Millikin up 7-0 1st quarter. Dicken playing QB.
7-6 Millikin much different team without Hockaday
13-6 millikin PAT blocked

Is Hockaday injured? In this game or last week?
NPU & Benedictine still zeros after 1 quarter
Only Millikin and NPU playing this afternoon. All other games are this evening.
Can't go to the Wheaton game tonight even though it is home and I'm less than a mile away... Mother-in-law in town. RATS!
I will be watching the game cast on WETN.
The live stats feed from Benedictine appears to be locked up, with NPU facing a 4th-and-1 at the BU five yard line in a scoreless game.
Millikin up 20-6 now with 10 minutes left in 3rd quarter.

Gamecast now shows BU leading 14-0 at the half Looks like NPU offense is really struggling. Only 89 yards on 23 plays. BU with 220 yards in the first half, 198 of it on the ground. Ouch.
Worse, Rakim Jones has not appeared in the gamecast. That leads me to suspect that NPU's starting running back is hurt and not playing today.
Millikin now leading Albion 23-6 with 11 minutes remaining in the 4th.
30-6 Millikin with 8 minutes remaining.
Bryn Nottoli kicked a 34-yarder to bring NPU to within 14-3 with 11 minutes to go in the third quarter. And Rakim Jones now appears to be in the lineup.
BU missed a 37-yard FG, Vikings ball on their own 20.
Benedictine is really running the ball down NPU's throats. The Vikings are fortunate to only be down by 11 at this point.

5.6 yards a carry. Controlling the line of scrimmage.
In non-CCIW action... MUC over ONU 17-10 going into the 4th quarter.
Shelby Wood culminates an 80-yard drive with a 22-yard TD pass to Chris Anton. Nottoli's PAT makes it Benedictine 14, North Park 10, with a minute and change left in the 3rd quarter.
Make that 24-10. Amazing! It is not often a team hangs with MUC, but in most cases when they do, MUC steps on their throat in the 4th quarter and puts the game out of reach.

The Vikings got the stop, but then blew their own possession. BU returns an interception 37 yards for a TD. The PAT fails. BU 20, NPU 10, with 13 minutes to go in the game.
Benedictine closed it out against NPU. 27-17.
Millikin finished off Albion. 30-13.
Wheaton all over Concordia Wisc... 27-0 with 12 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.
Gingg has 60 yards on 8 carries.
Norris is 6-9 for 155 yards, 2 TD's including a 95 yard TD pass. 95 yards is not the Wheaton record for long TD passes. Dave Lauber had a 98 yard TD pass from Keith Bishop against North Central in 1985.
Augie up on UW-Platteville 24-3 in the 3rd quarter
Lakeland over Carthage in the 2nd quarter: 14-10
Wheaton up 33-0 with 3 minutes left until half.
Gotta tell ya'... Doug Rothchild does an outstanding job with play by play for WETN. Calls a great game.
4th TD pass by Norris in the 1st half with 6.1 seconds left in the half. Wheaton leading 40-0 over Concordia Wisc.
372 total yards for Wheaton at the half to 92 for Concordia.
Gingg 15 carries for 79 yards
Norris 12-18 for 240 yards, 4 TD's, 0 INTs
Lakeland over Carthage at the half: 21-17.
Jones for Carthage is 25-37 for 250 yards and 2 TDs by half.
IWU.....52
Aurora...6
Final
Freshman Jordan Roberts first completion of the game for 16 yards TD Wheaton on a 4 yard run. 47-0 Wheaton.
Final Augie over UW-Platteville: 31-12. Key to the game looks like 5 INT's by UW-Platteville.
Freshman Jordan Roberts looking mighty impressive. 23 yards TD pass to Antal. Wheaton up 54-0 with 2 minutes left in 3rd quarter.
Carthage totally dominating the game from a stats perspective: 385 yards of total offense to 142 for Lakeland. Yet Lakeland winning in the most important one - the score: 28-23 half way through the 3rd quarter.
CUW gets on the board on a 40 yard FG. 54-3.
29 yard TD pass from Jones to Koeneman, missed extra point. Carthage up 30-28. What's up with all the missed extra points this year? Seems far more prevelant this year...
Jones 31-44 for 347 yards and 3 TDs.
Another TD pass for Jones. Carthage up 36-28.
Jones 48 passes, 394 yards and 4 TD's in 3 quarters. Wow!
At the end of the third, Carthage had a 27-7 lead in first downs, and a 505-154 lead in total yardage. Since each team had only one TO, it is mystifying how the score could be so close. ???
Final in Wheaton: 54-3 Wheaton.

That is what I'm waiting to hear. Now that the Wheaton game is over, I'm going to dive into the play by play to see if it was long kick returns. I assume the one Carthage turnover resulted in a short field TD since Lakeland only has 150 some yards.
Ah... that will do it. Lakeland has a 86 yard kick return for TD and a 55 yard INT return for TD. That's half the picture. So how'd Lakeland get the other 14 points?
I'm on it...
Another Carthage TD, now 43-28.
Lakeland actually in the midst of a drive. Down to the Carthage 5. 3rd and goal. 43-28 Carthage.
TD Lakeland. 43-34 Carthage with 4 minutes remaining.
TD Carthage with 30 seconds left in the game. 50-34 Carthage over Lakeland.
Hmm... last TD pass wasn't from Evan Jones. Injury?

Will try to answer that question for you, but haven't seen the stats posted yet. Two possibilities, Carthage frequently plays their backup QB a series or two each half. With a two score lead (9) and 4 minutes left maybe the backup was in? or Chris Shulz who is a WR and former all-state QB has at times thrown a WR option pass. Did so on several occasions last year anyway.
Thanks for tracking the score of this game Mugsy. I've been busy visiting with family and was able to get away at moments to check on your updates. +k for your effort

Thanks for the insight. Seems like a real possibility of a trick play (WR pass).
Carthage up on Valpo, 20-14 with 9 minutes left in 1st half.
Evans 11-13, 159 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs... another great day thus far.
20-0 Wheaton over Hope with 12 minutes left in the 1st half.
Appear to be a number of injuries for Wheaton. Tyler Langs is in street clothes and Nick Theobald isn't playing either. Theobald hurts more than Lang because Wheaton doesn't have the depth on the DL, not to mention Theobald is 6'5" 285lbs.

I would hate to be the Hope center if the starter was playing. 92 is giving him all he can handle and then some.
20-7 Wheaton over Hope at the half. Relatively close game wrt stats.
217 total yards to 169 for Hope.
Passing: Wheaton 120, Hope 117
Rushing: Wheaton 97, Hope 57
One INT by Wheaton and very poor punting by Hope (3 punts with 25 yard average) is the difference thus far.

Yeah, with the switch to 3-4 defense, Theobald is a key to the defense. If it is a significant injury, it would be a major impact to the defense.
Wheaton pass interference call negates a Wheaton INT. Hope running the ball down Wheaton's throat right now. Impressive drive for Hope to start the 2nd half.
Wheaton holds Hope on downs. Wheaton D "bows up" nicely.
Overall I'm not too impressed with Wheaton's run defense in the 3-4. Hope is running it on them with success.
Since mid-2nd quarter, Hope has been dominating the game.
Thus far this year, Wheaton hasn't been able to get Gingg on track. Wheaton's veteran offense had better pick it up or Hope will take this one.
Wheaton going for it on the Hope 48 - 4th and 2
Actually they "pouch" kick it... Hope takes over again. Well see if the Wheaton defense is up for the task. Hope rushed for over 100 yards in the 3rd quarter, while Wheaton's offense has done nothing.
This is the best game calling duo i have ever heard
Wheaton finally stops Hope, then blocks the punt. Wheaton takes over in Hope territory.
Ok... the Wheaton offense is supposed to be explosive. Haven't seen it thus far...

Yes... they are excellent. The color-man, Doug Rothchild, was an All-American DE at Wheaton in the mid-80's and coached at Wheaton for 4-5 years. He knows his stuff.
As I'm typing the Wheaton offense wakes up... 30+ yard pass from Norris and then a 7 yard TD pass to Ellis.
Wheaton up 26-13 with just under 12 minutes remaining.

Not only the knowledge, but a great level of enthusiasm without sounding like homers
Ugh! Hope returns the ensuing KO 62 yards.
TD Hope. Hope botches the extra point, but Wheaton was offsides.
Hope makes the best of the 2nd try...
Wheaton 26, Hope 20
WOW! What a pass by Norris! Pocket collapsing... ball on the money for a 41 yard TD.
Wheaton 32 Hope 20. YET ANOTHER MISSED EXTRA POINT FOR WHEATON. 3rd miss for the game, at least the 5 or 6th for the season. That will cost a game for Wheaton at some point.
Sure would be nice to see the OL open some holes for Gingg! >:(
I saw your post earlier on the injuries at Wheaton, Theobold is a sprain ankle and Lang is done with an ACL tear.

Hey Mugsy.....I know you feel all alone here on most game days, but I want you to know I appreciate your in-game play-by-play. I'm usually away at a game and have no opportunity to follow other games around the conference. I enjoy reading your recap to get a feel for how a particular game progressed. Thanks for your effort even though you might think you're broadcasting to only you. ;) ;D
Whoa!

2:11 3rd Q
IWU has outgained Carthage 380-98 in total yardage thus far.
Whoa! IWU all over Carthage in the 3rd quarter: 35-3.
I haven't been paying attention due to installing drywall in the bathroom, but it appears as if Evan Jones may be injured. His stats read 8-14 for 36 yards, 2 INTs. Another Carthage QB is 6-8 for 43 yards. Implies Jones isn't playing.
Ladd is 19-25 for 270 yards and 4TDs. IWU looks like it is for real and should be considered a true contender for the CCIW title.
Total Offense: IWU 380, Carthage 101. YIKES! :o

40 yard TD for Carthage 2nd string QB. Missed extra point. 35-9 IWU
NPU doesn't have LiveStats and I'm running around too much to listen to WETN radio to hear all the details. But 27-0 Wheaton over NPU with 2 minutes left in the half.
Sounds like NPU has come out in some version of the wildcat/single wing - perhaps trying to trip up Wheaton. Problem is it sounds like it takes Shelby Wood out of the game? Weird... Why wouldn't you have your top player in?
Augie over Elmhurst 21-3 in the 4th quarter. Sounds like a defensive game. Augie with 250 yards total offense, Elmhurst with 150 yards.
I gotta question NPU's play calling. Crazy! They've got a WR lining up at QB for 2/3 of the plays in a wildcat formation and flinging the ball and getting intercepted, rather than playing their straight up offense with a very athletic, experienced QB in Shelby Wood. Seems very desperate.
FYI... I heard earlier in the week that Rocky Gingg was not going to be playing this week. He has a minor ankle injury from the Concordia game, though he played last weekend. Probably getting a rest this week so he is healthy for Augustana.
North Central all over Millikin: 48-0.
Another TD for Carthage, but it is probably too little, too late. Now 35-16 IWU with 10 minutes or so left in the game.
Ouch! On 2nd and 30 from the Carthage 41, Kraig Ladd hits his receiver for a 41 yd TD.

North Park wasn't running a wildcat, Mugsy. Coach Pethtel was alternating his QBs, Shelby Wood (#5) and Ronn Rataczyk (#12). Neither one ever lined up as a WR.

Thanks for the clarification. Like I said... I only listened for about 15 minutes and was going off what the announcers were saying. I heard Wildcat and Double Wing mentioned. Either way it was not the offense NPU has been running this year. Swider mentioned after the game that Wheaton had to throw out the defensive game plan and draw something up on the sideline.
Either way it is puzzling that NPU was not using Shelby as much.

Ratajczyk actually did about as well as Wood. He was more efficient (8-14; Wood was 8-20), and unlike Wood he didn't take a sack. Wood, on the other hand, didn't throw any picks, and he did engineer the 84-yard TD drive and threw the scoring pass to Evan Christiansen.
Ratajczyk is a junior. It'll be his team next season. Given that Wheaton was running away with the ballgame right out of the gate -- it was 20-0 when Ratajczyk made his first appearance with 4:41 left in the first quarter -- I thought it made sense to give Ratajczyk plenty of experience against a top-notch team rather than garbage time against scrubs at the end of the game, which is what he usually gets.
Yes, Pethtel threw some formation wrinkles into the gameplan. Kudos to him for making Swider work for his paycheck. ;)

Mugsy, Gregory Sager and everyone, thank you for your updates on here. I will become more involved once my youth football team ends their season in 2 weeks. I check these from my Blackberry during and between the games but haven't figured out how to post?! I should figure it out soon. Thanks again.
Looking forward to reviewing any in game comments later tonight. I won't be available to post here during the games as I'll be at the Wheaton/Augie game. I'll post my thoughts on the game later tonight.
Carthage 21 Elmhust 14 8 minutes left in the 1st half. Red Men 3 turnovers in the first half. Bluejays 1st and goal
Carthage 21 Elmhurst 21 scored on the 3rd Red Men turnover. 6:50 left in 1st half
Elmhurst 28 Carthage 21 90 yd Bluejay drive 2:00 left in first half
Elmhurst 35 Carthage 28 at the half. Not much defense in Elmhurst today.......
A stunner so far in Bloomington - Millikin leads 17-0 at the half!
IWU actually leads in total yards, first downs and TOP (unfortunately, also in penalty yards). Millikin had one long drive for a TD; otherwise blocked a punt for a short field, leading to a FG, and had a 73-yard pick six. (Both teams have had probable TDs stymied by an interception.)
IWU just dodged a bullet. With 6 and a half left in the third, Rooney threw his second INT, which was returned to the Titan 11. 3 plays later it was 4th and 10. The FG attempt from the 11 was SHORT (how can a kicker be short from the 11? :o) - score is still 17-0, with the Titans dominating everything but the scoreboard.
Congrats to Wheaton on a tough victory today.
Great pass play. These are the games that define your team. Bravo!

Final Millikin 19 IWU 13
listening to several pre games and IWU is without Ladd and Driver
who they playing?
Hockaday sounds like he might play according to the pre game, but they don't sound like he will last too long if he does. they say hes injured but don't say where
Hockaday is playing for MU
IWU Scores on their first drive
wheaton completes a long pass on 3rd and ten, then score 7-0wheaton
Hockaday throws a pick Wheaton returns to the 15 ???
Gutsy call by Augie on the last play of Q1: 4th and 6 on their own 38, and they ran for 9! :(
So far it is looking like traditional Augie is back - they tried exactly one pass (incomplete) the entire first quarter.
IWU 7, Augie 0 after one quarter.
14 -0 Wheaton
Maybe this is why Augie is not passing: IWU opened the second quarter with 2 consecutive sacks! :)
On 4th and 29 on their own 28, Augie did NOT go for it. ;)
I'm off to the cider mill with the family; someone else will have to take over the IWU/Augie commentary.
having problems with the feed, but Wheaton has gone from their own 18 to the Millikin 5 and are stuffed and have to settle for 3 17-0 wheaton
Norris picked at the 12 to stop another scoring drive, lost the live feed going with live stats
20-0 Wheaton
Just got back.
It's apparently all defense in Rock Island. With 6 minutes left in the game, it is STILL IWU 7, Augie 0! :)
Augie has 130 total yards, 6 first downs; IWU only marginally better at 220 yards, 12 first downs. Since all I've got to off is the stats, I have no idea if it is great defense, lousy offense, or some of each.
27 -0 wheaton Millikin D on the Field too long IWU wins 7-0
Finally took a break from remodeling the bathroom, but had difficultly getting any game feeds.
Just got connected to MU livestats. Wheaton up in the 4th quarter: 41-7.
No Gingg again today for Wheaton. Nor did they have the 1st & 2nd string TE's and the starting FB. Yet Wheaton still has 499 yards total offense. Millikin with 250 or so.
Big day for Velling filling in for Gingg. 31 carries for 126 yards and 2 TD's.
I finally got the live feed back, these 2 guys are brutal to listen to. I like the Wheaton crew much better
Final in Decatur: Wheaton 41, Millikin 7.
Final in Rock Island: IWU 7, Augie 0.

Carthage not quitting long catch leads to 32-14 score
whats the over under 100 ?

whats the over under 100 ?
the number on the Pick'ems board was 44.1 just for NCC So A safe number would be 80
Carthage driving Jones throws his third pick at the NCC @. Bring on Beazley
Gotta say... Carthage without a running game and Jones throwing the number of INT's that he does will make it difficult for Carthage to be contender, especially if Carthage continues to give up 30+ points.
Could you image Jones and this receiving corp, minus the INTs, with the Carthage defense & running game from 2003 or 2004? Yikes!
over 20 points off turnovers NCC scores in the waning seconds of the half 39 - 21

Jones seems as inconsistent as my Big Blue. Big game one week bad game the next. I did not see those defenses but it seems that Jones needs to be more consistent.
Another turnover by Carthage while driving WOW
NCC field goal 42- 21
WTF!!!!! 5 turnovers! not what you need to beat a good team! >:(

WOW! Tyler Funk just punted 58 yards for Carthage, pinning NCC down at their 11. That's quite a punt at any level, much less D3. (Or did it get a heckuva favorable bounce?)
I see I'm paying for slow typing, and Carthage already has the ball back.

I'll take the over! Jones now up to 58 attempts (with 34 completed to his guys, 3 to the other guys). At last count, 92 for both together.

Another NCC turnover... wow!
Combined passing attempts have now reached 104. I kinda doubt NCC will be passing anymore, but Carthage will every down (unless NCC makes it a 3 score game and Carthage decides to cede).
Jones stat line:
40-70 for 474 yards, 3 INT's, 5 TD's
That is 2 games for most QB's

That was great fun. Posts got out of order, because for awhile, every time I hit 'post' it would say there were new posts and wouldn't immediately post! I think the last time that ever (consistently) happened was a bball conference tourney final. ;)
Thanks again; Elvis has left the building!
I would say that I'll be around for next week, but I believe I'll be heading to the other side of DuPage county to bring the Bell back.
Final total - Jones threw EIGHTY FOUR passes! I hope the trainer has a LOT of ice. ;)
You want to look at two completely different games in CCIW action today?
NCC/Carthage: 63-48
Augie/IWN: 7-0

You obviously are not as familiar with the Bell as Wheaton alum. It'll fit easily into a Mini Cooper.
I don't post often and have been a CCIW fan for years. NCC is my team. In the Thorne years, they have always had a potent offense but the defense has been suspect. I believe that this year the D is pretty good. They can do things that past defenses could not. Although today's game still shows that the D lags well behind the offense. The offense for NCC is a flat out Juggernaut. Their ability to score at will is something to behold. If they were to face a Mount Union or a UWW, they could put significant points on the board. I doubt though that it would be enough, given the defensive weakness. Considering the injuries the have sustained, which would be catastrophic to most teams, I truly think that NCC is a hairs breath away from being a top tier team capable of defeating a MU if they can bring their defense up to at least complimentory to their offense, So close!

No question NCC continues to get better and better. One word of caution though... watch the talk of being able to dethrone MUC or UWW. The number of times I've said this the past 15 years only to see them wipe out a CCIW team by 20+ points. Time will tell and let's not get ahead of yourself. Last I checked, NCC still has a number of the tougher CCIW teams to play in the next 4 weeks. Just getting to the playoffs at this point is not given. Likely... yes, a given... No.
Thought I made it clear that because of defense, NCC has a way to go to compete with MU or UWW. The point I was trying to stress is that NCC has an offense that we have not seen in the CCIW for quite some time. The defense is way behind. Until it can catch up, NCC cannot compete at the level that MU and UWW have set. Understanding that, and coupled with the dearth of key injuries that NCC has sustained, I think that NCC program has shown the depth and progress needed to compete at the very highest level. And if they can continue to advance the program, A run at the title may be inevitable.

Thought I made it clear that because of defense, NCC has a way to go to compete with MU or UWW. The point I was trying to stress is that NCC has an offense that we have not seen in the CCIW for quite some time. The defense is way behind. Until it can catch up, NCC cannot compete at the level that MU and UWW have set. Understanding that, and coupled with the dearth of key injuries that NCC has sustained, I think that NCC program has shown the depth and progress needed to compete at the very highest level. And if they can continue to advance the program, A run at the title may be inevitable.
Somewhat clear until you finished your prior post with...
QuoteI truly think that NCC is a hairs breath away from being a top tier team capable of defeating a MU if they can bring their defense up to at least complimentory to their offense, So close!
You state NCC is a "hairs breath" away from being a top tier team and NCC is "so close", yet you also point out the defense is not up to task yet, thus "has a ways to go." So which is it?
I'd go further to point out numerous CCIW posters have expounded the past 5 years upon the fact that a CCIW team will not win a national championship until their defenses improve significantly. Go back and look at the defensive stats for Augies 4 championship teams. They were nasty good - much like the MUC and UWW defenses.
Great atmosphere outside BW Stadium in Naperville. Where's the ESPN Gameday crew?
I am extremely unimpressed with the Naperville Community TV online broadcast. It is completely unwatchable. Too bad the game isn't on WETN-TV. Guess I just won't be able to watch it now.
Neither offense doing much with their first opportunities.
NCC RB Rossberg injured in the 2nd series. Either twisted knee or ankle. Injuries keep coming.
Millikin 21, North Park 0 at the half. NPU has a grand total of 35 yards of offense. The Big Blue missed two FGs in the second quarter.
Anyone have any idea what's up with the IWU @ Elmhurst livestats? According to the schedule, the game started almost 90 minutes ago, but livestats indicates it hasn't even started. ???

Yet another Wheaton 3 and out.
One thing I meant to mention earlier: NCC using the wildcat formation pretty effectively today.
NCC into Wheaton territory again. Driving.
I have no idea what just happened...Fanthorpe had 1st down (signalled by ref) but apparently fumbled? Didn't see it...regardless its Wheaton ball near midfield.
ANOTHER 3 and out. NCC fumbles the punt. Wheaton ball on the NCC 35.

Livestats says Fanthorpe fumbled.
Barring a miracle comeback by the Thunder, the more important issue: NCC needs just 20 more yards rushing to cover the 'over' on pickems! ;D
The color commentator on WONC is brutal, but I feel bad because he sounds really nervous.
Yea Fanhorpe fumbled...but I didn't see the ball pop out.
Wheaton converts on 4th down and is threatening.
another fourth down coming up for Wheaton ... at the goal line w/ six minutes left.

The guy they had in the first half was a bit more smooth. Not sure where he went. Overall I'm impressed with the broadcast. As a former WONCer myself, I know how difficult calling a game can be.
I know these guys aren't WGN, but it's still good. I don't know that I would do much better.
NCC Interception on Norris. That should do it.
Norris hit as he threw, NCC picked it off. This one's pretty much over.
15 yd gain for Hicks. Approaching the Over.
That should be the Over.
Final from Naperville:

WC 7
That's a final. 27-7. The Bell stays in Naperville.
If you don't know it by now...
Augie up 21-6 on Carthage w/ about 4 minutes left in the half.
The RedMen had a nice drive going, but Jones fumbled at the Augie 24.
Oh, my! With 34 seconds left in the half, Augie blocked a punt, recovered for a TD!
Augie 28, Carthage 6.
And that's the halftime score.
After 3 in RI, Augie leads 35-6.
Jones is taking right up from last week (now 30 of 40), but clearly just not enough.
7-7 in Bloomington.
10 min. left in the first half.
Wheaton leading 10-0 at half against Elmhurst. Very windy day in Wheaton. Passing attack is minimal for both teams.
Still 7-7 at half between the Cards and Titans. Both defenses playing spectacularly.
Augie up 28-7 over NPU at half as well.
Wheaton 177 yards offense in first half, Elmhurst 121. Only one significant drive in the game (by Wheaton), 85 yards resulting in 3pts. The TD came after a blocked punt by Wheaton.
Velling has 106 yards rushing in the first half on 16 carries. Gingg must really be hurting, 6 carries for 19 yards.
IWU went 79 yards on the opening drive for a TD. Later in the 1Q, NCC took one play to get a TD after recovering a fumble on the IWU 19 (only turnover for either team so far).
NCC had one pass for 57 yards (ultimately yielding nothing); otherwise the Titan D is holding them to barely over 3 ypp. At one point, IWU led in yardage something like 190 to 67, though it has gotten more even lately.
IWU's lack of a kicker may cost them - Eash won't go for a FG even inside the red zone.

Very similar situation in Wheaton. Wind is gusty and definitely impacting the game. Wheaton is electing to have the wind in the 4th quarter, knowing it might come down to field position due to the wind.
Wheaton is all over the Elmhurst QB thus far. 3 sacks in the first half, plus a couple of hurries. Lots of 3rd & 4th and longs for Elmhurst. Very little rushing for Elmhurst - 19 rushes for 44 yards (15 yards on a 4th and 14).
3 & out for NCC on their opening possession of the 3rd Q...after starting with good field position (45 or so). Might be in for a very good 2nd Half in Bloomington.
And a quick 3 & out for the Titans.
TD Cardinals on a nice drive led by their backup QB, a freshman...radio guys don't know what's wrong with Fanthorpe.

Special teams killing Elmhurst. Fumbled punt return leads to another Wheaton TD. 17-0 Wheaton.

Ugh... seconds after my previous Elmhurst blocks a Wheaton punt. First blocked punt against Wheaton this year.
Amazing how bad the kicking games for virtually all CCIW teams are this year.
Horrible call. Pass interfernce against Wheaton. 1st and Goal Elmhurst.
Spencer Stanek still in for NCC...
http://northcentralcardinals.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2675&path=football
Completes a big 3rd & 9 pass for a 1st down.
Amazingly, NCC moving the ball better with the freshman in there.
Now Stanek runs for big 1st down on 3rd & 3.
NCC well into IWU territory.
Elmhurst scores after another Wheaton defensive penalty. Way too many Wheaton defensive penalities in the game.
17-7 Wheaton with 2 minutes remaining in the 3rd. Wheaton needs a drive on the ground to move the chains, get the wind in the 4th quarter.
Stanek picked on 4th & 8 from IWU 30...IWU ball.
Wheaton OLine opening huge holes for Velling. They should just pound it until Elmhurst stops them. Velling 164 yards rushing on 23 carries.
Wheaton driving on 5 rushes, 1 incomplete pass. In Elmhurst territory at the end of the 3rd quarter. Wheaton with the wind now.
End of 3rd Q in Bloomington...IWU will have a 3rd & 1 from NCC 29 when the 4th Q starts. 4-down territory for sure.
Great game.
Big play coming up... Wheaton 4th and 1 on Elmhurst 37.
IWU 1st & 10 on NCC 15. (Still NCC 14 IWU 13)
Elmhurst stuffs Wheaton by playing goal line defense on their own 37. No safety and Wheaton still tries to run it. Elmhurst takes over.
TD Titans! Kraig Ladd rushing TD.
2-point conversion no good...that would have been nice to get.
IWU 19

Long way to go in 4th.
Geez... another Wheaton penalty against the defense. This is crazy. Little offensive attack, yet drives continue due to penalties.
NCC radio says Fanthorpe went out with a "head injury." (Concussion?)
Freshman QB Spencer Stanek out there again for NCC...sounds like Fanthorpe done for day.
3 & out for NCC...IWU to start at their own 25 after punt.
12:00 or so left.
60 yard completion for Kraig Ladd...IWU ball @ NCC 15.
49 yard pass from Norris to Elmhurst 1 yard after about 6 straight rushes. Play action sucked safeties way up. McLain was wide open.
1 yard TD pass to Bertucci. Good to see Bertucci back in the line up.
Wheaton 24-7 with 12 minutes remaining.
4th & inches for IWU from NCC 5.

