'Berg cant really slow down Mount's offense.  Mount 48 Princes 21.  Greatest game in heildelberg history ends in a dud for the hundreds of fans in Tiffin.  'Berg hasnt played a team as good as Mount's second team all year.

In fairness, other than the Franklin game, the same criticism could be leveled at Mount.  They've played basically the same teams.

ExTartanPlayer,

I agree, but I also believe that Franklin could beat all the other OAC teams. They were that solid
of a team with playoff history, IMHO.

Actually they have played the same OAC teams. In the 6 OAC contests thus far Mount has scored 347 points and given up 24 for an average score of 57.8 to 4. Heidi has scored 346 and given up 111 for an average score of 57.6 to 18.5. So using simple math I predict Mount will win .2 - (-14.5).    In all seriousness though I have said this before: I would not be suprised if Mount wins by 28 or if Heidi pulls an upset. Both of these teams are REALLY good. If Mount can contain Cartel Brooks then Mount will win, if they can not then Heidi will win. I think Mounts offense is too deep and diverse to be stopped. In other words Mount will score points but if they can't keep Brooks from 5 & 6 yards (or more) a carry it may not matter how many points Mount scores.

Pat and gang, love the new look website. Thanks again for all you guys do for D3 Football!

Thanks -- I am so happy we have this done and out here for the rest of the world to see.

Pat,

Great job on the new site! It is very well done.

WOW, Site looks awesome Pat, again another milestone for your great efforts on this site! Do still like the button for getting to the message boards though. 

There are still two buttons and a menu option. Here's a quick read on that and other things:

Dag burn it!  Every time I get something just the way I want it, someone comes along and changes it!  (Says every old man who gets his cable lineup changed <including ME>).

What do Heidelberg's opponents have to do wtih how good Heidelberg is?  I'll never understand why we feel compelled to grade Team A by looking at the rosters and results of Team A's opponents. 

I think Mount Union is going to win the game pretty comfortably, but Alma and Marietta don't have anything to do with it.

Pffft......that's just P-Suit being all P-suitish all over the place.

Too bad the Berg guys got toasted.   This week would have been fun.

I never got toasted - I'm just a newbie - just started following D3 football this year so I really don't post much.  Need to get more intelligent on these things before I post.

That being said - I predict Heidelberg will upset Mount Union this weekend - it will be a 3 point game and the Berg will pull it out!
- OK purple people go ahead and get your sticks and start beating on me 

Seriously- from what I've read and seen - our defense definitely needs to step up this weekend.  Our offense is very explosive and capable of big plays.  Yes Brooks is slippery, but don't overlook our QB and receivers!

Nothing wrong at all with newbies posting.  Just a) don't be an outright jerk and b) make sure you can take a joke.  The other big-shot Heidelberg poster failed on both counts.

bergdad,

It will be a good game, but most often the posters vote correctly on the D3 Football question of who will win by what margin!

[Jacket_Backer]

I think Coach Hallet will finally have his guys ready to play (It takes a couple years for a team to believe that it's even possible to beat Mount).  And if Berg can come out an play some smashmouth football straight down the field with their running game to really start believing I think they'll have a chance to pull out a victory.  I'm sure the players believe they can win going into the game, but it's not until you score that first touchdown that the whole team seems to have that "aha" moment and really start believing.  At least that's what I felt the pulse of the teams that I played on.

I also think if Mount gets a few 3 and outs to start the game paired with 10-17 points of their own Berg will fold.

I'll go with 'Berg - 24 Mount - 20

[amonachino]

last year the berg scored first. mount will play this game just like it did against MHB.  60 minutes of intense football. it is very difficult to be mount. they need to make mistakes and you need to play solid for the whole time.  since 1996 i have seen 5 losses.  each time mount had opportunities to win, yet  yheir mistakes cost them.  last yr. they kept brooks under conrtol until he got hurt.  the berg must get him going from the start to finish.

The D is the difference.  35-21 Mount.

Normally I would agree with this. Afterall - a good team is a good team regardless. But how many times has Mount played a team "like they have never seen before", that had all the hype and completly destroyed them? Widener came in with a lot of hype and left Alliance simply broken. Why? Sure they had scored alot of points and looked really good doing it - but they did against teams that Mounts freshman squad would have beaten. I am not saying a team is only as good as the opponents its played - but if I am 10-0 by beating the local 3rd grade flag football team...then it should be considered. The reason I don't think Heidi's schedule matters as much is because Mount has played the sam schedule (OAC that is). The bottomline is that Heidi has not played a team as good as Mounts 2nd unit all year. My .02 cents.
