guilford wins in 2ot with a td pass

That game should have never gotten to OT.  Last play of the game Greensboro's kicker.  Kicked a FG right off the inside part of the left upright.  Officials ruled it no good.  Could the kicker have done a better job? Yeah, but the FG was good. Officials were really good in todays game.  CNU watch out because you have a pissed of Greensboro coming into town. I wonder if there is something that can be done about that FG call.

I am waiting for the Box Score to be posted.  I want to align it with my keys I set.

Maryville's Web site is saying that the Scots beat the Bishops 50-48 in 4 overtimes!

I bet that would've been an awesome game to be at.

Keys to Victory the Souper Bowl (I guess I might start doing this, every week  )

Greensboro

Get to the QB-Big guys in the middle playing against the smaller OL of Guilford

Stopping the Pass- Guilford's top rank passing offense vs the 10th rank pass defense.

Force Turnovers- AU picked of Vogelbach 4 times and and Greensboro leads USASC in defensive take-aways.

Guilford

Execute the run- Guilford loves to pass, but Greensboro can't stop the run.

Score First- Greensboro is 2-0 when they score first this year. 3 out of the last 4 years whichever team score first in this game won.

Don't be distracted- It's Alumni weekend, Homecoming and the dedication of the football field.

Greensboro
Get to the QB- (1 sack for 2 yd loss.  Far from steller.)

Stop the Pass-(defense kept them below that season avg.)

Force TO- 5 INT's and 1 FUM.  6 TO total.  I though there was one more but not.) +3 in TO today

Guilford

Execute the Run- 60 yards on 20 carries. Much better that first loss they had.

Score First- Gave up the safety, but had the first offensive score.

Avoid Distractions-With all the things that went on today.  Well Guilford won.


Now I want somebody to tell me that Greensboro's defense/pass defense is not that good.  Forced 6 (5 INT, more then AU) TO held them to the lowest output passing and total offense all year.  (Two things that 3  teams in the USASAC couldn't do.)  Watch out USASAC.

Averett's defense has proven in the last game and a half that they can shutdown passing whackos and running whackos. (which are both equally mind blowing, I might add) You guys are all stats hungry so I hope you see what the Cougars did to "unstoppable" Pitts and the gang, in what was sure to be a "wild shootout". The Mt. Union and Wesley experiences are paying off. Nov. 4 @ CNU for the whole thing. Careful about sleeping on the AU defense!

BBall Guy - Here's something else for your stat hunger - AU got a "W" against Guilford. G'boro got an "L". Are those to stats as important in Gboro basketball as they are to most football teams? As for your FG situation - I would hope your self - proclaimed 1st team all conf. kicker didn't miss ANOTHER clutch kick! How did I guess you would find some way to whine about officials? Can't wait for the Pride to get its shot against one of the big dogs.

Officials were really good in todays game. 

Eh-you

I thought it was a really good game.  I thought they missed the last call.  I am not complaining at all. Just Coach Mitchell was pissed.  He pulled out the rule book on that call.  I didn't.  I seriously thought it was even called game.  I agreed with every penalty that was called.

[TXMike]

What does the rulebook have to do with it?  If it went over the cross bar it is good but if it went under it is no good.  Does not matter if it hit the posts or crossbar.

It went off the left inside of the upright. It was called no good.

[CNU85]

Finally!!! CNU scores again....up 17-3 4:45 left

[TXMike]

Regadless of what it went off. did it end up going through?  If they ruled it no good they must have ruled it went outside the upright.

[narch]

honestly, if an official screwed up a fg call, there is no excuse for that, and quite honestly, i don't see how that's possible with where they are positioned...are you absolutely certain it went through prideguy?

[CNU85]

I like the SU live stats page. CNU should have that! Good job.

CNU D wins the game as the O struggles with 3 turnovers. First win for CNU @ SU!!!

[TXMike]

News story on the Greensboro game says kick hit the TOP of the left upright and went over.  If that means it went over the upright then the kick is no good.  Must go between the uprights (or the uprights "extended"). 

[narch]

i wonder if sports illustrated will put vogelbach in faces in the crowd for all the int's he's thrown the last  few games like they did after he opened the season with 2 straight 400+ yard games

5 int's...wow - great job lady lion defense!

the monarchs got an unimpressive offensive performance and an outstanding defensive performance today, winning 16-8 @ ehc...i wish i could combine the defense this year from the offense last year...that would be one hell of a team - i still think the offense will come around, though

cougars are on the clock...hopefully the offense will get things right this week

[PrideSportBBallGuy]

It hit the top, and top meaning not at the bottom.  It was on the inside of the upright at the top.  We had fans standing behind the uprights said it went through.  I heard after the game that an official said it went through. (He wasn't one of the ones behind the goal post.  He was on our sideline. They had a conference for about 5 minutes before OT started.    It may have been a rival, but not a conference game.  We will get CNU next weekend.  (Pride was down 14 points in the 4th quarter.  Last years team would not have pulled that off.)

Greensboro can put up points in a hurry too.  28 seconds.  (ok it was Guilford  ).  Just hope the defenses show up.   

Plus held Vogelbach to his lowest completion % on the year

[Eh-You]

If I were a MC fan I would hope all 3 phases would get things right. The AU offense is deadly, the D has been shutting folks down. and special teams the last 2 weeks have won them games. AU by 3 scores, on the road, sitting in the home bleachers