Long drive with virtually all running plays... chewing the clock up. Wheaton now over 300 yards rushing for the game. Wouldv'e been nice to have that attack last week. :-[
Wow... first rush by Rocky Gingg that looked like Rocky Gingg in a long, long time. Very nice 14 yard run, breaking tackles for a TD.
38-7 Wheaton.
Under a minute left.
IWU marching...after starting on own 25, ball now on NCC 28.
1st & 10 Titans, 6:20.
If IWU wins, good chance there may only be one CCIW team in the playoffs this year, as 2 of 3 teams between IWU, NCC and Wheaton will have 2 losses after next week.

Going for it...
Final in Wheaton. 38-7. 317 yards rushing for the game.

Bye week for the KC Chiefs, so Andy Studebaker was at the Wheaton game this week.
Coach Swider in post game interview mentioned how Wheaton finally has 2 healthy TE's which help Wheaton get 300 yards rushing today.
Wow...NCC fumbled the punt, but recovered it.
Cardinals ball @ their own 34...:35 left.

IWU ball @ 25, can win it with points.
Ladd rush to NCC 11 on first play.
Wow, this is one heckuva game in B-town. Credit to Stanek coming in and having a fine performance in backup.
IWU ball, 1st & goal @ NCC 5.
Wow...delay of game...2nd & goal from 10.
TD Titans!!!
Kraig Ladd TD pass to win it!
WOO WOO, IWU!! :o ;D
Wow...what a great game...
Definitely not taking anything away from IWU with this next statement because that was a strong performance on both sides of the ball. Man, injuries have just piled up on the Cardinals. I wonder what's wrong with Fanthorpe.
What an awesome fall day for football! I'll be checkin' every so often here for updates, in-between applying tape & mud to bathroom drywall. :-\
Looking for a great game in Bloomington. Kickoff just occurred...
Yes... 3 and out for IWU. 20 yard punt return for Wheaton.
Wheaton moving on their 1st drive. Converted an 4th and 2 from the IWU 47. Tried a trick play of sorts (I'm not listening to the game) because LiveStats shows Zellar attempted a pass.
2 dropped passes for Wheaton WR's already... that trend must stop (if a Wheaton fan).
I'm telling ya'... the kicking game is going to play huge roll. Wheaton misses 34 yard FG.
Interesting... Wheaton's plan of attack appears to be rushing the ball. Already have 59 yards rushing in the 1st quarter (with 5 minutes remaining) and IWU is letting up only 72 per game.

I wouldn't mind if IWU gave up only 13 more yards in the game! :D
Lots of dropped balls for both sides... nerves?

TD for Wheaton.
Wow... that is unfortunate for IWU. Rooney is in at QB. From IWU perspective... at least he is an experienced QB.
First penalty of the game in the 2nd quarter... offside Wheaton makes it a 3rd and 1 from IWU 35.
Doesn't matter... IWU gets first down and then rips of 18 yard run. That is what a team with 19 seniors gets you... they won't get rattled.
IWU driving... down to Wheaton 32. 7 play, 42 yard drive thus far.
Rooney more effective thus far than Ladd was... both through the air and on the ground. Another 15+ yard run for Rooney.
Rooney: 4 of 5 for 17 yards. 3 rushes for 40 yards.
4th and 1 on Wheaton 8. IWU goes for it and gains the 1 yard.
Wheaton intercepts Rooney pass at 3 yard line. HUGE turnover for IWU.
7 - 0 Wheaton over IWU with just over 8 minutes remaining in the half. 4 minute TOP advantage for IWU, but 2 critical turnovers.
4th & 16 IWU on Wheaton 43 with just under 3 minutes in the half. Still 7-0 Wheaton.
Very even first half. Both teams very, very balanced with their offense.
Wheaton 57 yards passing, 68 rushing (almost all of it in the 1st quarter).
IWU 60 yards passing, 68 rushing.
Difference is... IWU has had 13 more offensive plays and held the ball virtually the entire 2nd quarter. 7 minute TOP advantage to IWU. But again, critical stat is the 2 IWU turnovers (1 in their redzone).
Both defenses seem to be playing at a very high level.
With 22 seconds left in the half, Titans block a punt; have the ball on the Wheaton 23-yard-line.
While typing my first half summary... IWU blocks Wheaton punt with 38 seconds in the half. Take over at Wheaton 23. Ouch.
1st and goal IWU after a 16 yard completion on 3rd and 10. 21 seconds in the half.
Dang, the half ends with a blocked fg attempt from PAT range.
Still Thunder 7, Titans 0.

Earlier in the week I highlighted the kicking woes for both of these teams. Today in 1 half... 2 missed FGs (1 blocked) and 1 blocked punt. If either of these teams make it to the playoffs, this will cost them dearly.
Quote from: Mr. Ypsi on November 07, 2009, 03:11:26 PM
Dang, the half ends with a blocked fg attempt from PAT range.
It was a flukey play...a long pass completion, then the FG team sprinting onto the field to try to get a snap off. Sounds like there was question as to whether or not IWU even got the snap off in time.
(It was not a "normal" field goal attempt.)
Like last week vs NCC, the only score IWU gave up in the 1st Half was after a turnover deep in its own territory. Unfortunately, that was also the play Kraig Ladd was knocked out of the game (shoulder).
Losing Ladd is a killer. IWU's offense is just too one-dimensional with Brien Rooney in there. He can really run, but he doesn't stretch the field like Ladd does. He is also not a senior captain with that "back to the wall" mentality Ladd naturally has with his career winding down.
Still, just 7-0 and an entire half to play. The Titans D should keep them close.
Big turnover forced by Titan D on Wheaton's first play of the 2nd half and long return...IWU ball at Wheaton 15.
Finally the Titans catch a break! On Wheaton's first play from scrimmage, IWU recovers a fumble!
Now 4th and inches at the 6.
Dang, dang, dang! Wheaton takes over on downs at their own 6.
Wheaton D holds again, stopping IWU on a 4th & 2 from the 7 or so. Wheaton ball deep in own territory.
Wheaton's D has been tremendous.
Big stop by McMullen.
Big defense for the Thunder, big break for the team
Offense needs to tie their shoelaces...
Wheaton, 1st & Goal on IWU 7
Wheaton held IWU on downs. Big defensive stop.
Wheaton driving, 80 yards on 7 plays. At IWU 13... what a turn in momentum. IWU gets big turnover, doesn't convert and then Wheaton gets a long drive.
3rd & goal from 7, incomplete...FG coming?
FG good...95 yard drive.
Wheaton 10
IWU 0
mid-3rd Q
Yup... FG Wheaton. Wheaton leads 10-0. What a turn of events.
After Wheaton holds IWU on downs, an impressive 86 yards drive, though Wheaton only gets 3 out of it.
The worst part is...I LIVE in Bloomington, I'm all of 3/4 of a mile from the stadium, but I'm stuck at my game store all day, watching here and listening to WETN!

I'm sick to my stomach. Need to go sand some drywall to clear my head.
Congrats to IWU. Wheaton should be kicking themselves.
tough, uncharacteristic way to lose.
My guy was not -playing today for Millikin so I went with a friend to see the his son play for IWU against wheaton. What a great game! Wheaton had all the momemtum in the first half after Ladd Got knocked out but boy did IWUs ground game kick in in the second half. The middle of the IWU line imposed its will upon the Wheaton defense and it made all the difference. Wheaton was very impressive with their running in the second half. the Wheaton OC seemed to know what IWU was going to do on key third downs had answered with some inspired play calls. I am not sure who the Wheaton QB was throwing to on the pick in the endzone. I was standing in the opposite endzone and all I saw was a green jersey, maybe the receiver fell down but definitely a key turning point in the game. Kudos to both teams very classy during the game and after.
YIKES! The IWU @ NPU game is even more one-sided than I expected. 29-0 and the first quarter isn't over yet! Total yardage so far: 171 to -14; Vikings yet to get a first down.
Even my green heart says "Ouch!"

But you do seem to have good fortune on your side - Horn fumbled, Chambless recovered for a GAIN of 3 yards!
LGs get a TD with 16 seconds remaining - 21-14.
LGs then do onside kick, Titans recover but fumble recovered by Wabash. INT by IWU then ends the half - wild finish!
Great half of football between two quality teams....
Titan offense....very efficient.
28 all with 6 minutes left in the game.
IWU had key 4th & 2 conversion at Bash 22 to keep the drive going. Great game.
Titans get the ball back on their own 20 with 4:20 to go.
Gotta get a TD, since we all know they ain't gonna get a FG! >:(

Wabash converts the 4th and Goal to send it to Double OT
Wabash with the ball first in the second OT, throws an INT to PJ Cummings at the 11yd line.
IWU ball, any kind of score will win the game on this possession.
INT!!!
Now if only we had someone who could kick a FG - better get 6!
YES!!!!!!!!!!
TD Scalcucci! Titans win 41-35 in double OT!
HOLY COW!!!
4th and 15 for IWU at the 30yd line, Ladd hits Scalcucci for the TD to WIN!!

Congrats to both teams. It was a fantastic game.
Good luck to IWU for the rest of the playoffs.
Disappointing result, but a great game. Congrats to IWU. Good luck next week.
14-0 UWW over IWU with 7 minutes before half.
Looks like it could be much, much closer if not for 1 Ladd INT at the IWU 31 returned to the IWU 7 yard line (leading to one UWW TD on a 7 yard drive) and then another Ladd INT after a long, long drive inside the UWW 5 yard line.
Based on what I've seen in the drive charts and play-by-play, this easily could be a 7-7 game.
Wow... pass interference on UWW on 4th down and 6 keeps IWU drive alive. Next play Ladd hits Eli for 42 yards and a touchdown.
14-7 UWW over IWU with under 4 minutes to half. Like I said, the score easily could be the other direction with IWU leading. IWU hanging tough, in the first half anyway...
On further inspection, earlier in the game UWW had a 98 yard drive only to fumble at the IWU 1 yard line, so UWW should have had some more points as well. Still a close game...
Quick drive by UWW nets FG to end the half. UWW up over IWU 17-7.

When your top two RBs go down in the first game, you have no choice but to pass the ball. Nevertheless, after all of those years of trying to preserve and revive the Reade era, it's good to see Augie continuing to diversify their offense to bring the program into the modern era.
An odd score - early in the 2nd quarter Wheaton trails Albion, 3-2. Must have sent their baseball teams! :D
At the half, Wheaton leads 5-3. That still doesn't feel like a fb score. ::)
Carthage 7, Lakeland 0 at the end of the 1st qtr
Freshman QB T.J. Trepanier is taking quite a few snaps in the first half for the RedMen. T.J. is basically a running QB out of the option, but can throw a bullet pass. Unfortunately T.J. just fumbled away the ball in Musky territory. I'd like to see Jones handle the offense at this point.
Carthage picks off a pass at mid-field. Jones back on to run the offense.
Touchdown Red Men! Jake Smith on the run. Good conversion after the turnover. This drive came mostly on the ground which is a good sign for the Carthage offense. Red Men go for 2 and convert...Jake Smith again on the run, 15 - 0 Carthage on top.
Not sure why the 2 point conversion? Maybe just trying some things out before conference play. So far this season Carthage has line-up for the point after as if they're running a play (with T.J.Trepanier at QB) before shifting to the kicking formation.
IWU scores just before halftime to lead Alma, 21-0.
Bo Lanter having quite a day - 96 yards on only 4 carries, a reception for 27 yards, a TD. :)
Lakeland TD with a minute left in the half. Extra point blocked! 15 - 6 Red Men.
Now the 2 point conversion looks like a brilliant call as Carthage maintains a 2 score lead going into the half.
Just logging on... (been visiting terminally ill Grandmother).
Wheaton up 14-6. Definitely some growing pains for the young Wheaton QB's. Field is an absolute mess.
Rocky Gingg with 175 yards on 32 carries is the difference in the game. Wheaton with 400+ yards of offense, Albion only 170. It'll be interesting to hear from those tracking the game, but it looks as if the game shouldn't be as close as it is.
Oh yeah... only 2 minutes left in the game with Wheaton inside the Albion 20.
For those wondering about the 3 way competition for Wheaton QB, looks like it went to Garrett Meador over Jordan Roberts.
Meader: 9-19 for 186 yards, no TD's, no INT
Roberts: 4-7 for 29 yards, no TD's, no INT
31 yard FG for Wheaton, 17-6 with 1 minute in the game.
Carthage driving on the opening possession of the 2nd half. Inside the Musky 5 yard line, 3rd down.... radio feed lost :o oh no. Feed back. Tyler funk kicks a field goal Red Men up 18 - 6. Jones and Trepanier sharing QB duties in the opening drive. Announcers say field is in rough condition. Ankle deep mud center of the field between the hashes.
Game over Wheaton 17-6 over Albion.
Overall decent game for Wheaton. I'm always a bit nervous for the 1st game because Wheaton always starts a week later than everyone. Having one game under the belt is an advantage to whatever opponent Wheaton plays. That mixed with poor field conditions and rain evens out the game a bit.
Sounds like Wheaton had difficultly punching in for TD's and had to settle of 3 FG's in addition to the sole TD by Rocky Gingg.
Very balanced attack for Wheaton - 208 yards rushing, 215 passing. Gingg finished with 36 carries for 185 yards - the "work horse" is BACK! Great news for Wheaton after he played injured all season in 2009.
Solid defensive performance by Wheaton, holding Albion to 185 total yards (123 passing, 62 rushing). Albion had some very talented skill players - QB, RB and WR. The RB (Clinton Orr) came into the game averaging nearly 7 yards per carry over the last 6 games. Wheaton held him to 66 yards on 22 carries for a 3 yard average
Like I said, I look forward to getting the impression from someone who actually watched the game.

Thank you, yes. She is 93 and lived an amazing life. Wonderful woman. Pancreatic cancer that has spread to liver and other areas. Not much to do for her at this point other than pray for peace and no pain. She is very upbeat despite the outlook.
TD pass for the Muskies. 18 - 13 Carthage near the end of the third Qtr. Looks like another nail bitter with Lakeland. We've had plenty of those over the past 8 years.
Just heard the radio broadcaster for Carthage mention that Red Men linebacker Mike Oratowski just recently lost his brother fighting in Afganistan. Kind of a sobering thought this being the anniversary of 9/11 and makes football seem trivial. My prayers and gratitude go out to the Oratowski family for their sacrifice. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the brave men and women who serve our Nation and give us the freedom to do what we do.
Trouble in Howard Grove. Carthage fumbles on their own 29 yard line with 8 minutes to play in the game. Third turnover for Carthage.
TD Muskies. Had to convert 2 forth down plays to keep short drive alive. 2 point conversion is good. Lakeland takes the lead 21 - 18. Less than 4 minutes to play. Not looking good at the moment for the Red Men, but there is plenty of time on the clock to answer.
Carthage returns kickoff inside Musky territory!!! Let's go Red Men!!
31 yard field goal for Tyler Funk!! Game tied 21 - 21 with 2:18 to play. I've got butterflies in my belly and I'm not even at the game.
Lakeland driving to the Carthage 35 with 1:30 to play. Come on defense make a play.
OH NO! TD Lakeland. Announcers going nuts as they said receiver clearly pushed off the defender to get separation . No call by the official. 28 - 21 Lakeland with 1:06 to play.
Carthage down to the Musky 5 yard line first and goal with :23 to go! Come on Evan getter done
TD Carthage!!!! Point after good! Tied again 28 - 28 with seconds left. The last 5 minutes has been a barn burner

Mercy. Carthage can score fast with Evans.
Going to over time in Howard Grove. The 2 point conversion in the second quarter and the blocked point after by Carthage has played a huge roll in this game at this moment. Who'd have thought it?
Carthage will start OT on offense. Drum roll please.
TD Carthage first play of over time!! Extra point is good! 35 - 28 Carthage, Let's go defense. Make a stand.
TD Lakeland after a dumb personnel foul setting up Lakeland inside the 5 yd line. Looks like the Muskies are going for 2?
2 point conversion is INTERCEPTED by the Red Men!!!! Carthage escapes with a victory in Howard Grove 35 - 34. I'm exhausted. I gotta go lay down. What an exciting game with a good outcome.
Carthage off to a quick start up 9-0 half way through the first qtr. Tyler Funk with a 52 yard field goal. Chris Schulz with his first TD catch (46 yds) of the season. Shocker.....after a 5 yd penalty, All-American kicker Tyler Funk hooks the point after :o
TD Carthage! Cashed in a turnover with a 63 yard TD pass. Evan Jones 6 for 12 for 165 yards and 2 TD passes in the first qtr. 2 point conversion is good. Red Men up 17-0 in the first qtr.
Red Men have a TD pass called back due to a holding call. Can't convert a score on 4th and goal from the 5. I guess Coach Rucks is going for the jugular early on former D-coordinator Greg Etter who now heads up the Concordia program.
23 yard field goal for Concordia. Falcons cash in an interception thrown by Jones. Concordia got it's first first down of the game on this possession (5 minutes remain in the 2nd qtr) Carthage defense is playing well. 17-3 Red Men.
TD Red Men! 1 hand, 26 yard grab by Jerome Brown in the back of the end-zone for the score. Announcers are ecstatic about the catch. Evan Jones unbelievable! 16-28 for 346 yards and 3 TD passes in the first half. He has thrown 2 INTs as well. 24-3 Red Men. Jones with another possession to go before the half
24-3 Red Men at the half.

Is that Brad Crackel from Oswego East High School? That's awesome if it is. I wondered if he was playing somewhere.
Carthage opens up the second half with a 29 yard field goal by Tyler Funk. Carthage up 27-3. Potential TD pass was dropped in the end-zone.
Carthage converts their 3rd take-away of the afternoon. First rushing TD of the day, Jake Smith on a 5 yard run, 34-3 Red Men. The Red Men can sure score fast. 10 points in the first 4 minutes of the second half.
NCC 52 Olivet 3 late in the game
Millikin 31 Hope 21 late in the 3rd. Dion Wilson with a big day so far (12 carries 115 yds)
IWU up 14-3 at the half in Aurora
Elmhurst 28 Chicago 7 late in the 3rd
Carthage converts their 4th take-away into a TD. Evan Jones 4th TD pass, Chris Schulz 2nd TD catch. The Red Men are rolling it up!! 41-3.
Several reserves, many which are freshmen getting some valuable playing time mid-way through the 3rd qtr. Freshmen QB T.J. Trepanier now leading the Red Men offense. Carthage working on the running game although Trepanier has a solid throwing arm. Freshmen RB Steve Jones scores his first rushing TD as a Red Men. Carthage now up 48-3.
Carthage picks up their 5th take-away in Concordia territory. Field goal atempt by back-up kicker Mark Bappert is blocked.
Red Men continue to run the ball and the clock. Tyler Funk on for a 23 yard field goal. This one is good and he kicked it with the left foot! Quite the twist if you can kick with either foot. Red Men up 51-3.
Amended Post: Just found out that the announcers were wrong on Funk kicking left footed. It was actually freshmen kicker Brett Bukari, who is feft footed, that kicked the final 23 yard field goal.
Game over 51-3 Red Men. Good non-conference run for the Red Men 3-0 going into conference play.
6:39 to play, NPU 62, MacMurray 7- north park with a school record 440 yards rushing
19-0 Wheaton over IWU nearing the half. Wheaton controlling the line of scrimmage. IWU penalties have been costly. Defensive penalty extended a Wheaton drive that ended in a TD. Special teams penalty brought back a kickoff that was returned for a TD.

24-21 Elmhurst over Wheaton in the 3rd quarter. I've had email correspondence all week with Wheaton alum and this game had "upset" potential all over it.
Wheaton almost never plays well at Elmhurst. It is Elmhurt's homecoming and Wheaton is coming off of an emotional, charged win over IWU last week. To top it off Wheaton is without Rocky Gingg and their 2 top WR's.
It'll be interesting to see if Wheaton can pull it out.
Elmhurst with a pick 6 and Wheaton with another INT in the Elmhurst endzone is the difference in this game. 1st half Elmhurst was running all over the Wheaton defense. Wheaton with 110 yards in penalties.
Elmhurst current drive is over 60 yards in length and almost in the Wheaton redzone.
Scottie Williams has 142 yards on 25 carries for Elmhurst.
Elmhurst with nearly 400 yards of offense with 11 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. Currently down to the Wheaton 11 yard line.
24-21 Elmhurst
Wheaton defense holds, Elmhurst misses 27 yard FG.
Wheaton goes for it on 4th-1 from their own 45. Elmhurst stuffs it. HUGE momentum play.
Wheaton holds Elmhurst on next drive. Elmhurst has 36 yard punt, but Tyler Langs returns the punt 39 yards. Wheaton's drive starts at their 46 with 7:49 remaining in the game.
Elmhurst special teams is killing them. Missed FG, allow big punt return.
Wheaton has 3rd and 5 from Elmhurst 35. I'm guessing this is 2 down territory for Wheaton, given Swider's history.
34 yard pass from Roberts to Skinner (who?)... down to Elmhurst 1.
Then 1 yard TD pass Roberts to Skinner again. Extra point blocked! Huge play since it is now a 3 point game instead of 4 points.
27-24 Wheaton over Elmhurst with 6 minutes remaining.
Wheaton defense with a big hold, including a sack and Elmhurst with a big penalty (illegal block). Elmhurst punts.
Wheaton takes over on their own 31 with 4:17 left in the game.
3 straight rushes for Wheaton, but no first down. Looks like they'll be punting to Elmhurst with plenty of time remaining.
Sure would have been nice for a sustained drive to run out the clock. Hurts to be missing Gingg at this point.
Wheaton's poor punting hurts them. Only a 29 yard punt. Elmhurst starts drive at their 32 with 2:39 left in the game.
15 yard completion for Elmhurst - Furco to Payton, but Payton fumbles and Wheaton recovers. Wheaton takes over on Elmhurst 49 yard line with just over 2 minutes remaining.
NCC wins 34-14 over augie
2 rushes by Jarratt leads to Wheaton first down. I think Elmhurst only has 1 more time out. Wheaton should almost be able to run the clock out.
Wheaton with 4th and 6 on Elmhurst 32
Wheaton punts to Elmhurst 16 with 11 seconds left.
Wheaton intercepts Furco on desparation pass. Game over.
Wheaton escapes with a 27-24 victory.
Not a very good first half for Wheaton, but they play a solid 2nd half and come away with a victory at a field they rarely play well.
Elmhurst will be kicking themselves at some huge mistakes in the 2nd half that cost them the game. A missed 27 yard FG, a couple of turnovers, some key penalties.
Wonder if Wheaton has decided upon a QB - Roberts played the entire 2nd half after Meador threw a pick 6 towards the end of the first half.
IWU 13, Elmhurst 0 - 2 minutes 'til halftime.
Titans are imploding in the 3rd quarter. Two interceptions and a fumble have led to 6pts for Elmhurst, and they currently have the ball again deep in IWU territory.
Titan lead down to 13-12 - both PAT attempts by the Jays were blocked.
TWO halftime scores:
Augie 24, Carthage 7
Wheaton 52(!), NPU 0
Titans respond - now up 20-12 with 4 remaining in the 3rd.
Carthage down 30-7 in the 3rd.
Augie is dominating Carthage in total yards 468 to 213
STOP THE PRESSES!!!!
IWU just made a field goal!!! (Their kicking game is so poor, I believe that is the first they have even attempted all year.)
Titans 23, Jays 12, early in the 4th.
Jays score a TD on 4th and 7 from the 35, then get the 2-pt conversion.
IWU 23, Elmhurst 20.
Another Titan TD makes it 30-20, about 6 minutes to go.
This would be a whole lot more comfortable if Rooney hadn't thrown FOUR picks. :o The Titans have outgained the Jays by an almost 2 to 1 margin (including holding Elmhurst to TEN yards rushing.
The live stats from Kenosha seem to have died - been stuck on the same play for over half an hour.
Elmhurst scores again, misses another PAT - 30-26 with 3+ remaining.
Although there was still 3:47 remaining, Blue Jays tried an onside kick - no dice.
IWU picks up a first down at the Jays' 27, and E'hurst burns their last timeout.

Yeah, and I had IWU! Why can't Norm be the ogre CardinalAlum makes him out to be? ;) (On the previous play, IWU went harmlessly into the middle of the line - obviously they were not trying to score.)
Augie goes 63 yards on 4 plays to go up on North Park 7-0. 14 seconds left in 1st quarter.
42 yard TD pass for Augie. 14-0 over NPU with 10 minutes remaining in 2nd quarter.
1st two drives for North Park: 11 plays, 58 yards
Next three North Park drives: 9 plays, 13 yards
1st two drives for Augie: 14 plays, 48 yards
Next two Augie drives: 10 plays, 130 yards
Augie 15 yard roughing the passer penalty, looks like it may have knocked out the NPU QB - at least there has been a temporary change.
Update: NPU starting QB (Krebs) is back in the game.
Game under way in Naperville. IWU drive stalls, NCC takes over for the first time.
actually, NCC has thrown 2 picks in 2 possessions. Cardinal D has held both times so far
Crackel throws an INT, IWU has ball at NCC 44.

Crackel current QB rating for the game: -200 2 pass, 2 INT's
14-0 Augie over North Park at the half. North Park with less than 10 yards since the first 2 drives of the game.

NCC defense holds again, but 23 yard punt has IWU starting in NCC territory yet again.

Hmm... still no dice for me. Must be that NCC won't allow Wheaton football alum to view their live feeds.
0-0 NCC vs. IWU through 1 quarter... and virtually no offense on either side.
NCC flips field position with a big punt return to IWU's 28.
TD Cardinals, PAT good. 7-0
All set up by the punt return.
Nearly half way through 3rd quarter at North Park, still 14-0 Augie. North Park still with less than 15 yards total offense in the past 2 quarters of play.
Wenger with 8 tackles in a quarter & 1/2.
NPU holds Augie on 4th - 1 at the Augie 42. NPU takes over on downs. Normally that would be great news, except the NPU offenses hasn't done anything lately.
Whoa... check that. 1st down NPU to the Augie 32 yard line. First 1st down in ages.
Short lived positive spin for NPU... they promptly throw an INT. Augie ball.
Wenger has missed almost all of the 2nd Q due to injury.
4th quarter in Chicago, Augie leads 14-0.
The Titans stopped an NCC drive late in the 2nd...looks like heading to halftime 7-0 NCC.
IWU missed 2 or 3 great opportunities early in the game...especially after interceptions on NCC'a first two drives and good field position. The Titans just have not been able to move the ball consistently. They've had 3 or 4 play flurries but nothing sustained. 2 long passes from Rooney to Joey Driver stand out on different possessions...Driver was open on both, but the ball was overthrown each time.
IWU gets the ball to start the 3rd Q. Unfortunately I have not seen much to make me think the Titans can move the ball down the field in this game. The Titans may need a special teams TD, or the defense to create great field position, or something like that.
Neither IWU or NCC doing anything through the air.
NCC is 5-11 for 45 yards and 2 INT's.
IWU is 5-13 for 46 yards and 1 INT
Only 3 penalties in the first half (2 for NCC, 1 for IWU), but the last two were costly: IWU would have had a first down at the NCC 25, but was called for a hold; NCC would have had a first down at the IWU 18, but, again, holding.

