ATN Podcast: Too soon to panic

St. John's
St. John’s got routed at home in Week 2, but it’s not over for the Johnnies yet.

That was a butt-kicking that St. John’s got, at home, on Saturday when UW-Eau Claire came in and beat the Johnnies 47-19. But although that loss is certainly demoralizing, as was Coe’s at Olivet Nazarene and even Wesley’s at Kean, this week isn’t the end of anyone’s season. Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan talk through what’s left in front of them and what teams with an early loss have cost themselves in this week’s Around the Nation Podcast.

Plus, many other teams and games are touched on — see the tags at the bottom for an idea of who is discussed.

Game day: Long road trips

The handful of non-NESCAC teams that haven’t played yet take the field this weekend, including Mary Hardin-Baylor, Linfield, Thomas More, Cal Lutheran and Alfred. A lot of those games involve significant trips, as well as trips by Ithaca, Hamline, Illinois Wesleyan.

Plus, on Friday night, SUNY-Maritime took it to an NJAC team, Catholic had a second consecutive double-digit fourth-quarter comeback and Worcester State continued crosstown rival WPI’s slow slide.
