I'm pleased I spent $9.95 for the video feed only to be forced to listen to the radio feed because the video freezes every 30 seconds.

Davis goes 25 yds on 4th and 1 for a much needed score before half. 13-7 at half. Mount gets the kick.

Also, JCU looks very good on D. Their line is playing well.

Will that missed XP come up large?

Whoa.

Well. How about that.

Congrats to John Carroll, and also to Mount Union on an insane conference win streak. "Down" years for the OAC or not, it is hard to beat everyone in your league for 10 seasons running without one slip-up.

Obviously the outcome sucks, but what a game. JCU played great. Frankly, they played nearly perfectly. Mount? Not so much.

Congrats to JCU! And congrats to Mount on a conference title record that'll never be broken. Hopefully Mount gets in and makes a run. If not, JCU will represent the OAC well!

Takes some real composure to stay in the game mentally after a 13-0 lead turns into a 21-13 deficit. I've been doing the two-laptop-stream thing with this game on one and my alma mater on the other, but what a hell of a game. Great stuff.

I think Mount will get in, but it's crazy to think this is the first time since the current playoff format that Mount is not the automatic bid from the conference.

Go Streaks!

JCU!

They have to let UMU in. Put 'em in the West to shut us up.

jaypeter · November 12, 2016, 04:28:22 PM

Haven't been around, or really even paying attention this year, until today. All I can say
Is congratulations to JCU! The Streaks stopped a few streaks for Mt Union today and well earned praise is yours! It'll be hard for me to not see Mt Union as the conference champs, but they didn't earn it. You did. Way to go!

Friggin' incredible! Congrads to JCU for pulling off what Wesley never could. Well done folks, well done.

Dr. Acula · November 12, 2016, 04:39:37 PM

In your defense Ski this is not the same caliber team as those Wesley lost to in the past. I cringe thinking what Callahan would have done to the 2016 defense.

mr_mom · November 12, 2016, 04:47:39 PM

Remarkable ... someone already updated Mount Union's Wikipedia page to mention this game stopping their conference championship streak!

I can't wait to see the rebroadcast ... tomorrow at 3:30pm on STO.

Jumping in here early. I haven't watched much of Mount this year, but I did watch, and then listen today. Mount was exposed today for what they are. As athletic and gifted as Davis can be, he has an issue with turnovers. It's why Poorman was so far ahead of him at the start of the season.

JCU could have folded after Mount stormed back, but proved they had the moxie to fight back, continue to score, and win the game. I am not sure Mount will get into the playoffs, but if they do, they will be hard pressed to get past the quarters if they continue to play the way they played today. And let's face it, today was the first time they were challenged, and played a team that could exploit Mount's weaknesses repeatedly. So far, this young team is 0-1 against a worthy opponent. FACTS....