And without the holds I don't think either play goes for a gain.
TD Augie after another NPU interception. Augie leds 21-0
I switched to a macintoshnfrom pc and video is fine now
IWU INT, NCC TD
14-0
Could get ugly now.
IWU looks much better than they did vs Wheaton
Park hangin tough with Augie! If we could only pass the ball a little!!!
Augie with only 315 yards offense against NPU, so good defensive showing for NPU. But even better defensive game for Augie and 3 NPU turnovers is the reason for the 21-0 Augie win.
Critical 12 men on the field penalty for NCC on the IWU 2 yard line stalls drive. 22 yard FG give NCC a 17-0 lead with just over a minute left in the 3rd quarter.
IWU has held the ball for 8 minutes more than NCC, but NCC has capitalized when it has counted and has rushed the ball significantly better.
Wenger recovers IWU fumble and returns it 21 yards for a TD, extra point fails. NCC 23-0 over IWU.

Glad to hear he's back in the game.
What a disastrous 3rd Q for the Titans.
Yet another Rooney INT returned 31 yards inside IWU 20 leads to another NCC TD. 30-0 NCC.
That is 7 Rooney INT's in 2 weeks. Not good.
Holy crap, Batman! At the half, Carthage 24, Wheaton 7. :o
Wheaton is 'storming' back - scored a TD (blocked PAT), and now have 1st and 10 at the Carthage 18 (midway in the third). According to the scoreboard, however, the game is now delayed by lightning - gives new meaning to the Wheaton 'mascot'! ;D
Was at the Wheaton game until the lighting delay.
Obscure game. Wheaton with 315 yards offense in first half, yet only 7 point. 3 missed FG's, and a very confusing call by Wheaton with a 1st and goal on the 3 inch line. Instead of running they elect to pass and Jordan Roberts throws an INT in endzone.
At least 3 30+ yard pass plays in the first half where the ball was significantly underthrown and the Wheaton DB's failed to find the ball and the Carthage WR's came back for the ball.
Whoa! Jordan Langs with a pick 6 and Wheaton is up 25-24 after being down by 17 at half.
Biggest adjustment in the 2nd half is that Wheaton switched to a zone defense and the Wheaton defense has stuffed Carthage in the 2nd half. That and Jordan Roberts is continuing to be a dual threat. Roberts with nearly 300 yards passing and 77 yards rushing.
Tyler Langs just had a 70+ yard punt return for a TD called back 30+ yards into the return. Still good field position for Wheaton.
Wheaton O-line starting to exert their will, which I couldn't understand why Wheaton wasn't running more.
Wheaton just marches it down the field. 50 yards on 7 plays. All rushing. Jordan Roberts and Rocky Gingg just pounding away. 31-24 Wheaton.
What a turn around. Would love to have heard what Swider said at half.
Kicking game is an absolute TRAIN WREAK for Wheaton. 3 missed FG's, 2 blocked extra point. This game would be a blowout if the kicking game was in place.
Another 3 and out for Carthage. Carthage with only 30 yards offense in the 2nd half thus far.

I just made the same point on the regular CCIW board. IWU's kicking game is so bad they have only attempted one FG all season (I nearly had a heart attack when it was good!). Ironic, since Wheaton and IWU are the only undefeated soccer teams in the conference - everyone with a decent leg must be playing on the pitch! ;)
Victory formation for Wheaton. What a comebak for Wheaton. Final will be 31-24 Wheaton.
Jordan Roberts with a HUGE game. 20-35 for 277 passing, 3 TDs, 16 rushes for 110 yards and 1 rushing TD.

IWU lost @ Augie today.
Any live stats for the Augie/Wheaton game? Stuck replacing the kitchen faucet, youngest taking a nap in the other room so I can't listen to the WETN crew.
Just turned on the radio quickly to get a score update. Roche has just kicked his 2nd FG of the game, this one was 52 yards! Goes to show you that clearly his is very talented, but has struggled with confidence. Kudos to Wheaton staff for helping him this week and for having confidence to put him in to kick that FG. A miss would have given Augie great field position.
Wheaton leads 6-0.
Back to the sink.
No live stats, as far as I can tell.
Wheaton 6, Augie 0 - mid 2nd
After Roche's struggles last week, he is 2-2 on FGs so far, including what WETN said was a 52-yarder. If true, that would be a school record!
Augie strikes right back.
Augie 7, Wheaton 6 w/ 4:52 left in 2nd.
http://elmhurst.edu/~athletic/Home/football/stats/live/xlive.htm
NCC was down 7-3 ... Crackel started 0 for 5 and Elmhurst was driving for a second TD until the Cardinals' D stiffened at the right time. Crackel followed with an 88-yard TD pass. NCC got another stop and Antonacci returned a punt 55 yards for a TD. NCC has the ball back in Elmhurst territory with a 16-7 lead.
NCC brought in Stanek, who completed both of his passes for 23 yards, and Tassio completed a 10-play, 43-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge. NCC leading 23-7 at the half
Tyler Langs w/ his third interception of the game! Returns it to the 25 yard-line w/ 4 seconds left. Scott Roche nails a 42-yarder to make him 3-3 on the day and give Wheaton a 9-7 lead at halftime.
Lee has thrown 3 first half INT's for Augie, all to Tyler Langs who I had heard was questionable for the game due to a stinger suffered on Tuesday.
Roche hits his 3rd FG of the half after an abysmal game last week, this time from 42 yards. Wheaton leads at the half 9-7. A typical Wheaton/Augie barn burner in Rock Island.
Old faucet out, beginning to install the new one. :P
Live stats not working and also lost the audio out of Augustana.
NCC interception in Elmhurst territory
IWU trails Millikin, 14-10 halfway thru the 3rd, but Titans are deep in Millikin territory.
NCC gets a Field goal from the INT .. leads 26-7 with 10:17 remaining in the third quarter
BTW, scoreboard has what would be the most shocking upset of 2010: 0-7 Olivet 51, #15 and 7-0 Trine 14! I checked with Trine's radio broadcast, and sure enough, scoreboard has it backwards. ;)
Just tuned in for an update... don't know the details, but it is now 14-9 Augie with 9 minutes left in the 3rd.
Connecting the hot & cold water lines for the new faucet.
Augie driving again... at the Wheaton 33. Sounds like Augie has moved the ball all day, but has turned it over too much, otherwise it might not be so close.
Announcers hinted at a long Augie run leading to the go ahead score.
Augie goes for it on 4th down somewhere inside the Wheaton 30 and Wheaton hits Lee as he throws it. Wheaton takes over on downs.
Augie leads 14-9.
After 3 quarters, IWU 17, Millikin 14.
Augie misses a 22-yard field goal. Score remains Augie 14, Wheaton 9.
End of the 3rd quarter.
Wheaton punt blocked. Augie takes over at Wheaton 31 w/ 14 minutes left.
I'm only checking in every few minutes, but I swear I've never heard the Wheaton offense on the field! Augie has the ball again.
Faucet almost done.
Ah... blocked punt. That would explain it. Sounds like Wheaton is lucky it is as close as it is. Augie defense is having a good day?
Another long Antonacci punt return sets up Kukuc for 4-yard TD run ... NCC leading 33-7 just before the start of the fourth quarter.
Wheaton counters with a blocked field goal! Still 14-9. Thunder offense needs to get something going.
Alright!! Titans recover a fumble on the Millikin 17!!
Halfway thru the 4th, IWU up 17-14, and a chance to virtually ice the game. ;D
Update: Titans have 1st and goal at the 2!!
Wheaton facing a 4th and 8 in Augie territory, elects to punt the ball. Augie takes over on their 15.
First Augie play after punt is a fumble Wheaton recovers on Augie 15.
TD, Eli Williams! Kick is good, Titans up 24-14 with 6:02 remaining.
Quote from: Mugsy on October 30, 2010, 04:20:05 PM
First Augie play after punt is a fumble Wheaton recovers on Augie 15.
Another big play by the Wheaton D! Turnovers have killed Augie today.
Roberts sacked again by Augie. Bringing a 3rd and 18 or so.
Wheaton elects to kick another FG. Roche is 4 for 4. Augie leads 14-12 with just over 7 minutes remaining.
Stanek TD pass for NCC, giving the Cards a 40-7 lead with 9:43 to go.
Sounds like Wheaton has implemented a very, very conservative offensive game plan, trying to pound the ball with little success.
INT!! IWU takes over in Millikin territory (41 yard line), with 5:03 remaining.
Wheaton defense forces 3 and out. Thunder take over on own 39 w/ 5:40 left.
Roberts to Watkins - 43-yard TD! Wheaton leads 18-14 w/ extra point to follow.
Roberts rushes for 2-point conversion. 20-14 Wheaton w/ 4:48 left.
Aaargh - Titans punt into the endzone for a net gain of 9 yards! :(
The good news is that Millikin used up all their timeouts and there's less than 4 minutes to go. :)
Elmhurst starts comeback with 6:43 to go, but misses extra point ... NCC leads 40-13.

Just as I confirm the new faucet is working correctly. Sweet! ::)
Just over a minute left, Augie with the ball just about the Wheaton 20. 3rd and 15.
Lee complete to McCulla (sp?) to the Wheaton 2 yard line. Huge play.
Wow!
Wheaton sack at the 5 with less than 25 seconds.
Confound it! Under 4 minutes to go and livestats died!! >:(
Augie goes bubble screen, incomplete. 4th and goal with 14 seconds. This is it.
Incomplete pass. Wheaton will win this game.
There are reasons... winning programs win.... Great Win Thunder!!!!!
Wow. Great stand by the Wheaton D. This one always lives up to the hype!
Stanek TD pass ... NCC back up 47-13 with 2 1/2 to go ...
Stanek 7-for-7 for 129 yards and 2 TDs
Steckel 1 for 8 for an 88-yard TD
Sounds like Coach Barnes bungled this game in a big way. Forced to take timeouts to early in the 4th quarter so that they didn't have them in the last minute. Plays getting into the huddle way to late so that Augie was forced to rush it, including a delay of game at the Wheaton 5 yard line with 14 seconds left.
Whew! Next week for all the marbles in Wheaton.
Bring on the game of the year! Going to be a great game! Elmhurst negative 50 yards rushing! Only bell I hear ringing is the little Brass one! ;D
Augie with over 430 yards offense, Wheaton with only 250 or so. But 4 Augie turnovers lead to 12 Wheaton points.
NCC wins 47-13 ... I believe John Thorne ties all-time wins record at school with that victory.
Kukuc TD makes it 21-3 NCC. Middle of 2nd.
NCC fumbled, Wheaton recovered in NCC territory, but NCC gets INT in end zone on 3rd and 10 to end the threat.
Still NCC 21-3. Couple minutes left in the half.
21-3 at the half ... NCC has outgained Wheaton 254-49
IWU 25, Carthage 21 at the half.
I missed the first half watching the most amazing game - Michigan downed Illinois 67-65 in triple OT!! :o ;D
Wheaton FG makes it 21-6.
I was splitting my attention between Wheaton/NCC and IL/UM.
What a game in Ann Arbor.
That game was unbelievable, especially the tipped pass for the TD.
IWU gets a TD, recovers a fumble, gets to the 4, then gets a FG - now up 35-21, with 6:32 to go in the 3rd.
In a game of interest to playoff aspirants, WashU downed CWRU 14-13, pretty much eliminating Case as a playoff team.
TD NCC.
NCC 28
Wheaton 6
4 minutes left.
As good as NCC has been this year, the question is will this be the year the Cardinals finally break through on a long playoff run (quarterfinals or beyond)?
Wheaton fumbles, NCC recovers this one is over. 3 min left.
The defenses seem to have left at halftime. :P Since my last update, both teams have scored TDs (IWU's PAT was no good); IWU 41, Carthage 28 with about 3 to go in the 3rd.
Another TD for Carthage - 41-35 with a minute and change in the 3rd.
IWU's missed PAT looms large.
Ding, Ding ... It's all over. 28-6 NCC. The Bell stays in Naperville.
At the end of 3, IWU still up 41-35 and has the ball at the Carthage 44.
OUCH! The Titan punter pinned Carthage at the 5; Jones immediately drove them 95 yards for a go-ahead TD! Carthage up 42-41 early in the 4th.
IWU escapes being pinned at their own 4, and has now driven to the Carthage 45; probably about 5 minutes remaining.
96-yard drive and a successful 2-point conversion!! IWU 49, Carthage 42.
75 seconds remain (and Carthage has all 3 timeouts) - GO DEFENSE!!
Three incomplete passes and a 1-yard gain, and IWU takes over. A Rooney knee, and this one is in the books: IWU 49, Carthage 42. ;D
NCC leads 42-7 at the half ... I believe the Cardinals have scored on a couple of runs, a pass, a kickoff return and a punt return.
Wheaton leads Millikin 17-0 at halftime. Millikin with just 35 yds offense in 1st half. Wehaton w 232 (158 rushing)
IWU 7 Augie 7 in rock island. Rooney w 71 TD pass to Joey Driver ties it up in the 3rd
Freshman kicker Tim Hollowed moves to 5 for 5 on FGA this season, connecting from 25 yards.
IWU 17
Augie 14
4th Q, about 10:00 left
Good game.
On 4th & long, Titans punt into the wind (wind has played a big factor in this game it sounds like).
Augie ball on IWU 40, 2:49 to play.
Titans still up 17-14...Augie with a drive to tie or take the lead. (Augie has wind at back.)
Augie just 1-7 on FG's on the season.
1st & Goal Augie, on IWU 5...1:00 left.
Big pass on 3rd & 10
Thanks for the updates, Q. I can only use livestats (don't ask :P), and they have frozen with the score still 14-14. :(
TD Augie...just 30 seconds or so left...Augie will win this one it looks like.
PAT missed
Augie 20
IWU 17
30.3 seconds left
Final:
Augie 20
IWU 17
The Titans got the ball to the Augie 30 with 1.7 seconds to play. Instead of trying a 45-yard FG into the wind, they ran a pass play, and it was incomplete in the end zone.
This sounded like a very hard-fought game. It was close throughout.
'live'stats still says 14-14. :P In the women's soccer game earlier today (a 3-0 Titan win :)), 'live'stats quit after the 68th minute.

(Naturally, THOSE livestats are working just fine! :P)
Wheaton & Coe just about to kick off. Will be interesting to see how effective and how long Jordan Roberts will be able to go with his injured finger. He didn't take any snaps this week due to pain when taking snaps from under center. Probably will see a lot of shot gun formation today.
If Roberts can't go the entire game, Wheaton will have to go to their 3rd string QB since Meader was hurt last week in the Millkin game. Kuhn is the 3rd string QB and hasn't taken a snap this year.
Wheaton rushing attack and ball control will be a key. Wheaton must keep the Coe offense off the field, as they can score. Wheaton can't get into a shootout.
Lots of missed tackles for Wheaton thus far. Better change that quickly.
Coe drives 60+ yards on their first drive, but then fumble in the red zone. Wheaton recovers and returns 20 yards or so.
Wheaton takes over. Wheaton driving with nothing but runs. Looks like Wheaton's game plan is to pound the ball since the games Coe has struggled, teams have run effectively.
Wheaton drives to Coe redzone, but 3 penalties for 30 yards stalls drive. Wheaton misses 51 yard FG. Had the distance, but wide right.
Tough call to punt there, especially into the wind.
Wheaton scores with 26 seconds in the half, but PAT is blocked. Coe leads 7-6.
Neither defense is playing particularly well.
Wheaton QB Jordan Roberts is 8-12 for 107 yards, 1 TD, plus 28 yards rushing with a broken finger on passing hand.
Very even game in Wheaton. Neither defense is playing particularly well. Both teams averaging 6.4 yards a play. Wheaton with 230 yards, Coe with 180 (more plays for Wheaton). Difference in game is missed FG by Wheaton and turnover on downs at about the Coe 30 or so.
Penalties are killing Wheaton - 5 for 45 yards thus far, but they've come at key points and have led to stalled drives.
NCC up 36-0 at half
Wheaton returns opening kickoff 70+ yards, penalty down but it is on Coe sideline. Tack on penalty and Wheaton starts in the redzone.
Wheaton can't punch in from the redzone, yet AGAIN! So another 32 yard FG gives Wheaton a 9-7 lead.
Roche good from 32 yards. 9-7 Wheaton. Good to see Roche knock one through after missing the XP.
Coe gets 60+ yards on a simple hitch route, but broken tackle leads to huge play. 1st and goal. Huge mistake by Tyler Langs. Horrible attempt at a tackle.
1st and goal at 3.
TD Coe. Coe now leads. 14-9.
WOW... Roberts has ALL DAY to throw. Several pass plays he has had 8-10 seconds to pass.
ARRGGGHH!!!! Wheaton drive is stalling yet again. They match down the field only to face 3rd and 13 and then Roberts gets sacked to take them out of FG range.
Coe looks like they want it more. They are physically abusing Wheaton right now.
Coe up 21-9. Wheaton in trouble.
Not sure why Wheaton hasn't just pounded the ball. They were so effective running it early, but have since gotten away from it. At least 3 times Wheaton has had 2nd and short, only to get sacked and stalled the drive.
Coach Davis... run the ball please and not the misdirection! Line up and pound it.
43-0 NCC
Stats as of 11 minutes left in 3rd:
SNU - 127 total yds (76 pass, 51 rush)
NCC - 452 total yds (262 pass, 190 rush)
First mistake Coe's QB has made. INT Wheaton, takes over in Coe territory. 3rd quarter ends with Wheaton at Coe 19. Can Wheaton finally get something done in the redzone?
1st and goal Wheaton at Coe 8.
Hmm... Wheaton has gone double TE, 2 back and are just pounding the ball.
Skogen scores on a tough run. Coe leads 21-16 with 13:21 remaining in game.
50-0 NCC
Can Wheaton get another stop on Boyle?
Tyler Langs drops a sure pick 6 in the flat for Wheaton, but Wheaton does hold Coe to a 3

Can Wheaton get another stop on Boyle?
Yes! 3 and out. After a short punt, Wheaton takes over on the Coe 46.
And next play - Roberts to Ellis 46-yard TD!!!
After 17 yard Coe punt, Roberts hits Ellis on 46 yard TD. 2 pt conversion. Wheaton now leads 24-21
Wheaton converts two-point conversion on a play-action pass from Roberts to Skinner. Wheaton 24, Coe 21 w/ 12:30 to go.
Could be key, but Coe is going into the wind now.
As bad as Wheaton defense looked in 3rd quarter, they are alive now!
Another 3 and out for Wheaton defense.
come on, wheaties.

The wind seems to be making a huge difference for both teams. Glad to have it at our backs now.
Roberts with 37 yard run to Coe 1.
TD Gingg. 3 straigth TD's by Wheaton. Wow... what a change.
31-21 Wheaton with 8 minutes left.
Very early in 4th
NCC 57
SNU - 0 (but threatening after a 55yd pass...which accounts for nearly 1/3 of SNUs total offense on the day)
Wheaton defense holds AGAIN! Coe punts for the 3rd staight time.
4th and 9 Coe at their own30 yard line.
Pass broken up by Wheaton. Wheaton takes over at Coe 23 with just over 2 minutes left.
Looks like Wheaton's undefeated streak in the 1st round of the playoffs will continue. 7-0!
Game over. Wheaton wins 31-21 with 22 straight points in an 8 minute span. Can't count out this team. 4 times this year with a significant comeback in the 2nd half.
The shutout bid ends for NCC ... 57-7 with 35 seconds left.
And that's your final
Wheaton stuffs first 2 Bethel runs. Bethel QB breaks contain on 3rd and 7 for a long 50+ yard run. Bethel at Wheaton 28.
Since Bethel can't kick the ball, any redzone means 4 down territory.
Wheaton holds Bethel on 4th and 4 at the 11.
Ugh... 2 penalties on Wheaton's opening drive. 25 yards in penalties is killing a decent drive.
Wheaton holds Bethel to 3 and out on their next drive.
Wheaton now at Bethel 47 yard line with a couple minutes in 1st.
Long scramble by Roberts, plus late hit penalty by Bethel has Wheaton at Bethels 16.
Wow. Bethel brings the lumber. Their safeties come up hard and make some hits.
Skogen throws out of the wildcat for the 1st time all year for a 13 yard TD. Wheaton up 7-0.
Wheaton with an INT at Bethel 39 to end 1st quarter. 7-0 Wheaton.
Big penalties and mistakes (dropped punt/turnover) are killing North Central right now. The Cards are playing like anything but a veteran team in the 1st half.
ONU 3
NCC 0
2nd Q, ONU ball on about NCC 30
Wheaton took over at Bethel 34 after a punt inside their own 5.
Stupid, STUPID penalties for Wheaton. Lining up for a 47 yard FG and they get a delay of game. Now they need to punt. The lose a chance for for 3 points.
Wheaton holds Bethel on 3 and out again. Wheaton takes over on Bethel 34 AGAIN after Bethel punt.
What the heck? 4 false starts for Wheaton in the 1st half. Isn't this game #12?
NCC with a big blocked punt, and now a 30 yard run to the ONU 25. Feels like momentum changed in a hurry.

Wheaton D is playing well up front. Bethel's back-up left tackle is getting totally manhandled right now! ???
NCC forces another ONU punt...

50 yard TD run for Nick Kukoc!!
Wow...enormous score heading into half.

2:41 2nd Q
A shootout in southern Wisconsin.
Halftime in Naperville...
North Central 14
Ohio Northern 3
NCC committed a huge penalty on ONU's first drive (12 men on field) that allowed ONU to extend the drive. It eventually led to a Polar Bears FG.
Later in the half, with ONU punting from their own 8 yard line, NCC's Antonacci (sp?) called for the fair catch, but dropped the punt and ONU recovered. However, NCC held ONU and blocked a punt -- which was the turning point of the 1st half.
NCC quickly scored on that next drive...then held ONU and forced a punt...and with about 1:30 to go, the Cards got the ball and scored on about a 65-yard drive (50 yard TD run by Kukuc).
Defensive battle in Wheaton today. Bethel 141 total yards. Wheaton with only 98. Wheaton held significant field advantage with 3 drives starting inside Bethel 40, but could generate little offense - 6 penalties didn't help. 120 of Bethel yards came on 1st and last drives of half. Key in 2nd half could be whether or not Flannery returns for Bethel - I think it was an ankle injury.
And no one can stop anyone up north...

This is where NCC lost the game vs ONU last year. ONU just made better halftime adjustments than NCC. Time for NCC to turn the tables.
Wow, what a big turnover by Wheaton to start the half. Ouch. Careless.
Back underway in Naperville...
ONU starts at about the 20.
3 & out for the Polar Bears.
NCC ball on the ONU 45 after a terrible ONU punt.
NCC drive goes nowhere...Cards punt but have ONU pinned inside the 5 (about the 4).
Bethel converts with TD after Roberts fumble. They converted a 4th and 2 from Wheaton 28 then just pounded the ball down Wheaton's throat. Since Bethel can't kick, they go for 2 and fail.
7-6 Wheaton.
ONU gets ball out to about their own 35...but has to punt again.
NCC ball on ONU 36 as drive starts.
Still 14-3, about 8:00 3rd Q.

How bizarre a 2nd round playoff team cannot even
attempt a PAT!
As a Bethel alum the inability to kick an extra point is very frustrating. It has happened a number of times in past years and cost us.
Tassio with longggggggg run to the ONU 10.
1st & goal
Wheaton offense can't generate anything right now. Very predictable. 1st down run, 2nd down run, 3rd down pass...
Getting nothing on the ground. Should look to open it up on the pass attack? Roberts with all day to throw in most instances.

mid 3rd quarter and Wheaton only has 29 offensive plays (to 50 for Bethel).

5:51 3rd Q
5 plays, 64 yard drive.
With NCC's defense, this one feels very over. Long way to go though.
Looks like Wheaton is going to need another big turnaround. Bethel is starting to wear out Wheaton with a punishing rushing attack.
Flannery just went over 5000 career rushing yards.
Trine 31

12:00 3rd Q
ONU goes for it on about 4th & 4 on their own 45 or so...and gets stuffed. NCC ball.
Seems like ONU feeling a little desperation time.
Bethel with their 2nd FG of the entire season to take 9-7 lead. Starting 4th.
Wheaton offense better get it in gear. Only 14 yards in the 3rd quarter. Lots of wildcat formation. Wonder if Roberts re-injured his hand?

Not sure what their offensive gameplan is, Mugsy. Just really predictable plays.
NCC drives goes nowhere...Cards go for it on 4th down on ONU 35 and get stopped.
ONU ball...still 3rd Q...21-3.

Have WETN sound down and was wondering how far that FG was...49...wow, big-time kick.
Nice FG by Wheaton kicker. 49 yds, dead center.
Amusing note. Several very nice tackles by Mike Sedjo, Jr. FS for Bethel. He has yet to have his name mentioned by the Wheaton announcers...that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that he's the son of a Wheaton All-America does it :D :o
NCC picks off a long ONU pass.
Now in the 4th Q, NCC ball on ONU 12. Still 21-3.
Oh, and #47, LB for Wheaton is pretty obnoxious. But your QB makes up for it with his ridiculous scrambling ability...
Wheaton defense holds. More energy after Roche FG.
Then Tyler Langs fumbles ensuring punt return. Ouch. Bethel takes over at Wheaton 45.
Missed FG by NCC.
Still 21-3, 10:00 to go.
Bethel 3rd and 9 at Wheaton 27 with 5 minutes left. Wow... Wheaton has Flannery bottled up but massive stiff arm nets 8 yards.
Bethel gets 1st down on 4th and 1.
Flannery fighting for more yards fumbles the ball. Wheaton recovers!!!

Bethel nearing Wheaton redzone with 2 minutes left.
TD Bethel!!!
Wow... what a play call by Bethel. They've been setting up that play all game. Throw back to Flannery for 26 yard TD.

Cardiac arrest in Wheaton! Wow, talk about a punchers ballgame. Both teams just punished one another in the trenches all day long.
Says alot about both the CCIW and MIAC that these two very good teams were second in each of those conferences.

hazzben,
I was very, very impressed with Bethel even before today's game, but even more so afterwards. Love their style of play. Appreciate your posts and insights. Nice to know of someone I can ping on anything related to the MIAC or West region who will give me the objective story. Don't be a stranger to the CCIW boards.
All the best to Bethel next week. I'll be pulling for them (provided I can survive the ribbin' I'll get at church tomorrow from the Bethel alum).
Great drive by NC to start. 1 yard run for a TD set up by a 40 something yard pass on a fake option pass. 7-0 NCC after opening drive.
Stanek is 4 for 4 for 77 yards!
UWW to the NCC 12 after 1 play on a play action pass.
WOW! Neither team can defend the pass so far. Brekke is 2 for 2 for 60 yards and a TD.

