If anything happens to Scott my guess is Namdar is taking snaps before Peyakov FWIW.

I'm sincerely hoping this scenario doesn't come into play (and if it does, all bets are off for how the game goes) but I'm curious - do you think the Mount staff has bothered with Namdar still taking snaps at QB in practice this year?  During the regular season it would seem like a waste - why give the precious practice snaps to an outgoing senior WR when you can give them to an underclassman who will take the reins next year - but in the playoffs, once the gears shift to national-championship-winning, I could see it, if the staff thought Namdar was the best guy & he was still happy to play some QB.

I think Namdar could actually play again next year if I'm remembering correctly.  He missed the entire 2013 season so I think he'd still have a year of eligibility left.

According to Mount's site Roman appeared in 2 games in 2011 at QB, played all of 2012 at QB, missed 2013, played last year at WR and this year. My math ain't great but that's, let's see add Q, carry the 4 and divide by 107 - 4 years. Not sure of the NCAA rules but I think he is done.

Oops.  I forgot about 2011.  My bad.

I would be shocked if Namdar hasn't taken some snaps throughout the year.

I would be surpirsed to see Namdar at QB if Scott goes down. Main reason is that losing Scott would hurt Mount at QB and losing Namdar would hurt Mount at WR by taking away deep threat. Why hurt yourself at 2 positions? I could see Peyakov in because he seems to be the go to. However, I did hear that Kevin Burke recently friended Rocky Pentello.....just saying-

I would be absolutely shocked if Peyakov went in.  I'd say Namdar is the best bet and I'd say Lowry would be a better bet than Peyakov honestly.  Your point is valid, but remember, CS3 was moved to QB in an emergency and that's the same scenario.  It'd be different if Peyakov or Lowry had taken meaningful snaps, but neither ever has.

But did this work?

Depends.  Which time?  It definitely worked against Wesley in the semis one year.

Namdar is done after this year. The question is , is that I think Logan Nemeth has a year left. I couldn't find any stats from his freshman year. So that would count as a red shirt.

I'd like to get a ruling on this one.  I think you have to have a medical hardship waiver to have that extra season.  If he was in school and on the team, whether he played varsity games or not, I think he's used up a year.

I'm 99% sure that this is correct.

No, it is reversed, Roman Namdar have one more year of eligibility if he chooses to exercise it. Logan Nemeth does not.

[gizzmo13]

i think he graduated tho like the other day. Next year would be his 6th year at school.

How can Namdar have another year if he played in '11, '12, '14, and '15? 

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

Namdar came to Mount the same year as Burke.

Burke finished his 4 years of eligibility in 4 years.

Namdar will finish his 4 years of eligibility this year 4.5 years.

Rocky Pentello is his godfather.

How was Rocky Pentello the starting QB at Capital for a decade?  Some mysteries will never be solved.

[HScoach]

I posted this days ago on the MIAC page but nobody there actually wanted to talk football.  They're all too busy arguing over mindless drivel so I thought I'd copy it here.   .

The previous mention of a true blocking FB is an interesting component of this match up as Mount doesn't see any old school traditional offenses in the OAC outside of Baldwin Wallace and they're very average.  Only real power team they've played is UWW.  Almost all of their games are against spread or passing heavy teams, hence the 4-2-5 defensive alignment as their base.  The power running game with a TE or two has given Mount trouble historically.    That's not what they typically see nor is the scheme and personnel geared towards it.  Not saying Mount is incapable of defending power, just that it's outside the norm.

Mount did a great job against UWW but after seeing them live, I wasn't impressed by their skill people.  Which made it a lot easier to attack the line of scrimmage.  Real curious to see the offensive skill of UST.   I know their O-line is huge and talent and the TB is a upper level transfer stud, but what about the QB and WR's?  Should be a great game.

If Mount plays with the same energy and precision as last week:   Mount 31 / UST 21

If they're a little sloppy like they've been the last 2 Staggs against UWW, then I'll be glad I watched it at home and didn't have a pissed off 7 hour drive to look forward to.

It's all part of his legend. He may have been the best D3 QB that I ever saw play.

[skunks_sidekick]

If I had to point to one telling stat that will determine this Stagg...

Mount 1 turnover or less = WIN
Mount 2+ turnovers = UGH

And someone who posted that Mount's kicker is good from "40 yards in" must have NOT been watching the kicker I saw the last three weeks.  Solid on xpt, but FG's are iffy beyond 25-30.  I haven't looked it up, but what are his stats for the year?

[HURFMUC]

Skunk  Mount hasn't had to kick many field goals

[skunks_sidekick]

HURF!  Good point...that is true I am sure. 

Are you heading down?  Skunk, Jr., and I will be here at the homestead watching on TV.

SF - are you out there or totally consumed with work/holidays?  Give me a shout if you get a chance.

Wesleydad - text you tomorrow during the game.

[raiderpa]

Antel is 11 of 16 on FG'S with a long of 44 yds
I said he may be 60/40 from 40 yes.
That would be the longest and he has hit a couple of that range.
I would not rate my confidence high over 30-35, but he has been ok.

The best kicker I have seen in years, along with punting is Bacher from WWW.  What a leg...He did however, miss a 40 yarder on his second attempt against Mount, but got another try at it from 35 after a penalty.  His punting was major league. I asked people from WWW about his pro interest, and they reported he is a highly rated major league pitching prospect...man, I used to hate guys like that! lol
