In reference to LVC's Kelly running vs running for his life, it probably is a little of both.  However, keep in mind with the exception of Mike Dougherty (graduated), this is virtually the same oline the past 3 seasons, with one more left.  Experience is a great teacher.  Granted, there are superior olines in the MAC, however Kelly has it better than his predessor.  Also, Monas runs a fullback in his offense, Selechia didn't giving the QB a little more protection than in the past.  Defense is still suspect.  For LVC to achieve being in the upper half of the MAC, (Like I think they can), the D is going to have to pick it up.  Remember Kelly rushed for over 100 yards against Gburg and passed for substantial yards.  When comparing Kelly to his peers in the MAC ,there is probably not another QB in the league that is as much of a threat on the ground.

Great Job Aggies!!!!!!!!!!!

Very disappointed to see the LVC-Kings score today.  Starting the season at 0-2 was not what I had envisioned for this year's team.  I was not at the game and did not get to listen on the webcast, although I did listen to the webcast of the G-Burg game.  Does anyone who saw the game have any insight into why we have started 0-2?

Aggies 49 - FDU - 3

Yeah, Aggies...

[maAggie5]

that was 588 total offensive yards! Knoblauch 19 of 33 for 281 and Carmon had 8 catches for 161 yards

Not so great moments in sports predictions...

"I really don't think the Jets can win the Superbowl, no matter what Namath says..."

"No one's beating the Red Army hockey team in the Olympics..."

"For what it's worth, I think Leb Val's offense with Kelly and his receivers can score.  I'm less confident in King's ability to do so."

Okay, so I'm a doofus.  A doofus who was wrong about King's.  A doofus who was very wrong about King's. 

I revoke my own privileges to talk about the Monarch's offense until I clear my thoughts with Bob Ziadie.

Seriously, nice job by the Monarchs.    My sincere apologies, Bob.

Wow!  What happened at the Albright game???  Is Ursinus that tough of a team this year???  I was very surprised to see how close that game was.

Also, what's up with the HUGE scoring of points???  Iwas reading the scoreboard and there was a game 69-62 plus lots of scores in the 40's and 50's while the opponents were very low scoring.  Don't these teams put their secondaries in???

Specialist:

ReadytoRock was at Del Val's game so he knew about Miller.

You were at Albright's game and knew about their kicker.  Seems fair to me.  Whatever the award is, I hope he shares it with Port.

dog...thankd for the quick update on Albrights "Newbie" receiving corp...looking forward to that game an observing the talent.  I will be checking their stats on the MAC website.  Sounds like Albright wasnt firing on all 8 today??

bman...Sorry, I lost my head regarding Simba.  I think we may hear from him maybe 4 times this year???

MacFan762.....49-3 DVC at FDU...Yes that was a romp.

Gordo....what is the PAT conference record??

[Billman56]

MOJO...I havent observed Kelly this year but when comparing QBs' as a ground threat you may want to take a look at DVCs' Knoblauch. He has a great set of wheels. Today he ran down a player who made a pic on him approximately 70 yards and caught him from behind. He is a definite threat by ground or air.

Readytorock...nice game for your guy today, especially in the end zone...

[Billman56]

Ubrmeasap......Well here it was again today, another slow start for DVC...7-3 1st quarter.  Maybe we have to beat that mule in pregame to get him fired up??? Any suggestions.

MacFan....Just FYI, the 2nd team for DVC played most of the 4th quarter. I know I was presumpious in preditcing that, but then again it was only a prediction. Look like your team had a good day. Congrats...

Billman,
Albrights O seemed decent today.  Not their usual selves all and all, but the youg wr's played well.  The game was so close due to the fact that the Albright Special Teams unit manged 5 turnovers.  Including a fumble on the opening kick.  The D played great, and The O, especially some of the young wideouts looked pretty good throughout (although the offense was barley on the field in the first quarter) they came back from a 24 - 0 (special teams) deficit.  And played big at the end. IMHO they will be a very tough team throughout the year. A wins a Win right?

[Billman56]

dog...sounds like the team is just geeting started, getting the kinks out...Yes a "W" is a "W" as long as it is in the right column...Good Luck

[bman]

I have to admit, I am pretty bummed about WUs start.  I was hearing good things, but it seems that every year recently, they trip themselves up at the beginning of the season, and by the end of the season are in a win at all costs mode...which they haven't done....

Anybody see the game/have some analysis?

[MOJO]

Gosh, did I make a wrong call.  I was certain that LVC would handle Kings.  I was wrong!  Kings played a great game.  I will still remain hopeful for the Dutchman, but they are now at crunch time, with their toughest games yet to come.  If they don't take care of business this week with Juniata, it appears the program is losing ground from last year.  How good is Lyco?  Concerning Knoblauch vs Kelly being a threat on the ground, Knoblauch is playing behind a superior o-line and seldom gets flushed from the pocket.  Historically, being a LVC QB is akin to being a kamikaze pilot.  Minimal protection and massive impact at the conclusion of the mission (play).
