FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[Cleveland Cartel]

Also posted on the PAC conference board is that Carslisle has 51 tackles through 3 games!!!  That is an impressive stat but will not gurantee success all the time.  TMC vs WJ matchup next weekend will be interesting because like you said Spliskin they can macthup in the secondary with them, but WJ's O-line is tough and will be able to give Edwards the protection needed and also the Wideouts their time to run their routes to get open for him.  The size that TMC has is impressive, but exactly like you and everyone else has said was the domination upfront and they do not have that right now.  Thiel's Oline is very experienced and technically sound group and that was the difference maker. 

WJ's line is just as talented but not as sound as Thiels upfront and TMC does have a better chance at winning the battle on the lines.  I think it will be another close and hard fought game next week.  WJ will eventually tack on a few more touchdowns late in the 4th and win to keep their improving playoff hopes alive!

Prediction Time!!!

Lets see if I can nail another score this week as I correctly predicted the final of the Thiel Thomas More game last week.

Saturday, November 5

Grove City at Westminster, 1:00

Westminster gets the nod at home after playing Frostburg St tough last week. I think that this game will be very low scoreing and will be decided by a field goal either way but I am going to give it to the Titans since they are playing on thier home turf.

Westmini 17 GCC 14

Buffalo State at Thiel, 1:00

The PAC champs continue to roll this week when they seek out revenge against a Buff State team that possibly prevented the Tomcats from reaching the national playoffs. Behind the running of Minton and passing combination of Satterfield and his wideouts I can't see Buff State competeing with the Tomcats. Emotion will also run high as this could be the last home game for the Sr's unless they win out and host a playoff game. The defense will hold Buff St under 250 yards and pitch another shutout.

Thiel 35 Buff St 0

Carnegie Mellon at Bethany, 1:00

Bethany looks to get back on thier feet after dropping every game this season since the opener. I think the Tartens will cause troubles for this defense with their Wing T offense and hand the Bison another loss in the 2005 season. I think the Bison will fight, but it won't be enough.

Carnegie Mellon 28 Bethany 14

Waynesburg at Frostburg St., 1:30

Frostburg St battles another PAC foe this week when the Yellow Jackets travel to Maryland. I think the Jackets rebound after losing to the Presidents behind the rushing attack of Abels and thier defense. I look for the Jackets to sting Frostburg St.

Waynesburg 28 Frostburg St 10

W&J at Thomas More, 1:30

What looks to be the game of the week in the PAC newcomer TMC battles another upper tier PAC foe. I think although the Saints will be up for the game, the Presidents will take advantage of thier ability to run and throw the ball against a good Saints D. All and all I see this game being very competitive but I give the win to the Presidents as Thomas More will have trouble putting the ball in the endzone.

W&J 31 Thomas More 7


Good Luck PAC

Again Congrats go out to the Thiel Tomcats for winning the 2005 PAC Championship!


Prediction for players of the week:

Offense: B. Chambers 12 catches 182 yards and 3 TD's

Defense: A. Tenney 15 tackles 1 FF 1 Fumble recovery 1 INT

[the_burghboy]

Just a quick 'congrats' to the Thiel folks.  Hopefully there will be a playoff rematch!

[PittTBCW]

What are the thoughts of the Daily Dose not putting W&J in the playoffs with only one loss to an undefeated Thiel team???



I think things will pan out upsets will happen and the PAC will see two teams in the playoffs aslong as both Thiel and W&J take care of buisness in the remaining weeks.

Prediction Day!! Here we go!!!

Grove City vs Westmin:

Will be a tough fought game and a couple of teams trying to finish out this season on the right note and see what they have coming back for next year.  Chumura will take care of business upfront with the rest of the Westmin DLine and shut down the Wolverines W-T attack.  Afterwards the Dline will be shoving down wingers at the Lube celebrating there W!  Buggey will have a killer day against the susceptible Grove City D, and Ross Trimmer will be the lone man to tackle Buggy on his breakaway runs and catches.  Trimmer will have a game high with 14 tackles with Chumura coming in with 13 and a sack on the day.  Buggeys two touchdown running and one on special teams will lead the way as the Titans win on their home turf.

Prediction:
GCC 21  Westminnie 34

BUFF ST. Vs Thiel

This will be a heated game as alot is already on the line from last years game and Buff St is trying to play spoiler in the PAC for the third year in a row.  They match up well against the Tomcats and have size and quality skill guys.  This will be a close matchup  but with the veteran leadership and calmness in the Oline, Satterfield, Chambers, Mr. Clutch, and the D rings in with their best performance of the year.  Minton will have to run and and the constant tempo of the tomcats will eventually lead them to the victory this week.

Buff St.  17  Thiel 27


Mellon vs Bisons

Bisons season has been in a tailspin ever since the first week and it will not get any better any time soon.  With a few higlights in their passing game the Bisons will end up on Losing side of another battle.  Not enough balance in the offense and not enough skill on the defense is their demise and they lose to a Mellon team who is playing below their potential so far this year, but is rising to the occasion every week.  Joyner will have 100 yards recieving and a score.  This kid is just as talented as some of the other recievers in this league, but unfortenatly the Bisons are not getting W's.

Mellon 35 Bisons 14

Waynesburg vs Frostburg

Frostburg continues to roll and its domination of the PAC with another victory at home this week.  Abels will run for over 100 but the lack of the threat in the passing game will allow frostburg to put 8 and 9 in the box to help shut down the Waynesburgs run game.  Hawkins and Hunter each catch 6 passes but no TD's and that is why Waynesburg will lose this weekend!

Frostburg 21  Waynesburg 10

WJ vs TMORE

WJ needs this game to continue to keep their playoff hopes alive and they will!  Tmore will need another complete game out of their D to keep themselves in the game, but another bleak performance offensively and it will not get the job done.  I will say this, WJ's run game will get the job done this game Mendel and Zitsleberger will run for a total of 200 yards.  Edwards will throw a TD pass also and Carslisle will rack up another 18 tackle day.  Boy eats his wheaties before every game! 

WJ 35  Tmore 17

CC,

Lets see if you can correctly predict a score right this week as the bull did last week!!!

You heading to Greenville this weekend for Sr Day???

I am especially to see the hard hitting saftey #1

[Cleveland Cartel]

Definetly coming to Greenville for the game brother.  You staying around town or going home that night??

[Cleveland Cartel]

About seeing number 1 hit....All I say is he cant bring the wood like number 37 did when he was out there!!!

[Cleveland Cartel]

Also i do not know if everyone has seen the article about the ONU coach who passed away yesterday suddenly at the age of 34.  Sympathy goes out to the Ron Bendekovic family and the ONU staff.  He played at Allegheny under Leip and a teamate of some of the coaches at Thiel as he was on the National Championship team.  Here is the Link:http://www.d3football.com/notables.php

[Cleveland Cartel]

Pat it looks like your prediction of Central is a long shot unless they win their conference outright!  Big game this weekend also for them!

[Pat Coleman]

Sure. The projection is based solely on the games that have been played. If they play more games, we will project again.

[critic]

did carlisle deserve to be pac player of the week for having 18 tackles last week.... A little bit late but what does everybody think???

[Cleveland Cartel]

Carlisle deserves to be nominated as the PAC defensive player of the week every Sunday.  If he does not get any all american recognition that would be a kick in the face to the PAC by the voters.
