FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

UMHB gives up 21? I doubt it. 14, maybe, but 21?

Friday Fact of the Week

Fact:

MAC vs. NJAC (2014-2017): 10-8 (.555)

2018: 1-4*
2017: 3-2 (.600)
2016: 1-4 (.200)
2015: 3-1 (.750)
2014: 3-1 (.750)

*Not included in overall W-L due to unfinished 2018 MAC vs. NJAC schedule

Reaction:

After last week's MAC vs. NJAC clash, I assumed that the NJAC had a superior W-L total the past five years. I was surprised to actually find the MAC has been rather competitive. Most would agree the NJAC traditionally is the better conference, but this shows the MAC holds its weight.

Can you advise what  the breakdown of the top teams in each conference is vs the others?  DVU has had great success v Wesley, but if you take the other top MAC teams...say WU, Stevenson, Albright, Lyco (or the next best record in that time) and pair their records with Rowan, CNU, Salisbury and Frostburg, I'd be curious to see if there is a disparity in the records of the conferences in the top tier vs. all others.

My initial impression is that other than DVU, the NJAC has dominated at the top tier while the lower tier advantage has gone to the MAC...  I could be totally wrong.  If you don't have that detail, no worries.  I can look it up later.  I am heading out shortly to Albright to see the Albright/UHMB game.  It may be the only chance I get to see UMHB in person anytime soon...

If anyone else is going, hit me up.   I always wear a Nebraska hat to D3 games so I can easily be identified...

Interesting... Widener predicted to go 10-0 and here they sit at 0-2.

Well, at least UMHB took it easy today. Yikes.

Was there...
They did nothing wrong.  They started subbing in 2nd quarter etc...
The back-ups were scoring at will.  Albright (as expected) was outmatched at every position (except punter)...

Love hearing this from a non-UMHB person. Was UMHB as fast in person as they looked online?

I have no qualms with them scoring 91 points in any form or fashion. You just don't see that many points that often. I'm very impressed.

Where all the experts who had Widener winning the Mac Championship? 🤔🤔🤔

the quadruple Monkey Stomp! Do we call that a King Kong Stomp at that point?

Gee (I guess) a relative of the DVU QB posting that...what a shocker.. ,

Last I checked, WU is  0-0 in conference play.   These games are only tiebreakers...

UMHB has not had a true punter for a few seasons now. Coach likes to use skill guys to do the punting so that he has one more person on the field. Last year it was our third string QB. The year before that, it was our All American, HS QB Baylor Mullins. It has worked out really well.

Interesting... Widener predicted to go 10-0 and here they sit at 0-2.

Widener coaching gets an F minus. The program has problems and Coach Kelly is on the verge of losing the locker room. Kelly is showing no leadership, no ownership, just arrogance and blames it all on the team. If Coach Kelly thinks the best way to win is with his QB running the ball then both him and his OC Brayniak are totally brainless. Everyone knows the QB never could, and won't, run the ball.  Widener has two strong running backs who barely touched the ball all game and it cost the team big time. Terrible play calling! The offensive is a mess and D is giving up way too many points. Kelly better come up with something quick.
