Wheaton 21 - Hope 7

Near the half.

Interception by Wheaton in their endzone to halt a big drive by Hope. 

2 INT's and 4 sacks by the Wheaton defense in the 1st half.

21 - 7 Wheaton at the half.

Wow... Ittersagen and Studebaker are special players. 

Ittersagen's 1st punt return was 34 yards.  He just took another one back 70+ yards - although it was called back on a penalty.  Still... instead of taking a fair catch, he caught the punt with someone all over him, broke the tackle, reverse all the way across the field and took it home.  Wow...

I just turned on the game.  Agree - Ittersagen and Studebaker are special players.  I don't know if I've ever seen a D3 defensive end get off the ball with more explosion than Studebaker.  And Intersagen, he just finds a way to make plays.

Whoa... Late in the 3rd quarter. NCC 10 - Wash U. 9

Didn't see that one coming.

[Mugsy]

13-9 NCC over WashU with 5 minutes left in the game.

Wheaton is rushing better this game.  Hard to believe Rowson can make such a difference.

How good is Hope's rush defense?  Wheaton seems to be passing the ball pretty well to open up the run.

I was not surprised to see Hope being competitive.  The Manning to VanEerden connection has been good so far tonight for the Dutchman.  Studebaker looks much better tonight.  I was encouraged with Rocky Gingg.  He seemed to be a good power runner.  He might be the good change of pace back Wheaton is looking for.

What a big difference with Rowson in there!

Bradley looks very comfortable in the pocket.  Is he a sophmore or Junior?

Hope is letting up 300+ yards a game passing and 170+ yards on the ground.  Wheaton is gashing them pretty well right now.

TD Wheaton... drive was mostly on the ground.  Nice to see.

Wheaton 28 - Hope 7.

No hope for Hope tonight.

Pete Ittersagen looks almost as good as the Mad Swede as the gunner on the punting unit.
