Johnnies taking a cue from the Warhawks  today and pounding the rock.

Mount Union loses to John Carroll today 31-28....

BDB; If you're reading in here, go Devils!

I predict a 42-20 Pioneer win, and hope I am wrong.

If Yaeggi is healthy and able to play today, I'm going to say La Crosse wins and eliminates Platteville from the Pool C discussion...

Well, Yaeggi did his part, however looks like the La Crosse defense thought it was a 7:00 start tonight, as Platteville moves the ball with ease for a 63-45 victory...

RF 34-16 over Point. Why did so few pick RF in the Pickems?

In the dumbest play call of the year, Point is 4th and 14 on their own 6 in the second quarter, leading 10-3. They FAKE A  PUNT! The punter gets about half the necessary yardage. RF has first down on the 13. They score, take a 14-10 lead and the momentum  into the half and win going away. Could not believe that call! Point has to be a better team than they showed they were today.

WARHAWKS finish 10-0 with a 34-16 W over Stout.  Not such a hot first half with a couple of turnovers the Blue Devils turned into 10 points and a 16-10 halftime lead.  Strong second half showing however closed things out.  More injuries of unknown severity though at least three players had the helmets confiscated by the trainers.

Congratulations UWW on a 10-0 season. Pretty or not, 10-0 vs this schedule is an outstanding accomplishment.

Does John Caroll's win and conference championship end Platteville's chance of a playoff bid?

[badgerwarhawk]

It certainly didn't help them.

They had some help today, too, with Case Western Reserve and Wabash losing.  And Alfred winning. 

[wally_wabash]

We had UWP as the first team out tonight.  SaintsFAN correctly points out that UWP probably got more help today than not, but the scarcity of bids and where UWP is ranked in the West was always going to make it tough for them. 

I think they have a shot though.  If we get into a SJF or UWP situation, it isn't unreasonable to vote for UWP. 

[ScreamingEagles]

Haven't been able to keep up on the board over the past couple of weeks due to work, looks like there's a ton that I've missed.  Congrats to UWW on another WIAC championship!

As far as the Eagles are concerned, they played hard yesterday against Platteville but didn't have the horses on D to stop their high powered offense.  We once again showed that we can score on any defense and put up points (with Yaeggi in at QB at least), but haven't got the defensive side of the rebuild fixed quite yet.  I've said it for a long time, but it will take a couple recruiting cycles to get bigger O and D linemen, as well as build the depth that we'll need to be a serious contender.

UW-L football drops season finale

http://lacrossetribune.com/sports/local/uw-l-football-drops-season-finale/article_b552fd66-a378-5584-9654-60e310b07b64.html

UW-L played with a three-man defensive front to give extra secondary/linebacker help against Platteville's receivers, but the Pioneers spread the field so wide that it left the Eagles vulnerable up the middle. Platteville's experienced (three seniors and a junior start) and big (average 6-foot-3, 287 pounds) offensive line took over, creating big lanes for Thompson.

Platteville (8-2, 5-2) broke a 35-year-old program record with 443 yards rushing on 53 attempts.

UW-L's defensive struggles masked a highly-efficient day by the Eagles offense.

Junior quarterback Tarek Yaeggi set a UW-L record with 535 passing yards on 39 completions with four touchdowns. Yaeggi also set single-season records for total yards of offense (2,901), passing yards (2,729) and completions (218). Two of Yaeggi's scores went to junior receiver Nick Holcomb, and the other two went to senior Joel Oxton, who set a program single-game record with 15 catches on Saturday.

Colten Bartholomew: Another year with Yaeggi means UW-L football could be contender

http://lacrossetribune.com/sports/local/colten-bartholomew-another-year-with-yaeggi-means-uw-l-football/article_edad618e-1b29-5cf4-b0ac-4c607d6bb667.html

Yaeggi set numerous program records for the Eagles this season, but here's the short list: Most passing yards (535), completions (39) and attempts (66) in a single game, all of which were set Saturday; Most passing yards (2,729), completions (218) and total yards of offense (2,901) in a single season.

All of those accomplishments become even more impressive when considering the fact Yaeggi missed the UW-Eau Claire game in Week 6 with a shoulder injury that also limited him against UW-Stevens Point in Week 7.

That desertcat1 is a troublemaker.

Please put UMU in the West!
