FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

Marvin Sanders is an amazing DC.  Redlands QB never knew where the rush was coming from or the type of coverage.  Sanders D1 experience is showing.  Joey Asta should win SCIAC defensive player of the year.

Sorry for the frustrating season Doc. Glad your son got thru it healthy.

Thank you Old Dog..  He has great memories and avoided major injuries, like his three O-line teammates and roommates did.  He ended his career with a minute left in the game with a pancake/body slam and then followed up with a body splash (WWE style) on top of the Chapman linebacker and received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.  Coached pulled him after that play and he got a standing ovation from his teammates and away fans.
He said pre-game that if the game went south, he would end it with an ejection.  No ejection, but he picked up the flag after that play and handed it to the ref as he walked off the field to cheers after a terrible team performance.

CMS size and speed is impressive. The Stags are gonna be a tough 1st round draw for whoever they go to (Linfield or UMHB).

I do -- then I went over to Oxy-Linfield that evening, and I actually started off doing play by play on the Oxy broadcast because Craig Dunkin was stuck in traffic.

I also attended all three of those games. I believe it was CMS vs UPS in the first game which started at 12:00.  Second game was PP vs L & C with a 1:30 start then down the 210 to Eagle Rock for Oxy vs Cats with 7:00 start.

Stag Love,

I don't know if you ever played or coached the game but when your freshman DE just flat beats your tackle threes times on the edge there is nothing amazing about that rush, other than nice recruiting.  I think in two games he had 6 or 7 sacks and a ton of hurries.

CMS did not invent a slant or twist. It was basic football, we are quicker and stronger than you upfront, we are going to make your linemen move. CMS never brought more than 5, and 90% of time it was 3 or 4. UR linemen had lead in their shoes, our RB missed a few times too. Many times CMS went with a three man rush on 3rd and long and we still could not protect for a deep route to get a first down.

It was more about us than how crappy we are up front vs. CMS DC. I am sure he has a wonderful mind, but players win games, coaches lose them. When you play Linfield you will understand what I am talking about. They will find your weakest guy and exploit him. Don't get to pumped the let down will come soon when you play someone in the Top 10. You will see what quickness looks like upfront and why I keep ranting about it.

What I do not understand is why we did not go to some more TE sets in our game plan.. Widen out your frosh DE. Either way we get smoked, when our guards have zero chance of reaching a Linebacker you will not be able to run the ball too. Congrats to CMS

CMS players were better than UR's this season, good luck.

Old Dog,

I have both played and coached, and I do think it went beyond one player.  CMS came in with an excellent game plan.  Watch the tape, there were multiple coverages and blitz packages.  Redlands had 90 yds of offense.  These were the same players as Game 1 when it was a one score game and CMS had a vanilla game plan.

Offensively CMS came out passing.  As I noted prior to the game, Redlands will try to sell out and stop the run, which would open up the passing game.  The 15 yard hitches were wide open the entire game.

Bring back Oxy's football program!

I wish they would. Although I don't mind WC having "The Shoes" forever.

Stag,

There is no way I am going to watch that game again, death by a thousand paper cuts. I will give you the coverages changed but there is no reason to blitz UR...It was rare a backer came and as the game went on the DC figured out he did not need them. UR got dominated, even our D front did not play well. Our back end has struggled all season, clearly CMS has the Chapman game front and center.

Battle of jauntily cocked sailor's cap this weekend. Looking forward to the fresh matchup!

[olddog]

1) Congrats to PP, making the Playoffs, this is what makes sports fun. However you are Co-Champs ...
2) Now PP will find out what its like playing LF instead of Lewis and Clark, Warning to PP, every player at LF is pretty good...If PP wins it will be the biggest upset in Small College ball I have seen...Draft Kings has PP a 24 point dog
3) How can CMS go from having the DC of the year to giving up 21 to PP, players make plays not DC's, I am sure the DC practiced against the double pass, and PP ran nothing new....CMS did not look as ready as PP...dont know wy
4) I was amazed how CMS did not just keep going off tackle. Run the ball... dont panic
5) PP broadcaster was great, his voice was gone by the end of the game. The Hen's were Chirping

Have fun this weekend HEN's
