Entertaining game.  JCU's advantages:
   D1 transfers better than Mount's D3 transfers
   Defenses overall pretty even, but trusted JCU's secondary more
   Offense play calling
   Poise
   Field goal kicking, barely 

Be careful when throwing around academic superiority...JCU got their act together after receiving 'notice' in 2015 from the HLC. Notice lifted in 2017, so as Ryan Day learned, humility is the best policy.

Should be an interesting game Saturday between two academic beacons 

Nice (comeback) win for Heidi over Trine.  Interesting team with experienced transfers. 

Muskies have several good players, interesting match up with Mount soon. Routed Capital tonight.

Rough start to the year for BW dropping to 1-6 with loss to Etta today.

Two unbelievable stats from JCU game...QB 31 of 33 in that weather and 2,743 attendance per box score.  Not buying the latter after seeing shots of the stands 

Early OAC looking improved overall from last year.  Capital with a nice win over Denison, like their two 6'5" ish transfers. Mount, Muskies, Otterbein, Capital and Marietta all undefeated.

Uninspired effort from the Purple Raiders.  Marietta played harder with the less athletic team.  MU's line provided good pass protection most of the time, but play calling didn't seem to capitalize on qb and wideouts skills.  Mount's secondary not elite, but 9-0 isn't bad.

Marietta's not meeting expectations and record is a disappointment. Potential excuses for them: no returning experience at QB (8 passes last year, Mount overcomes , only two '24 starters on defense (LBs) and no Chance Knight.

ONU exceeding expectations and all others 'are what we thought they are'.

Ott tried a shake 'em up move at QB on Saturday.  Started a fr and moved the previous QB to WR.

Half-time thoughts...
Cap and Ott have improved from the last few years.  Etta has no pass defense and no offense without Hodges.  And JCU is happy with the move to NCAC

Should be smooth sailing thru the rest of the OAC schedule for the Purple gang.

Dr A...stats of the day!

Tough day for JCU vs JH.  More freshmen getting playing time for the Blue Streaks than I expected.  Impressed with starting a freshman center, future will be bright for him.  Saturday was a big day of learning!

Maloney looks like the real deal and an upgrade from last year.  Paraphrasing Kehres, it's my intention to start every year with a good qb. Mission accomplished.

Flosports with server issues tonight.  Not a fan.

Just saw the Mount final score.  What happened in the 4th qtr, foot off the gas?

Titans had 77 yards rushing tonight and 78 yards rushing last year vs Marietta. Couldn't get the big turnovers this year.  Both teams look tough defensively, offenses works in progress.
