Coe's Frank Weymiller

"I liked it there, liked the school and everything," Weymiller said. "But I guess I just wanted the opportunity to play football four years instead of possibly one."

Proof that highly intelligent and very mature people go to Coe.

Great job Kohawks!

Big game next week.

It is your hard work and focus that has put you in position for next weeks game to be a big game and not just a chance at an upset.  Good luck to you guys all week at practice and see if you can make a run at the IIAC championship.

Rugby game got moved to Sunday, so I may make it to Pella.

Ex-Coe LB Zach Pfantz (sp?) co-defensive coordinator at Central now. Interesting side story to this weeks game.

Sounds like a good game in Dubuque yesterday, was checking scores on d3football.com through my iPhone while tailgating in Iowa City. Would be awesome if we could get an app for blackberries/iPhones from d3football!!  Hint Hint Pat...

Sounds like Dubuque has some big guns on offense but just cant finish off drives, then a great job by the Rhinos to grind the ball up the field to run out the clock and put the final td on the board and seal the victory. I think DBQ will definitely win some games this year, perhaps over a Wartburg team?

I would say UD may still have something to say about who wins the IIAC.  They have the players to do it.

Cornell played a good game yesterday. I think they got tired in the second half.

I think coming up empty inside the 10 so many times takes its toll mentally...

Our defense was cooking up a pretty good story for the first 3 quarters...keeping it close so our offense could take advantage...we just didn't or couldn't depending on your point of view.

The Kaniggets did a real good job at the line of scrimmage, very active at the point of attack.

There's no doubt the Kaniggets are a good team...and they've got plenty of room to improve too...they'll be far tougher as the season progresses.  I'm always impressed with how hard they play on every play.  That's something I hope impresses our young kids

Missed the game Saturday. I had to go and buy a cat?? :o ::)

Seems like it was another great game between Central and UD.
This Saturday sounds like it will prove to be another great game to watch! ;D

But when some alumni with money found out he was coming from a D3 school and had a losing overall record they raised a stink and kept him from getting hired. 

Why should that concern Upper Iowa? That's their history in a nutshell. ;)

PH -  Storm seems to be on a real roller coaster, Simpson was up 7 - 0 then a couple bad plays and horrible field position thanks to penalities and it's 17- 7 Loras,  then a couple ill advised throws that are picked one for a touchdown and the other to Simpson 7 yd line and that was pretty much game, set and match.  A lot of youth seeing playing time and they are going to have to grow up FAST.   Loras score would indicate a mismatch and it really wasn't but it got ugly pretty quick.

They seem to play well at home and for 2 games terrible on the road :-\

Couple thoughts on this weekend's games...

- Caught the second half of the UD-Central game.  Had been to UD's new facility, but Saturday was the first time I'd seen a game there, and the place was pretty impressive.  Not just a big step up from the old Chalmers Field, but more like a giant leap forward.  Was good to see a few of the Central backers that were so good to me when I was down in Pella a couple years back.

-  UD is going to give a lot of teams fits this year.  Their offense is incredibly potent.  Zwiefel, Spaulding, Hanson, & Co. can score from just about anywhere on the field (except for inside the one yard line...more on that later).  Their problem is that they can't seem to get too many big stops on the defensive end.  David Zachary dictated what the Spartans could do defensively a lot more than the other way around.  But Dubuque will win a few games this year, and could find themselves as high as 3rd in the conference standings (especially if Simpson keeps laying eggs on the road), but they won't be able to get over the hump until they shore up that defense.  That was a big part of their undoing on Saturday.

-  As was their inability to punch it in.  Lots of plays inside the 5 with no points to show for it in the 4th quarter.  Both trips came when UD was down by six, so if you kick field goals on those 4th downs, all of a sudden we're looking at a tie ball game with about seven minutes to play.  Don't know what UD has for a kicker, but he didn't get a chance to prove himself there.

-  Give Central a lot of credit for making the plays in the 4th quarter of that game to pull it out.  That was vintage Jeff McMartin football.  The Central run game looked very good, and I think most of the credit for that has to go to their o-line.  They looked a lot better than when I saw Central at the same point in the season a year ago.

-  Good to hear that Wartburg pulled out a close one too.  That's probably a better win for the Knights at this point in the year than a 35 point blowout would have been.

-  Count me as someone who never would have guessed Coe would be 3-0 at this point.
