Anybody else think that weather could be a factor in the final score today?

Should be 35 with minimal wind and cloudy. The field should be perfectly clear. Actually nicer than the day of the TCNJ game. Should not be a factor or an excuse.

I take it that Bethel doesn't have a passing game? Which is what it's going to take for anyone to even hope to upset Mt. Union.

Also, I know it's a late pass, but the games today will be video streamed via d3 right?

ya, honestly why say something like that? The last thing you need to do is give those doods more incentive to beat you 60-0. I think Fisher went into there with that mentality, but without the ability to do so... didn't work out so well.

Bethel is right for having that kind of attitude, but keep it internal doods - just go play hard.

Is it about game time?

[criswyly]

What time is it in Ohio?  I'm in quite a different time zone.

Game starts in less than an hour.

Has there been any mention about who is the starting QB for Bethel.

Wetzell will start this game.

The "punch 'em in the mouth" thing has been taken completely out of context.  What Coach Johnson said in a radio interview was that nobody else has been able to do that to Mount.  What he didn't say was, "Yeah, we're going to go down there and punch 'em in the mouth for 60 minutes." Teams have gotten behind early and had to abandon the run or just weren't able to in the first place. 

Some have suggested indirectly that Bethel should try to change their offensive approach in this game if they want to keep it close.  Doing that before the first whistle blows would be abandoning the strengths of this team and what has gotten them this far.  If Mount is able to stop the strong suit of BU, then they will likely win big and deserve to do so.  The lack of a passing game for Bethel this season is more a function of Bethel's success running the ball than a lack of ability to throw it.  If the game situation dictates that they throw the ball more often then I'm sure we'll see that, but things are already going wrong if that happens.

Thanks for your common sense response...Are we looking at 11:20 AM Ohio time about now/?

[criswyly]

I have to admit that this years addition of the The Mount is very imposing...but then I am not so sure their competition has been that good either...So we'll just see how things go.  I think Bethel will definetly be the best team Mount has faced this year and might surprise us all.
