that would just be too Houston.

Erdelyi has his knocks, but you should have seen his play-calling last year.  I must say that he has made leaps and bounds this year compared to last.  Remembering the Thiel game, I should have seen his play-calling during that game as a pre-cursor to this year.  It seemed like he ran the same 5 or 6 plays over and over again last year.

You mentioning Franklin is the first time I've heard them as a first round opponent.

I also forgot to mention MacLeod that Bethany was the fourth team out of the last five games that ran the spread against CMU so............they did well against all the teams that ran it.  The only team that gave them a really good fight was CWRU.

Good.  Now let's hope they win out and at least make a good showing in the playoffs so they can build off of that ranking.

That should be entertaining.  W&L need a win to have any hope of a chance at the playoffs do they not?  CWRU could play spoiler and get to .500 in the process.

Well, it sounds like CMU is in win or lose.  I assume that if they win they probably host and if they lose the travel somewhere.

W&L has clinched the ODAC AQ.  The game could be interesting.  Last year Debeljak used the finale' to unveil Joe Brenner as a WR.  Wonder what he will have up his sleeve this year?  Need to find WRs and a NT for next year.

Yeah, sounds like a good game for a stepping stone to next year.

So who do you think wins if CMU and W&J hook up in the first round?
