cwru70,

OK.  If we could get all those hosses back, we'll be pretty damned tough up front!!!

Nick Sachenda, aka "Monster Nick" could also have an impact!

It's a bit early to be splittin' hairs here, but someone is in love with the capitalized version of trememdous.......does this signify anything...?...cuz' I saw both QB's against CMU and neither one even looked tremendous with just a capital T.

Let's not also forget that until the conference season starts all bets are running through Pittsburgh........with a very formidable Wing-T that is returning all of the key components including 4 out of 5 starting OL.  If anything.....the offense should be even more lights out this year.  The defense is going to need some time to start playing together because there will be some new faces at key positions, but CMU has enough veteran leadership on both sides of the ball to at least be a major contender for the UAA and a possible second straight trip to the playoffs.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing more that I like better than to see rivals give each other a hell of a game.......it sounds like CMU and CWRU are going to be having some battles in the next couple years.
When we are gone the only thing that matters is what we have done.  Not what we wanted to do or what we failed to accomplish.  How will you be remembered?

Tartan,

CMU is indeed going to be tough to beat, and should be considered the favorite.

But CWRU athletics has been going through a recent Renaissance, and our football program, with its back to back record size recruiting classes, will soon be capable of challenging for a conference title.

Next season's "Academic Bowl" could be a whale of a game!

Maj-

There was a bunch of bulk on the bench, but smaller players started.

BTD-

True Whalen was inconsistent, but he led last minute drives to win two games, and almost did it at WUStL as well.  Still he has shown more potential than performance.

CWRU - I agree with the potential in Whalen.....I saw that much in just the time he was in against CMU, but as surprising as this sounds, I don't think the Shotgun is his offense......he seems to be more of a play-action capability QB.  He threw better on the move then just sitting back in the gun or quick slants.

Major - You could say that CMU's football is going through a Renaissance of its own.......don't forget that next years team is going to be loaded with seniors and key juniors but according to my brother, who plays DL, CMU has alot of talent in the lower ranks as well.  Of course not having a losing season in 31 years helps get some good D3 ballplayers through the doors.  Also, next years "Academic Bowl" is at Gesling so......

I'm not real up to speed on Chicago or WUStL mainly because nobody posts much about them here, but I do believe that they won't be push-overs........anybody know if that stud defensive lineman WUStL had graduated or not??  Drew Whethington or something like that was his name.

Wethington was listed as a SR last year and is not on the WUStL 2007 roster.  The Bears have almost zero experience at QB FWIW.  Chicago loses a lot after a disappointing season.

I'm pretty sure Whalen was in a similar offense in HS.  You can still move the pocket around from the gun.  He was often on the move last year due to protection breaking down.

Yes, I saw him on the move and in trouble against CMU's front three, but I didn't see a whole lot from their offense where they moved the pocket on purpose.....but I only saw one game.

Considering the close game WUStL had against CWRU and losing to CMU at home, it would seem like they played better on the road.......I know they kicked CMU's butts the year before at Gesling.

I think Chicago has a pretty talented RB coming back, but I could be mistaken.  I think Shey was his name and I think he was a Jr. last year.

Nick Schey was All-UAA 1st team in 2005, but injured much of last year.  Chuck Little was the RB who played against CMU last year and he was 2nd team All-UAA.  Each could return.  The UAA release listed Schey as a Jr in 2005, but Chicago listed him as a JR last season.

Yeah, I remember seeing Shey on the sideline.......I believe it was an ankle or shoulder injury.

At this point, you are just hoping that guys stay healthy through their off-season regimen....at least that's the case from my point of view.  I don't know that CMU has had as talented an offense as they are going to have next year.  I can't wait to see Sivek and Gimson cuttin' up the turf.  I know Sivek is the feature back, but I love watching Gimson run the ball......he's just hardnose for being a smaller guy.

Nine players have been scratched from the Spartan returners roster.  Noteably the aforementioned Madden and Tichar. 

Schey's name is pronounced Shay like mine and Nick Shay was the main character in Don DeLillo's Underworld.

I take it that Tom Brew is still listed on the returnee roster??

Brew, an All-American last season according to at least one publication, is indeed on the returnees roster.

He must have received a medical redshirt, or something like that.

You can say 'by D3football.com' -- it's OK. :)

Brew, a 3rd team D3football.com AA, was injured in 2005's 3rd game.  Hence he has another year of eligibility.  Although I'm pretty sure the NCAA doesn't call it a redshirt.

With the nine names just deleted, I suspect that Returnees Roster is more like "players with eligibility remaining who haven't said they won't be playing."

Has Brew got a reason to return other than football? 

For example.....Does he need to return for any classes?
