FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[redlandsfan]

My prediction for this weekend goes like this:

Redlands over Whitworth 21-17!!!

Redlands passing game looked good in the schrimmage, they were throwing the deep ball a bunch....4 and 5 wide almost every play....I just hope we can find a running game.  Whitworths strong running game could give Redlands some trouble with that 4-3 the dogs are running...maybe we can cheat a safety into the box......

Does anyone know if the game will be on the radio??? 

Go Bulldogs!

Gray Fox -

Do you have a link? - when I pulled up their website, I didn't see him.

Didn't he play in at least one game last year? What are the rules about moving up divisions? Is he eligible this year?

[RFB]

Joe Johnson, transfer running back from Utah left Redlands after three practices. A previous article said he was pretty burned out on football after leaving Utah.

[RFB]

Hopefully Redlands has infused some new talent on defense. Looks like they got some good transfers in.

[PitDawg]

Pitzer over P.S. 21-7.

Redlands wins 24-10

Seems like that tends to happen with "bounce back kids"  they have often had enough of the game - Brett Elliott (of Linfield) and Collins at Oxy seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

Anybody have nominations for an all SCIAC historic bounce back team?

I'm going to stay out of the prediction business, don't want to bring any bad Karma to the SCIAC.  It's pretty critical for our teams to play well vs. the NWC.

I say the NWC goes 3-0 against your boys this week! Phone it In!

[RFB]

We can't hear you, busy signal.

Am kinda surprised about the Johnson kid from Utah but the kids at Redlands are better off if his heart isn't in it, D3 also approaches and looks at things alittle differnt then D1, seems the kids play for the love of the game
Anyway here are my perdictions:
Oxy 28- Chapman 14
Claremount 21- Kings Point 24
Colorado 14- Whitter10
Pomona/Pitzer 21- Puget Sound 18
Whitmore 28- Redlands 27
Cal Lu 28- PLU 21

Tuxguy-

I think you got your numbers transposed   

[Tuxguy]

Football season is here. Let The GAMES begin! I think UPS might open some eyes this yr. PLU will be good, just a yr or 2 away with 3rd yr coach. Whitworth is for real, good QB & WR's (IMHO)should be  an interesting preseason. The only time we get to see a SCIA team play the Cats is in post season. Good luck to all this weekend   "GO WILDCATS"  50 in 05

PitDawg-

I don't think there is any way Whitworth is held to 10.  They will put up some points.  I think it will be a good game but a shootout.  Traditionally two good offenses going at it...I would lean towards Whitworth after they played Linfield so well last year but they did lose some guys.  They still have their QB though, who is a good one.  Should come down to the wire!  Good luck with your opener, Linfield should have their hands full as well. 

[RFB]

Redlands vs. Whitworth is going to be a good one, wish I could see it in person. I forsee a shootout just like last year.

My prediction:

Redlands   35
Whitworth 34

[Pat Coleman]

If young Master Elway is transferring down from Division III to Division I, he must sit out a year.

[scandihoovian]

I think RFB's right - it's another shootout.  While Redlands traditionally starts the season slowly, I'll give them the edge if they can get out to an early lead and build some confidence.

I'm surprised so many of you NWC guys are backing the Lutes - sounds like they lost a number of starters off of last year's slightly disappointing team...
