The predictions on this site baffle me for this game... let's analyze the stats---
Lawrence avgs. 21ppg  against Monmouth, St. Norbert's, etc

Lake Forest avgs 14 vs IC, Beloit, SNC

Regardlessof defensive ability... WREN RUNS WILD!!! (LAW-176 ypg rushing, LFC 126 ypg)

The only reason that Lawrence has such a high avg. is because they put up 45 against Grinnell (53 ppg on D), which is the least amount that Grinnell has given up this year.  Lawrence only scored a total of 20 points against Monmouth and St. Norbert.  This won't be that close of a game

What a down year and sloppy ball club that St. Nubs is this year! only 48 but hey a wins a win right? 452 yards to 181! haha speak foolish 14 speak!

Unbelievable...just unreal.  Appears from the game story and box score that the Knights played very well and the Scots played not so well.  Although it pains me, I tip my hat to St. Norbert for their very convincing win in today's game.  Hope MC can put this one behind them and right the ship for next week's game against a resurgent Ripon program.

scottie - Was at the Illinois-Indiana game today...were you around anywhere for that?

Went to my first LU game tonight.  I guess I picked a good one.  The turning point in the game was at the end of the first half:  LFC blocked a punt and had a 1st and goal from the 5.  LU stuffed them twice on the run and then made a great play to intercept in the end zone.  LFC had a chance to go up at the half but went into the locker room tied.

Hopefully, LU can at least get some momentum going this season and carry it forward to next year.

Norbert did in fact play a heck of a football game today.  The defense was all over the place and really confused the young MC qb.  Even though I hated to hear the bell at the end of the game I must say that I have great respect for St. Norbert because they played like a conference champ should play like.  They still have a tough one at Ripon though.....no one is talking about them

[PapaSmurf]

I imagine most of the Scot's fans are in shock after what happened today.  I know I am.  I know they aren't as bad as the score might indicate and I think SNC benefitted from a couple of bad calls.  Those missed calls probably wouldn't have made that much difference anyway.  The Knights were fired up from the start.  I looked over to the east endzone after the game and could sympathize with the Monmouth players, parents and fans remembering how it felt last year.  Good luck the rest of the way.

Hey Mav.  No, I was in Peoria over the weekend and didn't hear about the Illinois game until it was over with.  I must say that I was equally shocked at the outcomes of both games.  I'm not shocked that StN won, but just by the score.  Eight turnovers = Ouch!

Don't get me started on the Fighting Zooksters...

Why Scottie! What a well-deserved cheap shot! Shame on you!

[scottie]

If you had beaten us 2-0, I wouldn't have mentioned it.  But since we've joined you in the "who needs to use your brain when you're a star athlete and have everything a college student could ever want, and more" department, I had to chime in. 

What are these guys thinking??? 

[hjmphelp]

Thinking with the 19 ACT score head, I'd bet...or maybe the little head instead as seems to be the case with most Uof Iowa BBallers.









Ladies beware-Pierre Pierce is outta the slammer as of last Tuesday.

I thought Wren would have a field day against LFC, I was wrong, but a big thank you to the combination of our Defense and the LFC Offense, we were able to get the win..

[fightintitan2006]

What happend to everyone???  Another big game on the schedle for this weekend. A Ripon win sets up a showdown with St. Norbert.

Any predictions for the game. Is Ripon the underdog despite what has happend. Monmouth has handled them pretty easily the past few games. How will Monmouth repond to the whooping they took?

any thoughts

This Weeks Picks

Blue Boys @ Buccaneers> The Blue Boys come rolling into Beloit riding the strong arm of Pete Jennings. while The Bucs are desperately trying make repairs to the thier quickly sinking ship. IC wins big.
Blue Boys 34 - Bucs 7

Vikings @ Prairie Fire> The Fire return home after the Grinnell game madder then a kebbler elf who got demoted down to fudge packer. I see the Fire pulling this one out in a close game.
Fire 21 - Vikings 20

Pioneers @ Foresters> A pair of (1-5) ball clubs come together in a battle for pride. LFC has wone the last four meetings between the two. I see the Foresters D steping up and pulling it out late.
Foresters 17 - Pioneers 13

GAME OF THE WEEK
Red Hawks @ Fighting Scots> This shapes up to be a great matchup, The Scots were embarrased last week at the hands of the Nubs, and Ripon has quietly crept back into respectability. The Game is in Scotland and looks to be cool, But I smell an upset. no wait that smell is the LFC offence. Scots win
Scots 34 - Red Hawks 27

Pioneers @ Green Knights> The wheels have officaly fallen of the Pioneer wagons. Don't look for a Nub let down after thier big win. Knights roll.
Knights 56 - Pioneers 14
