Picks for the Week

Central 16-13 in a squeaker.  I really don't know who to cheer for here because I have no idea how this will impact the playoff race.

Loras 17-3 over Simpson.  I just don't see the Simpson offense ever getting going this season. 

UD 27 BV 17.  BV played well last week but I just have this feelin UD's offense will exploit something in the BV defense.  Not sure what though.

Knights 31 Cornell 6.  Knights defense sets up the offense in great field position all day and the "O" takes advantage.  That's the way it should be.

Quick question for whoever can answer.  I missed one week of the pick-em and I was right in the championship race.  Are we going by winning percentage or conference win-loss.  Just wondering.

That depends on what everyone else thinks. I think you should be dq'd from the competition, kicked off the board, and barred from any future competitions. They should also take away your coaching priveleges and place a lifetime ban on you from the NCAA. That's just my opinion though

Ouch... that's brotherly love at its best right there!  Guess we all know that Tim is #1 in WH's book!

[knightlife06]

You're just jealous of my picking skills.   I think I'd be tied with you if I would have gotten my picks in for that week.  Consider yourself lucky.

Show--

Big and physical. Kuemper had plenty of chances and just made too many turnovers. On their buck sweep out of the broken bone set, watch for the wingback getting close to the line of scrimmage. It's a dead give away. If your D-ends play the line of scrimmage you will be fine.

The 2nd half it was wishbone set with power behind #79, and a reverse dive to the weak side. They must have run those 2 plays 90% of the time 2nd half. They also ran an occasion double dive to keep Kuemper honest. A long fade route was the only scoring in the 1st half.

The slant was there for the Kuemper passing game. Again, some dropped passes early hurt the Knights. The TE dump on short yardage situations was WIDE open.

For what it's worth the Kuemper coach thought you guys were way more physical than H-D. It's going to be a fast, hard-hitting game. If you're in the box, expect to be frustrated by H-D's backs jumping the gun early on every offensive play. Was never called, not like that was the difference in the game however.

Think this was enough??

Thanks lorbec.  Pretty good report.  Coach Penner sent us the film and the scouting report as well, so that was appreciated.  Hopefully we come ready to play and hold on to the dang ball this time!

Picks for the week-

BV over UD- I don't know why, gut feeling.  Beavers 27-21

Wartburg over Cornell- I say it every week, but I think the Rams can play with anyone in the conference if they put 4 solid quarters together, if that ever happens.....Knights 31-14

Loras over Simpson- If Simpson could find some O they'd be alright, won't happen tomorrow Duhawks 17-7

Central over Coe- I wish I could watch this game, should be a great game.  The Dutch will find a way to win just as they have every week this year. Dutch 20-17 (OT)

Good luck to everyone

Happy Friday, guys!

Picks this week
Dutch
Knights
Loras
Dubuque
UD/BV game is toughest of the week to call.  I guess I'll take the home team.

Won't be any seperation between Dutchie and myself this week

[Walston Hoover]

Maybe my Knights can make the gains in the offensive stats the last 2 weeks, playing the worst defensive teams in the league.

[Pakk]

Simpson downs Loras by a dozen

Wartburg squeaks by Cornell because of missed extra point

BV all over Dubuque - 20 or more

Central cruises past Coe by 17

[Dsquared]

That is ridiculous, Pakk... you have Central beating Coe by 17 (which won't happen on that field in those conditions) and you have WB winning by 1 over Cornell?  You are a true Ram fan, my friend...

[redmen]

I agree DD...no way the rams stay that close AT Wartburg

Simpson defense plays strong as usual and gets a little help from the offense to beat Loras

Wartburg runs all over Cornell

UD continues to impress and sneaks past BV

Central doesn't falter...big win at Coe

[WartTrainer]

I know what my friend told me is a weak excuse for quitting/transfering but, thats just what he had said.  I dont really care either way for his reason to quit. 

Go Knights and for just this week Go Dutch
