Does any one know anything about Wabash and their O?

They average 100yds rushing per game and 316yds per game passing.

They rushed the ball 294 times and attempted a pass 316 times.

When they get in the Red Zone they scored 74% of the time.

They lost their Sr. Quarterback for the year in the first game of the season against Franklin in which he threw for 477yds. It looks like his backup has stepped in and done a good job.

"They lost their Sr. Quarterback for the year in the first game of the season against Franklin in which he threw for 477yds. It looks like his backup has stepped in and done a good job."

Sophomore QB, Matt Hudson, 6'6 230 - #4 in the country in Passing Efficiency (behind Wash & Jeff, Mount, & Rupp) at 176.5 Passer Rating.  On the season - became the starter in game 3 - 149 for 208, 18 TDs, 6 INTs for 2,032 yards.  I would say the strength of the team is the WR crew...athletic, fast, and Hudson does a nice job spreading the ball around.

Wabash SID Brent Harris should post the Weekly Press Release soon with the 2-deep matchups.

Looking for a very good game on Saturday.

Macke, That was a pretty good description of me you put out there   

Adrian Peterson went from killing everyone else in my Fantasy League to just killing me now. Should have known better than take someone who has been "Griffeynized" before he ever stepped on a NFL field. Shame too. He would have had a chance to put up 2,000 this year.

[SaintsFAN]

Yeah, I'd say he's done quite a bit more than "good job". . .

and its good to see Hubie getting interviewed in the ATR for this week.  Though, I disagree with him about "should have shut out Thomas More". . . 

[SaintsFAN]

adam,

if you took "AD" this year and were counting on him, you need to hang up your fantasy whistle.  He was at best scheduled to share carries with Chester the molester.  Please tell me you have two other starting RBs...

Ann Arbor is a whore...

Well it seems Wabash has a qb, who has step in and taking his team to the Play-Off's. The game will come down to who makes the fewest mistakes, and what defense/offense come to play. I have been told that the Mount starts off slow, and catch fire in the second half?? When your in the Play-off's your going to have to step it up. Wabash seem to have a few RB, that they get invloved in the mix, as well, as a handful of WR. I don't know wabash, but it seems from season stats, that they want to establish the run, and then catch you on your heels with the pass, but they give up some yards on defense, so with full strength RB(Loveall, Kevin C, whoever) and a soild effort from the o-line, and a complete effort on defense from the SR, who have been there the last couple of times. MSJ should be ready to go, watch out for the trick plays early. Teams start throwing in new wrinkles to catch you off guard!

Sayer- they are saying Peterson will possibly miss only 1 week, but that was from the trainer though. 

From SaintsFAN lovely discripition of the city that hosts a school that will monkey stomp a certain school named after a hairless nut.  Did anyone catch the HBO show about Michigan & OSU's rivalry?  I got a little choked up at the end when they were talking about Woody & Bo's relationship.

Or as eloquently professed on a Monon shirt last weekend -

"DePauw Chicks and Football - It's What Wabash Does."

that is freaking Hilarious...that is how you should treat a rival

Hasbeen i got it on the Tivo.  i was too freaking tired and passed out at 10:00 last night.

i got a text message the other day from a buddy asking what time it was.  was not for sure why cause i figured he had a clock on his phone but he likes to drink so i figured he needed some help so i shot him a note back saying 4:34 which he replied No Dumbass it's Tuesday Afternoon and Michigan still sucks!!

[wabashcpa]

I would say that our m.o. is to run just enough to keep you honest, but the bread and butter is to spread out the defense with short to mid-range passes, and a couple deep balls to Russell sprinkled in for good measure.  

Defensively, definitely a bend but don't break philosophy, we'll give up yards, but tighten up when needed.  The defense goes as Pynenberg goes.

Special teams - Finley has done a good job punting this year, placekicking has been an issue all year.

If MSJ can keep the chains moving, control the clock, and keep our defense on the field, they will have an excellent opportunity to win.  If we can get our defense off the field and win the field position battle, I like our chances.  A couple of turnovers would be nice as well.

I'm guessing the final score will be within 7 points either way, as I believe the teams to be pretty evenly matched.

Based on my direct observation of Bash when FC played over there, WabashCPA is on the money with Bash does. Franklin was able to put up over 500 yards in a loss.  Near the end of the 4th both teams combined for over a 1000 yards of offense as I recall  Tremendous game except for the the coach going brain dead for a moment and letting QB Huff on the field for an onsite kick.

Pat, how many schools play d3 football?

Good stuff Bash basher 16, also congrats to those players, who were honor with All Conf honors, also special congrats to Rupp and Dillon, and the Defensive Lineman from Rose Hillman, who installs fear in all the coaches, for receiving the highest honors, and getting the respect of all the coaches, who votes for Player of The Year honors, great accomplishment, all the hard work paid off, keep it going in the Play-Off's for those that are competing still. I honestly would give up all my awards for a ring. I have one when I played for my JR. College, but would had been nice to get another! Also congrats to Coach Leonard two years in a row! Also bash basher, it seems that Both Wabash and MSJ are similar in so many ways, both have good running games, and both use the short passes, to keep the Defense guessing. Wabash is giving up more yardage though, should be a great game though. I got the Mount winning by 3 points 17-14. SR should step up this round, they have the experience in the Play-Off's, and should be ready to get that bad taste out of their mouths, from losing 3 years in a row!! Hubbie is running the 50 defense up there, wow~~