Big play by NCC defense. INT in the redzone after UWW converts a 4th and 1 in NCC territory.
Yeah, Cards dodged a bullet that time! :)
It is worrisome that Coppage finally seems to have hit his stride - his first three caries had been for 2, 1, and -1 (I believe Wenger had the stop all three times).
Impressive game for Stanek thus far. 8-12 for 113. In playoffs UWW seems to be a bit soft stopping offenses through the air.
Good to see Hllavac back at full force. 4 catches for 76 yards. Huge for NCC.
NCC punts - 45 yards into redzone for touchback. Significant TOP edge to NCC thus far. 16:42 to 9:04.
NCC defense holds again. UWW punting from their own 30. NCC takes over at their 32.
Still 7-7 with under 2 minutes in the half.
Elsewhere, UMU up comfortably, 27-7 after 3. UMHB self-destructing - down 19-3, they had 1st and goal from the 3 and came away with nothing (about 2 to go in the 3rd).
Half-time in Naperville. 7-7.
NCC with a 164 to 134 total yard advantage. Not many teams have held UWW to 134 yards in a half.
Stanek is 10-14 for 123.
Coppage has 7 carries for 20 yards. Outstanding job by NCC defense.
TOP: NCC 18:34 to 11:26 for UWW.
Halftime: Cards 7, Warhawks 7.
Rushing: UWW 42, NCC 41.
Passing: NCC 123, UWW 92.
Those are a couple of TOUGH defenses (even if the pass defenses were almost non-existant early on).
Well, this is the third game in a row where UWW has had a tough, close first half. We'll see what happens if they hang tough and outlast again, pulling away. It will be interesting to see if NCC does - if they can outlast the Trine effort of 3/4 of the game. Thanks for keeping us posted.
As you can see from the other game updates, Mount Union, after a slow start has pulled away as usual. UMHB is in a closer game with Wesley and, as predicted, so far the Bethel/St. Thomas game is a close one as well.
After a 24 yard(!) sack left UMHB at their own 27, facing 3rd and 34, they got a 31 yard pass followed by a 42 yard TD run! 2 point conversion attempt failed; they are down 19-9 with about 8 minutes to go.
UWW takes the opening kickoff and is already down to NCC 25.
UWW penalties stalling the drive. 1 holding, 1 false start. Facing a 3rd and 16 from NCC 37.
UWW pass incomplete on 3rd and 16.
UWW punt downed at NCC 4. Big field position challenge for NCC.
3 straight rushes by Tassio has NCC with 1st and 10 at their 17. Well done.
50 yard completion to Hllavac. NCC in the UWW redzone. Drive started on NCC 4.
Hllavac with 6 catches for over 100 yards in the game.
50 YARD PASS!! Stanek to Hlavac, and NCC is at the 20!
32 yard FG by NCC. 10-7.
It's been talked about on CCIW ad nauseum, but this is the first time I've seen NCC in several years, and my are they fast and athletic.
Two finals:
UMU 37, Alfred 7
Wesley 19, UMHB 9
5 straight rushes to Coppage has UWW nearing midfield. Just like last week, UWW looking to feed it to Coppage big time.
Make that 8 straight rushes. UWW at NCC 43.
10-7 NCC after 3, but UWW with the ball around the NCC 6 after a NCC TO on a tipped pass by their big TE.
After NCC holds UWW and forces a punt, Stanek throws an INT. UWW takes over near NCC redzone.
WOW. INT hurt. Don't need to give UWW a short field. TD UWW. 14-10 just into the 4th quarter.
Sack and delay of game have NCC with 2nd and 22 from their 20.
Stanek fumble gives UWW the ball on NCC 40ish. UWW up 14-10. Could be the most important drive of the game.
Another turnover for Stanek. Ouch. UWW takes over on short field again. That's not going to help beat the likes of UWW.
Slowly starting to feel like UWW grinding away the momentum of this game.
UWW in the redzone again. NCC defense needs to come up big here and hold to 3 pts at a minimum.
3rd and 4 at NCC 10. Huge play.
Lost Livestats feed. DOH!
FG puts UWW up 17-10 with 6 and change left.

Phew... back into LiveStats now. NCC drive starting at their 15. Last 2 NCC drives resulted in TO's.
Just over 6 minutes remaining.
NCC hasn't had anything on offense in 2nd half other than the big pass play.
1st down NCC, now at their 25.
20 yard completion to the big TE. 1st & 10 at NCC 45.
After the TE almost loses that ball on a fumble (they ruled down by contact), a tipped pass leads to an INT be a UWW DL, takes it deep into redzone. Should about wrap this one up.
Another INT by Stanek. Not looking good for NCC. 3 turnovers in the 2nd half against the defending champion will spell your doom. Take away the turnovers and NCC wins this game.

I seem to have had the right worry - this has become the "all Coppage - all the time" show for UWW.

Yes... but 3 straight rushes by Coppage from NCC 2 and no TD yet. 4th and goal.
Coppage has 107 yards rushing, but on 29 carries. Last week he had 300 yards on 30 carries. I'd say NCC has done an excellent job stopping him.
It has been the turnovers that killed NCC.
Chip shot FG by UWW. 20-10 with 2 minutes left.
NCC needs to score quick and get an onside kick.
20-10 ... NCC needs a couple of miracles now.
Game over folks. NCC turns if over on downs. UWW will run out the clock.
Outstanding season for NCC. You took on 1 of the top 2 teams in D3 football and beat them in every category, except the one that counts - the scoreboard.
3 to 1 turnover edge to UWW led to win.
All over ... UWW wins 20-10.
Congrats to both teams for a good game and I hope NCC can look back fondly on its tremendous run this season despite today's result.
If you know anything about Coach Thorne and his past teams, they always seem to learn from defeats.
Augie down 6-0 with 8 minutes left in 1st quarter.
Looks like LiveStats is stuck.
18-6 Dubuque over Augie with 5 minutes left in the 3rd.
strong Augie drive to begin 2nd half. Dubuque up 18-7. Augie D must respond as UD offense has had their way with Cushman's 3-5 flex defense.
still 18-7 going into the 4th.
18-13 Dubuque with 9 minutes left in the game. Wish I could give more details on what is happening, but live stats is still stuck (at least for me).
Augie goes down 18-13. Not many people had that picked.
NCC up on Redlands 19-7 with 22 seconds in the 2nd quarter. NCC inside Redlands 30 yard line.
19-7 at the half. Redlands only 24 offensive plays in the 1st half, NCC with 47.
Defensive game thus far. NCC with 214 yards offense, Redlands only 124.
2 INT by Redlands.
NCC with 20:44 minutes of possession, Redlands under 9:16. Very impressive performance by NCC thus far - to travel across the country to face a very tough opponent.
Redlands takes the first drive in the 3rd quarter down the field for a TD. At least 3 NCC penalties keep the drive going. Redlands fumbles into the endzone, huge pile-up, no clue who recovers, officials ultimately give it to Redlands for a TD.
19-14 NCC, 9:07 left in 3rd.
Redland's stops NCC on 4th down in Redlands territory. Still 19-14.
Momentum swing... Redland's down inside NCC 30.
Yardage nearly equal after significant advantage by NCC in first half: 260 NCC, 230 Redlands
Near TD for Redlands on a post pattern. 1st and goal Redlands.
3rd quarter... ALL Redlands. 21-19 Redlands over NCC with under a minute in the 3rd.
Redlands had the ball for 10 minutes and nearly 150 yards in the 3rd. NCC barely 50 yards in 3rd.
Perhaps I should stop watching because it has been all Redlands since I started watching?
Start of 4th quarter, Redlands 21, NCC 19.
Redlands just stopped NCC, 3 and out.
3rd INT for Redlands. NCC takes over at midfield.
NCC takes in down the field after the Redlands turnover for a TD. 26-21 with 9:34 left in the game. Mostly on the ground with a couple of passes mixed in. Solid drive for NCC when they needed it.
Very poor tackling by NCC on special teams.
Another defensive penalty on the NCC defense keeps Redlands drive alive, instead of a 3 and out. That is 4 first downs by Redlands on NCC defensive penalties.
3rd and 10, Redlands at NCC 40 or so. ANOTHER defensive penality keeps Redlands drive alive. 5 first downs on NCC penalties.
After soo many extra chances provided by penalties, you knew this was coming. 21 yard pass completion, followed by 10 yard TD pass.
Redlands up 28-26 with 6:39 left in game.
Perfectly timed flea flicker by NCC for 25+ yards. NCC driving on Redlands, at 25 yard line.
Outstanding option by Crackel. Keeps for 17 yards down to Redlands 7 yard line. 1st and goal.
3rd and goal from 1. Kukoc fumbles, but NCC recovers.
4th and goal from 2 with 1:43 left in game. NCC kicks FG to take 29-28 lead.
Redlands starts on their 21 with 1:34 left.
4th and 10 Redlands on their 41, gotta be less than 30 seconds.
18 yard pass completion in between 3 NCC defenders. Redlands still alive. 47 seconds left on NCC 42.
Inside NCC 35... getting to FG range soon.
6th NCC defensive penalty gives Redlands 1st down at NCC 25.
Redlands at NCC 5 yard on long pass across the middle.
TD Redlands. QB ran over NCC defenders for TD. 35-29 with 28 seconds remaining.
Does NCC have a kick returner who can field the ball cleanly? I have yet to see one since I started watch just before half.
NCC has to go 80 yards in 24 seconds.
INT Redlands.
Game over. Redland's storms back for a 35-29 win over NCC.

A bit closer than I guessed it would be.
Augustana vs Central updates?
Centrals up 31 - 16 in the 4th.
Central beats Augustana 31-23 after late score and failed onside kick.
These 1st games for Wheaton always scare me. Their first opponent always has a game under their belt. Overall Wheaton had a decent 1st half, but just gave up the big play.
Wheaton leads 26-21, but the defense has played well. Albion truly has some dangerous offensive skill positions. RB Orr is a pre-season All-American and they have some scary WR's.
Orr has a 93 yard kickoff return and the Albion defense sacked Meador, who fumbled, and a 5'9" 294lb DT scooped it up for a TD. Albion had one long pass for the other TD. 3 plays... otherwise Wheaton has a comfortable lead. But they don't, and it has me pressing a bit.
Long pass from Meador to Hiben (yes, a FR WR for Wheaton) for Wheaton TD. Wheaton leads 33-21. No more big plays for Albion! Really nice to have a big, big WR. Hiben has at least 7 inches on the Albion Db's.
Wheaton putting the clamps on Orr in the 2nd half. Defense flying to the ball and showing lots of emotion.
INT for the Wheaton defense. Take over at midfield.
Meador is looking very good at QB. Looking very poised. Making smart plays and hurting Albion both in the air and with some scrambles.
Meador to Kemp for a 30+ yard TD pass. Wheaton now leads 40-21.
Meador to Watkins for a 50+ yard TD pass. Wheaton leads 47-28 with just over 12 remaining in the 4th.
Wheaton defense not looking real sharp right now. Conditioning seems to be a factor? Another long Albion drive, sustained by Wheaton personal fouls. Albion had a 4th and 15 from the Wheaton 31 and QB scrambles forever and finds a WR for a 17 yard gain.
1st and goal Albion on Wheaton 4 with 8:40 remaining. Wheaton leads 47-28.
Jordan Langs picks off an Albion pass to halt the drive. Wheaton takes over.
Wheaton mythodically drives down the field for a TD. Now leads 54-28. Really like the blocking by Hunter Thorson at the left TE. 6'6" 240lb and very agile. Much of the damage on the drive comes from Justin Swider - nice hard running.
Just back from apple pickin, so I have no details, but IWU leading Wheaton 17-9 at the half.
Looks like IWU recovered a Wheaton fumble on the opening drive, returned it to the Wheaton 5 and then scored on the 1st play after that. Not the way to start a game.
If that is the case, Wheaton did well to recover some what from such a poor start.
Following the IWU TD, Wheaton drove down and converted on a FG. So it was 7-3 IWU early in the game.
Next IWU drive was kept alive by a Wheaton personal foul, but IWU fumbled after a long pass play down deep into Wheaton territory.
IWU intercepted a Wheaton pass inside the Wheaton 20. Yikes. 2 drives starting inside the Wheaton redzone. I'd say it is lucky IWU only had 17 points.
Wheaton held IWU to a FG when the drive started on the 12 yard line. So it was 10-3 IWU very early in the 2nd.
Next IWU drive sticks it down Wheatons throat for a TD, 17-3 IWU. 11 plays, 73 yards. IWU clearly in control at that point.
Watkins returns the subsequent kick off 81 yards down to IWU 4 yard line. Next play Wheaton scores TD, but Roche misses the extra point. That was the score at half.
I don't get it. Roche can hit 50 yard FG's, but has missed 4 of his last 6 extra points. That will cost a game.
Wheaton tries a sqwib kick to start the 2nd half. IWU recovers with good field postion - their own 43.
Looking at first half stats, seems to a defensive battle. IWU has 3 sacks in first half. Both teams with under 175 yards offense in the 1st half.
IWU 3 and out to start the 3rd. Wheaton takes over on their 18.
Big holding penalty negates long run by Meador into IWU territory.
Holding penalty killed the drive. IWU punt return to Wheaton 46.
Neither team having luck running. Wheaton averaging 2.2 yards per carry, IWU 1.9.
first down IWU at the Wheaton 24, on 3 and 10.
TOUCHDOWN, Titans!!
24-9, with 5+ to go in the 3rd.
19 yard TD pass. Wheaton in a big hole now, on the road against a tough IWU team. Trouble if your a Wheaton fan. 24-9 IWU.
Sophomore QB for IWU, Gallik, having a big game. 19-24 for 210 yards, 1 TD.
Well, that certainly helped the Thunder - kickoff return all the way to the IWU 31.
Wheaton down inside the IWU 10. So much for the defensive battle, eh?
Looks like Garrett is out again. Can't seem to stay healthy. Ankle it would appear.
Another FG for Wheaton. They can't seem to cash in with TD's in the redzone. Too many FG's. 24-12 IWU.
IWU 3 and out. Wheaton take over at their 28.
I'm really impressed with the speed and physical play of the IWU defense.
3 1st downs by Wheaton, at the IWU 40.
Another Wheaton 1st down, at the IWU 25 as the 3rd quarter ends. IWU still leading 24-12.
Uh oh, Wheaton driving as the 3rd quarter ends - down to the Titan 25.
On the other hand, my team is still up by 12! ;D
(Mugsy, you must type a lot faster than I do!)
Ugh... another Wheaton penalty close to the IWU redzone. 1st and 15.
4th and 1 1/2 at the IWU 16. Timeout. Will Wheaton go for it? Swider is usually aggressive in these situations.
Play action pass, IWU defender separates ball from Wheaton receiver. IWU takes over. Big play.
Musselman is a stud receiver for IWU.
IWU will really miss starting tailback T.J. Stinde in this 4th Q as they try to run clock.
Doesn't look like they miss him to me. 2 10+ yard runs by their backup has IWU well into Wheaton territory.
Trickery by IWU double reverse with a WR pass. Interference by Wheaton. IWU in the redzone now.
INT by Wheaton in the endzone. Wheaton takes over on their 20.
Another Wheaton false start - 5th of the game I believe. IWU leads 24-12 with about 10 minutes remaining.
3 and out. Trouble for Wheaton.
In turn, IWU with a 3 and out.
Ugly run play stuffed by IWU for a 3 or 4 yard loss. 2 and 14... followed by a 3 yard sack. But Wheaton picks up first down on 3rd and 18 where Meador had all day to throw.
Check that... it was only a 15 yard gain. Wheaton goes for it on 4th and 3. Completes 9 yard pass for 1st down.
2 more 15+ yard passes has Wheaton at IWU 20.
Ugh... another Wheaton 4th down in the IWU redzone. The key to the game thus far. Wheaton's inability to convert in the redzone.
Tipped pass INT by IWU. Wheaton has had its chances tonight, but has not converted (and IWU has made the stops).
Just over 4 minutes left. IWU still leads 24-12.
1st bad pass I've seen by Gallik. Badly underthrown. Wheaton INT, has ball at IWU 29.
22 yard TD pass by Meador. We still have a game here. 24-19 with just under 4 minutes.
Wheaton pins IWU deep, inside their own 15.
BIG 3rd and 9 play coming here.
WOW... short pass play. Wheaton misses tackle and IWU bust another tackle for a 1st down.
Just over 3 minutes left. Can someone tell me why IWU is passing the ball so much?
Oh yeah... I'm the only one in here.
Ok... another IWU 3rd and 9, with 2:37 left.
Wheaton stuffs IWU run for 3 yard loss. Wheaton will get the ball with just over 2 minutes.

Um, stupidity? >:(
Wheaton takes over at their 40. First so so punt by IWU.
Wheaton 2 minute offense... not doing much. 2 plays 0 yards.
4th and 10 after a jump ball long pass. Not a pretty drive, if you can call it that.
Wheaton coaches are livid on the 4th and 10 incompletion. They obviously thought a pass interfence should have been called. Game over.
Wheaton should be kicking themselves. Too many mistakes.
Very, very close game with evenly matched teams.
Wheaton jumps on Elmhurst quickly. Leads 7-0 over Elmhurst only 1:28 into the game. Long kick return sets up the score.
4 straight 1st downs have Elmhurst down inside Wheaton 35. Elmhurst looks quick.
Wheaton holds Elmhurst on 4th and 5 from Wheaton 29.
Wheaton driving quickly. Meador had Watkins wide open for long TD, but underthrows it. Still at 25+ yard gain.
Time out Elmhurst. 3rd and 1 on Elmhurst 23
Wheaton 1st and goal @ Elmhurst 3.
On 3rd and goal at 4, Elmhurst call for pass interference, would have been a TD. So now 1st and goal @ 1.
TD Wheaton on Swider 1 yard run. Wheaton leads Elmhurst 13-0. Yet ANOTHER Roche missed extra point.
I don't get it. Roche can hit FG's all day, but is missing 30% of his extra points. This could cost Wheaton at some point.
4:39 left in 1st
Joe Furco pass intercepted by Wheaton at midfield, returned to Elmhurst 3. 15 yard sideline infraction by Wheaton moves ball back to Elmhurst 19. 1st and 10.
IWU up over NPU, 14-0.
Ugh... Wheaton had a walk in TD, but Meador way over threw receiver. No one near WR.
Wheaton runs the exact same play, this time Meador could have walked in for a rushing TD, but he decided to throw it into triple coverage. Not good decisions by Meador on this drive.
Meador hits a 25 yard FG for a Wheaton 16-0 lead.

It's like ground hog day. Same problem the past couple years for Wheaton with PATs. So far I don't recall it becoming a game losing factor. Missed one last week against IWU as I recall. Is there absolutely no other kicker Wheaton can use for PATs? May as well experiment with someone/anyone for the future. Gotta be better than 70% somewhere on the roster.

End of 1st quarter, Wheaton over Elmhurst 16-0.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!!!
3rd and 3, Elmhurst goes with bootleg, fools no one, Furco running for his life. Throws the ball out of bounds. Wheaton LB roughs the QB.
Just plain DUMB. Starting to get sick of these stupid defensive penalties to extend drives.
I can understand being aggressive, but this is a lack of discipline.
Wheaton sacks Furco on 4th and 2 at Wheaton 40. Wheaton takes over.
With a RB who is averaging 6.6 yards per carry on the season, why throw the ball when you need 2 yards?

Meador kicking??
Meant Roche. Good catch.
Thought maybe enough of Roche and experimenting with Meador. Would be an interesting option to have a QB who can kick as well.
Meador with all day to throw, as a result he is picking Elmhurst apart. 1st and 10 Wheaton @ the Elmhurst 11.
Another Wheaton TD on a 2 yard run. Wheaton leads 23-0. Wow!!!
I expected a close game, thus far hasn't been the case. Elmhurst is explosive on offensive, so Wheaton can't relax.
Carthage taking it on the chin in Decator. Millikin leads 16-0 early in the second qtr. I guess my picking Millikin in the pick-ems is proving to be well reasoned.
Two LONG passes to Elmhurst TE (51 yards in 2 catches), a bunch of missed tackles by Wheaton. Elmhurst quick TD. Wheaton leads 23-7. That was a really, really quick TD by Elmhurst. Very easy.
If Wheaton lets down, Elmhurst will score a ton.
Another long Wheaton kick return. That is 4 returns of more that 50 yards in the past 2 weeks.
TD Wheaton. Meador to Hiben for 28 yards. 6'5" Hiben had huge height advantage over Elmhurst DB - 7-8 inches. Freshman WR is making an impact.
Another missed extra point for Wheaton. This wasn't Roche's fault, bad snap broke timing on kick. Wheaton leads 29-7.
1st punt of the game with 7:40 left in the half. Wheaton takes over at Elmhurst 45. 29-7 Wheaton.
IWU over NPU, 21-3.
18 yard TD pass, Meador to Watkins. Wide open. 3rd TD pass from Meador in 1st half.
36-7 Wheaton with just under 4 minutes left in half.
Carthage showing some life. Now trailing 16-13 with 36 seconds left in the half. Carthage will get the ball to start the second half.
Wheaton holds Elmhurst again. Elmhurst shanks a 12 yard punt. Wheaton takes over on their own 32 with 1:32 left in half. 36-7
IWU scores with 20 seconds left in the half. It will presumably be 28-3 at halftime.
I presumed correctly.
I'm listenig to Greg's broadcast from NPU. They do a very good job, but if anyone knows how to contact Greg during the game, they are getting serious background noise (sounds like wind on the mike?) which at times nearly drowns out the broadcast.
Carthage turnover on first play of the second half at their own 25. Not what they needed.
Millikin quick score.....23-13 Blue. Mistakes hurt.
Carthage stops a Millikin Drive inside the RedMen 10 by recovering a fumble. Big break for Carthage.
Titans used up more than half of the third quarter on a TD drive. Vikings will have the ball for the first time, trailing 35-3.
Carthage moves the ball 97 yards in 7 plays to draw within 3. Trailing 23-20
I am going to assume carthage went to the double wing this year. they have been running it well.
Elmhurst takes opening drive down for a touchdown. Another 15 yard penalty on the Wheaton defense. Multiple 10+ yard rushes by Williams. 18 yard TD pass from Furco. 36-14.
Wheaton takes subsequent drive to Elmhurst 17, but fumbles.
After an Elmhurst punt, Wheaton drives down for another TD pass for Meador to Zellar (23 yards). Wheaton 43-14.

Mostly from the triple I. Running some option as well.
Elmhurst fumbles kick off return. Wheaton took over inside Elmhurst 30.
Roche kicks another FG. Wheaton leads 46-14.
Meador with a huge game. 29-41 for 404 yards, 4 TDs. And to think he was the backup to Jordan Roberts.
Carthage scores TDs on back-to-back possessions. First lead of the game for the RedMen. Now leading 26-23 late in the third qtr.
Looks like the PAT bug has bitten Carthage as well. Knocked the first attempt off the upright. Bad snap on the last PAT forced a 2 point attempt that failed. That 4 point lead would have been nice to have.
5th TD pass for Meador... dropped in endzone.
Wheaton 3rd and 3 at Elmhurst 5 to end 3rd quarter.
Carthage @ Millikin video...
http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/millikin.portal#
Another 25 yard FG for Roche, 49-14 Wheaton. Some one should tell Roche when he goes on for PAT's that it is really a FG. Maybe he'd make more of them.
Carthage with another big fumble recovery stopping a Millikin drive at the RedMen 36 yd line.
With 8:03 remaining, Titans score again - now 42-3.
After the last couple of years, it is great to see IWU actually making XPs and FGs! ::)
Elmhurst TD with Wheaton's reserves in. 49-21 with 13:05.
Onside kick by Elmhurst, recovered by Wheaton. Start at Elmhurst 45. 2nd team offense in for Wheaton, 13 minutes left in the game.
Carthage fakes a punt on 4th and 4 from the Millikin 43 yd line and barely picks it up. Tack on 15 more yards for unsportsmanlike conduct on Blue.
Touchdown RedMen! 33-23 Carthage with 8 1/2 to play in the 4th
Wheaton in Elmhurst redzone with reserves. Elmhurst picks off Kuhn pass.
Scottie Williams rips off another 15 yard run against Wheaton reserves. This ticks me off a bit. Pad the stats against the 2nd team with down by 28.
All Elmhurst 1st team in. So it will make it look like the game was much closer than it really was.
Elmhurst will likely end up with 400-500 yards, with 150 against reserves.
I'm highly aggrevated at the Wheaton penalties on defense. Multiple late hits, 12 men on the field, offsides... stupid defensive penalties. Mark my words, these defensive penalties will cost Wheaton at somepoint.
Ok... let's add catch interference on a punt return. Dumb.
Touchdown Carthage! Now 40-23 with a couple minutes remaining. You can mark the "W" for the RedMen. What a great effort by the Carthage players. Down 16-0 and still trailing late into the third qtr they never gave up on themselves. Big win and a must win for Carthage. A lose in the pick-ems pool I'm happy to take.
NCC at Millikin just about to kickoff
NCC on the board first, 7-0 over Millikin. Key plays: long rush (40 yards or so) and a pass to the 4 yard line to the 6'15" TE.
Corner for NCC has to be one of the most annoying players in years - #5. 3 times in the 1st quarter I've seen him in a Millikin WR's face jawing, then clapping right in his face. Ref is on the cusp of throwing a flag, hand has been on the flag.
Another TD for NCC, leading 14-0 over the Big Blue
In other action #23 Alfred loses 69-0 to #18 Salisbury. How can one be #23 in the nation and lose 69-0, unless playing Mount Union or UWW?
At least a 75 yard TD pass, NCC all over 20-0 in the 2nd.

Halftime in Elmhurst...
IWU 14
EC 9
* Scottie Williams (EC) - 19 rushes, 95 yards
* Rob Gallik (IWU) - 12-19, 198 yards passing (1 TD rushing)
I'm very impressed by sophomore QB Rob Gallik - he is just very solid. Not flashy, but just makes a lot of very accurate throws. The coaching staff does a really nice job putting him in good spots.
IWU RB T.J. Stinde is out once again. Without him, IWU's offense continues to be pretty one dimensional (thank goodness for Gallik and his receivers).
Minus the brief stretch IWU led 14-3, this has been a tight game throughout. IWU has struggled to contain Scottie Williams.
NCC scores again on a long drive, should be close to half. 26-7 NCC over Millikin.
Elmhurst with a FG on their opening drive of the 3rd Q...

Great quick decisions by Gallik. Reminds me of Fanthorpe/Kniss.

43-yard FG by Tony Angelos caps a 14 play, 6 minute drive. What a help to have a kicking game after so many seasons of struggles there.

