Yeah I'm just going to go out on a limb and say if your rushing teams played against the E8 teams they would not fare as well.  I know that is stretching it, but I feel like being risky...

NLNG, what I meant was that the top rushers may be in the NEFC because the NEFC lacks in rush defense so it is earlier to run the ball and get yardage.  Just look at the NFL, everyone tries to run against the Colts because they have a poor run defense.  Also, as much as I like the NEFC, they could not rack up the rushing numbers playing against the E8 or LL teams.  The NEFC is improving, but still has a long way to go to get up there with the E8 and LL.

I think the NEFC schools' football problems, in general, come from the schools' administration.

Massachusetts currently has a question on next tuesday's ballot to eliminate the state income tax.  If it passes (which I don't think it will), there is a 99% chance that every single d3 Massachusetts State School Football program will be eliminated.

Don't they really need to look at combining/eliminating some of the campuses?

Don't they really need to look at combining/eliminating some of the campuses?

The theory behind not combining/eliminating campuses (with out cutting services ie: football) is the affordability and access for lower income families are who end up getting hurt the most.  closing/combining campuses results in less students attending  making higher fees and tuition for everyone, combined with the lost tution/fees from the closed school.

Im sure someone who knows what they are doing can make this happen, but this is the arguement that is used.

[Pat Coleman]

Gotcha.

I've been asking that question for years and this is the first answer other than "politics" that I've heard.

[vttanker]

Folks if we're going to talk stats lets get it right without comparing one conference to another, because it's all relative.  Why does the NEFC have the top runners.  Because the run is working big time this year and there are a lot of capable runners getting a lot of touches.  Not rocket science. 

If I use the same logic about passing I could argue that the E8 has the worst pass defenses around.  Why?  Because Hartwick is the #1 passing team in D3.  And against Ithaca, Alfred, and St John Fisher they averaged 366 yds/game.  And they still have Utica. Norwich, and Springfield to play.  Nobody is going to catch them with those games left on their schedule.  Now Hartwick has the #212 defense.  Who does that remind you of - Fitchburg (#10-offense, #231-defense)?  Score a lot of points - give up just as many.

If you look at Salisbury - #1 rushing team in D3, an obscene 417 yds/game.  Yet they don't have a single runner in the top ten.  Their best is 54th, but they have three in the top 100.  They spread the ball around.  They are also #234 in passing (next to last), yet they are 7-1.  If the run works, why not run.

At the end of the season Jack Phelan of Hartwick is going to end up the #1 receiver (yds/game).  He is so far ahead of everybody else it's unlikely he'll get caught.  Likewise, a runner for the NEFC has a good chance to be the top rusher in D3.  In the end the Mount Unions of the world can rightly say - "If you played us...."  But we don't and that's that.

It's all relative.

It's all about drugs (question #2), gamblin' (question #3) and taxin' my crib (question #1).....
