SaintsFAN:  Congrats on your boys moving on.  Good luck next week.

Congratulations Saints...well played yesterday. That was a hard fought college football game. Both teams left it all on the field. Good luck next week against Johns Hopkins.

[SaintsFAN]

D3dpu,

Thanks.  It was a great game.  There were two differences in this game, imo:

1. TMC speed is hard to simulate in practice.  I believe the quick 14-0 lead happened while Depauw tried to adjust to it.  Owens simply outran Depauw on the opening score.  Then D forced Dick off the field in 3 plays, which was followed by Colliers score. 

2. This one is obvious but the turnovers in 2nd and 4th quarters were the difference.  If such an award existed, Autenreib would be National defensive player of the week. 

Was impressed with Spud Dick.. He was as good as a QB I have seen at this level.  I was kinda surprised to see how many times Depauw ran the ball with having Dick at QB and seeing TMC totally shutdown the run.  Luckily, Thomas More doesn't play another passing team like that again..


*i was surprised at the lower number of people at this game from both the Depauw and Thomas More perspective.. More were at Senior Day 15 days ago against Geneva. 

Congrats on a great season and 1st playoff appearance.  The fans I did talk to were very nice people.

SaintsFAN, just wanted to stop over and say thanks again for defending my post.  I was surprized that the terms mediocre and not that good offended people.  good luck this week, I hear that Johns Hopkins is pretty good on defense.  Wesley played Muhlenberg 2 straight years and the conference is known for tough D.  Not looking ahead, but if wesley plays Thomas More in 2 weeks, it will be nice to see a new team in Dover.

SaintsFan..

Yes, I was impressed with your overall team speed...quickest team we faced this year. And I think TMC played with a high motor on both sides of the ball...you've got some good football players who play hard and your offense is tough to defend. Good luck to you guys next week..hope you take it to Johns Hopkins.

Spud Dick was the real deal and certainly battled to the end.  WR Koors was everybit as impressive given the coverage he drew throughout the whole game.  Very enjoyable game all the way around.  Will not expect the same fireworks this week with JHU D.

Not even if they make the Semis?

Not even if they make Semis.... because the DePauw passing game (ALL 3 and 5 step drops --- quick passing game) is different from the MUC passing game. 

I was very impressed by the DePauw passing game.  They didn't have any players other than their top receiver who jumped out at you athletically, but the QB was precise and the WR's ran good routes.

No sweat homie... I think their longest completion was for 20 yards on Saturday.  It was weird... I haven't seen an offense like that in a long time (in that they wanted to stay with the quick game).

You heading up to Alliance at all this fall?

predictions on the game this weekend Gentlemen?

I think it will be a close one to be honest with you.

too close to call?


JHU 17
TMC 21

I think TMC scores 1 or 2 TD's early while JHU gets used to the new pursuit angles they need to take and then plays great defense the rest of the way.   They'll need this formula. 

[Bulldog10]

Sounds like a very reasonable prediction, I hope the game is played that well.

Is there any way to view Thomas More College Games live online?  Or is there any way to listen to live audio feeds?

I'm working on representing D3football.com there but won't know for sure until tomorrow or Thursday about that.  The only thing TMC has is live stats and its carried locally on Insight Channel 6, but I don't think that helps you. 

[Bulldog10]

Yeah thats doesnt help....WHAT A BUMMER! Thats really too bad for all of the fans around the country.
