[70_dc_alum]

hasbeen i have a conference in San Diego starting on Sunday 10/24.  if i come into town on Sat the 23rd can you roll to San Diego and we can have a good ol time?

my flight gets in at 7:14pm on Saturday if you want to roll down, if not i got plenty of work things going on too

Jackets Backer, I think they should probably focus on Hanover this week before worrying about Franklin.

That was my point. They need to start gaining some momentum and it starts this week with Hanover. I didn't mean to look ahead to Franklin because DC will have its hands full with Hanover.

I'm liking the sound of that!

my apologies to DC...i was thinking that they were going to get beat up by Hanover but a 2TD lead late in the 4th quarter.  Congrats this is a good win to get momentum with a tough one in Franklin next week.

bluffton looks like a youth football team out there!

Agree on the momentum shift but certainly question the need to apologize    Last week was "Mr. Hyde" at QB, and this week was "Dr. Jekyll" as his running dissected the Panther "D."  Not much else in the offensive stat sheet that wasn't, well, mediocre.  Will be interesting to see what chapter is written against the Griz in Johnson County.

Thomas More's freshman RB scored 4 more TD's today on the ground and has 9 through two games.  I think I read somewhere that he had an unreal number of TD's in Highschool.  TMC beats Geneva 36-20 in Beaver Falls.

Showdown with W&J set for next week at Bank of Kentucky Stadium.

I will say this much about the conference this year - it is wide open. It seems there is a top tier consisting of Franklin and MSJ and then there is everyone else. I would be very surprised if any team makes it out unscathed, it just seems like that kind of year. Although I wasn't sold on Rose after that first game v. DPU - I think they are the surprise team in this one.

i dont know if i would go Mr Hyde, he only had about 115 yds passing.  he was just a got RB against a bad run D.  they are going to need to run the ball against Franklin but also will need well north of 200Yds passing with a lot of points on the board to have a chance with the Griz.  Franklin is a damn good team for this HCAC and you wont win being 1 dimensional.

[dc_has_been]

Since I didn't watch the game I'm guessing Powell's throws are short yardage throws considering he was averaging 6.7 yards a completion and the longest gain for the game was 14 yards?  I'm fine with that, but then the receivers are going to need to step up and make some plays and get some YAC if that's the case.

[dc_has_been]

Read something that was funny!  The last time Ohio State lost to another Ohio team was in 1921 and it was against Oberlin.

[GRIZ_BACKER]

No chatter on here about the MSJ and Anderson game last week.  Box score shows five picks for the MSJ QB and a last minute drive to win.  Was a little shocked to see that.  Isn't MSJ the favorite for the HCAC?

[maripp2002]

I wouldn't say "favorite," as I stated earlier I think this conference is wide open. IMHO no one is running the table. Franklin already has the loss to Carthage, and they might run the table, but there is too much inconsistency early on to get a read on the rest of the conference. Forget HCAC- this year it is the Jekyll and Hyde league, which team comes to play each Saturday will go a long way toward determining who gets the playoff bid this year.

[GRIZ_BACKER]

I think that Franklin has it more dialed in than that.  Next two weeks will tell.  Defiance had a nice win and should have some confidence this Saturday.  Not sure what make of MSJ.  Nothing impressive so far but they will be jacked up on 10/2.  I expect a close battle.
