Mount Single Season Passing Record

Name Yards Att. Comp.. Int. Pct.  TD Year
1. Greg Micheli 3,743 320 240 2 .750 36 2008
2. Mike Jorris 3,736 378 253 11 .669 26 2006

If Mount "wins out", Kurt Rocco may be on track to overtake the passing records of some particularly awesome Mount QBs.  After eight games, Kurt has 2,103  yards.  At nearly 263 yards per game with, potentially, seven more games, Rocco could approach 3,943 yards this season.  Not bad for a kid with happy feet that many thought coulda, shoulda, woulda been replaced by now.  If he moves into the elite of MUC passers, it will be a fitting reward for the young man's dedication and commitment to, and shining example of, "the Kehres way".

I know, don't count your Mucaws before they're hatched.  One game at a time.  That's what Larry Kehres and Company do.

Speaking of MUC single season passing records, consider single season receiving records.  I just came to realize that Cecil Shorts III holds the single season receiving record.  And, that if Mount wins out and barring injury to Cecil, he will obliterate his own single season record and threaten the career record.

Frosting on the cake for Kurt and Cecil would be to set the longest touchdown pass at 99 yards - today, against our friendly Otters.  I think that would be a kick in the pants for LK and Company.

neal's high school team, just lost in the first round of the playoffs

Not only lost, but lost at home to a Columbus city team.  And it wasn't Brookhaven.  Yikes.  Not that they weren't still an excellent all around team, but Swigert's injury came back to haunt them as many thought it might.  Head up though...10-1 is a great season for any school.

Does this theory work for Mount Union???

[MUCheats]

For those interested, SportsTime Ohio will be replaying the Otterbein-Mount Union game tonight at 10pm.

[seventiesraider]

I'm thining of a word: Defensiveless comes to mind

Rocco is going to need take posession of the the ball outside the Biener 35 to accumulate many yards today. 6 yard punts??

[JK]

It was a field position game in the first qtr and ONU won it.

7-0 ONU on the first play of the 2nd QTR.

[JK]

Cap goes 65 yards in 8 plays to even the score at 7

[JK]

Northern answers right back.  14-7 ONU 6:27 left in the second

[seventiesraider]

35-0 Mount with 9:51 left in the second. Otterbein and the 40.5 points is starting to look Pretty stupid right now

[reality check]

Northern answers right back.  14-7 ONU 6:27 left in the second

As a Cardinal fan, I bet you're as happy as I am with ONU being up 21-7 over Capital right now.  Enjoying the videocast right now.  Getting a good connection.

[JK]

ONU puts another on the board right before halftime 21-7 ONU.

Plus they get the ball back to start the second half...

Not looking good for Cap right now.

Can't get the video or audio here in the Armory at drill,  only live stats

[JK]

quick first half in Bexley.  Mostly forgettable for Cap...

[reality check]

Musky just tied up JCU 21-21 with under a minute left in the first half.
