Congrats Titans (the UWO kind, that is). Should be a good game next week. Seems like we're down to the top teams in Dlll. That's the way it should be.
Good luck to both teams on Saturday. (A little more to UMU - they'll need it).

Congratulations to Emma, Titan78, and other UW-O fans on your team's victory today. Is it just me or does the UW-O/Mount semi-final promise to be a REALLY high scoring game, weather permitting?

Anybody else disappointed that the "East Region Champ" doesn't have to play vs UWO or Mount? Not to knock UMHB, because they have an all-time defense, but I don't think they'll be able to put up 50 on 'em like UWO or UMU would.

Doesn't have to be 50, it has to be 1.

I look forward to the HansenRatings prognostication for next week's game at UMHB.

Doesn't have to be 50, it has to be 1.

It has to be at least 2, 1 is literally the only impossible score in football

Hard to say this, really. So many factors.

10-9?

The original quote was "put up 50" implying score 50 points,  not win by 50

Bleed, on the surface it makes sense the UWO-Mt game would be high scoring. I wonder though how much does Mt rely on the deep ball for their offense to roll. If they need the long ball, will the UWO defensive backs get beat deep like so many of Mt's opponents? I was shocked how often Frostburg's D got beat deep today.
With a controlled rush and better discipline in coverage, Mt may be forced to sustain drives.
I am anxious to see UWO's power vs Mt's D.

As a UMU fan I can say we're quite reliant on the deep ball, luckily our receiving corps might be the best in all of d3. If UWO can get pressure and force us to put together sustained drives they'll have a big advantage

RE: 1 is impossible.

Well, except in Canada. Gotta love the rouge!

At least in the NFL, you could technically get 1 point on a safety on an extra point. Obviously extremely unlikely and I don't think the same rule applies to NCAA.

I agree and yet disagree. Yes Mount is reliant on the deep ball, and yes the receiving corps top to bottom (Hill, Ruth, Friss, Herrington, Moxie and add in Haynes and Littlejohn when needed) is incredible. I also agree that if UWO can force Mount to sustain drives - convert 3rd and even 4th downs, move chains - the advantage is to UWO. However, I disagree on the rush. If UWO can keep it all in front of them - not really a rush at all - and maintain coverage the  it will be a long day for Mount. Problem is - always that 1 or 2 guys who don't maintain gap discipline, push too far upfield and then the QB takes off. Am I looking forward to this game....not really. If the NCAA was really in Mount's pocket then a late "oops the bracket was messed up - we are sending Brockport to Alliance" would be welcomed.

My apologies... but UW-O outfits look hideous.