I'm using Elmhurst's livestats (which mentions a website to watch live, though I haven't tried it). The link from the d3 scoreboard worked fine fo LS for me.
Edit: I see you got through.
went for a long run... Wheaton up 14-0 over NPU in the 3rd. Wheaton just stopped on 4th and 1 at the NPU 11.
Wheaton only has 159 yards total offense to NPU's 187. NPU has 3 turnovers to 0 for Wheaton.
Long drive by NPU ends with a missed 44 yard FG. Wheaton takes over leading 14-0. Meador only has 13 passes thus far after averaging nearly 40 in past weeks. Wonder if wind is a factor today?
Looking at the play by play, looks like one Wheaton TD came after NPU fumbled inside their own 10. Otherwise it would be only 7-0 Wheaton. Wow.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm on vacation in Wisc and it is blowing crazy. Looking at the stats I figured the wind was a factor in Chicago as well. Wheaton can't run the ball as effectively this year, which explains the closeness of the game.
Looks like Wheaton is wearing down NPU now. 2 straight long drives, pounding the rock. Inside the NPU 15 now.

When's the last time Wheaton featured 2 freshmen RB and WR?
28-0 Wheaton. TD pass from Meador to the freshman Hiben. Hiben is making a huge impact for a freshman. Be awhile since a freshman WR factored as much as Hiben.

Other than NPU's first drive of the 2nd half, looks like Wheaton has stuffed NPU offense in the 2nd half.
Jesse Geary, Freshman RB, 5'10" 220lbs from Colorado. A big tough runner. Looks like another good find for Wheaton.
Game over. Wheaton wins 28-0.

Fallfest in Door County. At my parents house... thrillin' & chillin. Went for a long run in the brutal wind just prior to Wheaton kick off in Chicago because it was the only window of time to go for it, but nothing will take me away from CCIW action.
Augie up on Carthage 19-13 with 4 minutes remaining in the game.
1:33 left, Carthage driving, at Augie 23.
1:17 left, Carthage at Augie 18. 3rd and 6.

Penalties have really hurt IWU in this one. Besides the 3 points they basically gave NCC in the final seconds of the half (mentioned above), there was an even bigger penalty earlier. On 3rd and 17 or so from their own 25 or so, NCC threw about a 5-yard pass to their big TE. The ball went in and out of the TE's hands, and the play was covered anyway (might have gone for 7-8 yards, but NCC was going to have to punt, up just 7-0)...but IWU was whistled for pass interference on what looked like a very iffy call. It was an automatic 1st down, and NCC marched down the field and scored to take a 14-0 lead.
That said, NCC has dominated this game. IWU, playing again without T.J. Stinde, has zero rushing yards. NCC has 120. To me, the most glaring factor in the game is NCC's offensive line - they're opening gaping holes. On offense, the Titans just don't even seem to have any kind of real threat of running the ball - their offense is completely on the shoulders of sophomore QB Rob Gallik.
Early in the 1st half, Rob Gallik overshot Tate Musselman on a deep ball that would have been an easy 6. That hurt as well.
So far this has looked like teams on two different levels...but IWU could easily only be down 7-0 right now. Very frustrating.

Must have been a great finish!

21-0 NCC after a long TD pass.
NCC is going to get the ball back at Wheaton's 30. Wheaton's punter was ruled down before kicking it, b/c his knee touched the ground before kicking it away. Nothing is going right for Wheaton....this game is going to get ugly
NCC looks good
Wheaton College couldn't beat Wheaton Warrenville high school today. They are playing so tight they can't execute a punt. Wheaton mistakes make it hard to tell if they are any good.
Big play!!! Wheaton needed that.
Thunder TD 21-7...that drive was a must score to stay in this game.
Nice drive. NCC defense getting major a$$ chewing on sideline- that was cool.

1st half stat that jumps out...
T.O.P. - IWU 19:44, Monmouth 10:16
So far IWU is really controlling the ball.
NCC leads 24-7 at the half. They are almost entirely forgoing the pass. Operating largely out of the wildcat
formation, the Cards are ramming the ball down Dubuque's throat, rushing for a 9.2 average.
Nick Dace's 41 yd field goal as time expired to end the half was huge.
We'll see what the 2nd half brings. I don't think NCC fans can breathe easy yet with Dubuque's high flying
pass offense and their ability to strike quickly with an entire half left.
*Biased for sure, but I think at least some of the success both NCC and IWU are having today, and will have
as the playoffs go forth can be attributed to the level of competition they face in CCIW conference play
throughout the season
*On another front, it was just announced that NCC just won yet another cross country national championship
up in Wisconsin. What new? :)
NCC just looks SO much more physical than Dubuque.
To a position they just look better conditioned and more powerful. Simply inflicting their will on the Spartans

IWU ball at own 20 or so.
Here we go again...Titans need a scoring drive.
NCC scores after a fumbled punt snap on the Dubuque 3 yd line.
They are just too much for them in the trenches. Spaulding is a nice back for the Spartans, but he's having to earn his yds as the Oline struggles against NCC's front 7.
As hazzbeen indicates, NCC scores a TD on its 1st possession of the 2nd half, then holds DU who fumbles the hike
on a 4th down punt from their own 3. NCC scores again on the 1st play after the turnover,
and now leads 38-7.
Titans can't get anything going on offense...punt again.

This was my primary concern for IWU. Their defense will keep them in games, but can their offense generate enough? The turnovers aren't helping either.

Wow, Gallik really playing like a young QB in his first playoff game. Another interception. Seems to want to hit every pass play for 6 pts instead of playing controlled, within the offense and sustaining a drive.
Ouch! It was near the Monmouth redzone. Costly turnover. That could have been the winning score.
Monmouth will have to punt from 50 with :35 to play.
OT here we come.
I don't like IWU's odds in OT vs Alex Tanney and this offense.
Take a knee and play for OT??
Overtime it is.
It'd be hard to find two halves of football, within the same game, more opposite than those two. IWU looked like it might win this game 42-0 for a while in the 1st...and Monmouth took all of the momentum in the 2nd.

Yeah... I would definitely favor Monmouths offense in a OT format. You never know... stranger things have happened. All it takes is a IWU stop and a IWU FG.
I personally like the IWU band, Very festive.
I believe IWU has 5 sacks on the day, so i would not count them out just yet,
Monmouth won toss...elects to play defense.
Winner of this one will be traveling to St. Paul to play UST. No real surprise there though...
Final in Naperville. NCC rolls 59-13. Potent Dubuque offense held to 310 yards offense. 250 yards less than their average. 2 INT's and 7 sacks for the NCC defense.
Only 8 pass attempts by NCC offense. Just crushed them into the turf. 43 rushing attempts for 411 yards. A 9.3 yard average for every handoff.

That could be a killer. Penalties and turnovers have really cost IWU. This game should have been over.
Actually not as bad as I thought since they change order of offensive possessions each OT session. So instead of 1st and 10 at the 40 for IWU, it is 1st and 10 Monmouth at the 12.
IWU elects to play defense...15 yards penalty assessed now...Monmouth at 12.
IWU has to choose if they want to play defense from the 10 yd line or start their drive from the 40 yd line. huge penalty
FG good Monmouth.
All things considered, giving Monmouth's offense the 15 yards worked out OK.
Great stop the IWU D!
Huge stop by IWU D to hold them to a FG there.
Monmouth D looking gassed
Wow... IWU rushing very effectively.
dont like the last 2 calls at all.
IWU 4th & goal from 3...timeout Monmouth...I assume IWU is kicking. If the ball was at the 2 or 1, I'd be tempted to go.
Man, those seemed like some really vanilla play calls after they got it to 1st and goal. ???
Nice stop by Monmouth though.
FG good.

Yeah, especially the run call on 3rd and goal from the 4. A bootleg pass with the option for the QB to pull it down and run seemed like it would make more sense there. Easy to say from my couch though ;D
Not sure I agree with Monmouth choosing D. it gives the IWU defense longer to rest and puts more pressure on a tired monmouth D.

Keep in mind 70+ of that came in the OT's. OT games always skew the yardage stats. Still not a terrible day yardage wise in regulation though.
Yup, Titans had them down 17-0, couldn't put them away, then too many errors, turnovers, a few key penalties going against us today. Give credit to Monmouth for fighting to the very end of OT period #3. The penalty call on the Titans in the endzone was totally absurd. Not a personal foul and not a late hit, as the receiver was still bobbling the ball. And, I would bet if there was a replay on this game, Gallik scored on that fumble, getting into the endzone and breaking the plane before the ball came out. I was in a good position on both plays, and those were very unfortunate calls, IMHO. I happen to agree with Norm's call to take the penalty and put the defense back out, then we held them to a FG, and would have won the game save for the fumble at the goal line. Our D played very very well, but the O seems to have had a short let-down in the third quarter. Again, give credit to Monmouth. They had a better running game than I expected. I was not that impressed with Tanney or Air Monmouth, and we picked him early, and held him down pretty well. The pass play that killed us was the check-off, flare out play, releasing a back as the receivers went deep. Yes, the yardages will be interesting, but of course with 3 OT periods, you have to add at least 70-75 yards to each O during those sessions. Tough tough loss, to be sure. Gallik and the Titans will have better days. I take my hat off to all the Titans, esp. the D this year, and to all the coaching staff for an excellent season, ending with this tough loss, going 9-2 for the season. Today it was a game of inches, and a few tough calls going against the Titans.
I said earlier that this game would have a hard time exceeding the OT win over Wabash two years back, well it was just as good a hard-fought, well-played game, but the outcome was very disappointing this time.
My congrats to the Scots and my appreciation and gratitude to the Titan program for an excellent year of Titan football. Heads held high.

Good start for Wheaton, leading 20-0 over BU early in 2nd quarter. Lots of match-up advantages with such tall WR's & TE's. Hiben already 5 or 6 catches with 1 TD.
Teams can not single coverage Hiben. 6'5" 220lbs, sub 4.5 40. A beast for D3.
Really solid game for Peter Jarrett as well. Very nice to see for a Sr. RB with so much talent, but injury plagued. Would love to see him healthy for the year.
one problem area to address: 1 blocked PAT, 1 blocked FG. That'll cost them when they get to CCIW schedule.

Wow, Wheaton looks really good. They look big, fast and talented. This should be a heck of a year in the CCIW.
Wheaton leading 41-0 now.
2 TD's by Meador, 2 TD's by Roberts, 2 TD's rushing for Jarrett. Overall very balanced offensive attack.
As expected (at least by me), QB's are rotating every couple series - much like years past.
BU -5 yards in 3rd quarter, so good game by Wheaton defense (46 plays, only 90 yards).
48-0 late in 4th, as Wheaton 2nd string offense marches down field against BU 1st string defense.
Wheaton defense loses shutout with 36 seconds left on 4th and goal. Final will be 48-7. Good first game.
The NCC defense is absolutely dominating UWL (they have 13 net yards and 1 first down midway thru the 2nd Q), but UWL just returned a fumble 57 yards for a TD. Score is tied at 7.
NPU trails Hope, 28-24, early in the third quarter.
IWU up 35-13 over Aurora at the half. Good to have Stinde back. Offense looks very good.
IWU70
Carthage beat what is reputed to be a very solid Adrian squad, 20-17.
Hope has a TD and is threatening to get another, midway thru the 4th; currently 35-24.
NCC and UWL traded TDs in the 3rd, but the Cards have a 1st and goal at the 6. UWL held them to a FG - now 17-14, late in the 3rd.
The NCC defense is doing fine, but better work with the offense about defense! UWL just had a Pick 6 (after having a fumble returned for a TD earlier) - Cards trail 21-17, early in the 4th.
Turnovers are killing NCC. In addition to the two UWL scores directly, the Cards' last two drives have ended with fumbles in the red zone.
Still down 21-17, about 3 minutes to go.
Looks like Augie fans could be in for another long year. Down 28-14 at half against Dubuque. For a team that has 7 returning starters on D and a coach who is supposed to be a defensive guru, Augie's D looks terrible. They have given up 4 touchdowns and over 300 yards of offense in the first half.
My bad, Dubuque missed the EP, so it's 27-14. Official stats show Dubuque putting up 287 yards in first half.
Augie goes down 39-21. Looks like more of the same from this year's version of the Vikings.
Wheaton down 3-0 early at Albion. Wheaton defense gashed by Clinton Orr on first Albion drive.
Meador not playing. Hiben not playing. Jordan Roberts will have to carry the day today.
Wheaton now down 9-0 @Albion. All running game for Albion. If Wheaton can't stop the run, they are in for a very long season.
Thunder respond with a long drive capped by a 29 yd Roberts to Morgan Cook TD pass. 9-7 w 9min to go in the 1st half.
Great drive and a Big TD for Wheaton.
Score is 9-7, Albion
Albion starts their drive on their own 3 yd line.
Wheaton D NEEDS to hold strong on this drive.
Thunder get a stop and a short field after a punt into the wind. Jordan Roberts goes up top on first play to his brother, Grayson Roberts for a 39 yd TD pass and Wheaton leads 14-9
Wheaton picks off Albion's first play and after a return to the Briton's 30 yd line have scored again via Peter Jarrett and in a 5 minute span have gone from down 0-9 to up 21-9.

19 plays, 89 yards, 10 minutes 42 seconds
Converted 2 4th downs, including 4th and goal from the one.

Wheaton's response to the Albion drive is a 9 play drive that has them down to the Albion 19. Wheaton has converted a 4th down as well.
Wheaton fails on their 2nd 4th down play of the drive. Albion takes over on their 18.
Halftime in Bloomington...

Alma 7
Surprisingly close 1st half. IWU has made a few big mistakes (INT in endzone, fumbled punt, penalty that kept an Alma drive alive) and Alma's defensive line has done a very good job containing IWU's running game. At the end of the half, IWU was driving but got stopped on 3rd & 2 and then 4th & 1 from about the 30 (both were run attempts right up the middle).
IWU gets the ball to start the 3rd Q. If the Titans can clean things up in the 2nd half they should be able to pull away.
9 minutes left to play, Wheaton clinging to a 21-15 lead over Albion. Albion has already burned all 3 time outs and has none remaining, which could prove costly.
Either a very solid Albion defense, a very bad day for the Wheaton offensive line, or Wheaton's offensive line is weak.
Wheaton has allowed 6 QB sacks today and is only averaging 3.2 yards per carry. That is not going to get it done.
Wheaton pass intercepted, Albion at Wheaton 19 with just under 4 minutes remaining.
TD Albion on, I believe, 4th & 8 with 1:30 to play.
Albion 22

Had Wheaton stopped that play, the Thunder could have kneeled 3 times for a win.

On a 4th and 9 play... Albion has converted some huge 4th downs, including 2 for TD's.
Albion leads 22-21 with 1:26 in the game.
Wheaton out to their own 43 yard line...about 1:10 to play. The Thunder have 3 timeouts remaining.
Roberts sacked...timeout. 3rd & 6 coming.
Loss of 5 yards...4th & 11 coming after this timeout.

Albion's 7th sack of the game. From what I can tell, Albion has outplayed Wheaton.
Make that 8 sacks... Wheaton OLine is getting abused.
Albion stops the play and will win the game.

NCC scores on a Stanek to Stolzenberg 48 yd TD pass on its 3rd play of the game to take a 7-0 lead.
UWS comes right back with a nice drive resulting in a field goal. NCC 7-3
Wow. following the UWS FG, NCC takes only 2 plays to score again on another 48 yd pass from Stanek to Stolzenberg. NCC 14, Stout 3
5 NCC plays. 2 48 yd TD passes.
Tassio with a 1 yd plunge for the 3rd NCC TD, followed up by a 16 yd Stout TD pass.
NCC returned a punt for an apparent TD with 39 seconds remaining in the 1st half, but it was negated by a blocking in the back penalty.
NCC 21, Stout 10 at halftime.
Wheaton takes their 1st drive in 3rd quarter for a TD. Wheaton leads 21-0 with 9:52 left in 3rd.
Roberts is 18 of 24 for 179 yards, 3 TDs
Jarrett has 15 carries for 62 yards.
Luther has less than 100 yards total offense, averaging 1.7 yards per carry on ground. Wheaton has 4 sacks thus far.
Wheaton has 1 missed FG in game.
Looks as if Wheaton is still without Meador & Hiben.
12 play, 65 yard drive by Wheaton stalls inside Luther 10 after a holding penalty. Cote 28 yard FG puts Wheaton up 24-0.
Key play was a 37 yard run by Roberts. Roberts with 220 yards passing, 50 yards rushing and 3 TD's.
Seems as if Wheaton defense is playing well (or Luther offense is weak). Luther has 26 carries for 35 yards, 29 yards came on one carry. However 5 sacks will negate some of the rushing yards.
While I was typing, Wheaton sack of Luther QB results in a fumble deep in Luther redzone. 2 plays later, Jarrett punches it in. Wheaton leading 31-0.
After 32 yard punt return by Wheaton, down to Luther 16, Roberts throws his 4th TD pass. Wheaton leading 39-0.
2nd team defense must be in. Luther marches easily down for a TD and they hadn't been able to move the ball at all for 3 quarters.
Wheaton 2nd string offense currently on a 8 play 52 yard drive.
Roberts finishes 26 of 36 for 244 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs, plus 50 yards rushing.
9 play, 70 yard drive by Wheaton 2nd team, capped off by 2 yard TD for Justin Swider. 46-7 Wheaton with 8 minutes to play.
7 sacks for Wheaton.
70 yard INT return for Wheaton. 53-7 with 5 minutes remaining.
NCC now leads Stout 34-10 with about 7 minutes remaining.
NCC's Nick Dace just made a 53 yard field goal
Well that's interesting... 36 seconds left and LiveStats shows Team loss of 45 yards, Luther takes over on Wheaton 9. HUH?

As would be expected coming off an injury. Maybe this will be close.
7-7 Wheaton & Augie in the 2nd. Shaky start for Meador after being out for 3 weeks, Roberts comes in and leads Wheaton on a TD drive.
Jordan Roberts leads 2 quick scoring drives going 5-6 for 117 yds and a TD. Hibben 5-122yds so far in the first half.

Roberts marches down the field again. 28-7 Wheaton. Roberts 10-11 202 yards, 2TDs in one quarter of play. Augie basically double teaming Hibben now which is opening up some other options. Having Mark Hibben on the field really changes Wheaton's offense.

This was a point a made in Wheaton's first game. Having a D1 caliber WR is going to open up options for other WR's...
Wheaton misses 41 yard FG before the half.
Wheaton leading 28-7 after a dominate 2nd quarter. Roberts had a huge quarter, after Meador struggles with timing. Huge to have 2 very talented QB's, if one is struggling.
Carthage over North Park, 7-0 at the half.
Wheaton with 306 yards passing in 1st half, only 46 yards rushing. Roberts 13-16 passing in 2nd quarter.
Meador is back in to start the 3rd quarter.
Nice to see Meador drive the Thunder down the field on the opening drive of the 3rd. Wheaton leading 35-7 early in the 3rd quarter.
Meador to Hiben for 39 yard TD. Wheaton up 42-7. Hiben with at least 10 catches and nearing 200 yds.

In a titanic struggle, IWU eviscerates Alma 53-7.
Not that they needed much from him, but T.J. Stinde gained a net 46 yards. 34 of those yards were on 1 play. His other 9 carries netted only 12 yards.
Maybe I missed a post above to provide more context, but why the mention of a game from Sept 8 on the In-Game Updates board?
Both Meador & Roberts are over 200 yards passing and 2 TD's each. Roberts 13 of 16 for 241 yards, all in the 2nd quarter.
Augie holds Wheaton's 2nd team on 4th and 1 inside Augie 3 yard line.
Wheaton leads 49-7 with 4 minutes remaining.
After Millikin built a 27-13 lead over IWU, it is now 27-27 with 1:38 left in the game. TD that tied the game was on 98 yard, 8 minute IWU drive. Wow...

I like the call to go for 2, but bad play calls. Especially once they got defensive holding and half the distance to the goal, run it with the QB or the 215lb RB.

Agree with that. I think you've got to get a better look than a jump ball in the corner there. Valiant effort by Millikin though. And IWU as well to come back in the second half like that. Good ballgame in Bloomington.
Despite 5 Wheaton turnovers in the 1st half, Wheaton still leading 17-10. Rare to have that many turnovers and still lead. 4 fumbles, 1 INT.
Wheaton with 285 yards offense, Carthage 108.
Make that 20-10. Wheaton drove down for a FG with less than 50 seconds.
Jordan Roberts continues to sizzle at QB. 13-15 for 122 yards and 2 TD's. Combine that will his stats from the 1 1/2 quarters he played last week and he is 30-39 for 391 yards, 4 TD's in under 3 quarters of play. That splitting time with an All-American QB.
9 different Wheaton receivers with catches in 1st half.
Meador with a 55 yards rush in the 1st quarter, Velling with 52 yards rushing as well.
Carthage had 39 plays in the 1st half, for only 108 yards (2.8 yards per play).
Interesting... Wheaton opens the 3rd quarter with Roberts at QB instead of Meador.
Roberts with another TD pass, 7 yards to Cook. Wheaton leading 27-10 early in 3rd quarter.
Surprisingly tight game between Elmhurst & Augie. Elmhurst leading 21-14.
4th TD pass for Jordan Roberts. Wheaton leading now 34-10 with 4 minutes left in 3rd.
Roberts is 21 of 23 for 199 yards and 4 TDs. Wheaton offense is really starting to jell.
Coach Rucks was touting Carthage as one of the top defenses in the CCIW. Wheaton with 400 yards offense in less than 3 quarters.
Roberts with 5th TD pass, 29 yards to Cook. Wheaton leading now 41-10 with 3 minutes in 3rd quarter.
Elmhurst leading Augie, 24-21 with 11 minutes left in the game.
North Central up 42-10 early in the 4th
SLOPPY. Carthage rushes 2, only 2 on a punt and still block the punt. Carthage starts drive at Wheaton 18.
Augie with 37 yard TD. Leading Elmhurst 27-24 with 2:36 remaining. Huge missed extra point to keep it to a 3point lead.
Many have questioned if Elmhurst has the defense to be an upper tier CCIW team. They have given up over 400 yards to a very average Augie offense.
Sam Cote with a 27 yard FG. Wheaton leading 44-10. Complete domination over Carthage. 542 yards offense to 128 for Carthage.
Elmhurst scores last minute TD, 8 yard run by Williams. Leading Augie 31-27 with less than a minute left.

IWU up over Carthage 10-0 to start the 2nd.

Roberts gets the start for Wheaton over Meador. Wheaton drive stalls in Elmhurst territory. Wheaton punt puts Elmhurst down on their 4.
2 30+ yard passes for Elmhurst has them near Wheaton redzone.
Wow... 97 yard drive easily slicing through the Wheaton defense has Elmhurst up 7-0.
3 big plays on the drive, 2 30+ yard passes and a 19 yard Scottie Williams run. 3 yard TD rush for Williams.
Gotta love the one-play scoring drives! Gallik to Garvey for a 49-yard TD on first play after a Carthage punt. As Q noted, that makes it 17-0 early in the 2nd quarter.
Wheaton has a history of really slow starts in Elmhurst. They'd better avoid that trend today. They can't keep looking to late game heroics over an improved Elmhurst squad.
north central up 37-3 at the half
Wheaton pounds the rock. 7 rushes for 75 yards. 45 yard TD run by Velling. 7-7 in Elmhurst.
Not much defense thus far. Wheaton averaging 9.5 yards per play, Elmhurst 10.0. Wheaton with 108 yards rushing, -4 passing. Elmhurst much more balanced.
After a good kick return and two straight 1st down plays (including 15 yard rush by Scottie's brother), Elmhurst already nearing the redzone.
Looks like Wheaton defense missed the bus. Elmhurst at the Wheaton 9 yard line in just 5 plays.
9 yard TD rush for Scottie Williams. Elmhurst leading 14-7 late in the 1st.
Wheaton defense is improving. Only giving up 9.8 yards per play now. ::)

14 play drive for Wheaton stalls at Elmhurst 15 yard line. Wheaton settles for a FG. Elmhurst leading 14-10. Wheaton focused on the run - 150+ yards rushing already, only 14 yards passing.
Another one-play TD for IWU - but this one was just a 3-yard run by Sean Conley, thanks to a 77-yard punt return by Tyrell Bolden! :)
Williams rips off a 12 yard and 41 yard run. Elmhurst nearing the redzone again. Absolutely shreading Wheaton D.
Williams with over 100 yards rushing already, on 13 carries.
Reggie Miller (who must have had eligibility remaining after retiring from the Pacers ;D) returns the kickoff 46 yards to IWU territory, but Carthage couldn't manage anything from there. Halftime score remains 24-0.
Holding penalty stalls Elmhurst drive. Elmhurst misses a 41 yard FG. Still 14-10 Elmhurst.
NC player being taken off the field in ambulance. Always hate to see that
First really big play in Elmhurst. Roberts completes 17 yard pass to Elmhurst 24 yard line. Elmhurst forces fumble and returns it 45 yards to Wheaton 31. BIG turnover and turnaround.
Elmhurst with 3rd and 2 from Wheaton 9. Josh Williams with 9 yard TD run. Elmhurst now leading 21-10. Williams brothers doing whatever they please against Wheaton. Just about 1 1/2 minutes before half.
Wheaton better make some serious adjustments or it may be a long, long day.

57 yard pick 6 for Elmhurst and as quickly as Wheaton took lead after trailing 21-10, Elmhurst now leads 35-24. Huge play.
Only Roberts 2nd INT of the year against 18 TD's. I'm not watching video, but would be interested if the ball as tipped or just a bad pass, not that it matters too much.
Roberts to Hiben for another 39 yards. Wheaton at Elmhurst 33.
Another long Roberts pass has Wheaton with 1st and goal.
2 yard Garrett TD run makes it 35-30 Elmhurst very early in 4th. Wheaton went for 2 but failed.
Wheaton holds Elmhurst on ensuing drive. Wheaton with ball near mid-field.
Roberts with nearly 200 yards passing in 2nd half. Both Jarrett and Velling with 100 yards rushing now.
Nothing but Jarrett & Velling rushes has Wheaton down to Elmhurst 12.
4th and 1 on Elmhurst 3.
Elmhurst is coming up with the big plays in this game. Elmhurst stuffs Wheaton for a 4 yard loss, takes over on downs, ending 13 play drive for Wheaton (all yards via rush).
Just under 5 minutes left to play.
Big play. 3rd and 5 from Elmhurst 29 with 2:48 remaining. If Elmhurst gets 1st down, they can run most of the clock off.
Williams goes for 8 yards. So much for Wheaton's top 3 nationally on 3rd down defense.
Another 3rd down & 5 coming for Elmhurst with 1:28 left.
Wheaton stops Elmhurst, will get the ball back, but without much time, needing a TD and only 1 timeout.
After 48 yard punt, Wheaton has 92 yards to go with only 1:17 to play.
Wheaton 1st and 10 at 48.
Wheaton at Elmhurst 44.

