can anyone here present what the most logical and linear path would be for get Oxy to the playoffs?

or the top three??

yeah the air quality is horrendous today, but as an indication of how things change..

in '93, my freshman year at Oxy, Coach Widolff had us in pads for 17 straight days of camp before school started, as well as four days a week during the season. When Malibu went up in flames early September that year, and the haze in Eagle Rock was so bad you couldn't see the sun and ash was raining for three straight days, we did catch a break...practice was only one hour for those three days!!!

suffice to say, Oxy doesn't hit during the week like they used to, and I hope ALL afected area schools take it inside for walk-throughs and game planning today!

I know Oxy gets the backhand for such a limp out of conference schedule as of late, but in the early 90's when I played, we were regularly playing Azusa Pacific every season until the end of the decade. We also regularly played Trinity (TX) in the early 90's.

Obviously, scheduling some NWC, or even another SCAC opponent will do well for our Strength of Schedule, but don't play it out like we never ever played tough, non-conference opponents.
