FB: Midwest Conference

[Moncolfan]

With Beloit no longer on the rise I guess that leaves Knox as the only team on the rise this year in the conference. I'm going with the Scots 52-13.  St. Norberts wins a defensive struggle this time by a score of 13-7 and IC wins 102 -3, in an attempt to impress the selection committee.

So no one is talking about the RC MC game?  I believe that the score doesn't show how good of a game it really was.  RC's offense did a great job of moving the ball on MC, but had some issues pulling through in the Red Zone.  It's also hard to win a game when it only takes MC's offense 3 minutes to score.  Ripon takes anywhere from 6-12 minutes of the clock and then gets to rest for about 3-4m and has to go back out and do it again.  The offense didn't take advantage of the 2 stops that RC's defence had, before the half.  If they could have capitalized on those it might have been 28-7 at half RC..  But it was a great game and MC is a true competitor.  Being an RC fan and always hoping they win, I will say I came into that game thinking it was going to be a thrashing, and was impressed when RC moved the ball and scored on their first two series, with one of the series taking 12 minutes off the clock. 

On a side note, I watched the game via the computer and the guy that is doing the play by play on the internet does not understand football at all.  It got to the point were I had to mute the sound because of how horrible he was.  Never had the down and distance correct, didn't know that it's called the option not a QB pitch.

Why do I have -1 in karma, is it because I made fun of LU's 1 fan?   

I haven't been around to give it to you, so that must make me think other people on this board think you are a jackbag too......

It's tough to be one of the few on this board that actually knows what they are talking about when they post.  We can't all have come backs that talk about how great our academics are.  The fact that no one wants to debate my posts is because I win.  I don't write stupid non-sense on this board, I stick to the facts and every once in awhile take a jab at LU. 

Good Luck to everyone this week except Beloit and LU....

Rather than risk receiving a smackdown of a loss via debate, I simply will give you credit as a fan for squeezing the most possible out of a 42-17 defeat.

They do have a win over NathCon power Wisconsin Lutheran. Who did Monmouth beat in their non-coference game again scottie ?? LMAO

[Maverick]

It was a good game through the first half, but Monmouth was in complete control during the final 30 minutes.  Going off of the final series of the first half here--Ripon should've been up at least 17-14 at half, but that was not red zone issues...that was game mis-management at it's worst.

Who did Beloit beat in their non-conference game, The Roop?

Hey........... Don't pick on me because I scolded scottie for picking on Ripon. He should be scolded for any number of reasons.

To quote a wise man, White Goodman from the movie Dodgeball...touche.

Maverick,

I agree with your assessment about Ripon's end of the 1st half mismangement, last week.

However, I attribute a lot of their problems to an offensive scheme that limits their ability to effectively pass  (nada) or score on ground when  their options are limited,  because  they have limited space available to run in.

Boring offense to witness, sorry Ripon fans.

Or could it be,  that the Scots,  really have a very good goal line defense (thanks to Defensive Coordinator, Coach Chad Braun)?

Scots win this week---taking one game at a time.

Geez Red Squawk if you know that much about football you must be a coach or something, and if thats the case why are you even on this board? I'm still trying to figure out how you guys should have been up 28-7 at half last week.  Geez even if you were you still would have lost-lol

[gbpuckfan]

A windy day in De Pete - blustery. Wind cutting across the field towards the stands. SNC missing top two RB could hurt cuz could be tough to pass.

[gbpuckfan]

This could be a loooong game. Less than 3:00 of clock time elapsed in 18:00 of real time: punt. Punt. Punt and no first downs....

[gbpuckfan]

Fabrizio escapes pressure. Completes to Krueger for about a 50yrd TD. 7-0 SNC.

[TitanPride]

IC 14 Knox 0 after 1

[gbpuckfan]

Carroll gets 35 yrd TD run. Tied 7-7 near end of first
