Voted for Fisher by 10+

That's not a knock on Rowan- I know they have a great squad. You can throw all of this experience talk out the window in the 3rd round of the playoffs in my opinon. Fisher has a lot of players who went in 2004, and they've had real big games this year already w/ a lot on the line (Alfred - got down early & won ... Springfield in 2nd round, same thing)

I think that Fisher will be able to run the ball very well because they will be able to control the LOS. I think we're going to see the Robinson of old in this one - Look for Fisher to give him 30+ this game...

The safeties like to come up and create a 3-5 look, but I feel Kramer will keep them honest - and make them pay if they squeeze the box too much.

I also like Fisher's Defense against this Rowan offense, and I don't see Rowan putting up too many points. This is probably my biggest reason for the pick - Fisher will put up points, even if it's only 21-28 points against this tough Rowan defense... I don't think Rowan can put up that many on Fisher's D.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to a great game this Saturday!

Well said, although I think that any experience gained by SJF in the 04 Del Val game could easily (and unfortunately) be negated by a coaching blunder....let's say: passing on 3rd and 7 from your own 30 yd line with the lead when the opponent has no time outs left and a decent punt presents a 70 yd drive with under a minute to go and no timeouts....by the way, I understand that a similar situation occurred in the Norwich game that year as well.

Here's hoping the situation doesnt even present itself this weekend...I started to get worried against SC last week as it appeared SJF may be heading down that road again late in the game...

A) that game was tied at 20 when the pick was thrown.

B) The Norwich game, SJF attempted a pass that was picked off at the NU 20yd line, NU had 80yards to go after the pick. NU actually got 79yds but were still credited with the TD.

Apparently they cant throw the ball worth beans, so if they dont have Garcon back (heard he may have a concussion on the OAC board) It will be close to the end.

Hadn't heard about Garcon -- I know Jorris, the passing quarterback of the two, did not play in the second half but that could've been performance related.

Don't fool yourself into thinking Mount Union can't throw the ball.

I'm sure they're extremely well balanced upstate. It'll be tough to stop them... I don't think they'll be able to put up the rushing numbers they are accustomed to however.

This is ALMOST tantamount to saying "They've never seen a Rushing Defense like St. John Fisher's before!"

question how similar is the MUC offense to SC's offense...I don''t mean talent I mean are they the same type

I'm not completely sure but they are much more pass oriented than SC for sure, just today they really went with the bread and butter with Kmic.  In no way is this a triple option offense. 

As far as I thought, MUC can have a very potent passing offense as well. 

[AUPepBand]

Kmic is a beast. Now that he's accustomed to wearing purple, AUPepBand thinks he'd have a promising and lucrative career in ceramic engineering....

[fan of d3]

I think MUC will win......




get it?

[Boxer7806]

MUC is the class of the nation...i think they will win handily...but not as easily as they have been accustomed to the past few weeks