I assume it must be halftime in ecatur (neither team brought a D today). ;D (Millikin apparently forgot another D today - discipline. 7 penalties for 164 yards in the first half! Elmhurst has so far gained more yards off Millikin penalties than by their offense!)
Millikin gets a tying FG with 15 seconds remaining - looks like OT in ecatur.
The teams have combined for 84 points and 900 yards - so far!

I was watching that game UWO really had some great plays combining option style running game while having a huge passing offense. One time the quarterback faked an option pitch and threw the ball. I love it when teams incorporate option style offense with non option style to have the discipline line play and great fakes of the option while having big play passes with various quick tosses to the WR.

Iwu fumbles the ball back to Wheaton. They take over at the Titans' 40.
Since the fumble, Wheaton has missed a FG, IWU has thrown an INT; fortunately the clock is running down!
I'm cautiously optimistic, but the Titans are hanging on by the skin of their teeth. ;)

Wheaton scored following an INT.
Good grief. Why does Wheaton run any play that doesn't end with "chuck it up to #4"? That play is unstoppable.

Finishing strong is better than starting fast. I know I'm out of my normal region, I just wanted to pass along congrats to the Thunder from Minnesota. Great game!

Not so fast. Still the whole 4th quarter and Elmhurst is tied with Carthage at 14.
Check that... Elmhurst with a burst now leads 24-14.
I predicted this Wheaton thumping if you all recall.
Quick strike by NCC on 47 yard pass. 28-14 with 14 minutes left.
Personal foul by Wheaton negates a 3rd and goal from NCC 1, instead looking at 2nd and goal at NCC 16.
Wheaton gets 15 yards on next play to get to NCC 1, but then misses a 18 yard, chip-shot FG. UGH!
7:37 left in game. Wheaton leaving a lot of points out there due to redzone turnovers and missed FG. At least they are burning the clock.
Wheaton's Dansdill sacks Stanek and returns it 72 yards for TD. Wheaton leading 35-14 with 4:55 left.
Augie wins 22-7
Wheaton returns a fumble 72 yards for a touchdown to pretty much seal their win vs NCC. This after missing a FG from 18 yards out which would have made it a 3 score game. 35-14 with about less than 5 min. left
Augie has quietly turned their season around. Seems like they have played much more solid football since Wheaton beat them 49-7.
NCC drives down quickly on 10 play drive to make it 35-21, Wheaton likely playing "soft", no-risk defense to burn as much clock as possible since they had 3 score lead.

Wheaton needed a 20 pt win for the AQ. A great win but a horrible mistake by not protecting that lead. NCC wins the AQ if all three win out.
I totally forgot about the tiebreaker.

North Central leading 23-6 at the start of the fourth quarter and the Cards are driving again.
Cards outgaining Augie 192-95 overall, and the Vikes have just three rushing yards.
Long td to hiben. 34-7 Wheaton
Elmhurst totally dominated the first 29 minutes, then things got wild! Down to the Titan 10 with a chance to virtually ice the game at 21-0, Furco was sacked for a 10 yard loss, and the forced fumble went another ten yards. The Titan offense, who had done nothing all day, proceeded to go 58 yards in 47 seconds, but had to settle for a FG.
At the half, Elmhurst 14, IWU 3.
Heidelberg 35 Baldwin Wallice 34. Heidelberg still in front of Wheaton in Pool C.
NCC 37, Augie 6 final
Opening drive in 3rd,TD wheaton. 2 amazing catches by Cook. 41-7
Likely pretty much over in Elmhurst - late in the 3rd the Jays scored again to make it 28-10. With no Gallik or Stinde, I just don't see IWU scoring 3 TDs.
Perhaps I was too hasty in throwing in the towel! It took the Titans barely 3 minutes to score and pull within 28-17, just seconds into the 4th.
Huntingdon loses to Adrian 17-16. Pat had them getting picked in pool c if they won.

WAY too hasty! With 8:33 to go in the game, IWU took 46 seconds to go 72 yards for a TD; now 28-25! ;D
(And before I can even hit 'post', I find the lead is back to 10. :P)
Titans answer with a TD with 2:08 remaining. PAT is blocked and the Elmhurst lead is four at 35-31.
Jays recover the ensuing onside kick.
The Titans got the three more TDs I didn't think they could do, but it may not be enough.
Elmhurst recovers the onside kick, so IWU will be forced to burn all their timeouts even if they can make the stop.
Jays convert on third and long with a pass and it is back to the ground. Titans use their final TO with 1:44 remaining.
Yeah, even one first down and the game was gonna be over. IWU ALMOST got the stop!
Jays convert on fourth down again and now can run out the clock. Final. 35-31.
55-7 Wheaton. Congrats on co-championship.
Elmhurst leading 3-0 over Coe with 2 minutes left in first quarter. Scottie Williams with 82 yards rushing already, 61 on one play. Coe stopped Elmhurst with 1st and goal from 2 yard line, Elmhurst settles for FG.
Elmhurst defense stops Coe deep in Elmhurst territory on 4th and 2. Coe driving again.
Coe ties it up at 3 on 23 yard FG. Early in 2nd quarter.
5 yard TD run by Coe. Leading 10-3 with 9 minutes until half.
Coe 17
Elmhurst 13 at the half
Coe with 305 yds (Leiran 24 carries for 130 yds; 151 yds passing)
Elmhurst with 198 yds (Scottie W 16 carries 115 yds; Furco 7/10 for 66 yds)
As expected so far. Not much defense.
Jays up 27-24 with three minutes and change to play.
Cards up 24-0 late in the first quarter. Turnovers and big plays killing CLU.

Cal Lu's DB's having to be so active against the run is killing Cal Lu. The key to this game so far has been NC's ability to run the ball. Its opened up some downfield throws.
That is no surprise. NCC rushes for over 200 yds a game and CL has given up more than 200 a game.
Final - Elmhurst 27, Coe 24.
St. Thomas is up big on St. Norbert, so it's off to the Twin Cities next.
Congrats to the Jays on the inaugural playoff win!
I think that's the first time I've EVER seen 11 guys cover a pitchout before. All white to the ball.

They might as well replace their SS with a LB with as much as he is up there in the box.
that was a big time throw from the 2 yard line coming out. Again, Cal Lu had their safeties out up and NCC obviously loves having their WR's in one on one match ups.
what a turn of events for NCC Looks like CLU was about to get back into
Nice long FG.
27-7
These student CLU announcers are annoying.
Dace with a 49 yard FG as time expires and the Cards lead 27-7.
The fumble on fourth-and-one from the one was huge. Big difference between 27-7 and 24-14.
luckily, I lost the sound on the feed. I think the color guy is an ex player for SMU. Keeps referencing that, but yes they are very annoying.

CLU punts to open the second half, and NCC follows with a drive and a 13-yard TD pass. Cards firmly in control at 34-7.
Linfield over PLU 20-7 at the half after trailing early.
End of 3rd - Cards lead 34-7.
PLU has narrowed Linfield's lead to 20-14 and is driving late in the third. PLU has outgained Linfield but has committed four turnovers.
Obviously the Cards would love PLU to knock off Linfield as it would result in NCC hosting next week.
41-7 with 11:36 remaining.
PLU settles for a field goal after having first and goal from the two. Linfield leads 20-17 with a minute remaining in the third.
I realize it's tough to make two flights West - especially on Thanksgiving - but it would be worth your while to get to McMinnville, Oregon, if LINFIELD can stop trying to give the game away.
DOC,
Looks like you are going to get your wish for next week. Should be a great game as long as Linfield holds on vs PLU.
Final - North Central 41, CLU 21.
Linfield goes up by 10 but PLU is not going away - 13 yard TD run on a 4th-and-1 caps a 14-play, 78-yard drive.
Linfield leads 27-24 with 5:25 remaining and PLU set to kick it off.
Linfield converts a first down to move the chains. 3:35 remaining. PLU out of timeouts.
USee....IF.
This rivalry has been crazy over the years.
PLU holds and after a punt takes over at their own 23. No timeouts remaining. 1:33 remaining.
Sacked back to the 8 yard line. 1:27 remaining.
Completed pass and a face mask on Linfield moves the ball to the 34 yard line. 1:09 left.
Linfield holds on fourth down with under a minute left. Cards will head West again next week.
Are we there yet? ;D

Not sure what he was thinking.
Elmhurst is moving the ball very effectively in the first half against a supposedly stout defense. Just a matter of a key turnover for a TD and then a defensive lapse (which was a concern coming into the game).
Will be interesting to see how they respond.
Elmhurst defense needs to keep St. Thomas from scoring with 4 minutes left in the half. Elmhurst needs to quiet the momentum and get some confidence on defense. Going into the half with a 21-14 deficit is much easier to overcome than 28-14.
It feels like Elmhurst is in huge trouble in this game. It all turned on that one play.

I'm not optimistic. Elmhurst's best defense is limiting possessions with their offense.
Big FG attempt by St. Thomas. Their kicker isn't great.
He misses 33 yard attempt. I believe they are hitting on just over 50% of FG attempts. That will hurt them later in playoffs, if they can get past a gusty Elmhurst team.
21-14 at the half.

Who gets the 2nd half kickoff?
Not 100% sure since I joined the telecast 6 minutes into the game. I believe St. Thomas had the ball first on a long drive that stalled on a key penalty. That leads me to believe Elmhurst will have ball first in 2nd half.
Interesting result thus far (at least to me) is Bethel up on UW-Oshkosh 14-7 at the half. Looks like a dominant defensive game thus far by the Royals. Only 118 yards offense by UWO. Bethel QB is 15-17, where only 2 missed passes were INT's.
I would have liked to have seen Elmhurst go for it when they were 4th and 5 at the Tommies 35 up 14-7. Even if you put it at 50/50 for the conversion worst case is you are still giving them another possession with the difference of only 20-30 fewer yards. You convert and have the potential to take away a possession from a good offense and go up 21-7. I think that's the mentality you need in a game like this.
Results today seem to support the big names vs. "the rest". Mount Union up huge, UMHB up big, Wesley up big...
Hopefully NCC can stop that trend with Linfield, though I don't see Linfield in the same realm as Mount Union, UMHB and Wesley.
Big Elmhurst offensive possession upcoming (assuming they get the kick). Would like to see a bunch of Scottie and then a play action deep ball.
Anyone else having problems with the video? I've lost it and can't get it back.
Ah... finally got it back.
I've lost video too!

Big roughing the punter penalty on St. Thomas. 1st down Elmhurst. Big.

Williams has not had the usual number of carries. The man has nearly 2000 yards and it a primary reason why you are in the 2nd round. Give him the ball.
This defensive drive by Elmhurst will tell us all we need to know about the rest of this game.
3rd & 11 upcoming for St. Thomas. Big play, need a stop.
Huge mistake by Elmhurst defense. Should have been a sack. Instead a first down on QB scramble.
After a big chop block penalty on St. Thomas, another big 3rd and long for the EC D.

Seems like the 1st carry for Scottie Williams in the 2nd half as the 3rd quarter expires. Almost goes to the house, if not for a shoe string tackle. 14 yard gain.
Shifting over to listening to IWU basketball with EC and NCC football video up. Good luck to both CCIW teams!
4th and 11 Elmhurst at Tommies 30 or so. Two straight near sacks by St. Thomas. Trying to figure out why Elmhurst has abandoned handing it to Williams.

Thank you!! :) I'm rooting for the Blue Jays!!
Nice play action pass on 4th and 1. 1st down jays.
Cards win the toss and receive. Drive stalls at midfield and they punt.
Linfield picks up one first down and now punts. Cards take over around their own 31.
3rd and 6 at St. Thomas 16.
Elmhurst WR had the ball in his hands in the endzone, but drops it. Would have been tough catch.
St. Thomas stops Elmhurst on 4th and 6 on short pass. Not sure why you don't throw pass that is at least 6 yards. 3 minutes left.
Just over 2 minutes left. 2nd and 8, St. Thomas near mid field.
North Central picks up one first down but then punt. Linfield takes over at their own 10.
Still scoreless. 4:46 remaining in the first.
Elmhurst will get the ball back. St. Thomas QB runs out of bounds instead of staying in bounds. Could be a huge play since Elmhurst has no timeouts left. Will likely have just around a minute to get the tying TD.
Linfield goes 3-and-out. Cards take over at their own 45.
NCC winning the field position battle in the early going.
Elmhurst will need to go 80 yards for the tying TD in just over a minute.
Kukoc opens the drive with a 26 yard run. Cards inside the Linfield 30.
St. Thomas takes over on downs. Elmhurst goes down 24-17. This was a game Elmhurst could have won.
NCC misses a FG. 2 minutes left in 1st quarter.
Fourth-and-two at the 19 and Thorne elects to attempt the FG. Dace misses wide left from 36 yards out. Still scoreless.
Linfield driving right down the field to end the 1st quarter. Mostly through the air. 0-0. Linfield at the NCC 10.
Linfield drives down the field quickly and is just inside the NCC 10 as the first quarter ends. All but the last few yards came via the air.
Right - what Mugsy said.
Linfield TD negated on offensive pass interference.
Linfield TD on next play on post route. 7-0 Linfield.
Nice drive thus far by NCC in answer to Linfield TD. 1st and 10 at Linfield 40 or so.
Stanek throws a pick-six on 4th and 2.
Pick 6 by Linfield on 4th and 2 at Linfield 30. Horrible pass by Stanek, horrible play call by NCC. 14-0 Linfield.

Which has happened all too often in the playoffs. NCC coaching staff does NOT have a good track record in the playoffs.
Huge momentum shift. From the video I don't think Stanek saw the defender. Pass was intended for someone 5-8 yards further upfield, and the defender stepped into the passing lane and made the play.
Cards need to at least pick up a couple of firsts or this could get out of hand quickly.

Not a huge fan of the play call, even if Stanek didn't see the defender.
Another NCC turnover. Stanek really struggling. 6-14 for 50 yards, a pick 6 and a fumble. NCC having success pounding the ball, but they don't seem to want to force Linfield to stop them on the ground. Much like the Wheaton game.
Huge turnover. Stanek mishandles a snap from the shotgun and Linfield recovers at the 37.
Quote from: Mugsy on November 24, 2012, 03:48:55 PM

No argument from me on that.
NCC holds Linfield to a FG. 17-0 Linfield. NCC needs to ride Kukuc and get 7 points before the half.
There is plenty of time in the game for NCC to go back to a pounding run game. Everything bad is happening with the pass or refusal to keep pounding the middle.
Cards have outgained Linfield and have a 2-1 advantage in time of possession. The two turnovers are the big difference.
Pounding the rock sets up play action pass. NCC down to Linfield 2.
Long pass to Kukuc sets up first and goal at the 3. Pass was almost picked off before the catch.
Why?????
NCC is silly. Take the snap, hand it off on a dive and score, that's all the coaching they need to do.
And then they turn it over again.
Oy. The Cards are their own worst enemy today.
Fumble on first play after the long pass is recovered by Linfield.

I don't get it. You have a running back who is averaging nearly 8 yards a carry on the season and has nearly a 100 yards in the first half against Linfield, and you attempt to get "cute" instead of handing it off to him. I would go a step further than silly and suggest stupid.
I do have to say... the multiple-angle camera coverage and replay ability for the Linfield broadcast is a nice setup.
17-0 at the half. A deficit, but not insurmountable if they can put together a turnover free half and focus on the run.

Uh-uh. He's not played well, but you win and lose as a team.
Kukoc has been a one man show in a losing effort. 105 yards rushing, 51 in receptions.
Not to over simplify things, but this 1st half has turned on 3 sequences. After a missed FG by NCC, Linfield goes on their one long drive of the day for an 80 yard TD drive - all through the air.
NCC goes on another long drive, mostly on the ground before a 73 yard pick 6 for Linfield.
Then NCC fumbles in their own territory, leading to the Linfield FG.
Not to take anything away from Linfield, as they've been opportunistic, but NCC is beating themselves.
Oh yeah... how could I forget the NCC fumble on 1st and goal from Linfield 3?
NCC has their work cut out for the them. The 2 huge turnovers in the 1st half while going in to score are mistakes that have plagued them in big games. I simply don't understand why Jeff Thorne keeps putting Stanek in situations to make plays in key situations. The 4th and 2 Pick 6 play call was foolish. Linfield had a 3 man D-line. Run the ball. The goal line fumble was poor execution at a critical time. NCC can come back but the deck is stacked against them at this point.
Linfield hasn't been able to run it at all but their pass game isn't struggling vs the NCC secondary. If NCC doesn't score early in the 2nd half this could get ugly.

Linfield definitely stacking the middle a bit more in the 2nd half to stop Kukuc.
Cards need a score or two, obviously, but a takeaway would help the momentum as well. Not necessarily on the next possession, but so far the Cards are the only one making mistakes and that would change the dynamic a bit.
Turnover! Cards recover.

You got your wish. NCC sacks QB, who fumbles and NCC recovers.
Another Stanek INT. Oh boy... Can some one tell Coach Thorne he has one of the top rushing attacks in the country?
Two plays later... Stanek throws a pick. DB jumped the route on an out pattern.
NCC is done in my view. They are in love w Stanek and he is losing this game.
Unbelievable! >:( Why bail on the run? There's plenty of time!
Not going to happen today...
WR gets behind the secondary... and Linfield gets a 64 yard TD. This one is essentially over.

There WAS plenty of time. File this offensive gameplan under stupidity!
Hard to believe even another interception....He does throw a very nice ball...just to the wrong guys...
Seriously. I think I just saw Kukoc punch Thorne in the face.
Linfield drives and converts the turnover into a TD. PAT is blocked but it is 30-0 and counting.
So many wasted opportunities today. Much of the damage was self-inflicted, but kudos to the Wildcats for having a fair amount to do with that.

Kukuc with 32 and 15 yard TD runs. It's now 30-14 with 14-and-change remaining.

Well, neglecting an effective rushing attack, allowing two TD passes (one of 64 yards) and 5 turnovers in critical situations will do that.

HA. No way Kukoc called the last three plays though. Pass, pass, pass.
... and here comes the ancillary effect of having to drop back and throw on every down. Linfield has a tremendous pass rush and Stanek is starting to see more pressure on every down.
Kukoc refuses to be uninvolved, great pass blocking by him.
The announcers said that Stanek has had a game he will not want to remember. Granted he threw a bunch of picks, but isn't that to be expected a bit when you ask a player to do more than he is capable of? I'd much rather have seen Kukoc fumble 5 times.

Just out of curiosity, which announcers are you listening to? Linfield's audio are the good announcers while the video are some students who are well...students.
Stanek just took off his pads, walked to the Linfield sideline, and is slapping high fives, chanting WE WANT MOUNT WE WANT MOUNT WE WANT MOUNT.
Looks confused.
The last time I saw NCC with 5 turnovers in a playoff game was against Capital in 2005 at NCC...

Emma, you need to alert the WIAC board about the wonky video feed for next week's game.
SEVEN TURNOVERS!! NCC had more first downs and much more total yardage, but SEVEN freakin' TOs - sheesh! :o
If Linfield had Kukoc, they'd be heavily favored in the Stagg! 8-)

AU scored in the final seconds of the 1st half after a long drive.
At the half, Gallik is 11 of 13 for 197 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Not too shabby! :o
Aurora was ranked #143 by D3FB in the kickoff. Picked middle of the pack in a bad conference. I wouldn't have expected much of a fight.

With less than a minute remaining in the 7th game.
Still no score in the IWU/Hope game, NC up 6-0.

Mine keeps buffering and skipping, and yes wish we could get with it and add the radio broadcast like most schools do. I mean beggars can't be choosers, but it feels a little bush league in B-town compared to other schools broadcasts.
Just pull up the WJBC broadcast -- it syncs up pretty nicely. Eric Stock does a great job on play-by-play.

Just refresh the video.
At the half, IWU 14, Hope 7.
Just before the half, Titans got it to the Hope 16, but Gallik got sacked for 10, and the FG attempt bounced off the crossbar.
Never had this problem before: after being fine the whole game, about three minutes ago the video has started buffering literally every two seconds! Live stats is now two plays ahead of the video! :P
Still IWU 14, Hope 7, about 5 to go in the game.
Per Live Stats, IWU wins 14-7. Per the video, they still have the ball before they punted, Hope ran 5 plays before throwing an interception, then IWU ran out the clock! The video IS showing all the action, but I'd be here at least another hour before the video reached the end of the game! :P
Welcome to week 1 in the CCIW! We have some ballgames going on right now. Millikin and IWU are knotted up at 14 at the half, while Elmhurst has just scored to equal NCC at 7 in the 2nd. Josh Williams made an unbelievable run on 4th and goal for the score.
North Central answers 3 plays later after a failed onside kick try by Elmhurst. NCC 14-7

Upset alert - North Park is up 10-0 against Carthage midway through Q2.
Another one is also possible: Millikin leads IWU 21-14 mid-way thru the 3rd.
21 all now in Decatur. Sounds like both teams are having lots of success running the football on the muddy track.
NCC was moving the football late in the 2nd quarter, but fumbled a shotgun snap which was caught out of the air by a Elmhurst defender and returned 50+ yards for a score. 14 all late 2nd quarter in Elmhurst.
HALFTIME SCORES:
North Central and Elmhurst tied at 14.
Per Titan Pride's note below, Elmhurst gets the defensive score with 12 ticks left to tie the score.
---
North Park leads Carthage 10-3.
NPU missed a field goal in the waning seconds that would have extended the lead.
---
SECOND HALF SCORES:
Wheaton all over Augie 24-0 in the third.
---
Titans and Big Blue tied 21-all with 2 and change left in the third.
carthage-3, north park-10
Wheaton in a lightning delay up 24-0 in 4th quarter.
Elmhurst now in a lightning delay before the start of the 3rd tied 14-14 vs North Central.
Paul Panno picks off Pippen! Returns it for a TD and IWU now leads Millikin 35-21 with approximately 5 min left in the game.
North Park-16, Carthage-3
IWU hangs on 35-21. Final.
Carthage-17, North Park-16. It looks like everyone in the area is in a rain delay.
Ferocious storms in the western suburbs. Lightning delay at Langhorst.
14 - 14 @ half. Sloppy day for the Cards. Inspired effort from the Jays
The video of the Elmhurst field looks like it is flooded in areas. Surprisingly the Wheaton field looks pretty good. I still remember the ball floating on the field vs Bethel.
Game to restart at 5:15.
2 Augie TD's in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter against Wheaton's 2nd string defense, including 30+ yard bubble screen on 4th and 8 with 36 seconds left. Makes this game look much, much closer than it really was. Not a good game by Jordan Roberts - 2 INT and 1 fumble
Completely dominant performance by 1st team Wheaton defense, Wheaton offense has thrown in very effective wildcat package.
Way too many penalties by Wheaton. At one point in 3rd quarter Wheaton had more penalty yards than Augie had offense.
Augie recovers 2 onside kicks with under 2 minutes left - RIDICULOUS!
Just a brutal officiating crew.
Final was 24-15.
Augie with 282 yards in the game - 170 in last 8:25 of the game against Wheaton's 2nd string defense.
Cardinals come out in the 2nd half ready to play after the delay. It appears Murray has made some adjustments to stop the run. Cards up 21-14 and Dierking just picked off a pass and returned to the +16.
Carthage gets a pair of TDs -- the second on a one-play, 53-yard drive -- to take a 17-16 lead against NPU.
The two teams exchange three-and-outs, but NPU fumbles on the ensuing Red Men punt. Carthage recovers and adds a FG.
Carthage 20 NPU 16 with momentum clearly pointing North of the Cheddar Curtain as we enter the fourth.
North Park 22 Carthage 20 4:16 left in 4th
NP missed extra point.
North Park with the ball, the lead, and 3:37 remaining.
NP interception
NP ball with 3:37 left
Carthage gets the ball back at midfield with 2:59 left.
They have used at least two of their timeouts at this point.
Three straight incomplete passes. Fourth and 10 for the Red Men.
NPU gets the ball back. 2:44 remaining and leading 22-20.
Final NPU 22, Carthage 20!!!!!!
Much like last week Wheaton is totally dominating, but scoreboard doesn't fully reflect it. Wheaton leading 14-0 with a minute left in the 1st half.
Much like last week a hour long lighting delay.
Much like last week Wheaton with multiple personal fouls in 1st half. >:(
Wheaton 1st half drives:
6 plays, 27 yards, 2:50 Punt
12 plays, 65 yards, 4:50 TD
10 plays, 74 yards, 3:56 Missed FG
18 plays, 75 yards, 8:08 TD
Wheaton 271 yards
Carthage 63 yards
Augustana 21, Elmhurst 7 in the 3rd quarter. The Augie option is eating up the 'jays, as QB Sam Frasco racked up 105 yards and 2 TDs in only 12 rushes. Williams has only touched the ball three times for Elmhurst, which I don't get. One of those three times was a 54-yard TD run.
Augie's used some trickery that has paid off. They successfully pulled off a fake punt from their own 30-yard line that set up a TD, and one of the touchdowns was off of an option reverse.
Stelzriede sneaks it in from the one, and after the PAT it's AC 21, EC 14, halfway thru the third.
EC settles for a field goal after a first and goal from the nine. AC 21, EC 17, with ten minutes and change remaining in the game.
AC 28, EC 17, halfway thru the fourth quarter.
NPU @ IWU finally getting ready to start.
Wheaton leads 14-0 over Carthage. Starting 4th quarter.
Well, that didn't take long. The Titans scored on the opening drive in less than two and a half minutes, and NPU's already down, 7-0.
31 yard TD pass from Roberts to Wasco. Wheaton leads 21-0 early in 4th.
4th 10+ play drive by Wheaton. 28:42 to 18:07 time of possession advantage.
Carthage cross mid-field for 1st time in game with 12 minutes left in game.
Wheaton with over 10 penalties, yet again...
Another quick TD for Wesleyan.
Augie wins, 28-17.
3rd rushing TD by Jesse Geary. This one from 31 yards.
Wheaton leading now 28-0.
Wheaton subs in now. Carthage with 127 yards offense for game against starting defense - only 26 yards rushing. Another very strong showing for the defense.
And of course now Carthage is driving.
My only concern with the Wheaton defense is the lack of pass rush. No sacks again today.
Final in Kenosha. 28-0 Wheaton.
The Titans are gonna kill those poor cheerleaders! They do push-ups to match IWU's score after each TD - so barely 17 minutes into the game they have already done 105 push-ups. :o Early in the 2nd quarter, IWU 35, NPU 0.
The livestats operator apparently resigned after 5:14 - they still read 7-0. >:(
Bluejays hanging tough at McCully. 7-0 @ half. EC D has completely derailed the Thunder ground game. Roberts has been the best player on the field, but the Jays have been steady, forcing 4 first half punts.
North Central 42
North Park 0
Augustana 47
Millikin 19
IWU's offense is sputtering badly so far, but the defense has been as stout as usual, resulting in a 10-3 halftime lead. Just before the half, the Titans had 1st and goal at the five and had to settle for a FG. The only real highlight was a 65 yard TD reception by Tate Musselman.
Titans finally starting to pull away; now up 24-3 w/ about 12 minutes left.
After 1 quarter, IWU3, Wheaton 3, but Wheaton is in the redzone.
Titan defense stiffens and take over on downs at the 4. Offense goes 3-and-out, but the punt reception is fumbled and IWU has the ball at about the 35. Still 3-3.
Gallik is intercepted at the 48; it's brought back to the 30. Three plays later it was still at the 30. FG attempt was wide right, so still 3-3.
Gallik to Garvey on a 10-yard TD pass!! ;D IWU up 10-3.

