Looks like every team in the league had a great weekend. Hopefully, all goes well this weekend as well. What do you guys think your predictions are this week. Looks like Oxy will do just fine. I assume that the redlands-trinity game will also be a bit of a good game. In addition, it sounds like Cal Lu is doing fine. Anywho's, the rest of the teams should have a good day as well. I got oxy as my top pick this week.

I have an early prediction for next week........ it looks like redlands will get an upset next week. We just all have to wait and see.

Any Redlands alumni going to be at the game this Saturday night???

Oxy playing Lewis & Clark shouldn't be much of a game, but Trinity v. Redlands has the potential to be alright. I haven't heard much about how Redlands looks compared to last year. Does it look like Redlands has a shot at winning?

Go Tigers!

The main red flag I saw in the stats was and I may be mistaken as its been a long week at work but I think Brown was the leading rusher, the passing game seemed OK but the DB's and the lack of a rushing attack, seems to be a concern, but alass Maynard is very good at getting things fixed and by league you can bet he will be hitting on all cylinders.

After having seen Trinity play the last two weeks, Redlands will probably have to execute their passing game to get a win on Saturday.   Trinity is only allowing 50 ypg on the ground ... though some of that is courtesy of 11 sacks.  Opponents are passing for nearly 250 ypg against the Tigers. 

Then again, it's a long trip between SA and Redlands (as we saw last year!) and past experience has been the home team gets about a 2 TD advantage out of that (see Pomona-Pitzer v. TU in '02 and '03). 

Good luck to all.

Sounds like the dogs tried to mount a comeback and came up short.

The Redlands Vs. Trinity was a great game to watch...The defense really played well in the second half.  Hopefully we can get on the winning track this weekend!!

Go Bulldogs!!

ULV didn't play that well and still put up some points against Whitworth.  I hear the officials didn't exactly call the game down the middle. But a loss is a loss.  No excuses for ULV.  UPS better watch out next week the Leps are hungry for some NWC meat.

If ULV is to beat UPS, they need to shore up their run defense. Giving up 205 to Whitworth (150 to Ashting) could mean many rushing yards for UPS and their offense. Lee could be on his way to another 200 yard effort if LaVerne doesn't improve from Saturday. Watch out for Silas Paul. He's 6'0", 225 pounds with speed. Ask Claremont. He broke a 91 yarder on Saturday where he blew by one of their DBs and shrugged off another.

ULV has the talent, but they can be inconsistent. One week they look like world beaters and the next they won't show up. Let's see which one shows up on Saturday.

Carlo,
ULV put up half its points and almost half its yards in the final nine minutes of the game against Whitworth's third string after the score reached 43-14.  So don't take too much stock in the final score.  The Leopards never got a running game going because the Oline was getting beaten by the Pirates' Dline.  In reality, it looked to me like the officials could've called holding a lot more often than they did.  The linemen had no choice.

Lights On

Is there a defense in the conferece that can stop the Oxy Offense, or the Cal Lu Offense? Should be a decent game this Saturday night between the two.

Lights On-

I agree, seems like the Cal Lu Oxy game will come down to which defense can come up with key plays at the right time.  I think the over/under should be in the seventies. 

I'm interested in what the board thinks about whether it's better to have a week off before a big game like this, as Cal Lu has, or is it better to play a game, even if it's against a weak opponent (Oxy vs. Lewis & Clark).

Tom Brady

In reguards to the question about having a bye week or having a game, I would say it depends on how you spent the off-day on Sat.  It sure is nice to have 2 weeks to prepare for a team like Oxy.  On the other hand, I am sure Oxy started putting in all their stuff for Cal Lu while preparing for L&C.  Looks like this game should be a dandy.  Wish I was going to be there.

S.C.I.A.C fans,


It looks like there were some pretty good games out there in the league. To whitter, a big congrats to beating menlo. Seems like other teams had a good day to. Except for redlands and others that lost, seems like everyone had a good day. Looks like these up coming weeks should be fine. Oxy should do well against Cal Lu. Pomona might just win again. Whitter looks like they have a good light at the end of their tunnel. Hope redlands can find their light. Anywho's, like last week i got Oxy still down to win their next game against Cal Lu. What do you guys think?
