FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

7-3 at half.

Refs leaving a lot to be desired. Inconsistent and missing calls on both sides.

[Crawford]

7-3 at half.

Robert are you remembering to breathe?

I don't know if Cortland's going to win this, but Zac Boyes is the best player on the field, and it's not especially close.

Truth!

Now we're getting the shootout we all thought was coming

[Crawford]

That was a gutsy call, love coaches that are willing to do that.

[FishHack76]

Probably should have stuck with the original playcall on the 2-point conversion, or stuck with the misdirection. The play was far too telegraphed.

[New Tradition]

Man, Cortland earned that. Congrats to them.

[FishHack76]

Yep. Great game.

Honestly, I'm not even sure it would have mattered. NCC had no answer for Boyes and Cortland's offense in the second half

[FishHack76]

True. 1:20 was more than enough time to score.

We should know sometime tonight or tomorrow morning what Vegas thinks about this matchup.

I'm expecting something like NCC -17.5 and would expect a total around 70.. but we'll see. Definitely a new matchup for oddsmakers to deal with considering there have only been 6 different teams (I think) that have played in the Stagg Bowl in the last 10 seasons. Cortland will be the 7th.

70 should be the O/U on NCC points.  Your numbers would be "put the mortgage down" type numbers, I hope Vegas agrees with you

I've got a feeling this is going to look a lot like the 2021 UHMB-NCC Stagg bowl. NCC were able to do a bit offensively but the athletes at the skill positions for UHMB were a level above NCC and NCC ultimately couldn't cope.

That said, my prediction for Wartburg was way off so... (and oddly enough I thought that one would look like the OTHER NCC-UHMB meeting).

with all due respect to Cortland, that would be a dream for ESPN and the NCAA (are they one in the same these days?).  I'm hoping for a competitive shoot-out, but it's going to be a physical mismatch with a bunch of long NCC runs and pop passes for TDs.  63-21.  Cortland will keep the starters in a get a late TD

Oops

[New Tradition]

Walking away with no points on those first 2 trips inside the 10 turned out to be the difference maker. Gotta finish those.

[FishHack76]

Closest D3 title game in history. Central (Iowa) beat Ithaca by two points in 1974.