Great game...both teams playing hard. IWU looks to go up two scores.
A Michael Kelley FG with 21 seconds makes it 13-3. Sam Cote answers with a 53-yard FG with no time remaining.
At the half in B'town: IWU 13, Wheaton 6.
4 minutes into the 2nd half, a Michael Kelly 33-yard FG makes it 16-6.
Yet another Gallik INT deep in own territory. Wheaton punches it in - 16-13 w/ just under 6 remaining in the third.
Illinois Weslyan is looking very tough today...
3-yard TD pass makes it 23-13! (Livestats is running slow, so not sure who got it.) Key play on the drive was a Gallik to Musselman 27-yard pass on 4th and 3 at the 30.
When things looked so good for IWU to fumble the Kickoff...yikes
Oops - the 'elite defense' IWU has displayed all day, suddenly crumbled, and Wheaton gets an answering TD in less than 2 minutes (the extra point was either shanked or tipped). 23-19 w/ 12+ remaining. (Key play was a 41-yard pass by Roberts to Lindquist.)
Jones then fumbles the kickoff, IWU is called for pass interference in the end zone, so it is Wheaton 1st and goal at the 2. :(
My apologies to the defense. Jeff Jerome strips the ball at the 5 - Titan ball!
THE DRIVE!!! 17-play, 95-yard TD drive, and almost as importantly, took the clock from 10:44 to 2:34!! The TD itself was a thing of beauty - Gallik set up to throw, then pitched pack to Stinde at the last second: Stinde went 22 yards untouched into the end zone. ;D
North Park goes up 7-0 on Augie on their first play from scrimmage, a 71-yard pass from TD Conway to Cody Hood.
Now 14-14 in Rock Island early in the 2nd quarter... looks like it could be a real shootout.
North Park leads 45-28 with 6:54 to go in the fourth quarter.
Wow, go North Park! ms iwu'70
At the half its NCC 14 Wheaton 13. Wheaton missed an extra point and a 43 yd fieldgoal. Thunder doing a very good job running the ball with 156 yds at half. Roberts is 6-7. Wind a big factor

That was a clutch FG after missing a couple of extra points and two tries at 2 points. Good job, Vikings!
Wheaton leads NPU 34-0 with 12 minutes left in the 2nd. Surprisingly lopsided score given how banged up the Thunder are.
Titans go up 14-7 w/ 3:29 left in the half. TD was 13 yds, Gallik to Musselman, but the big play was a 32-yd race down the right sideline on the first play of the drive.
And that is now the halftime score in B'town.
41-0 Wheaton over NPU at the half.
No livestats and the 2nd half webcast link is a dead link.

Possibly drama in Bloomington but I bet the Titans will roll in the 2nd half and finish 9-1 and grab a playoff berth.

Yeah, the big play was a 34-yd pass (Camillere to Hamby) to the IWU 13. The next play it looked like Williams ran it to the 3, but it was called off due to holding. They managed to reach the 10, but had to settle for a 27-yard FG.
Hardest part as a Wheaton fan is that Albion is going to make the playoffs. A team that Wheaton beat 66-0!
On the other hand, Albion's win almost certainly give Wheaton a win over a RRO. All you need now is a miracle finish by DePauw to keep hope alive! :o

That hurts!
IWU off to a tough start - with 2+ remaining in the first, they trail 7-0. The offense was off to a horrible start - their first three 'drives' saw Gallik go 1 for 4 for -1 yd; Devonte Jones had two rushes for 2 yds.! Gallik has come out of it a bit (now 3 for 7 for 32 yds), but Jones still in a funk - now 4 rushes for -4 yds.! :(
Wartburg up 14-0 in Bloomington. It has been a dominant performance so far by the Knights. Have run for 120 yds and thrown for 35. IWU has just 31 yds of offense with 12min to go in the half. IWU has had no answer to the Wartburg running game and the Knights have been more physical up front on both sides.
NCC - 21
Albion - 0
NCC with a TOD and lost fumble..but still up 21-0 in the 2nd.
Warburg looks like a lot better team than IWU.
2 NCC defenders came together after a run by the Albion QB, looked like they went helmet to helmet. One still down....and I THINK its Slezak (can't tell from the fuzziness of the feed). Would be a huge loss for NCC.
Edit - It was indeed Slezak. Guessing concussion. Hopefully it's mild and he is available next week.
NCC with a score on an Albion punt.

I need to stop flipping away from the feed. Not sure what happened.

I should be a professional play-by-play guy.
NCC fumbles into the Albion endzone, picked up by Albion. Still 35-0.
Half:
Wartburg 21

Wartburg has just completely dominated every phase of this game. And two Rob Gallik turnovers have hurt matters - an INT on IWU's opening drive at about the WC 30, and then a fumble with IWU driving at about the WC 30 (big hit from the blindside).
WC gets the ball to start the 3rd Q. From what I've seen, Wartburg is better than IWU, has a lot better gameplan, and is executing their gameplan much better.
Surprising.

I agree. Wartburg has been much more physical than the Titans and the athleticism of the Wartburg LB's has really troubled IWU. Without the IWU turnovers This game is much closer but Wartburg has dominated.

NCC with a score on an Albion punt.
28-0, still in 2nd.
Just to be clear, this was not a punt return for a TD.
Kevin Schroeder blocked an Albion punt, and Jason Callahan picked it up and ran it in from the Albion 29.
Really thought the Titans would play better -- very poor offensive execution in the first half, D on the field far too long -- 2 TOs, and Wartburg playing very well, very crisply. Titans do look lackluster for some reason. Result = 21-0 down at the half.
It is VERY cold out there.

When it rains, it pours (or today, perhaps I should say when it snows, it blizzards): Gallik just fumbled into his own endzone, Wartburg recovered for a TD! 28-0. :(
35-0
It has moved from the embarrassment category to just plain silly now.
Hey, aside from having no rush defense, no offense, and now fumblitis*, the Titans are playing well. :(
*The Titans were finally putting together their first real drive of the game, when Chechen fumbled it away deep in Wartburg territory.
The Titans haven't played well, but I am not sure it would have mattered. Wartburg is just better. They have dominated this game outside of the turnovers. Have run for aver 200 yds and kept IWU to about 120 total yards so far.
Wartburg physically dominated the LOS. They were impressive.
Gallik finally getting it together, but almost certainly to little too late. He put together a 71-yard TD drive, including four passes (out of four throws) for 67 yards. 7-35 with a minute left in the third quarter.
BTW, Gallik and Simms have both gotten the individual records (though I'm sure they'd happily trade them for a win!); Jones will not (he hasn't carried the ball since the first quarter, and had 4 rushes for -6 yards).
A Stanek 83 yd TD pass to Chad O'Kane has NCC with a 7-0 lead. UWP threw a pick into the NCC endzone and NCC fumbled away a ball in the Pioneer redzone since then. Slezak is playing

USEE, thanks for the reply on the other board. I don't think I've ever seen a NT play so far off the center before. NCC up 21-3 and dominating every aspect of the game.
I don't understand it. I have seen it from a position (Randy White and the 4-3 flex, Desert Swarm defense, Augies Tackle Backer) but have never seen an entire DLine 2 yds off the ball.

NCC looks very, very good offensively!
If Peterson were in, I fully believe BU would be making this a bit more competitive because they'd be able to move the ball on offense, however it doesn't look like the defense is up to the task, and I doubt BU would be able to keep up.
Well two years ago NCC was up 21-0 on Wabash and we know how that ended.

Yeah, it works really well in conference, anyway. I'm honestly not sure about lining up a yard off the ball...I only played one year, and it was on offense. There's a guy on the MIAC board, Hazzbeen, who was a multi year starter on defense, and he'd probably be able to shed more light on the strategy. He's at the game I believe, but if you post a question, he'll probably get back to you.
Gosh...not sure where he was even going there. ???
another turnover by Bethel. 3 this half. going to be tough to score when you give it away.
Defensivle linemen who line up off the ball are there to "read" and react to the blocking scheme. This defensive line doesn't seem to be a slanting, looping front so it seems they are just engaging the offensive line a yard deeper than other teams. I don't see the sense in it.
Bethel became very one-dimensional very early in this game. Beyond the first drive, it seems it has taken just one negative or neutral play to stunt their momentum.
Beyond this, that field is an embarrassment. Lots of players slipping, etc., to end plays early or narrow passing options. Happily for this Red-and-Black clad onlooker, the biggest impact so far was on the first Bethel drive, where their RB slipped when basically headed for the endzone. A negative play led to a FG, and instead of being up 7-0, it was only 3-0, and the Cards answered quickly.

Yeah, that is where lacking Peterson really hurts.
Yep, the field looks awful. Shame there was a monster truck rally at the Metrodome today, otherwise they probably would have gone there like they did in the first round.
Edit - I'll add that this is what I was expecting offensively for BU, but really, really, hoping against.

Tough for Bethel to start the half with that turnover...

As someone said on the MIAC in game board, Peterson was the conference MVP, and Keefe a 4 year backup for a reason.
I've been trying to keep an eye on the UWW - Linfield game, but the video freezes every 45 seconds or so and I have to refresh. Anyone else struggling with this?
I have struggled w the UWW feed also.

That was an impressive play.
the Wesley QB is 33-50 for 561 yds with 4 INT's and 7 TD's.WOW
Whitewater now up two scores on Linfield with ten and change left.
Keys to the game so far:
1. Bethel clearly felt the absence of their QB, and their attack was limited by his absence. They're averaging 7 yards per pass; the Cards are averaging 17.
2. Ball security. North Central generally has taken care of the ball, and Bethel has not. I'm including both turnovers, instances where they've recovered their own fumbles, and the handful of times where the ball hit the ground just after the play.
3. Bethel inability to positively impact field position. Through three quarters, they are 1 for 11 on third and fourth down, and their punter is averaging 22.8 yards per kick. The Cards are only 3 for 9 on conversions, but their punting game has been solid enough.
3 for 9 on third down isn't that abnormal. Key has been avoiding 3rd downs.
Wesley QB threw for 633 yds and 8 TD's today in a 59-62 loss at Mt Union. Holy basketball score.
They were 50% versus Albion and 40% vs Platteville. So it is marginally lower than where they've been recently.
1 for 11, though, is not gonna get it done.

Agreed. This is where Peterson's loss was most acutely felt. He was very good this year on 3rd down. And a major reason why Bethel was one of the nations leaders in 3rd down conversions.
Early scores on opening day:
Wheaton 17, Coe 0, 11:00 2nd
Millikin 24, Greenville 3, 10:00 2nd
I can't get the two Stretch Internet games (Franklin @ Illinois Wesleyan and Elmhurst @ Loras) to load.
Millikin's now ahead of Greenville, 31-3, with plenty of time left in the second quarter. It looks like the Big Blue are not missing Stunning Sean Dunning's presence today.

Illinois Wesleyan 14, Franklin 7, 13:38 2nd
Wheaton 24, Coe 0, 2:47 2nd
Millikin 38, Greenville 10, 4:00 2nd
Artie Checchin is good at football. After Franklin drives for their second score to make it 21-14 Titans, Checchin returns the kickoff 100 yards for an answer score to go along with several big receptions. 28-14 Titans, late 2nd. Titan D has forced a couple turnovers, but on the 2 scoring drives from Franklin, I feel like I'm watching the old Tampa 2 where we are getting picked apart over and over again just behind the backers but in front of the safeties.
St. Norbert @ Carthage just underway. No score.
Illinois Wesleyan 21, Franklin 14, 6:46 2nd
Turnover on a botched punt by Titans and Franklin picks it up for 6. 28-21 Titans with 5ish left in the first half.

Late in the 3rd, it's IWU 42, Franklin 28. The big plays on the Titan scoring drive were a 49-yard pass, Warner to Chechen, and an 11-yard scamble by Warner after he was trapped in the backfield. I don't know how they scored the TD, as stretch went dead again at the crucial time.

Final
Wheaton 36 Coe 28 final
Wheaton started pulling starters right away after the half had to put them back in. Coe was throwing under the lb's who played too far back even for soft coverage which made it an easy throw and catch in the second half.
IWU 42, Franklin, presumably late in the 4th. (There's no audio, the camera never shows the clock, and livestats gave up the ghost in the 3rd period, but Franklin has started calling time after every play.)
11 TDs in the game, and thanks to Stretch, I haven't seen a single one! :P
Franklin's last chance got near midfield but then incomplete, sack, sack, sack-fumble and IWU wins 42-35.
From the bits and pieces I was able to put together it was a fine game, but Stretch needs to realize there's no preseason to work out the kinks.
Snc beats Carthage 25-13
Albion leads Wesleyan 14-7 late 1st half. IWU's first week opponent, Franklin, drives right down the field and scores a TD on their opening drive against Whitewater.

Huge game changer in Albion. With IWU up 28-21, Albion marches to the IWU 10 (on a drive that should have been over, but IWU took an unsportsmanlike penalty which I didn't see). Titans hit Albion QB from behind, force a fumble and return it 92 yards for a TD. 35-21 IWU midway through 4th.

Titans win 35-28, making big plays when needed. Got at least 4 TOs. Penalties hurting both teams at key points. Warner another big day, probably over 300 yards passing. Titan running game ineffectual today. Many on the D side played well.
A good win against a good team on the road. We'll take it for sure.

IWU vs. Simpson, lots of yardage being put up by both teams, but little scoring. IWU has 2 INT and one fumble recovery. Warner threw one INT. So far, IWU FG kicking is 0-2.

10-3 Simpson, about 8 minutes to go.
Simpson up 13-3 with 4 minutes to go.
IWU goes down 13-3 at Simpson. Not much going today offensively -- yardage but no scores. 3 TOs hurt the Titans today.

IWU70
UWSP Is playing very well, and showing to be a formidable opponent. However, the Cardinals are not doing themselves any favors, and are certainly not playing up to their usual standards. Of particular concern for NCC is a pass defense that resembles a piece of Wisconsin Swiss cheese, and a very inefficient, if almost totally absent, passing attack that has seen only 5 completions for a total of 111 yards, almost half coming on one play. Both Cardinal QBs have thrown a costly pick. NCC needs to find a way to defend a few passes, and also to hit their open receivers if they are going to manage to hang on or add to their current 1 point halftime advantage and emerge with a W.

Carthage still trailing, 7-0, now at the half. Neither team can run the ball. The Red Men have missed two field goals.
Millikin is now up on Aurora, 24-9, late in the third quarter.

... aaaand the Red Men give it back by surrendering a 68-yard touchdown pass. Lakeland 14, Carthage 7.
Lakeland 14, Carthage 13. The Red Men ran for a score, but went for two and failed. Halfway thru the fourth quarter now.
The Red Men score another TD, and the two-point conversion is good. Carthage 21, Lakeland 14, with about five minutes left.

Augustana 13 Wheaton 10. The defense of Augustana is crashing into the backfield begging for a speed option instead of the slow moving read option. Running the speed option with d players who crash into the backfield who will have no way to pursue do to the over aggression, All you have to do is race toward the sidelines beating the d past their spot in the backfield a little down field blocking and your running wind sprints into the end zone. Luther college does this every week. You have to recognize what the defense is giving you.
Many teams know all about passing the ball but have forgotten or just dont know how to read the defense to run the ball.

Halftime
Thunder look pretty bad in the first half vs Augie. Lots of missed tackles and for some reason Wheaton wants to play the rotating QB game with Bowers and Butler which I think hurts the development and rythm of the offense much more than it helps. Its a long trip to Rock Island and the Thunder players look like they got off the bus and expected the lowly eastern Vikings to not show up. If Wheaton doesn't show up in the 2nd half they will be regretting this game for the next 5 weeks.
Wheaton ties the score 13-13 after Augie tries a fake punt run on a 4th and 15 in their own territory. Can't imagine what Cushman was thinking on that call. Absolutely terrible decision.
Augie muffs a punt on their own 5 yard line. Wheaton recovers and scores a couple plays later. 20-13 Wheaton.
Wheaton's offense looks horrible. The two gift plays by Augie as noted above have given Wheaton the lead.
Wheaton has allowed Augie to battle them down to the wire. This one will be close. Augie on the move for tying TD (probably will go for 2 and win). Terrible tackling by the Thunder and Bowers has looked awful as the QB.
Augie with 4th and 10 from the 12 with about 3minutes left. Timeout Augie. Game time right here
Incomplete. Wheaton ball at the 10. The Thunder need a first down to end it. THey have 26 yds of offense in the 2nd half

26 yards of offense but 10 points scored due to Augie mistakes.
Yep. Lucky Thunder will get out with a win. Definitely not a top 25 team today. Kudos to Augie for playing aggressive defense.
Did Augie just run the ball on 3rd down with no timeouts and less than a minute left??

Umm. Yes. I bit of a head scratcher don't you think? Kind of like calling a fake punt run from your own 35 yard line on a 4th and 15 while you have the lead.

Augie 7-0 heading into the 4th quarter. Both defenses playing well. IWU offense is pretty much absent. Augie only making plays based on QB Sam Frasco scrambling for big yards. Augie ball at IWU 26 yd line to start 4th.
Augie holds on and wins 7-2. This game may have set offensive football back by several decades. Not much shown on either side. IWU will absolutely struggle the rest of the season if they are unable to run the ball better than they did today. That was the difference in the game.

I had no illusions of a Titan victory, but I hoped they could keep the Cardinal starters on the field well into the second half. It looks like the starters will be sitting before halftime.
Jack Warden is back and playing very well. This will go down as a promising season destroyed by mono. :P
Well, the Cardinal starters will have to earn their 'pay' after all: IWU has cut the deficit to 14-21 in the 2nd quarter.
North Park is crushing Carthage, 31=7 after 3.

Coe leading 7-0 over Wheaton midway through 1st quarter
Wheaton responds with a 15 play, 76 yard drive to tie it up at 7-7.
IWU & Franklin knotted at 14 half way through 2nd quarter
NPU leading 10-7 over Concordia late in 1st quarter
St. Norbert over Carthage 6-0
Wheaton goes 6 plays and 70 yards to take 14-7 lead.
After 2nd start 3 and out by Coe, Wheaton goes 6 plays, 60 yards, capped by 25 yard pass from Peltz to Thorson for TD.
Wheaton now leads 21-7 with 10:45 left in the half.
Thorson already with 8 catches for 108 yards. Peltz already over 200 yards total offense - 170 passing, 32 rushing.
Franklin scored on their opening drive, and scored again with 5 seconds remaining in the half, but in between it was pretty much all IWU - they lead at the half, 28-21. Jack Warner is 10 for 11 for 153 yards and 3 TDs - can we please replay last season with Jack staying healthy?! ;D
Coe gets 30 yards on an interesting, pseudo "option" fake punt. Punter ran to the right looked like he was about to kick the ball, but they cutback against the grain when it was apparent Wheaton over pursued. 2 plays later Wheaton intercepts on a deflected pass.
Wheaton drives down quickly, but settles for a FG. Leading now 24-7 with 4:22 until half.
Another 3 and out for Coe.
Wheaton drives 46 yards to the Coe 7. Has a 7 yard rushing TD called back on a penalty with 41 seconds left in the half. 2 plays later Peltz to Norton for 12 yards, TD.
Wheaton leading 31-7 with 26 seconds till half.
Wheaton with 334 yards offense in first half.
Peltz is 18-24 for 261 yards and 2 TD's.
Coe had 69 yards on their first drive, but only 55 yards on their next 6 drives.
NPU over Concordia 13-10 at half.
St. Norbert over Carthage 20-0 at half.
IWU over Franklin 28-21 at half.
Wheaton over Coe 31-7 at half.
Anyone know what's happening with the IWU @ Franklin game? Live Stats is still reporting it as halftime, but they reached halftime well over an hour ago! (Long delay due to lightning, perhaps?)
Stepped out to go miniature golfing with kids. Final in Iowa: Wheaton over Coe 52-14
Lightning delay at Franklin
Elmhurst beats Loras 31-17
LOOOOONG halftime, thanks to lightning. They finally resumed after more than three hours! Each team score a FG in the 3rd; the Titans dodged a bullet early in the fourth, taking over on downs on their own 1-yard line. Titans maintain a 31-24 lead, with about 12 minutes remaining.
It looked like IWU had gotten out of a field position jam, reaching the 27-yard line; then suddenly it looked like that hadn't, as Jack Warner was sacked for a 15-yard loss. Then Brian Johnson booted the punt 49 yards, and during the 8-yard return, FC was called for an illegal block - end result, FC takes over on their own 36 (about 9 minutes remaining).
IWU gets a FG to go up 34-24, 4:35 left.
Titans take over on downs at their own 45; up ten and less than three minutes left, I think the victory cigar can be lit. ;D
With Franklin's 7th turnover of the day, now you can officially light that cigar
It's now a final: IWU 34, FC 24.

On the 2nd play of the game North Central's Oshayne Brown with a 62 yard TD run to open the scoring vs Wis-Platteville in Wisconsin.
Now this is what I expected last season, but obviously didn't get - IWU up 21-0 on Simpson midway thru the 2nd Q. Total yardage is 200+ to 26!
IWU drives 85 yards and scores with 3 seconds remaining. At the half they lead 28-0.
Apparently, they have decided to not play any defense at Augie this year. Up on Loras 49-41 with a little less than 10 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. If they don't figure something out soon, I'm afraid to see what Wheaton or NCC might do to that defense later this season. We could see them put up triple digits :P
Simpson finally got on the board with a 33-yard TD pass w/ 5 minutes left in the 3rd. IWU came right back with a 75-yard scoring drive to lead 35-7 w/ 1 minute left in the 3rd.
Wow, Augie punts after Loras' most recent score. 70+ yard touchdown pass and 2 pt conversion to tie the score at 49. Augie has blown a 22 pt halftime lead in about 8 mins of 3rd quarter play. They have given up 515 yards of total offense with 22 minutes left to play in the game.
If the game wasn't already over in B'town, it is now. IWU just scored again; now up 42-7 w/ 11:15 to play.
I'm likin' this game a whole lot better than last year! ;)
Loras drives down again, but Augie D makes a couple plays and Loras misses a FG at end of 3rd quarter. Still 49-49. Augie D gave up 312 yards of offense and 22 points to an 0-2 Loras team in the 3RD QUARTER.
Even the back-ups are havin' fun in B'town today. #2 QB hits little-used receiver for a 44-yard TD - now 49-7.
Augie kicks FG to go up 52-49 with a little less than 10 minutes to go in 4th.
Augie D holds after FG, but offense proceeds to throw a 50 yard pick 6. Augie down 56-52 with 5:45 left in game.

Wheaton missed 46 yard FG - looked like a bad snap.
All subs in for both teams. Still 49-17 with 5:38 left. Done posting status, as it is mop up time.
NCC up 28-14 at half vs Wesley. Very strong 1st half for the Cardinals. 316 yards for NCC in the first half and 311 for Wesley. Big difference was the 1 turnover in the game which was an interception by NCC in their end zone with the score tied 14-14. This was on a 3rd and goal from the NCC 6 yard line. NCC drove down following the pick to score and go ahead 21-14. NCC D holds next series and forces a punt. Cards drive down and score with less than a minute left in half to take a 28-14 lead.

Looks like the qb rotation is over at ncc.
North Central is much more physical than Wesley. They are knocking them off the ball. That said, Wesley is incredibly athletic. That last TD by Callahan under pressure was pretty awesome.

After the tying TD drive, NCC goes with Dylan Warden at QB and he fumbles the first play on an exchange w the RB. Wesley converts and now leads 42-35. Wesley trailed 14-35 with 3.39 left in the 3rd in this game. It has been a blitzkrieg.

North Park confusing the Thunder. A lot of guys standing around not knowing what to do.
Offensive line play is pathetic and slow for the Thunder especially the pass blocking. They look like their running backwards.
O line very slow off the ball and you cant run the ball inside being that slow off the ball unless your running draw plays every time.

Augie leads Elmhurst, 9-0, at the half in the QC. I'm watching this one, and I'm a little disappointed, since I was expecting something along the lines of one of those old 1960's AFL shootouts, but Augie has actually played quite well on the defensive side of the ball. They're containing Josh Williams, while, on the other side, Elmhurst is having trouble bottling up Sam Frasco.

Yeah, completely surprised to see Williams with 7 carries for 5 yards in the 1st half.
At the half at Lindsay Field, it's NCC 14, MU 7.
Elmhurst is on the board with a 45-yard FG. AC 9, EC 3, with 1:33 to go in the 3rd.
Millikin knots it up on a 66-yard TD run by Stepina. It's MU 14, NCC 14, five minutes deep into the second half.

NCC is dominating all the stats except for the only one that counts. Millikin making 'em sweat with two big plays: a pick-6 and the 66-yard run.
Stepina to Tott for a 25-yard score.
MU 21, NCC 14, with half a minute to go in the third.
Warden is inserted at QB for NCC, and the Cards promptly drive down the field behind his running and tie the ballgame with 13 minutes and change remaining.
Meanwhile, Elmhurst and Augustana keep trying to give each other the game. Elmhurst keeps turning it over, and Augie keeps killing itself with stupid penalties.
Still 9-3, AC, with about five minutes to go in the game.
Josh Williams stopped on 4th and 1 at the AC 22 with 2:46 to go.
NCC retakes the lead, 28-21.
Elmhurst facing a 4th and 6 from the AC 25 with 26 seconds remaining.
Surprisingly close games today in the CCIW. Could be an interesting year.
Ec converts the 4th down.
NCC scores another TD. It's now 35-21.
How many people would have taken "Under" on total points in the Elmhurst/Augie game at 13 points?
Or total rushing yards "Under" 170 yards?
I would have gone with 3 times those numbers.
6 Elmhurst turnovers! OUCH!
Another Warden score. NCC 42, MU 21. Whatever bad mojo was following NCC around in the fourth quarter the past few weeks has apparently reversed itself.

