I think he is saying beat who they are suppose to beat and surprise some of the better occ teams. Anyone know of any of the ecfc teams have any pre season scrimmages and who they are against?

Dlip saw Allen play last year. He is a good player and will help Mt. Ida for sure.

Question wrt the size of squads caught my interest.  It had been a topic discussion over the years in the NESCAC...a conference that only has a 8 game season.  The size limit in the ""CAC" is set by the school presidents at 75.  It is an attempt to even the playing field so to speak....with some schools having squads of 90 plus vice squads of less than 60 at other schools.  Even today, the squad sizes vary.

I personally think that Norwich is 1 to 2 spots to high. I think Gallaudet is better and castleton will give them a run for there money.

I think that since the votes were spread around only shows that the ECFC most likely is going to be a toss-up. You may be right, Norwich could possibly be 1 or 2 spots to high, and the same can be said for the other teams. After reading Kickoff (which if you haven't' brought, you should) a little more thoroughly, I don't agree with Mount Ida, Castleton, and Norwich's prediction in Kickoff, but Gallaudet does look posed with the number of returners on offense and the option can be troublesome to some teams, they may even go undefeated. However, I think I am going to go with Mount Ida now, depending on how the first couple weeks, that may change.

Ya I think that mt. Ida and castleton definitely have a chance to have better records than they said in kick off. Mt. Ida on paper with who they have returning should at least be the second best team in the division in my opinion. But that why they play the games. Can't wait for the season to start!

Any one know if Gallaudet, Norwich or Ida have had or have any scrimmages coming up?

Any picks for this up and coming week of ecfc football?

ECFC starts off 2-0 with two wins coming over the new Mascac.

Mount Ida beats UMD 21-20...Mount Ida has a very good defense only  gave up 12 points blocked three kicks. The Safety Wilkins had two picks/blocked punt and forced fumble. Their Dline is very good against the run. The offense struggled in the first half and lost a fumble for a td and a safety with snap over QB head.but put together some scoring drives . The last three years this game has been decided by 4 points or less in each game. Mount Ida is breaking in a new offensive line and QB and will get better as weeks progress. UMD played two QBS The first one had a great scoring first drive led them right down the field but after that did not record a first down I think. Benched him and bought in another kid who also lead one scoring drive and after that did nothing vs the Ida defense. Mount Ida also blocked all their extra points. The kid Texiera on UMD is a beast and a very good LB.

Becker beats Fitchburg State 35-33 with a last second Touchdown. This is a big win for the Becker Program. The Qb Baker had 4 td to 1 pick. Becker went down early in this game and fought back to tie it. It was a seasaw game all day. This is a huge win for Becker to start the season off on a right foot against a state school. Becker really has recruited well and they think they could be the surprise team in the ECFC with the veteran QB and Veteran Defense with Booker leading the way.

Becker play MIT next week and Mount IDa will play Plymouth State.

I will post game summaries from games today.

My predictions

Hartwick over Husson
Castleton st over Plymouth State
Worcester St over Anna Maria
Gall over Shenandoh
Renn over Norwich---I could see Norwich winning this game however.

If Anna Maria and Castleton win their games then ECFC will be 4-0 vs the new MASCAC

skratch29

castletons offense looked really good, new sophomore qb looked terrific, defense just could not stop anything. hopefully they improve in the future because there offense could be something special. a win is a win i guess. norwich played RPI very strong the whole game witch was nice to see.
