Nubs will always be the team to beat until someone actually does it.  But i have to say I am liking our chances this week.  Has anyone seen SNC play this year, whats the deal?  Inquiring minds want to know...
I could be wrong, but I doubt it....

Well its MC vs. Nubs this weekend.  If MC wins is SNC officially having a down year or is MC just as good as they have been playing?  If Nubs wins, where does MC go from here?  Is Carroll for real?

The St. Norbert vs. Monmouth contest will be a war! Give a slight edge to the home team. Lake Forest will struggle to put up enough points against the upper echelon teams in the MWC.
Look for an offensive explosion by the Grinnell Pioneers against Macalester this Saturday.

     Beloit played a hell of a game last Saturday and if they had decided to kick their extra points instead of going for 2 three times and failing they could have won.  Their defense played tough including turning back SNC on 4th and one at the one.  Turnovers made a big difference in this game with SNC fumbling on the Beloit 12, losing a scoring opportunity, and on their own 19 resulting in a Beloit TD.  SNC needed a blocked punt recovered for a TD and a last second hail mary for a TD at the half to pull this one out.
     SNC is a young team with a good but inexperienced QB.  The defense is under their 3rd coordinator since last season and only had four days to get aquainted with the new coach's system before the Beloit game.

Say Mr. Coleman, was it an oversight or just more shunning of respect for the talent in the MWC that got us left out of the Around the West article?  The conference title could be on the line this weekend that should at least be something worthy of mentioning...

Neither. It's the fact that the MWC isn't part of ATR-West. Read the ATR front page for the breakdown.

seriously, Knights, wtf is going on? Anyone with any information or some sort of a report from DePere?  A VERY ugly L in week 1 and a very shakey W in week 2 over a team picked in the bottom half of the league is not a good way to get up for the team picked to give you the biggest run for the title this year...6 in a row, get things cleaned up and get it done or you will need a miracle to make it 7.  Two losses will not get you in the playoffs either...

Old Fighting Scot

Sorry Pat, My bad, we should be in the Around the Midwest then?

Old Fighting Scot - I just got done reading the ATR-Midwest column and there is a small mention of the MWC in there; Monmouth @ St. Norbert is listed as one of the games to watch for this weekend.

Yep. Every columnist does it a little differently.

I read it, it was a fair assessment, hopefully we can remove some of the doubt of what we have done so far this season, and hopefully prove last year was a fluke.  Go Scots, Ill be cheering from Cali!!

So yeah I read the ATR-Midwest and it seems that the columnist has some doubts of Monmouth's offense.  From my personal observation it seems that they are on fire. Norbert has really struggled with both of their games.  Offense not as dominate as it has been in past years and defense isn't either.  Meehan hasn't really shown his Pre-Season All-American abilities yet. Will he this week?

What will be the deciding factor of who wins the game this week between these two teams?
Norbert Fans you have been quite lately, what do you have to say about the glowing question?  Seems like Scots fans are running the board now.  What do you think Monmouth fans about the glowing question?

turnovers. from the looks of things, snc's offense has been very generous with the ball so far this year...if they clean that up, things should go a lot better the rest of the season...
