Team D3football.com is getting ready to hit the road for the Kean/Merchant Marine game tonight.

If Kean is going to challenge Rowan for the championship this season, then they will roll over Merchant Marine. A close game would not be encouraging for them. Watch their offensive line. In the past they have had a tough time protecting Roque. If the current unit allows Roque to drop back and survey the field, Kean is going to put up a lot of points.

Is Kean that good or is the competition not up to par? I took MM +14.4, shows you what I know.

Rams, I think Kean just may be that good this season.

By the looks of their schedule they should be 4-0 and maybe break the top 25. Then they have Cortland, MSU and Rowan. Then we will see. Going to the Lackawana scrimage today. Should get a good idea of how my Red Hawks will look this year.

I wanted to make the Kean game last night but instead I decided it was time to catch my annual end of summer cold instead. Figures, this looks like the best weekend of the summer, especially with football starting up.

Here we go... 67-yard reverse by Davon Edwards 7-0 Profs, early first qtr

CNU drive stopped in Rowan territory... good punt puts Rowan O inside the 10 yd line. Rowan gains virtually no yardage. Good punt to the Rowan 40. CNU drives and kicks a 20+ yard FG 17-13 4 minutes 3rd qtr.

Rankin throws an INT. CNU starts at Rowan 15. Interference Rowan. Rowan stuffs CNU inside the 5. CNU kicks 23 yard FG 17-16 Rowan late 3rd.

thanks for the Rowan updates JT......keep em coming

Very competative game. Lot of good plays and tough defense on both sides.

For Rowan, oline needs to give Rankin more time. Poor game for them. Some bad snaps. Bad decisions by Rankin a few times. Rowan has to improve at the CB position. One guy gave up a couple of big plays, then CNU started picking on him.

If Rankin had a little more time, he had open receivers. Rowan could have put the game away. That fumble on the CNU 30 was the killer.

Profs need to regroup in two weeks for Wilkes. Talent is there. Team needs to gel.

1st opening day loss for Rowan since 1989.

gordonmann · September 01, 2007, 04:07:44 PM

Paterson upsets Wilkes 17-16. Second time in three years WPUNJ beats Wilkes.

CNU85 · September 01, 2007, 05:46:52 PM

JT,

That was a game between 2 very equal teams....wow what a game!!

oh...CNU didn't miss a 2 pt conversion....the dummies got so excited about the last TD and a 5 pt lead, that they kicked a PAT to go up by 6.....i think the emotion and excitement caused that decision. They should have gone for 2.....

the good news for the Profs - it was an out of region game.....even better news....they are one heck of a good team!

Finally - If Orihel was behind center today...RU wins.

DP just posted his thoughts on the LL board after watching the Cortland-Hobart scrimmage.

The Cortland defense looks tough again. A lot of talent graduated, but the kids stepping in have a lot of game experience. Hobart couldn't get a run game going.

The Pumpkins Heads brought a good defense too. They gave up a few scores to Cortland, but they did a nice job pressuring Smith and causing a few turnovers. Cortland needs to cut down on the offensive line penalties. A lot of holding and false starts. To be expected considering how green they are...but they need to do better than that starting next week.

Hit of the day - tailback Dustin Bowser laid out, and I mean LAID OUT a Statesman Defensive Lineman.
