FB: Midwest Conference

[MWCfan787]

34-20 Monmouth up

Monmouth comes out in the 3rd blazin

[The Roop]

BC 38 KC 0 I guess nobody is quitting now.

2 red zone turnovers isn't going to cut it next week guys.

[ICLBAlum08]

any scores from the Ripon/IC game?

[MWCfan787]

Monmouth 41 Carroll 20

MC Defense steps it up in the 2nd half
Tanney 6 td passes

[MWCfan787]

Norbie's website is reporting a 62-0 win over LFC, talk about a statement game

That'll be one looong drive south for the Forresters

[MWCfan787]

looks like Ripon 45 IC 20

Grinnell 32 Lawrence 16

What an ugly, ugly game from LU's perspective.  I really thought that the LU program was on the upswing, but games like this are disappointing.

[The Roop]

Word has it that Grinnell had a good recruiting class. I'll buy you a burger at the Nickel when Beloit comes to town if it makes you feel better. And even if it doesn't.

[ICLBAlum08]

nobody believed me when i made the grinnell pick, i told u guys it would be a barn burner!!!

[SNCOLDAD]

ICLB, Yep. You picked it. I really thought that Lawrence would play a better game. 

What I don't understand is what happened to Lake Forest???
I was at the game and I still do not believe it. And they beat IC last week.

There are a lot of things that can be said for that game. But I have to compliment the defense. They put together a tremendous statement. -12 yards rushing!  I think the longest play from scrimmage was an 11 yard run. Might have been a pass late in game that was longer.

Well I guess SNC took care of LFC's running attack that I praised when it propelled them in a win against IC the previous week.  What a lopsided win in a game I thought would have been closer.  Watch out for SNC vs Monmouth again... only 2 more weeks til the showdown.  As for CU vs MC, really tight game - 20-20 at half, but a muffed punt recovered inside Carroll's five led to a quick TD followed on the next possession by a pick returned to Carroll's 15 leading to another quick score.  Within the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half the game was out of reach and Carroll's valient first half effort was once again thwarted by the Scots.  Tanney's the real deal!  Any word on Ripon's QB?  He's a great player and they'll need him this weekend for Homecoming weekend at Carroll.  None of the other games really interest me this weekend.  I have a hard time seeing upsets, but this year already seems a little unpredictable so ya never know.

[ICLBAlum08]

what happened to ripon's QB? didn't hear anything abou it?

[SNCOLDAD]

piopride, I too was stunned at the SNC / LF game. First off I did not expect the defense to be that strong against the run that LF displayed earlier. I do not think anyone saw this coming, except some on the defense itself.
Thanks for the explanation of the Mon. CU game. I saw in the box scores and figured that turnovers played a huge part.

You are not going to call an upset at Knox? You're right though, very interesting year.

Predictions for this Saturday:

IC over Lawrence by 14...still puzzled by LU's 18-16 lead over SNC
Ripon over CARROLL by 9...Ripon rushing game prevails, Game of the Week no doubt
Monmouth over GRINNELL by 41...I like GC's offense, but it's nowhere near enough
Norbert over KNOX by 49...KC seems to have proved themselves the worst so far
LAKE FOREST over Beloit by 11...I still like LFC offensively, they really need this one at home

DePere, WI Minahan Stadium Saturday October 11th 1 PM....BE THERE

[SNCOLDAD]

MWCfan, Your last statement is SO TRUE!
De Pere on the 11th. I will be there God willing.

I have no doubt that there will be a few fly overs  to entertain the fans.

And what looks to be ONE HECK OF A GAME!