BIG time! Against both UWP and Wesley, enter the fourth ahead, lose the game. Against Millikin, enter the fourth behind and produce a rout! ;)
Remembering last week, IWU has decided not to dig such a hole again - 1 minute into the 2nd Q a Warner to Checchin TD pass makes it 21-3.
Update: less than 3 minutes later, Shoemaker-Gilmore runs it in to go up 28-3.
At the half, IWU 35, Millikin 13
Halftime in RI:
Augie 7
IWU 14
Augie up 178-56 yds total offense has to be a little frustrated. IWU with a big kick off return for a TD in the first quarter. Augie drives to the goal-line before half and gets nothing.
IWU up 14-7 at half vs Augie. Augie statistically dominates the first half with with 178 yards of total offense and 21 minute TOP vs 56 yards and 9 minutes for IWU. Difference in the game is a 93 yard kickoff return by IWU after Augie scores to tie the game at 7. In an alarming trend, Augie twice had the ball inside IWU's ten yard line in the 2nd qtr and came away with zero points. Missed a short field goal on the first drive, and, with 20 seconds left in the half, went for it on a 4th and goal from the 15 (following an IWU sack). Augie's receiver catches the pass in the back of the end zone for what looked like a TD. Not sure if the refs ruled him out of bounds or if the receiver juggled the ball, but the back judge waived it off. That's five times in the last two weeks Augie has had the ball in the red zone and came away with no points.
IWU up 21-7 with about 7 mins left in game. IWU scores on a 50+ yard run from Shoemaker-Gilmore. Neither team has done much offensively in the 2nd half, with the exception of the long TD run.
Augie takes it into the red zone again and turns it over on downs. 3rd time in the red zone with zero points to show for it. This is a game that Augie could have easily won. With less than 4 mins. to go, not looking good for AC.
Wow, right before half... Great catch by the Wheaton player and effort.
Three times in a row NCC time clock operator lets the clock run when it should be stopped.
Ref fixes it twice but Wheaton still loses time on the fix plus seconds on the non fix.
Then Wheaton scores on a throw just in front of the end zone NO TIME REMAINING.
MORAL PLAY IT STRAIGHT PLAY IT HONEST!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it possible to have a penalty on every play of a 10 play drive?
Wheaton & Naperville are doing their best to achieve that.
Wheaton leads Elmhurst 17-0 at half.
Not unexpectedly a very sloppy game between horrible field conditions and Wheaton not as sharp as last week (resting some players, likely due to injury).
If not for 3 Elmhurst turnovers (one a pick 6), this game could be very close. If Wheaton plays like this next week, they'll be in trouble.
Cards up 16-7 on the Weenies at half. No Hunniford. Warden mostly doing a good job managing the game to this point.
TD Cards! Bad snap on a punt turns into a TD. 23-7. ;D
Muffed punt by NCC leads to a IWU TD. 23-15 after the two point conversion.
FG gives the Cards a 26-15 lead. Checchin appears to be done for the day with an injury.
Final in Wheaton: 31-0 Wheaton over Elmhurst

Early in the 2nd Q. IWU 10, NPU 6.
At the half:
Loras 20, Elmhurst 9
Wheaton 12, Benedictine 0
Carthage 14, Aurora 11
Carroll 17, Lakeland 13
Illinois Wesleyan 21, Monterrey Tech 10
Millikin and Greenville had their live stats conk out in the first quarter with MU up, 7-0.
Wheaton with almost more penalty yards than yards from scrimmage (61 to 75).
Ugly game by both teams. Stupid unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on 3rd and long to extend drives.
Carthage with twice as many plays. Wheaton backed up deep in their field for much of 2nd quarter. 33 yard punt from 2 yard line returned 23 yards led to Carthage drive starting in red zone.
Wheaton appears to have lost Pettaway to injury.
7-7 at half.
BTW: Huge, I mean HUGE goalline stand by Wheaton late in 2nd quarter kept it from a Carthage lead.
Not much difference from last year's game which was 3-3 going into 4th quarter
Just as I was thinking this may be the worst performance by Wheaton offense in a long, long time, two consecutive completions by Bowers going 70+ yards has Wheaton up 13-7. 2 straight completions is a big deal considering Bowers was 3 for 12 prior. Peltz was 1 for 5. Yet another missed PAT. That is troubling and could bite them in this game.
Wheaton 0-8 on 3rd down. Ouch.
Nichols 70 yard punt return for TD. 2 pt conversion failed. 19-7 Wheaton. Nichols coming up huge. Also has 51 yard reception on last TD drive.
3rd unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on 3rd and long extends another Carthage drive. Stupid.
Wheaton leading 19-7 over Carthage, start of 4th quarter. Carthage driving inside Wheaton 26.

3rd unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on 3rd and long extends another Carthage drive. Stupid.
Very much out of character for a Swider team.
Conway is a good QB, but he should sit the next set of downs against EC. Just not his day and they need to try something else.
15 play, 77 yard drive, fueled by Wheaton unsportsmanlike penalty has game at 19-14.
Bowers INT gives ball back to Carthage at their own 23. Btw: another personal foul for Wheaton.
Big play. 2:23 left in game. Wheaton leading Carthage 19-14. 3rd and 15 from Carthage 39. Bowers completes 19 yard pass.
Game over in Kenosha. 19-14 Wheaton over Carthage. Suspected this would be very hard fought battle. Didn't expect so many mistakes and bad penalties by Wheaton. Carthage defense must be for real. I didn't see game, but play-by-play hinted at how disruptive they were. Very little rushing for Wheaton (less than 100 yards) and less than 50% completion by Bowers and Peltz. Not often you'll come away with W when that is the case.
Embarrassing display so far, for Augie at Carthage. Down 14-0 at end of 1st quarter. Augie had 3 unsportsmanlike penalties on Carthage's last drive and another inexplicable roughing the QB penalty which kept Carthage's first TD drive alive (Augie's D lineman hit the qb several seconds after he threw a swing pass). Augie D lineman Keith King (he also had the roughing penalty) ejected after the last unsportsmanlike penalty and also an unsportsmanlike penalty on an Augie coach. Complete lack of discipline by Augie, so far.
Augie answers with a TD, now 14-7 with a little over 9 mins left in the half. Carthage tried a fake punt which didn't succeed and gave Augie good field position at the Carthage 43. Carthage also paid Augie back with an unsportsmanlike penalty during the drive.
Augie playing much more disciplined in the 2nd quarter and has come back to tie at 14-14 with 2 minutes left in the half. 18 yard td pass from Fuller to Lattner.
Carthage drives down and scores to make it 20-14. Miss the EP. A combination or really bad tackling and incredibly soft coverage leads to the td. On a 3rd and 5 during the drive, Augie's CB was at least 12 yards off the outside receiver. a 5 yard hitch route and a missed tackle led to a 29 yard gain. Augie also decided to decline a holding penalty deep in Carthage's territory, which would have made it a 2nd and 20 instead of a 3rd and 10. They then proceed to jump offsides, which led to the 3rd and 5 scenario I just described. After a really good second quarter, they just gave the momentum back to Carthage.
Augie drives down on 1st possession of 2nd half. Goes for a FG on 4 and 4 and Carthage jumps offside. Augie scores TD on next play. 21-20 Augie with 8:37 to go in 3rd.
Augie gets a turnover deep in Carthage's territory but gives it right back on an INT at the 2 yard line. 21-20 Augie at the start of the 4th. Carthage has a 3rd and 9 from their own 3 yd. line coming up.
Augie holds. 1st and 10 at the Carthage 36 yard line.
Augie receiver drops a first down on a 3rd and nine. Punt it back to Carthage, who has it 1st and 10 from their 4 yard line. 13:49 left in the game.
Nice return on Carthage punt give them 1st and 10 at the Carthage 30. Augie's offense needs to do something here.
30 yard FG by Augie. 24-20 with a little under 10 mins left in game.
I am so angry watching the end of the Augie game, I can hardly stand it. Augie D gives up a 3rd and 16 for a first, a 3rd and 24 for a first, and then on 3rd and Goal, Augie gets a stop which would've forced a 4th and goal from the 6 yard line. However, Augie's CB thought it would be a good idea to taunt the Carthage player after making a hit on the 3rd down, so Augie get's it's fourth unsportsmanlike penalty to give Carthage a first down. They score and Augie is down 27-24 with less than 1 minute left. Augie driving at the Carthage 25 with about 30 seconds left.
Augie misses a 42 yard FG at the end of the game. Augie absolutely gave this game away. I don't know what the coaching staff is going to do about it, but stupidity was the reason Augie lost that game. How does a team commit 4 unsportsmanlike penalties in 1 game? That coupled with the 3rd and 16 and the 3rd and 24 where there wasn't an Augie defender even close to the receiver, is absolutely mind boggling.
Common thread is that it is against Carthage? Wheaton had 3 bad unsportsmanlike or personal foul penalties against Carthage. :-\
I think refs are much more stringent on the unsportsmanlike on the defense as their chippiness can be much more of a safety issue for an offensive player. They tend to penalize defense much more often. Perhaps Carthage has some "talkers" on offense? Doesn't excuse, but maybe an explanation?
IWU takes the kick and goes 3 and out. Bowers leads Wheaton 6 plays 63 yards.
1st play of next drive 77 yd TD for IWU
7-7 in Bloomington
Wheaton drive stalls on penalties and IWU goes 90+ yds for another TD
14-7 Titans
This is NOT the game I was expecting. Less than 3 minutes into Q2, it is 14-14; with the teams combining for almost 350 yards! Based on both teams results so far (and talk of their respective defenses and offenses), I anticipated a defensive battle, not BIG scoring game!
Wheaton drives to the 9 and a tipped ball is intercepted. Titans drive and on 3rd and 14 they go up top for a 3rd time in the game for a TD. 24-14 IWU
Halftime IWU 24-17
Wheaton drives down and rushes on to kick a FG.
Very impressed with the OL and Frosh QB for the Titans, they have controlled the game so far.
Some defensive battle!! :P The combined 41 points and over 600 yards are already more than I would have predicted for the entire game!
With an entire half to go, I'm certainly not going to celebrate just yet - but I will declare a POSSIBLE UPSET ALERT. ;D
Raining all day here in Wheaton and the west Chicago suburbs. Storm is circling just NE of Bloomington where it has been sunny all day. Would have went to the game if I knew the whether was going to be sunny in Bloomington. Just cant bring the dog in rainy weather. :'(

I turned the game on at half and have seen nothing but Wheaton dominating.
Alas, the POSSIBLE UPSET ALERT has been canceled. :(
VERY impressive goal-line stand by the Titans (1st and goal at the 3; 4th and goal from the 2), but too little-too late. Wheaton gets the chip-shot FG to go up by 3 scores.
This is the Wheaton offense I've been expecting all year. Great to see.
Would love to look at the film to see what adjustments Wheaton coaches made on defense in 2nd half. Completely different game. Seems like they came with more pressure & stunts in 2nd half to get freshman QB unsettled?

Wheaton's defense rarely blitzes. The difference was the Dline dominated the second half and IWU dominated the first half.

I've said it before that no staff makes better halftime adjustments than Wheaton.
NCC fumbled the opening kickoff that somehow turned into a TD for NP. NCC marches down and ties the game at 7. Not an ideal start for the Cardinals.

Carthage has really hurt themselves offensively today. 2x they were inside the 15 of IWU and had bad snaps and/or penalties that took them out of field goal range. Another time they lost yards in the redzone and missed a FG.
IWU on the move inside the Carthage red zone
no points for the Titans as the IWU RT and RG get beat on a simple T/E twist on 4th down and get sacked to turn it over on downs.
Carthage ball with a 1 pt lead. 6:35 to play

IWU fakes a run to MSG, Bauer on the bootleg throws it too far and a late flag....pass interference against Carthage. Looked like a really bad call.
IWU now inside the 5 with 55 seconds left.

incomplete.
2.3 seconds to go. Redmen are at the 14 yd line of IWU. one play left
incomplete. Game over.
Saw the 4th and 1 play, incomplete pass. Bauer overthrew it, but the Titans were the beneficiaries of a gift PI call on the Redman. Terrible call IMO.
Calm down.
No more Red Bull.
Don't know if you want LINFIELD fans following along and participating on your board today.
May be a few.
No injuries! May Wheaton leave their best on the field.
Glad to have you! So I won't be alone on here....
very important to get off to a good start.
surprised MHB punted on their first drive
Looked like he was going to take off.
MHB speed on defense is impressive.
Thunder should have used a time out there so they could kick FG with the wind. Now they kick a 42 yd FG into the wind to start the 2nd Qtr
barely enough leg. Wheaton leads 3-0
these kick returns scare me. Penalty on Wheaton and they have to re-kick
another INT by Stevensen. 3 playoff games in a row.
Tough to run on UMHB.
announcers calling Sola "O-LATE-a-ju"
Why the Thunder think they can run the hand off sweep to Teidrick Smith's side is beyond me. He is in the backfield every time.

Oy... that was not a smart pass by Peltz. Bad INT by Peltz. There goes the field position.

well it is Texas after all
And then a stupid targeting penalty by Wheaton. Chase Greenlee has been ejected.
Chase Greenlee ejected from game. Wow. That's a game changer
That's a horrible call
Do not see the weather being a negative for the game. That's good.
Bad interception by JP leads to a TD for MHB. The ejection call is reviewable at halftime. I suspect Greenlee will be back. It was pretty clearly unintentional
Penalties again hurting the Thunder. Offsides on a 3rd and 1 gives Cru a first down then the targeting call gives them 15 before the TD.
How long is it going to take before Wheaton understands they can't run wide. Too much defensive speed. Last 5 carries by Sola have gone for -12 yards.
Another Peltz INT.
Those are bad breaks taken advantage of by a good team.

I thought I saw a horse collar on that play, then looked back to my other screen with UST/UWO, then saw a Keith tweet that Greenlee was ejected for targeting. Didn't even see that as the horse collar is what drew my eye. Would love to see that play again to see exactly what happened.
From the replay on the big board at the game, it was a clear targeting penalty. I don't think he'll be back.
I don't believe it will be targeting. It was helmet to helmet contact but Greenlee was diving to get in front of Jackson. incidental
Big stop there for the Thunder D to only give up 3.
That UMHB FG wasn't good by much. 10-3. All UMHB points on drives that are less than 40 yards. Turnovers are the story thus far.

actually what both teams did with the turnovers. MHB has 10 pts and Wheaton got nothing from their pick. MHB defense throttling the Thunder. Wheaton's defense playing very well but they will need some help in the second half. MHB has been an explosive 3rd quarter team. Wheaton will get the ball. The first drive will be key.
I'm not a fan of the targeting rule for D3 football. I can see it for D1 but that rule and the other rule where the player gets a warning then an ejection seems to be overused. D3 is for the love of the game with teams and players having respect for one another.

Targeting is the same at any level. That argument makes no sense. Respect or no respect, it's about making sure the call is right.

Sola tends to stall in his runs sometimes. I think they should add some stone Watson on quick dives to see what happens.
Targeting call is upheld. Greenlee is out for the game. Wheaton's best pass rusher. Big issue
Targeting ejection will stand.

Late hits in middle of a dive is not targeting. Its a late hit penalty.
not according the rules. It specifically says it applies to a defenseless runner on the ground, which is what Jackson was.
Wheaton makes great halftime adjustments. Need them here.
THAT is frustrating.
Another bad mistake. All MHB points come from turnovers (2 INTs and blocked punt).
Offense has to step up now.
Majority of running plays going backwards.
Like I said, the replay showed a clear targeting. Led with helmet and launched into defenseless players helmet.

15 yard TD pass from Peltz to Handley.
I was wondering if the extra point might come back to haunt Wheaton. If you look at the extra points last week against NCC, 2 were very nearly blocked. Wondered if UMHB would try to take advantage of that.
Blocked extra point - another special teams miscue that you can't have against the #1 team in the country.
that was a fumble.

How about waiting til the game is decided? Nice show of class.
The fake made the touchdown play. With fast teams freezing the defense with good fakes helps keep the defense guesing and slows them down a bit.
No bad vibes to anyone. Did USee that bomb for a TD?
Mary has kicked it up in 2nd half this season like that.
Missed Greenlee's pass rush there.
Great catch, Adam!

Me.
I don't know but McWilliams has been the named starter for a while. I never saw the program but the 2 deep that Benedictine received had McWilliams as the starter and Furrow as the backup.
That said, Spencer Petersen did play in this game already.
This video feed from Benedictine is almost unwatchable. The camera is zoomed so far out the players are barely visible.

22-0 Wheaton so probably a good time to call it a night.
Both the Wheaton and NCC games are gettin' ugly. Not even halftime yet and Wheaton is up 36-0, NCC is up 19-0.
Of course, Benedictine and RMC are NOT Whitewater, but still sort of impressive. ;)

Seriously? 150 yards in penalties for Wheaton!

Wheaton with 222 yards in 1st quarter.
Kalamazoo... 5.
Bad news for Kalamazoo is Wheaton didn't bring a 4th string.
that heave by Zoo QB was higher than a punt. Fooled Wheaton secondary who over ran it. 35 yard completion. weird play
Wheaton kinda getting lackadaisical. Allow Zoo to put together a drive.
Botched punt snap allows Zoo to covert on a 4th and 1. Then they convert on a 4th and 4.

That said, would be nice to see Wheaton schedule a little tougher game to prepare for CCIW schedule.
North Park dominated the first half, outgaining Midland 243 yards to 87 and ten first downs to five. The Vikings moved the ball down the field twice in the first quarter, only to be stopped on downs at the MU 26 and the MU 34. NPU is 0-6 on third down and 0-2 on fourth down, and that explains why the Vikes only lead 7-0 at the half in spite of a fantastic performance by the defense.
Olivet leads Elmhurst at the half at Langhorst, 19-7.
Carthage is crushing Bethel, 31-0, halfway through the fourth quarter at Keller.

Time to resurrect this thread. The Titan defense is TOTALLY throttling the NPU offense - at the half, the Vikings have 42 total yards, and 2 first downs (and no points). The Titan offense is moving the ball at will, but has so far only 12 points to show for it.
Titans draw first blood in Wheaton - a 28-yard TD run by Alexander puts them up 7-0 w/ 3 to go in the first quarter.
Olateju just dropped an easy TD.
Midway thru the 2nd, Wheaton ties it at 7 on a 16-yard TD pass from Goldsmith to Roberts.
Halftime in Wheaton, tied 7-7. Not as good as I'd hoped; better than I realistically expected! ::)
Elsewhere, it may be the end of an era in Whitewater - they trail Oshkosh 13-0 at the half. In CCIW news, I've now dropped the possible upset alert in St. Louis - NCC trailed WashU 10-0 after one quarter; now lead 29-10 at the half!
Still tied at 7 after 3.
NCC up 36-17 near the end of the 3rd. UWO 23, UWW 13 at end of 3.
Wheaton gets a 33-yard FG; now up 10-7 w/ 9+ to go in the game.
WW scores again, now trails only 20-23 early in the 4th.
IWU 14 Wheaton 10-Final. Way to go Titans!
HOLY CRAP!!! What a game ending!!!
IWU trying to score from the Wheaton 12 with 11 seconds left - Bauer is sacked - game over, Wheaton wins.
BUT WAIT! Someone from Wheaton had called a TO before the play (IWU was out of TOs). Second chance, Titans get a TD pass (a fantastic one-handed grab by Walsh).
TITANS WIN, 14-10!!!!!!!!!

End of the first quarter!
With a minute remaining in the first half, Millikin was driving to cut their deficit to 10-3 or 10-7. Then BOOM! IWU intercepts, returns ball to the Millikin 5, scores on the next play. Then they take away a fumble at the Millikin 20, score in two plays. All in less than 50 seconds!
At the half, IWU 24, Millikin 0.
In Naperville NCC leads 7-0. Austin Bruenig not playing and St Johns playing their backup QB. Almost half
In Bloomington, IWU trails Case 7-0. Case scored via a pass play that was deflected to their guy and a fumble picked up and run in for the TD.
In Bloomington its a white out with an inch of snow on the ground and snow blowing hard. Brandon Bauer is going to need to step up in 2nd half.
Sharmore Clarke, LG for the Cardinals, is singlehandeldly generating the running game. Every big run is over him.
CWRU defense has been very impressive. Dominating the LOS vs the Titans so far.
Case gets a long PR and then on 4th and 1 gets a TD run and lead 14-0. Titans in trouble in Bloomington
I heard Breunig is out with injury sustained in practice, what about SJU's QB?
Case leads 21-0. Really impressed with Case today. They have manhandled the Titans so far.
North Central in control 17-0.Rutter with 2 big pass plays for the score
The Johnnies wake up and 2 pass plays makes it 17-6
Strong start by Wheaton against Monmouth.
Following a Monmouth 3 and out, Wheaton goes 3 plays to take a 7-0 lead.

McWilliams throws INT. Monmouth starting in Wheaton territory - 45yardline.
Umm... first play Monmouth throws an INT on a horrible throw. Wheaton has it back right away.

Game slowing down significantly, as neither offense doing much in 2nd quarter. Still Wheaton 16-0 over Monmouth with about 2 minutes until the half.
Monmouth taking over at Wheaton 25 on a horrible punt from the Wheaton 4 yardline.
Monmouth scores on 23 yard TD pass on 3rd and 8. 16-7 Wheaton.
Carthage still trais fourth-ranked UWO by only 7-6 as the game is now early in the fourth quarter.
Carroll has closed to within 20-17 of Lakeland with four minutes to go in the first half at Schneider.
Augie just lost the ball on downs after a first-and-goal came up empty at Coe. Augie still leads, 13-7.
Lance Unland just bounced a 44-yard field goal attempt on the crossbar and had it fall through. Carthage now leads 9-7, with 12:10 to go in the game.
Primary reason Monmouth is still in the game falls on punting. Monmouth has kept Wheaton inside their own 10 yard line multiple times including after a 77 yard punt.
Conversely Wheaton manages a 21 yard punt from their 4, leading to Monmouth's only points on a 50/50 pass reception after starting drive at the Wheaton 25.

Augie up at the half, 13-7.

3 INT for McWilliams - that won't cut it in the next 3 weeks. Or really any week in the CCIW for that matter.
Carthage is driving -- the Red Men have the ball in Titans territory, but there's only twenty seconds left in the game.
Backup RB Jaelin Goldsmith breaks 3-4 tackles on a simple, 4th option flip from McWilliams for a 50 yard TD pass. XP missed. Wheaton leading 22-7.

Peterson with 11 yard TD pass out of wildcat formation. Wheaton leading 32-7 with just under 5 minutes remaining.
Wheaton with 82 plays for 500 yards. Monmouth with 51 plays for 49 yards.
Carroll and Lakeland are riding their annual rollercoaster. This time it's the Pios who get the go-ahead score, as their TD with 13:44 to play puts the hosts up, 31-26.
Final: Wheaton beats Monmouth 32-7. Very dominate performance by Wheaton defense.
On 4th-and-6, Ryan Pitra burst off-tackle 37 yards for a TD. Augie now in command, 26-7, in the game's waning minutes at Coe.
Carroll wants to get off of the rollercoaster. A muffed handoff by Lakeland at the Muskies 30 becomes a turnover, and the Pioneers proceed to drive in for another score to go up 38-26.
The Pioneers are pulling away. It's now 45-26 with 5:20 to go in the game.
North Park 13, Anderson 7, at the half -- an extended halftime due to a lightning delay.

31-23 Wheaton over NCC at half.
NCC cannot stop Wheaton, and other than 1 goalline stand they haven't even been able to SLOW Wheaton.
NCC was in real danger of getting blown out but for a "hail mary-ish" TD pass to end to the half.
Augie getting it put to them by NCC on their Homecoming, 28-7 late in the 2nd qtr. If Augie's DB's don't start to cover someone, NCC will score 60. Rutter is 19-26 for 255 yards and 2 TDs in the first half. I have never seen receivers as wide open as NCC's have been, all game. Most of the incompletions that Rutter has thrown have been either drops or overthrows to wide open receivers, so it could be much worse. Augie has had some success moving the ball through the air, but not nearly enough to make up for the D's inability to stop North Central.
Carthage @ IWU going to OT at 31 apiece. The Titans had so many chances to ice this game, but could just not pull it off.
Double OT in B'town 34 apiece.
Titans down the Redmen, 40-34, in double OT.
This Wheaton Wash U game feels a lot like the Wheaton IWU game. Wheaton can't seem to get out of their own way.
Kudos to the Bears defense so far, they are up to the task.
Wheaton 7-3 at the half.
That was the best 56 seconds of Washington University football I have ever seen.
Wash U now up 10-7. Great on defense
Bears got kick that.
Recovery WashU.
Wheaton playing a little entitled on offense....
Low hit on Wheaton QB Curtis Mcwilliams has backup QB Jesse Furrow at the helm
Following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Wheaton receiver Phillip Nichols, and a punt out of the Wheaton end zone, WashU goes 35 yards for a TD to up it's lead to 17-7.
Nichols had complained too vociferously about WashU not being called for pass interference.

Halftime
North Central 9
Carthage 7
NCC first points scored when the Carthage center hiked the ball over the QB's head into the end zone. They then connected on a 50 yard Rutter to Hartema pass with 50 seconds left.
Carthage on a 52 yard wide receiver screen with about 3 minutes left in the half.
The wind has played somewhat of a role, but except for the long TD passes, both teams have truly looked like poo poo on offense. NCC O line doing a fine imitation of Swiss cheese as Carthage has FOUR first half sacks.
Elmhurst 10- Milikin 7 @ halftime
Titans draw first blood in St. Louis - up 7-0, having eaten up almost 8 minutes of the first quarter. The wind is apparently quite treacherous, and IWU barely averted disaster on the opening kick-off - the kick was fumbled but the Titans recovered on the 14.
The Bears tie it at 7, two minutes into the second quarter, with a 2-yard pass.
Very entertaining game by two good teams.
It took only three minutes for the Titans to strike back - 14-7 on a Bauer 1-yard run. Bauer had a couple of intended big runs earlier in the drive, but this one was clearly an uncalled scramble. Good on ya, Brandon! ;D
Titans score again in another 4 minutes; now 21-7. Titans have totally dominated so far: total yards are currently 218 to 67.
At the half at Francis Field in SL, Titans up 21-7.
The Bears open the second half with a 70-yard drive for a TD - now 21-14.
Tie game! #letsgowashu
Johnny Davidson is a baller!
The first half of the third quarter is TOTALLY different than the first half of the game! Suddenly the Wash U offense is unstoppable.
That should have been our possession. The penalties are killing us.
The Titans answer back, but miss the PAT - 27=21. Bauer got his third rushing TD of the game.
Quite a momentum swing. Titan interception.
WHAT A GAME!!! Titans survive 27-21.
The internet is rather developed these days, is it not? Why can't IWU and Millikin streams work? ???

Looks like entire Stretch network crashed
It's getting ugly in McCully Stadium. 51-0 Wheaton at the end of the first half. The Thunder defense has 2 defensive touchdowns and a safety. Anything that could have gone wrong for the Bluejays did just that in the first half.
IWU over NPU at the half -- 26-0.
Great job on the broadcast by Mssr. Sager.

IWU up on Carthage, 24-7, at halftime in Kenosha.

Wheaton leading NPU 35-0 at the half. About as one sided as it could possibly be.
Game pretty much decided in Kenosha. Titans up 31-7 after three.

WashU Coach goes out on a high note with the Bears defeating Carroll 62-14. WashU football Coach Larry Lindbom concluded his career with a 220-149-1 (.596) overall record in 37 seasons as a head coach, including a 192-119 (.617) record in 31 seasons at WashU. Kudos Coach!
Is the game on radio ?
Is NPU's camera work always this terrible?? They switch between 3 views (two tight and nearly unwatchable) and jump back and forth between the unwatchable angles in the middle of the play ??? ???
