Quote from: D3FLETCH on March 17, 2024, 11:37:13 AMHardy measured at 6006 (Little over 6-0). His production is prolific but his size is not gonna elicit much interest as a D3 from NFL. Hopefully he gets a mini-camp invite. 

Was surprised when I saw his measurements from the NW camp. I would have guessed he was 6'2 but I guess that goes to show you the size of a lot of the D3 defenses vs D1 defenses.

Anyone know how Deangelo Hardy performed at the NW pro day? Seemed to be a lot of local D3 products there.

Welcome back everyone. Good job, Pat!

NCC led at the half, scored 30 points in the second half, and rushed for 404 yards. The post-game focus was on the failed two-point attempt, but the offense was plenty good enough to win. NCC's 37 points are the most ever scored by the losing team in a Stagg Bowl.

NCC allowed 24+ points seven times this season. Last season, they never allowed more than 21 points in a game.

NCC's offense this season was the most dominating I've seen at the D3 level. Their defense was middling, however, and it ultimately wasn't good enough to win a national title.

NCC lost AA DT Dan Lester early in the season. AA CB Antwain Walker in the early playoff rounds. CCIW DPOY DE Martin Egbo in the quarters. I think it's fair to say any defense losing that type of talent would likely face a steep drop off.

Egbo played in the final.

Right but considering it was a lower leg injury that took him out in the quarters, and then only played about a quarter and a half in the semi's (clearly nursing and not explosive) I'd say he was probably well under 100%. I'd have to rewatch but I don't think he played much at all in the 2nd half.

Closest D3 title game in history. Central (Iowa) beat Ithaca by two points in 1974.

AND the qb on that Ithaca team?? JERRY BOYES -- Zac's Dad!!

Wow, what a nugget. And then how does his son end up on the other side of the Cortaca Jug rivalry?!

Does NCC not have a great fg kicker? Felt like the first trip in the redzone especially but also the second were spots for some points.

Incredible game. So much talent on the field, tough way for it to end for NCC. It was a blast watching this NCC team play all season. Didn't expect this ending, and agree that missing two AA guys on D was a factor. But so was the mojo of Zac Boyes. He balled out.

NCC kicker situation was bad enough that I was concerned about it costing them as the games got competitive.

Game reminded me a lot of NCC's first defeat of Mt Union. Just unreal QB play by Boyes.

Probably should have stuck with the original playcall on the 2-point conversion, or stuck with the misdirection. The play was far too telegraphed.

A little more patience from Lehnen and it looked like he had a huge hole available on the cutback. I did like the first playcall better as well.

Don't think they'd have been able to stop Cortland from at least getting into FG range though so probably moot!

The 3 empty possessions to open the game were ultimately the difference. Can't rack up that kind of yardage against a good offensive team and not put points on the board. Congrats to Cortland and the Cardinals.

7-3 at half.

Refs leaving a lot to be desired. Inconsistent and missing calls on both sides.
#10
Just laughing to myself about how funny it would be if this thing was a war of attrition that finished something like 3-0, 6-3, or 7-6
#11
Just as everyone predicted from these 2 high powered offenses:

0-0 after 1

My only concern is that NCC's defense is pretty decimated. Cortland may be able to put some points up as NCC's defense has to be a little emotionally drained after their effort at Wartburg. NCC'S offense keeps rolling, I wonder if Coleman will be used more to pound the Cortland d-line.

I'm not an insider on injuries, I know NCC lost a tight end early in the season and did they also lose to injury a D Tackle Lester? I saw him last year against Wheaton and he caused all kinds of problems.

They lost Lester early this season.

We should know sometime tonight or tomorrow morning what Vegas thinks about this matchup.

I'm expecting something like NCC -17.5 and would expect a total around 70.. but we'll see. Definitely a new matchup for oddsmakers to deal with considering there have only been 6 different teams (I think) that have played in the Stagg Bowl in the last 10 seasons. Cortland will be the 7th.

70 should be the O/U on NCC points.  Your numbers would be "put the mortgage down" type numbers, I hope Vegas agrees with you

I've got a feeling this is going to look a lot like the 2021 UHMB-NCC Stagg bowl. NCC were able to do a bit offensively but the athletes at the skill positions for UHMB were a level above NCC and NCC ultimately couldn't cope.

That said, my prediction for Wartburg was way off so... (and oddly enough I thought that one would look like the OTHER NCC-UHMB meeting).

with all due respect to Cortland, that would be a dream for ESPN and the NCAA (are they one in the same these days?).  I'm hoping for a competitive shoot-out, but it's going to be a physical mismatch with a bunch of long NCC runs and pop passes for TDs.  63-21.  Cortland will keep the starters in a get a late TD

UMHB over NCC 57-24 isn't a long way off 63-21 in terms of competitiveness.

Some rumblings out of Collegeville are hinting that Aaron Syverson could indeed use his last year of eligibility and come back for one more year at SJU.

If true, I love it for the Johnnies, but will be glad when these Covid years are over and people go back to doing their 4/5 years max.

A lot of people go to school for 7 yrs.
