LL in game updates

[BomberJeff]

Hobart starting on their own 5 after the kickoff returner trips.  Hobart moves a bit down the field... and gets a massive pass interference call to keep their drive alive.  From 40 seconds left, they've gotten to the IC 37 with 7 seconds remaining.  They go for a quick pass with nothing downfield, gets 3 yards and one final play.  Final roll of the dice hail mary... BATTED DOWN IN THE END ZONE.  The Bombers hold on at home for the massive in-conference win.  Ithaca is now 15-0 at home against Hobart all time.

FINAL- Hobart 21 Ithaca 24.

UNION wins 28-27. Morrisville is stopped in their final 2 minute drive thanks to a timely sack by DE Vincent DiCaterino.

OOGA DAMN BOOGA!! WHAT A GAME!

[stlawus]

Absolutely awful, embarrassing loss for SLU at WNE.  Choked away a 21-7 lead in the 4th and lose in OT.  Defense non existent the last part of the game.  What an embarrassing display of football.  At least it's out of conference, but good lord, Puck needs to get these guys in gear.  No excuse to blow a game like that coming off a bye.

Nabi to Gladney. We're going to hear that a lot over the next three years. Gladney staking a claim to be  best WR in LL

[Bombers798891]

Remember: This game was won by Dan Swanstrom having all three timeouts late in the 4th. Teams in close games who burn timeouts to avoid delay of games are making a mistake. The ability to get a 3-and-out and lose only 20 seconds is a game changer

[Bartman]

Congratulations to Ithaca's whole team ...well played....I think Ithaca's new coach and his Nabi to Gladney passing combination have made a big splash on the LL scene. Not that it was a perfect game by Ithaca or Hobart(refs made some calls/non-calls that both teams can complain about) but Hobart did not get into full gear as Sweeney struggled early despite fairly decent protection.... I wasn't at the game, so I can only assume the pass defense of IC was effective..... Hobart's Frosh Dakota Harvey plays a great game but instead of letting final KO go out of bounds he catches it and falls out of bounds, Hobart starts on the 5 instead of the 40 with 40 seconds left.... ouch. Sweeney brings them back up the field for final Hail Mary, but no miracle this time(I think we had our share last year).
This makes Ithaca the clear front runner for the LL title and the automatic NCAA bid. Hobart can hope for two IC losses against RPI, SLU or Union  and win out in the LL, but based on today I do not see that happening( 3 way tie possibility may be another way to the title). The title is also wide open for RPI and an improving Union squad. Unless Bart gets help, it looks like 2015 again for Hobart and a chance to play the #2 team from the E8...I'm sure the team will play their hearts out against RPI next week, but RPI also looks pretty good...this Hobart team is good but no where near the 2012-2014, or even the team I saw against Mount Union last year .......either that or Brockport and Ithaca are REALLY good. GOBART ...still time to get better and finish strong!

[Olorin]

RPI down 6-0 but gets the ball at the half. Hobart had the ball the majority of the first half. Should be an interesting second half.

Has the SLU/Union game kicked off? Not paying $8 to watch, the radio feed requires flash (c'mon, it's 2017), and the live stats haven't been updated at all.

[stlawus]

14-6 Union, I'm listening on the radio.  Started strong but have been awful since.  Defense giving up big plays like they always do, special teams have been garbage and the offensive line can't block anything as usual.

[stlawus]

We might need a QB change.  Richardson has been absolutely awful this year.  Puckhaber needs to get this defense in gear.  They are giving up multiple 50 yard plays every game, this has to stop.

[stlawus]

We do get a QB change but this time the wide receivers fumble.  This SLU team is throwing away all of the progress made in the program the last 4 years.  Absolutely awful from this team.

[unionpalooza]

Union up 20-6 at the half in what looks to be a pretty hard hitting game out there. SLU came out flying on their first possession, going 87 yards for a quick TD, but it's been all Union since.  Turnovers have been the main story. Richardson has been out since talking a hard sack, though he is also came for a failed 4th and 1, so I can't tell if he's hurt, or just benched. 

[Bombers798891]

Union is playing really well. Great to see that the program has rebounded and is on the upswing. Bombers and Bart rolling

[stlawus]

He's better off being benched.  He's made some absolutely horrible decisions this year and has been generally bad.  Ruthman is going to be the starter next year anyways.  He probably would have been recruited by bigger schools if it wasn't for his size, so I welcome the QB change.
