FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[2LiveCru]

Yesterday was a case of SJU needing to be just a little better than the competition. The game was never in doubt.

Passing attack was efficicient, second half running game picked up and the two step passing attack kept Johnnie D on their toes.

Max Jackson punt return for TD was a walk through the park.

Johnnies in Belton will be a real football game however I expect SJU to prevail. Doubtful MHB has seen a QB, WRs, DT and DBs like The Johnnies. If MHB had you wouldn't see the terribly lopsided scores up and down the their schedule.

I was impressed with the tailgate crew and the home crowd. One of the best playoff crowds in my memory. Enthusiastic and vocal - somewhat out of the ordinary for Collegeville.

It's a special season for Johnnie Football.

Are you forgetting that this was a team that held Mount last year to one touchdown in the Stagg Bowl. ASC has two high powered offenses in ETBU (#6 in total offense,) and HSU (#5 in total offense).  Southwestern (#35 in total offense) can put up some numbers too. But I think this stat says a lot, UMHB defense has only allowed opponents 9 Red Zone Attempts all year. Out of 12 games only 9. What's even scarier, the vast majority of those 9, were against the backups after the game was well out of reach. I think the lopsided scores are more of a testament to the Defense of UMHB not the lack of quality competition.

I see the score looking similar to the HSU game.

No team has walked into Crusader Stadium and had their way with UMHB. And most teams that play UMHB for the first time are usually in for a rude awakening.

I enjoyed the North Central play-by-play guys, fairly balanced in their commentary.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the broadcast!

How much did you drink at the tailgate? I recall Max having a long punt return but I don't believe he took it to the house.

Ok, no Action Jackson TD?  I must have been thoroughly impressed and gave 6 points for style.

As for tailgating, whose counting!!

I saw the recorded attendance was 1,300+ however looking around it looked and felt considerably larger.

Like the Johnnie Football team "we were solid".

Most of that was me screaming behind you.  It left my voice hoarse for #1's wrestling tournament this morning!

Why are we even playing the game then?

I can appreciate your username, but spare me your bogus predictions.  All the respect in the world--UMHB is good, but they're no UMU/MUC.

Not a blow out but ... 2014 Linfield W, 31-28 vs UMHB in Belton.

2015 @ Catdome UMHB L, 38-35 to Linfield.

[sju56321]

I remember 2003-no chance-game before opponent won 66-0. That's why they play the game. Sju is the underdog no doubt-but can't count them out.

UMHB is 2-2  all-time against Mount Union.

I'm actually excited to see how SJU measures up to UMHB. But I just would be surprised if its closer than a 3 score game.

Great handle, but interesting to see the first two posts of your d3boards.com career on a visiting team's board. Does not bode well.

What?  You created this account just to troll over here and spare your real account from the negative karma?  Ha!  That makes me laugh hard.  A good dose of Texas courage you have.  Not.

Is this how the Cru roll?  Scared?  Nice.  I'm looking forward to this game twice over now.

Well, except for last season's MIAC champs. Who did just fine and were tied entering the fourth.

In fairness, UMHB only started playing football barely over 13 years ago!  Their rise to elite status was much, much faster than UMU's!

On the other hand, until UMHB can maintain such status for decade after decade, and has more rings than fingers to put them on, 2LiveCru would be well advised to dial it back a bit.
