Quote from: RFBredux on September 15, 2025, 11:49:08 AMThe Brett Elliott era at Lewis & Clark is off to a rousing start.

Indeed--the game this weekend should be a better gauge of how good they are.  Then they go back to playing the dregs of the NWC before seeing Whitworth, Lifield, and PLU in consecutive weeks starting late October.

I watched them play last weekend.  The offense looks fairly legit but the defense seems like it will get beat up by teams with decent players.

They have a very good QB and only a freshman.

Quote from: olddog on September 09, 2025, 11:44:10 AMWorking on a theory ....as to why CA D3 teams are not better...as I always harp, it comes down to linemen
AZ dropped JC ball, Oregon and Washington do not have JC programs...AZ has club ball and Washington does too.

My premise is due to Junior College Football in CA it hurts SCIAC schools ....There are 67 junior college teams playing football in CA , and the upper half play at a very high level, somewhere between D3 and D2 in my opinion. When I played my ex mates that went to local D2 schools said our JC team would have beat them or it would be close. We had a couple part time JC guys end up starting in D2 and D3 levels too. There is talent here, it just does not make it to the SCIAC

CA Population 39.6m, used to be 40+ but guess who has run folks out...So for every 600k of population there is a JC team playing football, with the majority of kids coming from CA. Now not every JC kid can get into a CA D3 school, but I know for a fact UR loses kids to JC that have visions of playing D1 despite not having the tool box plus school is virtually free. I would just guess from known local HS players and a few JC head coaches, there are 10 to 25 kids on a JC roster that could have got into a SCIAC school,...So SCIAC schools like UR,LV,CLU,WU, and AP...could easily grab a couple more linemen...that would really bolster their program. What I am seeing any kid that has some good size test the JC market...unlike the Midwest, and our rival LF to the north.

So I would agree with almost everything, except some of the top tier JC programs would beat most D3 and D2 programs.  They have elite talent without the academic grades, so these studs who F-ed around in HS go until they can transfer to D!.

I watched American River College vs Diablo Valley College online last weekend and they are both loaded with D1 talent. California JC ball in the top 25 is pretty elite play.

Quote from: olddog on September 08, 2025, 11:28:11 AMUR Saturday Night

I agree with 10FWY for the most part.

Offense, O line did not look worse, What I liked...multiple offensive sets. Many more than the past and I am sure they have more. This makes the opponents defense work harder during the week on their game plan. I like how we tried to use the TE. QB has some work to do and improve, my hope since he has not played a ton he will get better.
Defense was tight, UR D line goes 7 deep, DBs looked pretty good but were not threaten a lot by GF qb. Our inverts are new and I am used to them coming up and supporting better on the run. I am sure they will work it the next two weeks. This is our greatest weak spot on D.

Kicking game, 1 out of 4 wont cut it, if we go 3 out 4, it would have changed GF play calling quit a bit. GF is not as good as they have been in the past, but a win is a win.

Yeah, saw some small hints of creativity that is encouraging from the new OC. Passing game has to improve significantly to have a chance against Whitworth at the Pine Bowl.

Quote from: 10Freeway on September 08, 2025, 10:30:00 AMWatched the UR game Saturday night.  At first glance the Bulldogs OL looked much better, averaged 4.4 a carry which isn't bad.  I thought they averaged more just watching as George Fox was bad.  QB play was very lacking, which is becoming the norm at UR.  50% completion is not a good stat, but when you are just throwing the ball downfield, it's gonna be low.  Defense played superbly and were put in some bad situations.  Was shocked that they didn't record a sack on the night.

With a bye week before Whitworth, hopefully they get the QB spot fixed.  Chapman playing well against the #6 team in the country doesn't look to good for the rest of the SCIAC.

Agree that the OL looked better. They are bigger and moving better than the last few years which is a good thing. QB play was not inspiring, and it's kind of mind boggling as Redlands used to be able to get strong QB options through the door easily. It's his first start, so hopefully just nerves at a play.

George Fox QB could not throw the ball, so tough to tell what the defense will look like until they face a true passing attack. Front 7 looked good though.

Quote from: wildcat11 on September 05, 2025, 01:55:07 PMAlmost noon on the day before the 'Cats season opener and no season preview, no Oshkosh preview, etc.  (EDIT: Preview is posted, I'll stop with my bi*ching)

At least they finally update the coaches.  I thought it would be tough for Brett Elliott to be the head coach at L&C and the OC with Linfield at the same time.

Did they promote the intern to replace the SID legend, Kelly Bird?

Quote from: wildcat11 on September 05, 2025, 02:02:05 PMHey don't forget all games are now behind a paywall in the NWC.  SO EXCITED FOR THIS GREAT PARTNERSHIP as you now have the honor of forking over $20 a month for something that has been free for years.

Redlands and Flosports should have to pay me to watch mediocre at best football.

Zero coverage or news on Redlands that I can find as of today. The Redlands Daily Facts and San Bernardino Sun used to cover Redlands extensively, but not a morsel of coverage anywhere.

Quote from: MonroviaCat on August 07, 2025, 09:05:39 PMIt's a long list of Linfield greats at the QB (and other) positions.  This might not be the one your are thinking of though....

I was thinking Aaron Bohme if he's still coaching.

Quote from: RFBredux on August 07, 2025, 10:38:17 AMFootball season is upon us. Can Redlands break 3 wins this season? I'm not so sure they can.

They absolutely have to win game 1. If they lose to George Fox at home again it's hard to see things trending up from there.

Assuming they get Tremain back they should be improved, right?

I hope Tremain is healthy and Redlands doesn't rely on him solely at the position like years past. It was just 2 seasons ago where the backup couldn't complete a simple pass to save his life.

Quote from: MonroviaCat on August 07, 2025, 02:44:18 PMRumor is it's another former Linfield QB...

Another Linfield great if it's who I think you're talking about.

Football season is upon us. Can Redlands break 3 wins this season? I'm not so sure they can.

This board used to be flush with activity and is just about dead.

Who is replacing Brett Elliott as OC at Linfield?

Quote from: 10Freeway on July 25, 2025, 12:06:54 PMChapman has promoted their OC to Interim HC.

Chapman Interim HC

Chapman is the most attractive job in the conference in my opinion, and the best they could do is promote an interim? That's how you get a Jim Good type coach to sink your program.

When you take into consideration how short notice they had to fill the head coaching job, an interim-H.C. is to be expected.

They had plenty of time. Lewis & Clark hired Brett Elliott from Linfield in a similar amount of time, so don't buy it.

So Bob retired in early May and we are in July and that is plenty of time?  OK?  Either way, this guy has been with the Panthers for a dozen years, so he is qualified for an opportunity.  Just one Chapman Alumnus opinion.  My son played at CLU.

Jim Good was a lead assistant for a decade as well, and we all saw how that turned out. Sure, let him lead Chapman for a season, and then hire an accomplished coach to lead the program!
