Whew!!!

Oberlin gave us quite a scare!!!

I hope our defense plays better than that in the future!

Those guys had over 450 yards against us!  Nevertheless, we extended our winning streak against the Obies to 26 straight.  Can anyone tell me if that's the longest current streak by any one team against another in Division III?

According to MtUnionFootball.com, the Purple Raiders have a streak of 31 over Otterbein and 30 over Marietta.

While I can't find the listings (and am too lazy to calculate it myself ), I'm pretty sure that several CCIW teams have streaks of 30+ against North Park.

This may be the strongest the UAA has ever been.

out of curiosity...does UAA receive a A pool bid for the playoffs?

Big win for Wash U the other day...congrats!

No, all 4 UAA teams are in Pool B.

Thnx for returning the video link favor.  Nice catch Hopefully #%$@#@& Time Warner won't screw up my connection like they did last Saturday.

This may be the last time to look at the reserves in action this year.  Speaking of reserves, the JVs have beaten BW twice this season.  BW is 3-3, its only other loss to MtUnion.  Of course I know JV scores are about as meaningful as NFL pre-season scores.  Anyone know the result of any other CWRU JV games?

Re: JV games, I'm curious how many JV games most D3 schools actually play.  I was fortunate enough to play early at CMU, so it never would have impacted me directly...but I know that a lot of guys basically mailed it in by the middle of their freshman year b/c they never got to play (we had one JV game a year, usually against the Robert Morris JV's...and once I think our JV's played the Grove City JV's).

I can't help but wonder if our retention rate would be a little higher if we played a more extensive JV schedule (Duquesne, Robert Morris, Allegheny, and the PAC schools are all within reasonable driving distance for a Monday-afternoon JV game).  At least there would be an incentive for the freshmen to keep playing hard in practice.

This weekend's games:

CWRU @ Hiram...not exactly scared of this one.  CWRU goes to 6-0.

Chicago @ Kenyon...Chicago SHOULDN'T have any trouble.  Chicago goes to 5-2.

WashU @ Wooster...big game for the Bears.  Will they have a letdown the week after a huge upset, or will they come out flying high with confidence?  Wooster has a little momentum (and also played Bash very close this year), but I still think Wash wins.  Wash goes to 4-2.

CMU off this week.  Stays 4-2.

UAA standings will look very impressive at the start of league play.

I've not done an extensive study, nor do I have numbers to back this up, but I think the typical JV slate would be 4-5 games. By the latter stages of the season, schools tend to curtail the JV schedule to keep kids healthy (and eligible) because they may be needed in varsity games.

Mount Union plays a full 10 on a regular basis.

Thanks, Pat.  4-5 games a year (even if they're all early in the season) seems like a nice slate for schools with 70+ players, assuming that there are nearby schools willing to play (even if they're NAIA, D2, or I-AA schools).

I just figured for a school like CMU (middle-of-the-road team with 100+ players) it would make sense to play more JV games.  As stated above, most of the freshman at CMU would typically mail it in by midseason once they realized they weren't going to play that year (i.e. skipping workouts, coming to practice late, milking injuries to get out of practice).  I wonder if a more extensive JV schedule would provide some motivation for those guys to stick with it.

Typically the CWRU JV squad plays both JCU and BW twice with maybe another local game (Lake Erie, Notre Dame).

[ADL70]

XTP  Chicago-Kenyon is next week.  The Lords have their hands full this week with Wittenberg. The Maroons are idle this week.

JCU and BWC post JV scedules.  CWRU plays each twice.  BW posts scores JC does not.  CWRU JVs played NDC before the Falcons were varsity. 

Other nearby JV teams are Wooster, Hiram, Heidelberg, Muskingam, and Ohio Northern.

I'm hoping the Spartans get off to a quick start and Debs will put Snyder in the second quarter to get some reps when he can run the whole offensenot just handing offf to kill the clock.  Would be great if he can get a dozen or so pass attempts.

Washington 14, Wooster 13--FINAL

Bears forced two huge turnovers in the final quarter--one on an interception as Wooster was driving deep in Wash-U territory early in the 4th, and a fumble on Wooster's last possession with under 2 minutes to play.

Wash-U was fortunate to get those turnovers, as Wooster moved the ball pretty well for most of the day.  The Scots hurt themselves with penalties and a missed extra point after their final score with under 4 minutes to play.

Great road win nonetheless for Wash-U!
