Does anyone know where to look at the national Division III statistical leaders?

It seems the Machine (UMHB) wasn't fazed by the LC hype message!

My thoughts exactly. Cool video though!

HUGE game this week for UMHB at home against the Cowboys. In my opinion HSU could be the most UNDERRATED team in the nation. Their only losses are against No.3 Linfield(6-0), and No.22 Willamette(6-0). Those losses weren't blowouts either. Plus HSU always comes to play against the Cru. I have a good bit of confidence in the Crusaders after a good win in Pineville, but you always need to buckle down and get ready when you play these guys. And like i said before, i think they are better than people think this year. Should be a great one! Excited!

Good point CruFrenzy. HSU controls their own destiny. A win over UMHB will give them a great chance for the AQ.

HSU's schedule however is backloaded.  They play the better half of the conference in the last 4 games.

I'll say this for Hardin-Simmons...they have gotten better each week.  They just came out and physically whipped ETBU Saturday.  This is an ETBU team that has played a very tough schedule to date (Wesley, Willamette, TLU and LC are the 4 losses) and its not a huge stretch to say that they could have won all of those.  Do I think HSU is better that UMHB? I can't say because I haven't seen UMHB, but I have seen HSU and they played very well against a very talented football team.

Ill say this no matter the record or where the game was played HSU always played us close(UMHB). It's going to be a fight and think if UMHB comes to play it could be a blow out, but if they over look HSU it could easily be a loss. I know coach Fred is big on playing the next game and not getting complacent.

I wasn't trying to be rude. I just realized you started your post with "Ill say this". I got to pay better attention. Sorry again

Is the UMHB vs. HSU game even a rivalry anymore??

Unfortunately, these days UMHB has few, if any, rivals until the playoffs begin ....

My test for a rivalry has always been who would you least like to lose to and that for me is always going to be HSU unless something happens to them or us.

That worked for us at McMurry for nearly two decades versus Hardened Sinners.  I also had similar feelings for Horrid Pain.

I go to church with an HSU coach and I can promise you they are marking this week, and they believe they can beat the Cru.

Well of course they do! And rightfully so! I mean, of course they aren't going to drop their heads and come in thinking they are beat, but seriously, LiDarral Bailey, Javicz Jones, Darius Wilson, and Geoff Myles know how to get the job done and know what to do. They aren't going to let anyone overlook HSU.
