FB: Conference of New England

Not a bad performance by FSC.....the Falcons were down 14-13 at one point.  We will soon see if this is a case of FSC turning the corner or Springfield having a very down year.

I remember last year in the Quarterfinals Fisher was toe to toe with Mount Union tied at 0's before Mount Union ended up winning 52-10.  Springfield won by 4 touchdowns so it wasn't exactly close.

Well I went to the game and although FSC did some nice things offensively, Springfield fumbled 9 times and lost 4 of those.  It could have been worse.  Plus you don't beat anybody giving up 500+ yards rushing

[defenseiskey]

If you don't capitalize on teams mistakes then you cannot win especially giving up over 500 yards like previoulsy mentioned. Congrats to Curry and Westfield on their win. Good luck to Bridgewater State vs Rowan seems like they are putting up a good battle right now in the second quarter (0-0)

Well alright here we go again , PSU looked good today against ST A's always room for improvement though . Looks like they've almost  filled the gaps left behind from graduating SRs . Mack looked good today over 200 yds rushing . I believe the butterflies have left the building .
Where is Big Don (Big Lew ) from Merrimac ?

[dingle40]

right here tom harry. will be up there soon... hopefully they give us a 6pack for the parking fee.

how bout the other teams in the leauge this year... MIT beat Maine Maritime in a thriller and even Framingham started out the year with a win against Endicott... i agree with others about Fitchburg but they have to learn to stop other teams which i dont think they will be able to do ... that defense was awful last year and lost thier top returning tackler... sleeper pick is Umass D and Worcester ST who looked awful good against curry... any thoughts?

[fscbaby]

who had the top performances QB, RB,WR wise this week......

[Boxer7806]

Bruce Rich was the offensive player of the week in the conference and he plays for Framingham... if you want to find out some of the other top performaces you can go on the New England Football Conference website and view the players of the week and the honor roll that goes with them for other good performances by players from around the leauge...

[InTheMix]

Nichols over Framingham in a close one: 38-35
WPI tops Worcester State: 14-10
UMD over Bridgewater: 24-13
WNEC over Westfield: 38-14
Plymouth State tops Mt. Ida: 50-21
RPI over Endicott: 49-10

Game of the Week
Curry over Fitchburg: 42-24
On paper this looks like a good game, but I think Curry had their wake-up call last week. Look for them to put this one away early

Glad to have football back!
