The Monmouth faithful felt the same way last year about Trine.

True, but Carswell has proven to be human. Wartburg held him to 25 yards on 23 carries in the playoffs last year. I'm not sure how our rush defense as a whole stacks up to last year's Wartburg team, but he isn't matchup proof. If Carswell is contained, we win the game.

Well, you win provided the Norby D puts up some points...

SNC D handling the Trine rushing attack, up 14-7 at the half. Trine only scored on a pick 6.

SNC running away with this one, 24-7 in the 3rd....yikes

TheGreenKnight920

SNC Defense pitches a shutout in Angola, forcing 6 turnovers...SNC 31 - 7.....Whitewater is next and I know our history against them isn't great but with this defense....you never know.

Color me impressed. A great job by the defense!

IIRC, second football playoff win for SNC and fourth for the conference.

SNC, of all teams, should appreciate the value of a pick 6.   ;)  Congrats on making it to Round 2!
HEY PAL, DON'T BLOCK THE SHOT!

WW, Break out that crystal ball again and give me next weeks power ball numbers!!!!!

Hopefully a competent showing next Saturday can at least help the MWC garner a little more respect nationally

A good showing against Whitewater would be awesome but the only respect will be for the top of the conference. Way too ugly at the bottom for national respect.

And I support one of those uglies!

Norby would have a puncher's chance if the air game was any kind of threat. But I just don't see any part of this matchup favoring them. Even if D is lights out, they'd basically need to pitch a shutout, not to mention score a td or two. I don't think so.

Even if it is the end of the road for Norby, a playoff win is huge, not only for them but the MWC.

I think it CAN be a threat, we just never use it. We have an All-American WR who just doesn't touch the ball because that's not how our offense operates. I guess we will find out if we can pass, assuming we are probably going to be behind at some point, which we really haven't been all season. The air game might surprise you.

Take this for what it's worth. WW said last week Eureka would win 6-3. So St. Norbert fans should feel comfort that WW is picking against you guys.

Local news is awful about covering college teams up here, but we finally hear a peep!

Does that indoor practice facility belong to SNC?  If so, wow.
