Maybe we can get a pre-game arm wrestling match between Trin 9-0 and NESCACMAN at the 50yd line?
Or, no limits BEER PONG competition?

I just made sure it is on my calendar.  November 14 - Hartford  - at high noon.
Looking forward to a great game. Not sure who I am going to cheer for, but will assess both teams game week and cheer for who I think will best represent the 'CAC at the BIG DANCE.

NESCACMAN,
Where are your prognostications?  We know you are a pro and not a procrastinator.  Show us the goodies.

So we all understand how amazing Trin D is so far .. they are likely allowing about 4 points fewer per game than the No. 2 ranked D in D3.  Wow.

Trin 9-0,
That brings up two changes that are needed.  First, there should be a deduction from offensive points per game total for all TDs an offense, or special teams yielded.  Second, the defensive stat of points per game allowed total should subtract all TDs made by the defense.  This is clearly a more accurate measurement of the quality of a D. Points the O actually scores and the points the D yields minus its TDs are more accurate measurements of the quality of each unit.  With this method, what are the total field goals yielded by Trinity divided by 5?  That is what is more telling about a Ds performance than not including defensive TDs, let alone letting the Os take credit for the D's TDS. Hmmm.

Trin 9-0, 
I would take one of these:

NESCAC CHAMPIONS: 1978, 1980, 1983, 1987, 1991, 1993, 1996, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022, 2023, 2025 UNDEFEATED SEASONS: 1911, 1915, 1934, 1949, 1954, 1955, 1993, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2022

over a few hundred player of the week accolades.
Sorry but I will shed no tears for Trinity on this.

Bdad 69 and Trin 9-0, one may respectfully disagree and side with NESCACMAN on this.  Wesleyan is the reigning champ and should not lose its co-number 1 ranking until an actual loss.  If Trin wants to de-throne the champ, it will have its chance in the head to head match up.  For the time being, Trinity can use this as additional motivation for when the two top teams battle directly.  If I recall correctly, Wesleyan usually has an unexplainable loss during the season.  They may have just dodged that unexplainable loss against Hamilton and could ride their mojo into NCAAs.  Trinity could smash that dream.  Time will tell.  I am looking forward to watching that battle. 

I believe nearly all are starters on their HS teams, and most make their all conference teams.

Congrats to Wesleyan's Dylan Connors as First Team Walter Camp All-American.
Two New Haven Register First Teamers headed to NESCAC - DB/Safety Kayden Davis (above) to Wesleyan and LB Ryan Brooks from New Canaan to Williams.  Two younger brothers of former NESCAC players also made the First Team All State:
Casagrande from Daniel Hand and Luciano from Amity.

One could reasonably claim Cosgrove earned it, but to suggest it is a slam dunk is a tad silly. 
Wesleyan lost 30 extremely talented seniors coming into the year and I believe they obtained their first back to back NESCAC title in school history.  Either choice would not surprise me.

I believe it is not ridiculous to say Wesleyan outplayed Tufts.  I think the stats indicate Wesleyan outplayed Tufts on offense and defense.  In special teams Tufts outplayed Wesleyan.  2 out of 3 Wesleyan outplayed Tufts.  Unfortunately for Wesleyan fans, however, Tufts substantially outplayed Wesleyan in special teams.  I think we can all agree that the number one goal is to score more points than the other team with whatever it takes to win, outplayed or not.
 

I predict Williams will never have to move the ball consistently through the air.
Play action to TE or WR on occasion.  The rest is down hill power run game.

Here is a shoutout to Tufts' Special Teams...truly special.

THEY put the POUND in GroundandPound and D Line is BNasty. Big and Nasty.
