Boy did the pick em rankings really get screwed up this week.....I think I go 1 right, not counting the ODAC picks.

the d3 football scoreboard says NCWC 35 CNU 7??? Is that right?

AUPOP · October 17, 2009, 05:22:56 PM

Thats what NCWC web site says also so guess so...

Allen C · October 17, 2009, 05:39:25 PM

Thats what the CNU Live Stats said

That was the score 35-7. CNU had 7 turnovers and many 3 and outs. Defense tried very hard and just was on the field too much. CNU has a serious QB problem this year. The QBs are young. Flashes of brilliance, then a pick six. I think all 7 turnovers were from QB's but I'm not sure...3 INTs and 4 fumbles. With 44 seconds left in third it was 14-0. I had to leave a little early (my dad is ill) - when I left in 4th qt...about 4 minutes or so left, it as 21-7. By the time I got to my car it was 35-7 - and I parked about 50 yards outside of the stadium gate. NCW was awesome.....their receivers are huge. I would have tossed the ball up on every play and let the big boys outjump CNU's corners. 35-7 was not indicative of the game....it looked liked it should have been 50+ to 7.

That was the worst CNU home defeat in history. Not a pretty homecoming at all.

Congrats to NCW!

the mu/su game was very entertaining...not the prettiest football you've ever seen, but really entertaining and the monarchs got a 42 yd fg in ot to get the W (after blocking a fg attempt by SU in OT)

Biggest win in Greensboro's History.

Thats for sure.

Congrats to Tunde Ogun for becoming CNU all time leading rusher, and he did it in just 3 years.

CNU set another record this week. Most turnovers in one game. Ridiculous.

I'm not sure who said CNU has a huge advantage due to the size of their linemen. From what I could see. NCW has some big boys pushing up front. I will have to disagree with CNU85 though. NCW is good but it really really all boiled down to the turnovers. When you give the team the ball 9 times(Oh sorry two penalties so just 7 times) it's hard to win. Take the turnovers out and NCW looks like a good team with very good receivers but far from a great team. With that said, I think they are definitely beatable by a few USA south teams left on their schedule. I know Im biased toward CNU but 7 turnovers? And they were real gimmies. INTs with no blue jerseys nearby. QB #7 fumbled the ball so many times I lost count. And he never really got hit hard either. He just didnt hold onto the ball. I think I saw him fumble 5 times. I mean the deaf and blind school for girls could have won if they got 7 turnovers. The game was the worst I have ever seen CNU play. EVER. And I have seen almost every game. EVER.

Now for a positive note. It can't get any worse than that. And a pissed off, wounded football team is a scary thing. Look for CNU to come out swinging on every other team it faces this year.

get em while they are down!

Seems a few teams had disappointing homecomings. After looking like it might be a long afternoon in Q1, AU pulled out a tight game. Just like CNU's loss - turnovers hurt Maryville.

Conference race looks wide up (w/obviously NCWU currently in the best position) - Won't be surprised if there's a tie for title.

WFU34 · October 18, 2009, 08:22:31 AM

Looking at Maryville's remaining schedule, AU may be their biggest fans for the next 4 games.
