Aurora is a top 10 football team! We are now just one win from being in the national semi-final!

Wartburg's defense is incredible, but they lost their starting QB to an ankle injury late vs St John's. And honestly, they just held on to that game in spite of how poor their backup Q looked. If their starter can't go this Saturday, Wartburg's defense is going to have to overwhelm AU's potent offense and they'll have to be able to run the ball effectively against our strong front 7.

This season is not only great for this 2022 AU roster and all the alumni that came before, but for all NACC teams going forward. Now maybe our AQs won't be paired with the Wisconsin Whitewaters and St John's every first round. Maybe the playoff committee will give us some east coast teams to play in the years to come  ;D

I'm excited to see AU come out fired up this Saturday vs a nationally renowned defense. If Chretin and our offensive line can control the line of scrimmage like they did today at Alma, I'll feel really good about our chances.

This will be the best defense AU has faced all year. As hot as AU's offense is, Wartburg's defense is equally hot.

Will be a fantastic matchup.

Hello from the ARC, Central fan here, as much as I normally take joy in seeing Wartburg lose, I want them to win for the same reason. Central and Wartburg are tired of playing WIAC teams the first round every time we get in the playoffs too. The "joy" of geography right? Good luck to both teams on Saturday. At least one of the two will move on to the semifinals and hopefully get some much deserved credit/recognition for their conference. Congratulations on knocking out Whitewater.

To be fair, this happened to Central three times in the 20-plus years of the five-round playoff.
This has happened to Wartburg two times in the 20-plus years of the five-round playoff.

Absolutely! I think it will be an entertaining game between 2 teams from ascending conferences. It's good for the game, too. Get some new blood in the national conversation.

There's the problem, I've been around longer than that, so it seems more often because you missed some.  ;D

Before this, it was four rounds and the West had to play West teams the first two rounds, so ... not really comparable.

Ugh. Bad pick-6 thrown by Aurora there. After trailing 10-0 Wartburg has come back to take a 21-10 lead in the 2nd.

Schipper Strong

Congratulations to Aurora on a great season. You have an excellent team, but you caught Wartburg on a day they played on another level. Wartburg has a really good team this year, but I have never seen them play like they did today. Don't let today's loss take away from all you accomplished this year.

Was a tremendous year! We just ran into an absolute Buzzsaw. Your QB's guts in playing on that leg was very indicative of the team culture at Wartburg. Their offensive line, RB and entire defense (Especially that Rochford kid-hope I spelled his name right!) are elite. So proud of our guys for battling and for the best season in school and conference history! Let's get to the offseason and keep building!
