FB: CCIW in-game updates

[USee]

This is the Wheaton offense I've been expecting all year.  Great to see.

Would love to look at the film to see what adjustments Wheaton coaches made on defense in 2nd half.  Completely different game.  Seems like they came with more pressure & stunts in 2nd half to get freshman QB unsettled?

Freshmen QB in the CCIW...not sure why they wouldn't have come with pressure from the beginning.

Wheaton's defense rarely blitzes. The difference was the Dline dominated the second half and IWU dominated the first half.

I've said it before that no staff makes better halftime adjustments than Wheaton.

NCC fumbled the opening kickoff that somehow turned into a TD for NP. NCC marches down and ties the game at 7.  Not an ideal start for the Cardinals.

[USee]

Carthage has really hurt themselves offensively today. 2x they were inside the 15 of IWU and had bad snaps and/or penalties that took them out of field goal range. Another time they lost yards in the redzone and missed a FG.

IWU on the move inside the Carthage red zone

[USee]

no points for the Titans as the IWU RT and RG get beat on a simple T/E twist on 4th down and get sacked to turn it over on downs.

4th and 2 for the Titans w a minute left w ball at the Redmen 26. Ball game on this play

[USee]

IWU fakes a run to MSG, Bauer on the bootleg throws it too far and a late flag....pass interference against Carthage. Looked like a really bad call.

IWU now inside the 5 with 55 seconds left.
