I liked the post about points scored, so I thought I would put up the average points allowed for 2007.  I think this may give us an idea of what the offensive numbers may look like for the game.  I know that some of these teams do not play competition like the IIAC, but they still seem to win games. 

I think the Coe/Augie match up will be interesting considering Augie is now operating out of the spread on offense now. 

The d3 broadcast was excellent to listen to.  I was having trouble tuning the radio in and went to the d3 broadcast.  It was crisp and clear, and the announcers knew what they were talking about.  Hopefully next time Pat or Kieth or Adam or whoever comes to Iowa the weather will be better for them.

Great season Dutch!!!!!

Update from Cedar Falls.

Delaware 32  UNI 27 with 5:12 left in the game.

UNI needs to win for football season to continue in the state of Iowa, otherwise it will be a very long winter of hoops.

So high-fiveing and celebrating a game clinching pick 6 is not appropriate.  Obviously you have never coached the game of football if you are making comments like this.  Football is an emotional game for the players and the coaches.

Congrats Bethel and good luck next week.  MUC has been beat before and nothing says it cannot happen again next week.

I agree it is now time for the non-Bethel MIAC backers to please leave the IIAC board.  We will see you all again come playoff time next year.

Congrats Bethel on a great performance and win today.

still alive.

Still alive, gotta make it happen right now.

Scoring update from Cedar Falls.

Delaware 29  UNI 20  heading into the 4th quarter.

That might be the final nail for the Dutch.

Dutch need a TD to stay alive.  I would think we are close to 4 down time.  If we go 3 and out here, it would be tough to give the ball back inside the twenty.

That really stings!!!

Almost all TD drives start with a first down.

We need a big time TO.

If we can some how score two touchdowns and two XP's we win as long as we give up no scores.  It can be done, ie Coe in 2002.  3 TD's in the 4th quarter.  Go Dutch!!!!!
