SNC beat LU 62-0 tonight in Appleton.

LU turned it over inside their own 15 twice on kicks/punts. SNC had two long TD plays. And LU just couldn't get anything going offensively for most of the game.

This is the most diplomatic description of a complete butt kicking I may have ever read. LU's high point was a blocked PAT.

Funny...

Yeah, LU had as many first downs by passing (3) as they did by SNC penalties. And, yeah, the play clock SNC was using didn't work for most of the second quarter... but no need to dwell on those things...

LU has a larger squad than in recent years, which is good. They did OK running the ball. But no big plays - and SNC had multiple. Hard to say it wasn't as lopsided as the score, but the 70-7 game a few years (or whatever that final was) seemed a lot worse than this...

Please allow me, then, to add my congratulations to Grinnell on a hard fought game.  I wasn't at the game to see their highlights, but I'm sure there were plenty.

Ripon scored first. SNC scored the next 48.

Final
SNC 48
Ripon 7

Crazy ending in Lake Forest yesterday.  Lake Forest lead most of the game.  Then Lawrence came back and scored the game winning TD with less than a minute left.  Lake Forest started the last 40 seconds with the ball on their own 30.  They went 70 yards in 3 plays and Valdivia ran it in for the game winning TD.

I could have gone to the IC game yesterday, but instead went to a more local high school game.  Glad I did!  Yikes...

Way to hang on and get the W against.....Lawrence.  Sounds like you'll be holding on for dear life against Knox and Grinnell to close out the season. 

[judgetrainer]

Scottie, I think Lawrence is better this year than we are used to seeing. They are not "good" yet, I grant that. I just think they are better than we have seen the last ten years or so. I'm interested to see them finish the season.

Scottie,

When my son got to Lake Forest in 2011, his first year they had 61 players show up at camp and went 3-7.  3-7 was better than the 3 prior years!.  The next three years they went 8-2, 8-2, 4-6.  Roster in the 100 area.  Respectable considering their history.  Another 4-6 year last year and now back up to 6-2 so far this year.  So would I expect a couple close games here and there? Yup.  Do I think they are on the right track?  Yup.  Sophomore QB starting to play with more confidence, young players getting reps on Defense.  Recruiting much better than past. 

Guess we'll just see how they do in the future....

Valdivia leaving after this year will obviously hurt a lot.  Mac is still trying to figure out how to replace Bialostok.

Valdivia may not leave after this year.  Sounds like he has one more year of eligibility left.

SNC has two blocked punts and two interceptions in the first quarter. 21-0 green knights over blue boys

Lake Forest up 27-3 just a couple into the second.  Valdivia already has 110 yards and 4 touchdowns.
