Mount vs. Capital, not much change in approach. Constant flair passes, no offensive imagination, same old approach. Sure, the Raiders had 7 TD's against a 0-5 team, but had great field position for most of the drives. The defense was good, but not
outstanding. This is looking more like a 12-1 team, but I hope I am wrong and the Raiders get to the Stagg.

Dartt is a good offensive coordinator, I wonder if this is a "don't put anything on tape" situation. Run a vanilla offense as long as it works

I can't imagine they view Cap as someone they need to open up the playbook against.  That's one of those take care of business, nobody get hurt and let's go home type of games.  I was mildly surprised to see it was "only" 49-14, but then I saw it was 35-0 at half and it made a little more sense.  I'm sure Ely isn't happy about giving up 14 points even in a blowout though.

Unrelated, but also saw that Agnew ran for 252 yds and 4 scores for Etta.  Not a bad afternoon.

The problem is Coach Dartt will not open the playbook, He did not last year in the Playoffs. All Mount's opponents know they only run the 4 receiver spread with one RB. The tapes really do not mean much. The defense mix things up more. If they show two backs it is only to throw the ball. They do not have the OL or big back to control the LOS. If they get to play NC, UMHB or UWW, it will be the same approach.

When you no longer have a big OL or big backs, the team is more limited. Creativity is the only real counter measure. True,
the Raiders have good receivers and maybe one of the best in the country and a QB with a good arm. They have always
had those skills but will it be enough to get to the Stagg?

I agree with you there are issues staring Mount in the face right now.  I have to trust that LK wouldn't let his son-in-law drag down LK's program.  The head coach/coordinator became an issue with VK as well, I just dont see how an inexperienced HC can handle running the offense but still being in charge of the entire program at this level

With the greatest respect for LK, I have not seen that Coach Dartt is HC material. He was given a great opportunity, but
he does not bring that confidence to the role. I simply do not see either role of HC or OC meeting the standards set
in the past. Mount has some great assistants, but the need for a top notch OC is obvious.

I'm right there with you.  Either a new HC or OC is needed

I just read the devastating news that former Capital, Mount Union SID and current Alliance HS AD, Lenny Reich, has passed away. Lenny was a great man and I had the opportunity to work with him for some time. He had a great sense of humor, but also helped you learn the right way to do things. Lenny, you will certainly be missed!! Keeping your family in my prayers.

RIP my friend.  One of the most genuine people you would ever meet. 

[mtfan]

Haven't been on the board for a while, but needed to check in as well when I heard of Lenny Reich passing this morning. Truly a wonderful guy in every respect and glad he was able to get his induction into the CoSid Hall of Fame this past summer before is health got too much worse. Bless is family and friends through this tough time, and RIP Lenny, love you brother, you will be dearly missed. He was a Tribe/Guardian season ticket holder and hope he can smile down tonight and hope they beat the Yanks.

[rscl70]

I always enjoyed working, or just chatting with Lenny.  One of the very best, beyond doubt.  Rest In Peace, Lenny, and Rise In Glory.

[Raider 68]

Lenny was truly a great guy and an ultimate professional. He will be sorely missed by many.
Thoughts and prayers to his family.

[theaprof]

This is terrible news.

[Dr. Acula]

Awful news indeed.  Lenny was not only a great person he was a fantastic mentor to young sports info professionals for many years and a fierce advocate of D3 athletics.  I was lucky enough to have beers w Lenny a few times and his passion and engaging personality are what I will remember.  Truly felt like a guy that didn't know what a stranger was.  RIP Lenny.  Prayers for his wife and daughter.

[raiderpa]

So stunned to hear of the passing of Lenny Reich.  He will never be forgotten at Mount Union. Loved and admired by countless Purple Raiders, myself being one.  Blessings to his wonderful wife and lovely daughter.  He will always be a presence in the Raider pressbox.
