Okay, so it was 47-24, I anticipated that TM D to get a safety?

I'm going to be as nice as possible with this....  the Waynesburg offense didn't get more than 5 first downs through three quarters.  There was no running game, there was a QB who didn't deliver accurately (when he did, receivers dropped balls) and the running attack wasn't much better.  

I was very surprised the only time Waynesburg threatened to score was when TMC put the ball on the ground inside their own 15.  After seeing the scores coming into this week from Waynesburg (beating Wooster), I was expecting ALOT more.  

I would venture to say Waynesburg got 3/4ths of their yards by leaving the 1st team offense in against Thomas More's 3rd team defense (who played the entire 4th quarter).  sure hope nobody gets hurt offensively for them, because Shepas looks like he's counting on them not needing anyone else.

totally agree with you saintsfan! im not sure what waynesburg's trying to do. the qb has been throwing 40 - 45 times a game. thats not going to work against teams like thomas more and w&j. what happend to waynesburg's 100+ rushing yds a game? Also, going to be as nice as possible as well, scott cree is a good returner but as a defensive back? might need a replacement for him. I am a W&J fan but love d3 football and follow every game that goes on in the PAC and by the looks of it, its coming down as a rematch from last yr wouldnt you guys say?

SaintsFan...After what I witnessed Saturday night, TMC may get 100 on Bethany in two weeks. Defense was terrible and QB threw three picks near the end zone. I thought we had an opportunity to improve this season but I think we are weaker overall than the past three seasons.

Great setting for BC's first ever night game and we had a good crowd but the Bison were out of it by halftime. Grove City QB was the biggest difference as he is very difficult to pressure and is accurate on the run.

ah, come on now.... 100 won't happen... IF it is a blowout, Coach Hilvert won't leave the starters in much for the 2nd half... and thats an IF..  Still have to play the games.  

I do think its going to come down to W&J and Thomas More again this year... and from what I saw on Saturday, Thomas More has a better core of athletes out there making plays than last year's team.  One punt return by Owens was called back... and he had another long return to set up a score.  Like last year, teams need to be ready to defend the Saints from the moment they put their kicking units on the field.  Also, the WR's went up for passes and made some great plays.  Its nice to see WR's with ball skills to go along with the RB's on the roster...  


That said... I think defense is the strength of this team... especially the LB's.  To only give up 7 points to what is turning out to be a good JCU team (they are under the radar) is going to look good here in a few weeks when JCU gets deeper into its OAC Schedule.

The starting defense has given up 14 points in two weeks (7 Quarters of play)

I don't know.... long road trip and alot of distractions on the road.  Maybe a little let down from winning their first PAC game so convincingly.

Half

34-0 after 3 quarters today then the 3rd team got more playing time.  For the 2nd straight week, they gave up 2 2TDs in the 4th Quarter.  I like how Hilvert is getting guys playing time and developing depth.  You never know when we will need one of these guys.  Zerhusen is being groomed for next year.. The score may not indicate what TMC has done to Waynesburg or Westminster the past two weekends but the Saints are developing the young guys and getting wins while staying healthy.  Stellman is very efficient in 2009 and has improved his accuracy.  He also has a better core of WRs to throw to and they are making plays while the other team stacks the box to stop the run.  Thomas More is going to be a threat in November, I think.  Along with W&J.. I hope we get both teams into the dance again.

Bethany comes to KY for Homecoming this Saturday.  Should be a fun one.

Tmore seems like the team beat. Even though WJ is rolling up the numbers on teams I have to give it to Tmore again in 09. What I can't comprehend is, Why isn't Tmore ranked? After winning the conference last year, bring back the core of its team again in 09. Defeating a talented JCU team that has only one blemish on its record. Where's the love? WJ the symbol of consistency is sitting cozy in the top 10.

Where's the love for the Saints?
