SOU beats Menlo 16-14.....Menlo went ahead 14-9 with 42 seconds remaining.  SOU runs back the kickoff for a TD and wins the game!

any news on the Willamette?

[D O.C.]

Trying their website but it's frozen somehow right now.

Found G.A.'s OUCH! victor 37-7.

0-2 for the Willy's.

[Wildcat'64]

Double Ouch ...
GA was 3-7 last year overall and 3-5 in the MIAC getting clobbered by St. Johns and Concordia.  I wondered if they have improved that much or is WU just not very good this year? 

[MonroviaCat]

I'm gonna guess that the Willamette isn't that good this year (at least not yet).  Reports from last week was that they were a mess.

D3 Scoreboard tells me Cal Lutheran beat the Lutes 17-14. That leaves only L&C an the Cats to improve the league average. GO CATS!

Score was 16 - 13. Menlo missed their first PAT. I was there, just got home. Intersting tid bit for you all. Menlo hasn't given up an offensive TD in 2 games and SOU hasn't scored an offensive TD in 2 games. Both teams are 1 - 1. SOU's points today are the kick return mentioned, a punt return for TD and a safety. Menlo has scored 2 TDs in each game. 3 passing and 1 rushing.

LET'S GO CATS!!!!!

Forgot about the Rats. Sorry Spokane.

GO CATS

Update on Logger game:

Even though La Verne threw the ball over 60% of the time, UPS still wins 28-21.

According to sources, the game was comparable to their game with Whittier, where they held a 14 point lead with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter, when a TD was given up.  So, the score is a bit misleading.

Lee had over 100 yards again, and this was with a sore ankle from last game.  

The defense gave up less than 100 yards rushing, and finished the game with 3 interceptions and 2-3 sacks.  The experienced D-line is obviously causing problems for opposing teams.

The most astounding part of the game, was that UPS had 100+ passing yards on the game.  Looks like QB Kavin Williams is ready to step up and lead the Loggers to a great season.

I'll edit or add when the official statistics are released.

Chop'em down, Loggers!

PS - The Willamette game surprises me.  Any good word on the Pi-rats?

Nice Catch ClassicCat!  Rats game could be interesting and might say a lot about the NWC this year (since Whitworth has been the most competitive with Cats in recent years).

[hatchetman75]

Nm....Whitworth game isn't until 10.... my mistake.

[MonroviaCat]

Hey Hatchetman,

Stats are up on the logger stat page.  Looks like the loggers pulled it out in the 4th quarter

[MonroviaCat]

Getting ready for the multimedia football experience with Texas-OSU on the TV and the Cats on the Computer!!!!  Might even flip to watch some TV games to really get my football juices flowing....

Did a little more looking at the UPS stats:  UPS ran the ball well again and threw it when they needed to (2 passing TDs).  On the otherhand, their D came up with 3 picks which was likely the big difference in the game.  ULV threw the ball quite well (over 300 yds passing between 2 QBs) but did not run well and of course threw the 3 INTs.  UPS is gonna have to establish a bigger passing game if they want to compete with some of the NWC competitors I think.  Good to see them off to a good start though!

Hold the fort.
As I leave for the Whitworth-Redlands game I had a nice thought come to me-there were probably 50 secret agents watching  that WOU game last week. I trust the scheme that has been devised.
