Not all Saturdays are created equal and this one clearly has more interesting games than most.
No.1 Mount Union and No. 4 Capital meet each other in a familiar situation with Mount Union as the favorite and Capital hoping to upset the Purple Powerhouse. These teams have had a handful of meetings with these same national rankings and none of the outcomes favor the Crusaders.
No. 17 Salisbury takes the field without several members of its starting defense against St. John Fisher who is without any margin for error if it has any chance at an at-large bid.
Elsewhere the only undefeated teams in the NJAC (Cortland-Montclair), SCIAC (Occidental-Redlands) and MIAC (Augsburg and Carleton) meet. No. 15 Case Western faces its toughest test in Wooster. Ditto for Wheaton (Ill.) against Augustana and Wabash against Wash U. Lycoming ‘s resurgent offense meets Albright, which struggled to score against FDU-Florham last week while Del Val hosts Leb Val.
Plenty to talk about, plenty to follow. Have at it and enjoy a great day of football.
I see Salisbury 58-52 … no idea if that’s a final, pre-PAT attempt or what.
salisbury scores rsh fails 58-52 salisbury
wesley D has stopped iona again
sjf fumbles but recovers
Says Fisher ball, Fisher fumbled in OT … but recovered its own and lives to play again. I think.
Antwan Anderson scores on a 25 yard scamper; UWW takes a 45 – 24 lead over UW-River Falls with 5:57 in 4th quarter.
wesley driving again… big chunks of yrds Jackson getting the load to the 15
I’ve now been officially blamed for Cortland State having a game that looks like its bound for OT. Apparently they remember the last time I was at a Red Dragons game, a 14-7 OT loss to Rowan that eventually kept that 9-1 team out of the playoffs.
Big completion across midfield for Cortland though, and they’re driving inside 2 minutes.
Another big completion for Cortland, 30 yards to the 8 … looked like they caught the beast MLB Hunt in zone coverage against their top WR Hejnos. (top guy today anyway)
mc sweeney avoiding rush after rush
58-52 appears to be final. Salisbury.
sjf qb sacked end of game ?????????? wait
Cortland scores on a 8-yard Giuliano on the first play after the timeout … speculation in the box is that they let him score rather than letting Cortland kill clock and kick the GW FG.
Then Montclair blocks the PAT. 23-17 with 1:38 left.
salisbury wins!!!
wow
Augsburg/Carleton 28-all at the half.
DePauw leads B-SC 28-21 in the 4th. Hi Ron!
Matt Cook grinds out 234 yards and four touchdowns including two in the fourth quarter. Del Val rallies for the final 13 points to win.
Del Val 26 – Final
Leb Val 14
Meanwhile Lyco all over Albright, 20-0.
Good news, MAC. Lyco’s back. 🙂
wesley scores 96 yrd drive 23-12
3rd-and-8 near midfield for Montclair, loss of 11 on the sack brings up a desperation 4th-and-19 for the Red Hawks.
wesley intercepts in end zone run back to the 50 . 5 mins to go
Wow. Boysen running forward, knows he’s close to LOS so chucks it … ends up being a gain of 24.
29 seconds left. Actually resetting it to 30.
MSU spikes on 1st down on the 38. They still have a chance here.
This kid is the MSU QB going forward. Scrambles to buy time for a gain of 12.
Even if they don’t pull this out … it’s going to come down to 1 play … Montclair has a clutch guy.
Next pass inc. … 0:16 left on the 26. Need a TD here, but PAT wins it.
Cortland keeps bringing pressure to make Boysen get rid of it.
0 timeouts for MSU, no middle of the field here with 12 seconds left. Well they went over the middle and it was incomplete anyway.
One shot for all the marbles. 🙂
If I don’t post again, Montclair didn’t get it.
wesley first and 10 inside 30… 2.35 left
have to go..
UWW’s Jake Anderson, back from injury, takes his first carry of the year 50 yards and a TD with :50 left in 4th.
FINAL – UWW 52 UW-River Falls 24
Wesley won, 23-12
Ithaca played real bad got banged up again 3 TO’s some how they won..41 to 6…gotta get healthy..stop the ???? I’m not sure..maybe they just have to start starting something…like basics..love ya bombers but lets get it together and keep it there..see ya on TV next Sat.
Occidental just went up two scores on Redlands in the fourth quarter. Sounds like Redlands is struggling a little on offense with Dan Selway injured.
