FB: Conference of New England

[dlippiel]

What the **** was that??

[D3playsforpassion]

On a side note, some very sad news.  Plymouth State's former Quarterback, John DeMarco, lost his mother last week in a tragic car accident.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to John and his family at this very difficult time.

Well in any case the game will be interesting. Take a look at Maine's history they are a notorious late starting team even losing to MIT and Becker last year to start the year. They averaged 4.5 yds a rush but I think the underlying problem for them in the Bridgewater game was the 4 fumbles, and losing 2 of them. But as of late the Maine attack has been on fire, and they have shown the threat to throw the ball as well, which has eluded them at times.

One of your big attack statements for Curry is the Inner D line / LB play of Curry. Most teams are taking away Bower in the middle by stuffing those lanes with thier DT and ILB. But as a I stated earlier Bouroussa and Angell are becoming more of a focal point and moving the option laterally for HUGE numbers. This essentially takes out the core players of Driscoll and your 2 D tackles who will be responsible for the fullback in your scenario.

I've seen Maine play and they also do a great job at running counters and outside lead plays with bower as the lead blocker which have been shredding teams apart this year. If you just focus on the triple option, you will get burn because this team has shown they can do a variety of things out of their option formation.

I give Curry alll the respect in the world. The last 5 years they have been the top dog in the NEFC and rose the conference to a new level of respect in the East. Plymouth St could also be given some credit for this as well, BUT Curry has made us a noticable conference to talk about. I believe Curry is down this year, and from the beginning I thought Maine was on the up. I'm just trying to stick with my guns from the beginning of the year. If Curry wins great, because they will represent the conference well in the playoffs as usual.

Curry will win this game hands down.  MM may try to mix it up by throwing the ball a little and using a more conventional offensive attack at times, but Curry will be ready for that.  I'm all for parity and a new team to take the reigns but I just don't see it happening this year.  Curry 28-10

[Boxer7806]

I respect that. I think parity has hit the conference just not at the very top as of yet. Curry got all it could handle from some unexpected teams this year including Westfield which they only snuck by 7-6. Perfect examples of parity is WNEC in the Boyd with a 5-2 record in the division and Framingham on the Bogan with two .500 seasons. Those two teams were the bottom or around the bottom of the leauge for a while.

Umass D once a power is now 0-10 and even Mass Martime is starting to turn its program around while Worcester St is in the stretch of a rebuilding year. Heck Maine use to be one of the worst teams in New England in the early 2000's. That is what good coaching and recruiting will do for you.

plymouth is ecac bound?

[Boxer7806]

If Curry wins they are most likely ECAC bound.

[Frank Rossi]

Final Regional Rankings that we'll get to see publicly are now available:

http://www.d3football.com/dailydose/

Springfield does not fall far and remains above Union and Maine Maritime, which both stay at #10 and #9 respectively.  Interesting set of rankings.

[Boxer7806]

That is interesting since Pat has stated that most of the regional rankings have been based off of W-L record then SOS. Still has no effect on Maine or Curry. If Either team wins they will not play MUC in the first round becuase of the 500 mile rule.

Just saying they are 8-2 and not in the running for a Pool C so ECAC is very likely. Plus they are made with bits of real panther, so you know they're good.
