FB: Midwest Conference

[fulbakdad]

Crazy game in Lake Forest.  Lake Forest was down 28-14 at the end of the half.  Carlton dominated them on both sides of the ball.  Then LFC comes out and takes a 2 TD lead with 11 minutes left in the game.  Carlton ends up scoring twice in that time, but extra point was blocked.  The 2 point conversion with no time left the receiver caught the ball out of bounds.  But I have to say, they were aided by some shaky calls by the refs.  On one, a LFC linebacker hit the QB who was attempting to throw a long pass, he was hit as he threw and the ball wabbled about 10 yards.  Ref called roughing the QB....
Anyways, 2-0.....LFC 48 Carlton 46

Lawrence hangs on to beat Finlandia. LaCrosse crushed Ripon.

Benedictine beat SNC 29-7.

Actually could have been worse but SNC dsefense did a good job keeping the Knights in the game.

SNC's starting QB got hurt in the first quarter. Backup eventually did OK but overall the offense could not consistently do anything. BU was a better team but it would have nice to see how it would have been with the starter in

BU had a nice goal line stand when SNC could have made it 22-15. SNC had some momentum until that point.

On to conference play.

When was the last time SNC and the Good Guys ever combined for a 1-3 start?  No undefeated regular season on the line for this year's conference championship game, I guess.

hmmmm.  I don't think I'd be identifying the region champs at this point Scottie. 

[Pat Coleman]

hmmmm.  I don't think I'd be identifying the region champs at this point Scottie.

Region champ is probably UW-Oshkosh or someone from the MIAC, anyway.

[fulbakdad]

You are correct Pat.  And when someone scores 3 rushing TD's and 1 receiving, they've scored 4 TD's, not 3.....

"Christian Zaytoun connected with Dane Birkeland for a 30-yard touchdown as time expired, but Carleton could not convert the ensuing two-point attempt and the Knights fell 48-46 at Lake Forest. Carleton had trailed 48-34 with 3:51 remaining but scored with 1:17 left, then got a defensive stop and went 78 yards in just 27.3 seconds before coming up short. Joey Valdivia had 224 yards and three TDs to lead the Foresters."

Nice left/right combo, F-Dad!

Valdivia scores his 4th td to get LFC up again.

No pass defense, which makes everything else hard to do. Front 7 pushing but quick outs,drags, and pop passes give no help/ ugly win.

Why are the 2 stud DL guys from last year #2 & #7 not playing the last 2 games?

[fulbakdad]

Not league games.  If they are dinged up at all, they'll sit till the first game.

I'm guessing you're referencing something specific that I should understand, but I totally don't get it, sorry.

[fulbakdad]

I like it that way...

Alright. Well, I can't fix whatever issue there might be if you don't tell me what it is.
