FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[WashJeff68]

Here is where we stand

All Finals
W&J 20 Ithaca 17
Grove City 41 RPI 38
Westminster 35 Morrisville State 24
Union 23 CWRU 21
Brevard 42 CMU 28

Overall, a.good day for the PAC. Sorry Case couldn't hold on, but it sounds like Sexton had to leave the game. Losing a player like him against a team like Union is tough. Hope it's not serious.

Ugh!

Couldn't hold on.

Case loses 24-21.

At least we proved that we belonged in the playoffs, and made a highly ranked team work for a victory.

Best of luck to UC the rest of the way.

On to next year!

An kudos to CWRU for the hard fought game - that's a heck of a team, and Colt Morgan is as good a receiver as I've seen in D3. It's incredibly that he and Saxton are just sophomores.  I can't imagine this will be their only trip to the tourney.

Saxton returned to the game the next offensive series but he was not as effective. The momentum changed and Union woke up.

I just want to compliment CWRU for it's team, it's style of play, it's excellence and it's fervent fans. It was a great game. Union is fortunate to be the team moving on.

Ice Bear says he too has the utmost respect for this Spartan team and was VERY impressed at the way they held Union listless for the first half. The Spartans completely dominated the first half hands down.

Ice Bear also says Saxton is fantastic and so is #17. This team will be back for sure and Ice Bear will always be rooting for them (unless of course they play Union or another LL team). What a great school and group of student athletes.

Further thoughts on the game.

Interesting shakeup in OL - Strayer from C to LT and Wyatt to C.  Wyatt is on roster as DL, but had been the sixth OL man when they went unbalanced.

The second-half injury to Chrissis at CB may have had more impact than Saxton's, although Union receivers were often open in first half but passes were mostly off the mark. They were often on target in second half.

Props to Union for battling back for the win.

Looking ahead to 2020, the offense should be solid with experience at OL and 'skilled' positions and Saxton, of course. D is another story. The DL and secondary will need rebuilding, but at LB all five LBs who started or rotated in often return. Still on word I've seen on who the non-conference will be. B-W doesn't have a game on its website, both teams would prefer home in 2020, but going to Berea isn't really far away. Millikin (5-5 in 2019 with a couple of good wins) might also be an option, if they haven't filled their schedule. But any team would be better than Rochester.

Unionapalooza, Morgan is indeed a stud but he's not even the best WR in the PAC which is loaded with some really good Wrs

[WashJeff68]

And next year All American Adam Wolf returns for W&J after missing most pf this season due to injury. .

Case vs. Brockport would be awesome.

[ADL70]

Case vs. Brockport would be awesome.

Agreed, but same issue as with B-W. I saw that a while back, but Brockport is looking for home in 2020 as is CWRU.

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

One of my favorite memories was traveling over Thanksgiving, in anticipation of a National Semifinal game.
Of course, that was a long time ago (35 years to be exact) but it was wild in that hotel in Pella, IA the day that Doug Flutie hooked up with Garard Phelan for the Miracle in Miami.
Players were in rooms when it happened and the whole hotel EXPLODED with the catch.....

[Pat Coleman]

Fun story! I have one similar about basketball. When I was SID at Catholic, we played in the Sweet 16 and we were all in a hotel room in Wilkes-Barre when Bryce Drew hit the buzzer-beater for Valpo to upset Ole Miss.

[Husker Four four]

Bob Gregg - Can WJ reclaim their usual spot atop the PAC or are they destined to stay back in the "PAC" lol for the foreseeable future?

[Bob.Gregg]

Not sure why you ask my opinion on this particular topic.  You know that I've "never worn the helmet" and "never been in the arena".....
