EDIT:

This quote from Aguilar sounds very California:

"I felt really good during the game," said Aguilar, a 5-6, 182-pound senior from California. "Coach said I was the dude."

Plus the QB has shown better accuracy on the deep ball than he has on hitting a 7 yard out on 3rd down. 

Shades of Mark Rypien.  Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at 10 yards but was a Super Bowl MVP.

5-6, 182 against Mount Union?  He better have a SERIOUS case of the quicks and/or be playing behind one of the Wisconsin-Whitewater O-lines of yore.

^ For what it's worth, he did have three running TDs last week against Illinois Wesleyan, who had only given up one rushing TD all season (and beat Wisconsin- Whitewater this year).  He took over for our 1000-yard rusher, Jacob Burke, after we went down last week.  He does have a serious Case of the quicks though.  :)

Is Burke out for remainder? I wanted to see him play.

The coach's quote was something like "he is going to try and give it a go" so unfortunately it sounds like even if he does play, he won't be anywhere near 100%.

Burke looks to be around 25%-50% strength.  Always an emotional decision to start a hurt player or gives to keys to the back up.

And Mount's defense ate Cuda alive in the first half...picking him off 3 times. 

I'm most impressive with Mount's cornerbacks.  They are 1-2 steps faster than any of CWRU's wide receivers.

HALF 21-6 Mount Union

DagarmanSpartan

Their skill position players are MUCH faster and more athletic than ours are.

We'd better start running some trick plays.

E.115

Or run the ball in general.  I don't know why we have essentially abandoned the run.  (I'm guessing with Burke being banged up?)

Do we use Aguilar again like last week?

DagarmanSpartan

Well, Mount Union was a bit too talented for us.

I'll go ahead and root for them to go all the way.

Still, good season for the Spartans.  I hope that we should still have some talent to contend next year.

Every playoff opponent save UMHB, St Thomas, Wisconsin end up abandoning the run against Mount Union.  It was a good showing for Case, Mounts speed takes some getting used to.  Once Cuda did, he was fine. 

Still a glass ceiling for PAC teams in Round 2.  It's very tough to win 2 games in the tourney. 

Very good seasons for both Case and W&J.

Not all of them. W&L didn't abandon the run.  ;D

Congrats to Case Western Reserve on a good game and a great season. I bet there are over 200 teams in Dlll that would love to have gone 11-1. No shame in losing to Mount Union, they're pretty good. Besides, at the risk of sounding arrogant, most teams have lost to UMU over the last several decades.
Have a good off season. Hope to see you back next year.

Out of curiosity, is there a "Final Top 25" ranking done at the end of the playoffs?
