Kicker had 3 tries to make 2 and there would have been no overtime (3 to make 1 with OT). He went 0-3 down the stretch. How should they have won by 2 scores exactly? Unless you are counting our DB's falling down on 2 long TD passes, something they didn't do all year. Doesn't matter, we didn't do enough to win.

Actually, I am counting all of it.  DBs falling down, missed kicks, six penalties (including a terrible one after the touchdown and a worse one on the first missed PAT), two fumbles lost.  Team effort.  I can't look at that game and pin the loss all on one kid.  The Crusaders had the better team, were at home, and let loose with a stinker.

I watched the Cru look very beatable against Hardin Simmons in the regular season, I know it’s just one game but that just didn’t look like a stagg bowl UMHB team like I’d seen in the past.

Kovo is referring to the Wheaton Crusaders (Thunder)

Mount was quite a bit faster than Wheaton.  I'll be surprised if it's Jesse Scott at this point.

For the Wheaton HC spot I expect a former Wheaton player to be named.  Probably mid Jan to Feb 1 timeframe.  Among those I have heard tossed around (alphabetical order)

Pedro Aruzza, RMC HC
Rick Fox, former Drake HC
Tim Hardy, HC at Greater Atlanta Christian HS in Atlanta
Neal Nertherly, DC Eastern Michigan
Rod Sandberg, Whitworth HC
Jesse Scott, Current OC at Wheaton
Andy Studebaker, 8 yr NFL LB.

I would expect the next HC to be one of these guys. Realistically it’s probably a small subset of this list who are actual candidates.

 

Is Studebaker coaching somewhere now?

Currently a director with NFLPA.

I think there is also a good chance they already have the next coach selected.  JR Bishop stepped down in his late 50's (easily could have kept the head job longer) to give way to Mike Swider who had already been earmarked for the job.  Swider could clearly keep the job for another 5+ years if he wanted but seems like he wants to do what's best for the program and I'm guessing he (and admin) has the next person in mind.

Pretty cool that half the games this Saturday are about 20 minute drive apart.

With HS football over as of Saturday and the Bears playing the Cowboys Thursday night, these may be the only 2 games in the state of Illinois this weekend.

It's really too bad they can't stagger the start times.  I'd be at both games for sure.

Late 1st Q:

Wheaton 35
Wash U 0

After last year's debacle, let's just say Wheaton made sure it wasn't close this year... the stats say it all. Anthony averaged over 20 yards per completion, Williams 13.3 yards per rush, and the defense smushed the Bears into a fine powder.

It seems the bus carrying the WashU reserves arrived in Wheaton on time today, but the bus containing the starters encountered mechanical problems, and didn’t arrive until the beginning of the 4th quarter. The starters then entered the game and scored all 13 of the Bears points. 🤗

Well you are correct as it was the WashU 1's in through the 4th quarter with Johnny Davidson et al. scoring on the Wheaton 3's.   

Missed the Wheaton NPU game today.   Saw Swider mention a few key injuries that were "hard to swallow".    Sounds like season-ending and he was pretty down.   Anyone at the game have more info?   Greg?

Gotta think UWP doubles Francis in the 2nd?   That was fun to watch.
