FB: Liberty League

[redswarm81]

The Liberty League has announced its weekly football award winners and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) student-athlete Jimmy Robertson has been named the Offensive Performer of the Week.  This marks the second weekly honor of the season for the Engineers quarterback.

Robertson, a senior from Yonkers, N.Y., completed 22 of 35 passes for 354 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions to help Rensselaer to a 35-14 victory over Liberty League rival Susquehanna.  He also rushed for 52 yards on nine carries.

How did you guys think I did on the ITH show? Just looking for some feedback. Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?

Is Coast Guard (Coast Guard?) still running the triple option? They have a national but unique recruiting pool, then the task of trying to adapt the players to the system instead of vice versa.

No, Coast Guard runs the no-huddle spread 100% of the time. 

Thanks JU.  They should have an easier time recruiting for that style than the flexbone they used to run.

I get the impression that they don't really recruit at all there.  But what they do get are kids who are in rediculus shape.  The linemen are probably the smallest in the country but are fitted for that style of play.  Fantastic athletes and 5 quick receivers who never stop and never get tired.

That sort of would have been my guess, but still--how can anyone explain the beatdown that Coast Guard got from USMMA?

First game of the year with a lot of first year players including the quarterback.  It looks like CG had some decent offense that game just by looking at the boxscore but let up 21 points in the 3rd quarter.

Plus it was Merchant Marine's second game and Coast Guard's first. Plus Coast Guard barely beat Merchant Marine last year at Coast Guard when Coast Guard was a lot better.

Going 7-0 in the NEFC Bogan doesn't seem to be too different than going 1-6 in the LL.

Mates,

Coast Guard is definitely down this year.  You heard my discussion re: Bill George's interview in the preseason when we spoke with Coach Toop last night on ITH.  He lost a huge number of players on either side of the ball.  The MMA win was not a shock.

Advice:

Down in Trinidad on some business... If anyone tries to sell you a vacation here don't go..

Lot's of crime and not a tourist spot.  As I have to come hear a few more times, I may try and see Tobago which they say is pretty nice.

Catching up on the LL banter.  Went straght from the Susq game to Trinidad.  Was very impressed with the Engineers who played a very complete game Sat. 'cept for the late punt block.  Pavletz came off a 270+ yard game against Rochester and was held to 76.  As mentioned before the kid is a good back low center of gravity and hard to knock off his feet at 225.

The O line receivers and Robertson had a really strong game.  Robertson made only 2 throws into a bit of coverage something he did a few too many times last year.  He was accurate and had time to look down the field which was something that was a bit of a probelm early in the year.  When he was pressured he took off and made positive yardage.  He is a bit underrated for his running ability.  His only fault when he runs is sometimes he looks to punish people downfield.. at his size and strength he can and does do it but I think a few more slides would make alot of folks happier.

Making the trip up to SL on Sat.  RPI just needs to stay focused..

Now to complete my LL fix I need to catch up with the LL radio archive and I will be set till Sat...

Thanks again guys for your effort on the broadcast.  Makes the stay in the Holiday Inn Express in Trinidad bearable!

Ouch.

Touche, but ouch nonetheless.

2d game v. opening day probably explains some, too.  I hope it's a bulging-neck-vein rivalry, too.

Nice work DC.  Hey at least gro knew somewhere (posts, ATR) that you were employed in VT and not Toga anymore.  Check your sources boys!
