FB: Conference of New England

Took a trip to Milton to see the game today..
How in the world did that Hartwick team beat both IC and StJF??
I was expecting this crazy offense and saw nothing.
It was over when Wick woke up.

I bought a game program shocked to see on Wicks schedule, Becker , Husson.  Wow.

Congrats to Curry on the win!

I'm looking forward to the SJF-Curry matchup next weekend in Rochester.  Seems like it will be a great game!

Upstate... just be happy the NEFC won... in your opinion they wouldnt of gotten in without the auto..but you know what they did becuase they beat SJF and Ithaca... so dont try to put a dampen on the victory... not many ppl were givin Curry a chance and to be honest that game was a blowout...a blowout similar to the one you guys would all say happen if Hartwick played SJF or Ithaca this weekend... maybe Curry is better than all you guys thought

The E8 has been trying to down play the Hartwick wins to IC and StJF all week.
Like I said last week..
70 + points surrendered to Utica
40 + points to WNEC

Those are facts.....

Curry is very strong on both sides of the lines.  StJF is very similar in styles.
Both 44 based on D, both I form on O.  Both QB's are very disciplined with the ball... their passing eff is like 140 for both.
Curry huddles and St John Fisher is total slow huddle

Wick is a totally different team on the road, actually they are HORRID....

Wick at home:
IC (8-3)-W: 32-30
HUSSON (6-3)-W: 35-27
SJF (10-1)-W: 31-28
Mt.IDA (3-7)-W: 35-14
SC (4-6)-W: 37-34

Wick on Road:
WNEC (3-7)-L:48-21
AU (8-3)-L: 46-36
Becker (2-7)-W: 61-32
NU (2-8)-W: 19-13
UC (3-7)-W: 72-70 (4OT)

See the pattern....

Wick shouldnt of even been in the NCAA's...

Dont even try to use score comparison, If you do you'll think that Wick could hang with MUC since IC did and Wick beat IC...

Congrats, you beat the E8's 4th best team...

SJF doesnt run an I form, except on short yardage/goal line.  For the most part they are in either the Shot gun or single back formation w/ either one or two TE's....

I thought I saw some I in last years game at Springfield.  Otherwise I have not seen then in 2007.  Last I knew their DC loved the 4-4.  Am I still correct on that one? I did see alot of two Te and thought they were a powerful bunch of players.

I did see the Hartwick road scores and I agree but they still beat the other two E8 playoff teams.  Did IC overlook the Wick?? Is that possible?? That is not IC's fashion to overlook any one.

They graduated a pretty good FB and decided to go w/o one this year for the most part.  They will occasionally get their TE in the backfield and move him around alot. 

The TE's are pretty good, Harmon is a preseason AA and has been asked to block a bit more than last year.  Their other one is a 6-5 240lb Sophmore that has great hands and is a decent blocker. 

Their 4-4 is sill there, Faggiano does a great job at scheming and getting pressure from the OLBers.

Early on IC was not playing good football, they weren't tackling well to begin the season and were struggling to find their identity.  After SJF beat them for the first time EVER at their house they turned things around and went on a tear. 

Wick got lucky in both games, the coaching staff for SJF and IC didnt bring their A game and made some questionable decisions in each game.

 Congrats to Curry !!!!  I knew you could do it !! After seeing Curry play this year I knew they were the real deal .

X (boXer) I was at the Plymouth game . Hats of to Plymouth 9- 1

Very good game 24-21 . Plymouth controlled the clock , Bridgewater a good passing team . H2O QB got knocked out of the game I believe early in the 2nd half or late in the 2nd quarter .

Jeff Mack got the MVP ( running back) of the game . It was very cold up north with the wind howling at your back . I'm now hoarse from yelling all game .  4 sacks in the game . My son got a sack late in the 3rd for an 8 yard loss , nearly brought a tear to the "old mans" eye. Damn I wish I had been playing in that game.
The team had given the coach a bath in the end BBRRR that must have raised the hair on the back of his neck and put the turtle into hibernation.

Well I have to say Plymouth was much more fun to watch than previous years . I really don't see much change for next year either, other than trying to fill the "BUS" position (Jeff Eithier). This championship should help them recruit as well for next year.

OK Curry , it's your turn to carry the torch to the next level for the NEFC, let's get it done ! GOOD LUCK and take it to the house .

Upstate is right.  Fisher runs alot of one-back sets on offense.  They also run alot of plays from the shotgun.  They are a very balanced team, which likes to both run and pass the ball with equal effectiveness.  When they are clicking, they are very tough to stop.

Defensively, Fisher is a base 4-4 team.  Their defense has been incredible this season, especially coming down the stretch.  They like to bring pressure with the OLB's, and they stunt occasionally with the defensive line.  It's very hard to run the ball against Fisher.  Plus, passing on them is tough too, they have the best secondary in the East Region in my opinion. 

If someone would be so kind, could we get a little bit of information on Curry?  What do they do offensively and defensively?  Thanks a bunch.  And good luck next weekend!

[theoriginalupstate]

Watch out for Matt Becton at DT, who im quickly developing a man crush on, he's a monster at 6-6 360.  He constantly requires a double team on every play.  Dont let his size fool you, he can move, he can get after the QB as well.  You'll have trouble throwing passes over the middle when he gets his paws up in the air. 

[oldcurryalum]

upstate... The Curry qb is no slouch himself at 6ft 4. He has all the tools and according to yesterdays score, knows how to use them.  Before the yesterdays game, I read all the ramblings on this board about Hartwick and how they should be feared etc. If I were St John Fisher, I wouldnt take Curry to lightley.

[oldcurryalum]

Sorry about my typos etc.

Well done Curry and congrats to the NEFC in general.

Didn't see it coming and no one should discount this win....we killed this conference for being unable to get an NCAA 'W'.  Now you have it.....the monkey is off the NEFC's back.
