FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[thewaterboy]

Good effort to Del Val this past Saturday. There were some awful calls on both sides. Del Vals D made some great plays on those interceptions, and showed QB Justin Sottilare what a top 10 defense was like. Good luck the rest of the season!

Just checked out the AFCA Coaches Poll. (5) teams represented from the East.

13.  Ithaca
14.  Del Val
19.  Montclair
21.  Fisher
22.  Cortland

Interesting how defferent people vote. I can't see how they have Ithaca ahead of Del Val. No knock on Ithaca. I can see Fisher and Cortland getting some love. Still it is really too early in the season. After everyone plays (5) games we should have a better idea. Let's hope the East gets stronger this year.

It ain't over till it's over, and when you get to the fork in the road, take it.

don't see any real threat to dvc this weekend...think they win going away...

Just coming back to reality after a real nice bus trip last week to Tennessee, but congrats to FDU beating TCNJ, and also, to LVC's Brittany Ryan, Special Teams, out of Easton Area High School for setting the record.  You are soooo right, pbr, Del Val looks very good this weekend  - it's that following one we have to watch out for!  As always, GO AGGIES!!!

Not sure where everyone is today - but hey - the Warriors are leading 20 - 14 over IC with seconds to go in the first half - not yet a W but a heck of a showing for the lads from Williamsport so far against a ranked - even if it is only regionally - team.

Go Warriors!

To paraphrase a Yankee announcer  - "The Warriors Win!" 

Long drive to seal the deal with 2 minutes to go in the game.   IC tried to ice the kicker twice calling time out but the end result was a 26 - 24 Win.

Nice to get one against the Bombers.

Go Warriors!

Nice win for Lycoming. FDU-Florham also improved to 3-0 for the first time since 1994.  Looks like it'll be a fun conference season.

[Lyco80]

I guess all the Lycoming posters have long since moved on as I expected to see some chatter after yesterday's victory over Ithaca.

IC could not mount a running game.  What truly makes me wonder is their ranking before this game - are they that good, or were they hyped, did Lyco get lucky, is Lyco better than predicted?

Naturally, the play will answer most of these questions but I still am left wondering - and of course - hoping that this squad is as tough and talented as they looked yesterday.

Fact:  with the game on the line and just a little more than two minutes to go they worked the ball down to within the shadow of the goal post for a short field goal.

Good teams make those kind of drives and seal it with a W.

Let's see how the rest of the season unfolds but for now call me Cautiously Optimistic.

Well if you look at some of the comparative scores, Rowan, Ithaca and Lycoming had some pretty close games.  I'd put all three of those teams on the cusp of the top 25.

As for Ithaca's running game, it has been hurting for the last two years.  They still seem to try to run to set up the pass, as the passing game has been excellent the last two years.  Ithaca does have 5 really great receivers and tight ends, but one of their top receivers over the past 10 years was out with an injury and so was their starting TE.

Their defense had been very solid as well and their ranking had probably more to do with their being undefeated with one solid win (Union) while a lot of other east teams had either one loss or no solid wins.

I respect the Bombers program and always look at them during the preseason.  But I was very surprised that the coaches' poll had Ithaca ranked 13th coming off a 7-3 season.  That said, Lycoming can challenge for the title.

It's the coaches poll. No surprise a highly ranked team in the coaches poll got upset.

Thanks, Pat and Adam Samrov, for the nice football front-page story on LVC PK Britanny Ryan.

Sorry to jump in so late but did anyone at the IC game wonder why IC didn't use the time outs to stop the clock to give themselves an opportunity to drive back for a win instead of using them to ice the kicker???  Seemed odd to me unless I am missing something.
