52 points a shocker. That reminds me of a score from two years ago when RC and SNC squared off for the MWC championship and SNC won 52-27.

Rough start AGAIN for Ripon, thats got to get worked out in about 6 days. Ripon pulls out 20-6 with a win, their D kept them in the whole game. Beloit's D stepped up big, kudos to them. Not the best offensive day for either teams.

MC vs RC - Battle of the final undefeated teams - showdown in one week. Will be an exciting affair, hopefully Ripon finds the magic cure to slow down Monmouths offense (not sure if there is a way to slow it down)

Lake Forest big over Lawrence

Grinnell 28 - Knox 12

Carroll vs IC at 5:00pm

Would've liked to see the defense play a little better. Nonetheless, a 4 touchdown victory. This one feels good, but the Scots can't fall asleep until after next week at Ripon...then cruise control until the playoffs.

Congrats to the Scots. That was a decisive victory!

Coco:
Decisive doesn't adequately describe it. The Scots still have the high power offense, but I am going to disagree with MWCfan787 a little and say I think the Scots defense is improved over the team I saw last November.

Tanney is quite a quarterback, but that Monmouth o-line isn't exactly chopped liver. It seems he could have set a campfire and made s'mores he had so much time to find open receivers.

coco · October 10, 2009, 07:26:09 PM

Yikes. Think they can kick some Minnesota ass in November?

MWCfan787 · October 10, 2009, 07:31:40 PM

that monmouth defense that you say is much improved lost 7 starters, yes they are playing great and new players have filled in great... mobile quarterbacks are frustrating though, Berger is a great athlete

yeah, the o-line has been pretty much the same for 3 years now though, they're good

really happy though that they continue to run the ball well

they need to play even better week now, don't just beat ripon, leave no doubt

I've heard that last phrase somewhere before....

Congrats Monmouth - good luck the rest of the way.

MWCfan787 · October 10, 2009, 08:44:11 PM

good luck the rest of the way to the Green Knights too

9-1 could get you guys into the dance, we'll all be rooting for you

Looks like gut check time for the Bucs this week when they visit IC. Ripon was/is the better team so I can't say Beloit should have won, but this was a game they certainly could have won. I tend to agree with the broadcast team that the offense came out a little too amped up and could never settle down and focus on the task at hand. Penalties and turnovers gave the Red Hawks short fields in the 4th quarter and that was the difference.

7 wins is still possible which would equal the number they've won in the previous three years combined. IC is one of those they need to win however. I like their chances against LU and GC, not so much against SNC, so this is a crossroads game for them. They're on the verge of a tremendous season but it could all unravel with a poor performance this week.

Well good evening every one. 8)

I finally got a chance to sit at the computer and type up a message. Two very important things need to be said.

1. Congrats to Monmouth. Your offense is VERY good. I find it possible, depending on the draw, that you could go a little deeper in the play-offs this year. That is if you can keep a couple of ego's in check. Not only did you move the ball well in the air, you mixed in the ground game at the right times and moved very well on the ground also. Good luck and I hope we meet again this year.

2. The second item was a big hello and glad to have met you to Warthog. He and a couple friends decided to take in the SNC - MC game Saturday. I wish it had been a better show for you. But thanks for your support.

I wanted to get a post in before the start of the week. Work has been very busy and I wasn't sure what tomorrow will bring.

Every one have a great week.

GO GREEN KNIGHTS

Notes from games not known as St. Norbert vs. Monmouth

LFC-LU
First two touchdowns of the game were defensive returns... LFC defense forced 6 turnovers (and there were three more fumbles they didn't recover)
LU only had 159 yards offense until their final drive against the Forester's backups (based on who made tackles). The Foresters weren't much better with 178 yards total offense. Defense and Special teams won this game for them.

Knox-Grinnell-
GC scores two touchdowns on 7 yards of offense (fumble return for a TD and a 2play 7 yard drive) though Bogard didn't play much in the second half-- (he is usually their kicker and didn't kick either in the second half). Not sure if this was an injury or precautionary.

Carroll-IC

Carroll and IC both get special teams touchdowns---CC with a 55 yard punt return, and 90 yard blocked punt return for IC-- if this is true, what was CC doing punting inside their 20 yard line????Anyone see that play? Casper from Carroll has his career game 15 of 20 for 250yards.. including 3
Tocuhdown passes.. Niekamp has his season worrst game14 of 41 for under 240 yards.

Question for discussion--- who is THE best WR in the conference... this is the position that I think the conference is most talented at.

Jennings at IC, Carter at LFC, Gezella at SNC, Blodgett and Shephard at Monmouth, Ross at Beloit? any thoughts?
