OZ, After being gone and hearing about the situation at QB , this was my question as well. My impression of Crees, based on a limited amount of playing time is, He probably has a stronger arm than Kofoed but can't throw the touch pass as well. Not sure of his running abilities, although the J's don't ask their QB to do too much in this area. It will be very interesting to see how he performs this weekend.

Next question, for those of you that went to the Auggie Tech game, if Crees gets hurt who is next in line?

I think Crees throws a better ball than Kofoed in general.  He sees the field a bit better and doesn't necessarily "force" the ball to try to make plays (I didn't see the INT against Cord so I can't speak for that, but I have seen Kofoed as a fourth-year junior roll to his right and throw to the left flat...).  I personally like Crees' poise, and based on what I saw at Wayzata, he didn't get rattled much-- but he has a confident leadership to him.  At the very least, I hope he provides some incentive for Kofoed to continue to perform.

We will miss that intangible Kofoed-to-Gearman connection that we've seen over the past three years, as Kofoed has a knack for seeing Gearman when Alex is in trouble.

Sumander,

Back-ups at QB are Charlie Welsh and Jordan Hansel.  Welsh plays WR and took over in relief of Kofoed at Auggie Tech for a series or two.  Hansel played fairly extensively after Welsh at Auggie Tech and is a freshman.  Didn't see enough out of Welsh to get a good read.  Hansel did a good job--completed some nice passes and looked pretty comfortable running the ball--but he is small at 5'11" 180.

Welsh has the fact that he's got more experience going for him (plus his brother was a QB at SJU in the recent past).  Hansel lacks the experience, but probably concentrates on QB a bit more since he doesn't also play WR.  

Don't know which one they'd throw in first, but I would guess Welsh.

ROR has delivered the goods.  I unfortunately won't be able to add pics or member profiles until I return from Giant's Ridge on Sunday evening.

Enjoy the weekend boys!!

The cage fight match with Marcus is next Thursday, for all of you that will be heading out to it.

A friend of mine was at one of these and saw Marcus fight and said that he smoked the guy he fought, maybe he's got a future in it, he was a hell of a wrestler.  Not really what I'd like to do for a living but then I didn't go to Auggie Tech.

Crees will get the job done......My concern is if the Jay's O-Line can get it together.....Challegne is on them to do their jobs this week!!!  Crees has to be decisive, make his reads and get the ball out on time.  I really like the match-up we have with our TE/WR's and the DB's of CAR....

As far as Ramler knowing what SJU will do as he played there, and coached there, I concur with the fact that it comes down to execution.  Just a small other point, I am guessing that SJU has added a "few" more plays/formations/etc... since 2002..

Interesting article on graduation rates at the U

http://www.startribune.com/512/story/706607.html

I understand the numbers may be a little off, but not by that much.  I wonder what the grad rates on average are in MIAC schools?

Man, it's nice waking up in the early afternoon and finding out Detroit is down already...

tmerts - Under your skin? Sad as it may make you, hating ND has nothing to do with your love of the Golden Domers. Their losing has made me smile for nearly two decades now. Should I point you to the Forde-Yard Dash on espn.com for more good news?

On a somber note, I've just heard that TDT is pissed he wasn't cast as Screech's assistant in the video Saved by the Smell. Apparently the Dirty Sanchez has been a childhood dream that will have to wait a little while longer...

No idea. Any ideas cinema-buffs?

Don't know the title....but that Ali Landry, right?  Chick from those Doritos commercials a few years back?

[johnniepress]

The movie is called "Repli-Kate".
