Saxton was a better QB at start of last year (his freshman year) than Adams is today (a senior).

Saxton wouldn't have been the starter at W&J at the beginning of last year, but I'm not sure he wouldn't have been at the end....

Sure, academics play a part, major concentration, etc....and that's not a knock on W&J at all.  It's not like that's some junior college or military prep school....

In the inimitable words of John Luckhardt, :"If I'm laying on the operating table, I'd much rather see a President looking over me than ........."

Per CWRU's website Saxton's major is biochemistry

Some one-sided highlights from the CWRU- W&J game.

Fantastic to see some of the young CWRU guys starting to mature and emerge.

When the outcome was still in question, the highlights were one-sided.
That's what made the outcome no longer in question....

It was nice to see Wojkowski get his first TD.  He has some serious speed and I hope they're able to get him the ball in space more as the season goes on.  I was also impressed with how he held his block downfield on the TD pass to Robaina.

He certainly has some wheels...and happy he is only a freshman.  His "Hudl profile" lists him at a 4.5 speed: https://wwe.hudl.com/profile/5485518/Michael-Wojkowski

And now a shout out to the defense side off the ball:

CLEVELAND — Two Case Western Reserve University Spartans players are breaking through offensive lines and breaking through their division by leading the nation in sacks among Division III schools.

Defensive end Cameron Brown and outside linebacker Joshua Smith are leading all 247 DIII football teams in sacks per game.

Serious props to St Vincent's game plan and OL.  Bearcats rushed for 220 yds against a Spartan D that was averaging only 53.2 yds given up per game. And they help the sack attack to zero sacks.  Final 34-26 CWRU

Bethany beats CMU, 23-19.

This means Case can lose 1 of their last 4 games and still be conference champions.

First I'm hearing of this, but sad to report the great Case Western Reserve coach from the mid-1980s, Jim Chapman, has passed away.

Chapman led the Spartans with an impressive 36-7-1 (0.830) record over five seasons in the mid-1980's, including the undefeated 9-0 season of 1984 (where ironically they weren't invited into the 8 team playoff, even though the defeated W & J during the regular season who was let in!)  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Case_Western_Reserve_Spartans_football_team

Here's some info on his passing:

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had a nice feature of CWRU QB Drew Saxton:

Former South Fayette QB Drew Saxton hasn't missed a step at Case Western Reserve

Husker Four four

While Saxton has enjoyed success at CWRU from the get go I still feel like he would of had to of served as a back up for Adams the last two seasons. Jake is vastly unrated.

Jake's "ratings" for 2017-2018-2019
2017  144.73 27 TD, 14 INT
2018  155.68 33 TD, 10 INT
2019  143.86 16 TD, 7 INT

Saxton's "ratings" for 2018-2019
2018 161.01 34 TD, 9 INT
2019 151.31 16 TD, 4 INT

Saxton was a better QB in his first collegiate start than Adams is now.
Adams has been a servicable QB when he's had the best receivers in the PAC, and an upper level O-line.
He has neither of those right now.
If you take an objective look at the last 10 W&J QB regulars, Adams would rank in the bottom half of that group for his career.
And this year's Adams would likely be 10th in that group.

This conference's national "standing" should be plummeting fast....

Westminster gives away a game two weeks ago against Grove City.
CMU lost to BETHANY a week ago.
CWRU has to hold on to beat Geneva yesterday, after struggling to get by St. Vincent a week ago.
W&J puts up 500+ yards, and defense plays good enough, but Presidents lose, again.

Nothing happening in this league right now that the National Committee's going to elevate the SPARTANS very high in regional rankings.
They better hope they can finish the unbeaten run through the regular season.
Been wrong before.  Will be wrong again.
