I would attribute the fumbles Carswell had to the fact he had the ball in his right arm while running to his left. No reason Trine shouldn't have won that game vs St Norbert and I predict Whitewater steamrolls them due to their anemic offense. They just don't have any weapons on their offense.  Would have liked to see some early PA and go over the top vs St Norbert didn't seem to have anyone that could cover 18.

I'd like to see Trine dump Manchester I don't think any player on Trine past or present would consider them a rival. Also, need to drop Bluffton and add an OAC team and an NCAC team.

I'm not sure many running backs have been better than Levell Coppage (Wisconsin Whitewater) since 2010 but Carswell just might be better than him.  I don't recall seeing any back make some of the moves Carswell makes including Coppage.

Trine has consistently been in the top 10 to 15 in attendance for some time now.  They avg 4800 fans this year which would put them at number 3 nationally with 2017 attendance.

Well in 2010 when Depauw had a bad grass field and garbage locker rooms, a far superior Trine team had to travel to DePauwchwitz and play in that squalor.  I just don't think Albion's facilities have that much to do with them not hosting and more to do with no MIAA team being able to be competitive in the playoffs outside of a 3 year stretch by Trine.

Just wanted to say something about the whole facilities thing being an issue, Depauw hosted Trine in 2010 and they had the worst facilities I had ever played at. Idk how Depauw got to host that game but they did.  We called it DePauwchwitz it was so bad.  Having played games at Albion I see no reason they couldn't host a game if DePauwchwitz could.

why take them out? so should teams like alma and olivet be taken out of Adrian's?

Butler's 2 levels above D3, neither Adrian or Franklin would have a chance to win that game.  It skews the sos too much.

apples and oranges, ThunderStorm.  I assume you know these are fellow league members for Adrian, yeah??

my point was if you remove the 2 best teams to make fraklins sos weaker than why not remove the two teams with a 1-19 record to make adrian look better(yes i am aware those are 2 MIAA teams but thanks for the reminder) and if im not mistaken Franklin beat Butler in 08 but i guess had franklin lost to a team thats 3-7(yes i know 3 of the L's are against a 9-1 team and 8-2 teams) that would look better than losing to #1 Mount Union and Butler
