FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

BP, I see you are on the boards bright and early, (or up very, very, late.)  Nice stats, I always find comfort in the statisical data and always a better approach than the, "my dad can beat up your dad," style, IMHO.  But you know that they say about why they play the game.  Looks like we will see if the 08 Hawks can play football in the snow.  Our teams the past few years have been dynamite at it.  Off for the last tailgate at the PERK this season or maybe I should call it the first ski trip.  Going to challenging weather but nothing that a firepit, hand warmers and moonshine won't take care of. 
   Take it to 'em, Hawks, for 4 quarters!  Let's hope that when we get up, coaches won't get too conservative early. Tends to shut us down and allow for a few teams to come back on us in the 4th. Ex: Bearkitties and Point! 
    Safe travels to all and PACK THE PERK!

No doubt that none of those statistics will matter once the ball is kicked off. I am thrilled with what this young team has been able to accomplish this year. For the record, I was up early!

 We also have a 5'7 167 pound freshman running back that plays.

I watched part of the Monmouth...Wartburg game on video. The little guys from Wartburg are damn good, no matter what size they are. Much the same as our small cornerback.

Ummm... UWSP gained only 89 yards per game and 2.7 yards per carry on the ground on the season. In the Point/Wartburg game, they gained 212 yards and averaged 5.4 yards per rush. (They gained 2.38 times more yards against Wartburg than they averaged. On top of that they doubled their average yard per rush against Wartburg. )

UWW averages 227.2 yards per game and 5.2 yards per rush. If they, too, gain 2.38 times more yards against Wartburg than they average, they will gain 541 yards on the ground. If they, too, double their average yards per carry, as Point did, they will gain 10.4 yards per rush.

I believe the old saying goes, "Figures lie and liars figure." 
Point also averaged 225 yards a game throwing the ball and only got 140 againdt Wartburg, even though they trailed the entire game. Maybe had more to do with what the Knights took away from them.

Noone is in dispute about which team has the best running game or run defense.  If you win as many games as WW has in December the past few years it goes without saying, they run theball well.

Wartburg is about as much bend but don't break as you will find. One of the worst D's statistically in total yards, but the best in points allowed conference-wise.

[BoBo]

There goes my shutout prediction.   

[janesvilleflash]

I guess it's only me, but I can't believe the play calling by WW. I wouldn't have thrown a pass in the first half. Anderson would break enough plays to win this game. You also have another Anderson on the bench who could do the same. From my point of view, WW is trying to give the game away.

[BoBo]

I guess that's no joke, uh, Flash?

[janesvilleflash]

I'm not joking. I'd also have Langer in at qb and let him have a bunch of carries.

[BoBo]

Poor start to the 2nd half.

[BoBo]

good check off at the right time. 

[BoBo]

Whitewater not running the ball = trouble!

[BoBo]

great bounce!

[BoBo]

Wartburg has really taken advantage of the wind in the 3rd.

Warhawks on their heels.
