90-0 is nothing, it could have been much worse.  Ask Cumberland.

Great stuff KS.  I remember reading that before but I love this part:

George Griffin, quarterback for the Engineers (and now dean at the school), recalls a moment when Heisman (the Georgia Tech coach) suddenly discovered a couple of Cumberland players seated on his bench. "He yelled at them to get back to their side of the field. They said, 'Give us a break. Don't make us go back. We'll have to go into the game.' "

Wow, that's amazing. Especially, since it involved Heisman himself. +K.

As someone older then most yof you guys, I personaly would not have run up 90 points, bu that being said, IMHO this was all about Nationa Recognition. Widner now has it. Remember the old saying "watch what you wish for, you may get it". They are a team with a big Bulls Eye on ther back.

I have a counterpoint here: if this was about national recognition, why pull the starters at all? Why not keep them in, keep firing, and go for 100 if you were really after national recognition?

Give me a break, guys. 28 points fourth-quarter points on a series of running plays by backups and a special teams fumble is NOT running up the score. You guys are way too hung up on the fact that "90" ended up on the scoreboard and not at all looking at how that came about.

For any who are interested Leb Val leads Widener 37-21 with about 5:00 left in the game.

[dlippiel]

4:40 left Widener just scored, impressive. 37-29.

[Jonny Utah]

Widener picks off o pass for a TD!

[dlippiel]

With 2 min and change left Widener intercepts LVC on 3rd and 6 and returns for a TD. Then scores on the 2 point conversion. Incredible game. Both team playing hard. Widener's O is ****ing nasty and athletic as hell.

Never mind

Well we now know how not to run up the score.  Just do what LVC did in the 4th quarter of that game.

Wow!....Warren...Your lads played very well today...If the stars and planets align the right way throughout and at the end of the next three weeks, it could be an interesting Homecoming and Coach "G" dedication on Oct 20th at Lyco!...Your boys have nothing to be ashamed of...They gave both us and Widener a great game!...Simba

   I was watching the Widener/LV game. The Q.b threw into double coverage both times. But coach should get the blame for his play calling with a 16 pt lead and 5 min to go.. LV played the better game.. But the score is what counts!

I left and went to take my mother out to dinner when LVC was up 37-21 with about 5 or 6 minutes left in the game and returned to witness a great comeback. Wow!

[Lyco80]

Funny thing, great comebacks are almost always accompanied by catastrophic collapses.  Concur with Simba - the Widener - Lycoming game could be one for all time.  But, Del Val still gets a shot at Widener at the end of the season so you just never know.  The MAC is often very unpredictable despite what posters, soothsayers, coaches, broadcasters and prognosticators think and write.

Go Yankees!  Go Warriors!

W&J may not be in the conference, but please keep the team, players, coaches, student body, and especially the player's family in mind during this horrible time: http://www.d3football.com/notables/2012/10/washington-and-jefferson-player-dies
