Cortland showed their vulnerable side today! The defense came to play and play they did! Fisher earned two offensive TDS...1 in the first quarter and then another late in the 4th. Their 2nd score came by way of a "pick 6"...a well thrown ball looked to be juggled by a Cortland receiver and a Fisher d back plucked the ball and took it to the house.

Offensively, the Dragons had little mojo. At least 3 drives stalled on downs inside the Fisher 30. Too many Should have, Would have, Could haves today! When this team hits, they can be nasty...today was a great lesson!

Cortland beat the Saxons like it was 1066AD! It didn't even look like Cortland was playing with any offensive methodology. Was like they showed up to a 7 on 7 for most of the game. 

Cortland looked unstoppable in the first half! One of their lone punts in the first half resulted from a drive that began with a 1st and 25 due to a dumb penalty. Punted but still came close to a first down. Solid team effort against a good Utica team that had a great home crowd!

Any Utica folks on the boards? So far the Pioneers seem to be as complete as they ever have been. As a program, they have definitely made strides through the years. Cortland seems to be playing well. If anything, their strength lies in their defensive unit. Offensively, they have the tools to strike from all across the field. I suspect this upcoming game is coming down to the trenches with possibly some X Factor efforts from the skill players. Both squads have some dudes...just more familiar with Cortland's dudes. Love to hear some other perspectives.

Next week is a big one! I'm sure Utica is going to come out swinging for the fences! I like this Dragon defense under Coach Blu. Here's to another week of bringing the wood!

Game day is back! Curious if more then like 2 others here know! lol!

Susquehanna hammered Hopkins today! Union lost to Susquehanna in a game that they could have won! Cortland drilled Union. Does it mean anything? Probably not, but makes for some good banter and speculation! Too bad Hartwick ruined the shut out! 2 in a row would have been nice!

Red Dragons did what they needed to do. Very blue collar today. No flash or razzle dazzle! Mount Union scored with :12 to play to outlast Grove City! Hopkins falls. Maybe there isn't that much difference between the top and bottom of the top 25 this year, outside of NCC.

Was over at Union. The Dutchmen (struggle to call them the new name) came out every series with grit. Thought this game could have gone the other way. Glad it didn't! Lots of football let to play! Union will hit their stride! 2 tough games to start with!

Watching Marist football may shorten your lifespan! Their stadium is across town from me and unfortunately, their football facilities would be mid tier at the D3 level. Their level of play is blah as well. While I was at Cortland, I always wondered how we would stack up in a hypothetical game.

Looks like the Cortaca Jug game has gotten a corporate sponsor! Wonder if we will see this with any other rivalry games at the lower levels!

Interesting side note...Indiana secondary coach, Ola Adams, served on the Cortland staff from 2008-2013 as a D Backs coach. He   eventually took on the job as Defensive Coordinator for the Red Dragons in his final 2 seasons.

Coach Blu leaving Cortland to go to IC doesn't seem as that crazy of an idea! I liked him when I met him at an alumni event, but the chance to go home when you're already 30 minutes away?

On the streaming rant...on a Cortland Football FB page, a poster claimed to have spoken to someone at ESPN. They were told it was a T2 level national issue (whatever that means! They were also told that there would be no refunds for this months subscription.

Like you Union guys, even though we both lost, I know we all would have loved to have seen our teams on their final outings!

How can anyone have the b@lls to charge for a product that can't be vouched for! Cortland had issues last year with ESPN, and none of their prior streams had problems!

Not cool! 4 of 5 games. Issues last year! Sounds like it's more than a coincidence. Rant over!
