Tip of the hat to Coach Raby and his Cardinals earning a post season bowl bid!
I cant understate how incredible it is to see this team turn it around in such a short time!
Well done Coach and Cards- you earned this!

Hoping Ithaca woke the Dragons up and got them breathing fire! Toss in some anger and revenge from last year and I'm thinking we can get the win!

Survive and advance and hoping to see us take a crack at Hopkins! LFG!

Springfield graduated basically the entire offense, and you can see their numbers have dipped across the board. Also, Tom Blumenhauer played at IC and IC was not intimidated at all by triple option teams (and still aren't) So they won't need to win this one 45-40

But Springfield's defense looks very strong this year. And Cortland's offense has struggled against better opponents than what the E8 typically offered.

I think 24-20 Red Dragons sounds about right
