FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[ADL70]

CWRU's only previous loss to StV was 2014; also the last time they lost as many as three in a row (lost four in a row to end the season and ended 3-7). Hopefully not headed there. Morgan finally got a lot of targets, but he's failing to haul in passes that he would have in year's past and not breaking tackles. Fade's to him were almost a sure TD  in the past. He only has one TD this season. Overall the receivers don't seem to get much separation.

Give StV's coaches credit. They made adjustments to the run game and took the second half kick and marched down the field to tie the game. Then Saxton threw his second pick six of the season. Nearly all of the Bearcat's rushing yards were in the second half.

Spartans get a week off to regroup and heal and then face 0-5 Bethany

Apologies if I missed it somewhere, but is Michael Wojkowski injured?  He hasn't played the last two games, and wasn't even listed on the two deep.  That really hurts them, as he is probably the fastest guy on the team.

He was out of uniform for W&J. He is the third leading Spartan WR despite essentially only playing in two of the five games.

 Bob Gregg,

the quote "I taught him everything he knows, but not everything I know"  was in The Color of Money, and The Mysterious Lady,  a 1928 film starring Greta Garbo, and perhaps others, according to Google.

Another dominating performance today from W&J. Now a bye week to get ready for the big showdown that will probably determine the Conference Champion. Again, your broadcast was about one play ahead of the broadcast.

FINAL:  Carnegie-Mellon 34, #24 Westminster 10.

According to announcer Bob Orkwis, CMU's 4th straight win over a Top 25 opponent.


From Quick Takes:
"Which Top 25 team is most likely to be upset...
Kevin's take: No. 24 Westminster (Pa.). On the road at Carnegie Mellon, this matchup hasn't been decided by more than 14 points in the last 8 meetings with CMU winning 3 of those.

Massive schedule upgrade for CWRU. They host Johns Hopkins in week 1 2022.

[WashJeff68]

Interesting. Schedule includes Allegheny but not Thiel.

Good catch I hadn't noticed that. With Allegheny coming back to the PAC, one team has to left off of each team's conference schedule to allow for one out of conference game. I wonder what process decided which team was left off.

Welcome R2 posters, we have R1/R2 discussion located on the R1 section. Happy to add a voter from the PAC.

When did PAC get moved to Region 2?
We've been on Region 3 all year....

A mid-season shifting of conferences for regional evaluation?
Tell me THAT doesn't have NCAA written all over it.

So, now one region has 50+ teams, one has under 40....

Hi, Bob -- Region 1 has 51 teams, but 10 of them are the NESCAC, which doesn't participate, so ... not really.

[Bob.Gregg]

Crunch time in the PAC. I wouldn't expect a team with more than 1 loss to win the title (and AQ), but it could happen.

Over the next three weeks, unbeaten W&J faces the three teams with one conference loss:
10/23 Westminster (lost to Carnegie-Mellon)
10/30 Grove City (lost to Westminster)
11/6 Carnegie-Mellon (lost to Grove City)

Of course, the Academic Bowl is also ahead of us (11/13) as CMU hosts CWRU.

CWRU, along with the rest of the field, already has at least 3 conference losses and are out of the playoff picture except as potential spoilers.

Has Coach Siriani lost 3 times in a row to anyone other than Westminster in the PAC during his time at WJ?
