FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Dr. Doolittle]

Any Cal Lu guys thinking Lugo needs to be gone? 23-32 as a head coach and never had a winning season in the SCIAC.

Lugo is not a good coach, leader or man.  He is not honest and cares about himself, not the players.  My son played 4 years and started over 20 games, played in over 30.  His opinion that I am relaying.

[Dr. Doolittle]

Complete and total domination by the Bulldogs. Crazy after ULV had given CMS all they could handle a week before. Maybe the Bulldogs are figuring some things out? They were good in the 2nd half against Chapman too.

This Cal Lu team losing on Homecoming to this Pomona team is a very bad look. Pomona is in a rebuilding year and Cal Lu has an all-conference caliber QB and a stud group of WRs. Can't lose that game. Lutherans have done nothing to address their run game struggles. 2.6 yards per carry isn't going to get it done. If anyone in admin over there cares, Cal Lu needs to do some soul searching.

Same problem, No offensive line or running game for 8 years

Early Pick, no AI color on it ...

The Regals vs. the Leo's. Despite Doc, I am going with the Regals...if they could run the ball, it would be a lock, but LV dbs cannot tackle. Lutes by 10

Regals (oops Reginas, thanks Cat) vs. the Underwear Runners, I always take athletes and speed over brains and brawn in D3 Football. The Orange Panthers by 7

PU vs. PP, The Hens will get tear up the cats, APU has worse linemen in the SCIAC, amazed that none of the transfer's helped. Hens wont crack by 14 eggs

Richard Millhouse Nixon vs. Running Dogs, as I stated last week if the Dogs can run on LV they win, same case this week. I like what I see out of Whittier, they play very hard. Dogs will eat ...by many

Agree Old Dog, Whittier should not score against the Bulldogs.

CLU is playing La Verne and Chapman this week?   

I think Whittier scores once on Redlands--I've watched a little and Whittier's QB throws a nice ball.  I think they score on break away pass type play (broken coverage or just luck) or get close enough to make a FG.  Other than that--I think all these picks are spot on.

[that guy 31]

First place in the SCIAC is on the line Saturday night as CMS travels to Chapman. Both teams enter at 5-1 overall and 4-0 in conference play.

CMS has been impressive defensively all season and features one of the conference's most dangerous offensive weapons in Noah Macapulay, who leads the SCIAC in receptions and receiving yards.

Expect a physical battle where turnovers, special teams execution, and limiting costly mistakes could be the difference.

Chapman has won five straight against CMS, a streak the Stags are looking to snap as both teams fight to remain undefeated in conference play.

Claremont defense is good but hasn't been dominant and they have been very inconsistent on offense. They go long periods during games where they just can't get anything going. Macapulay is a jet out there but outside of him they have trouble generating explosives and Champan will do everything in their power to make other people beat them.

Chapman is the class of the conference. Panthers by two scores.

SCIAC WEEK 7 PREDICTIONS


Cal Lutheran at La Verne

Prediction: Cal Lutheran 28 – La Verne 20

La Verne is coming off an embarrassing performance last week, but I expect a much better showing this Saturday. A strong week of practice and some added motivation should have the Leopards ready to compete. I see La Verne keeping this game closer than many expect, but ultimately, Cal Lutheran's ability to move the ball through the air will be the difference. The Kingsmen make enough plays offensively to escape with a win.


Redlands at Whittier

Prediction: Redlands 40 – Whittier 7

Whittier continues to struggle offensively, and I don't see that changing this week. Redlands should have a significant advantage in the trenches and will look to establish the running game early. If the Bulldogs control the line of scrimmage as expected, this game could get out of hand quickly. I expect Redlands to dominate from start to finish in a convincing road victory.


Azusa Pacific at Pomona-Pitzer

Prediction: Pomona-Pitzer 31 – Azusa Pacific 10

Pomona-Pitzer's defense is starting to look like one of the more legitimate units in the conference. The Sagehens have shown they can make life difficult for opposing offenses, and I don't see Azusa Pacific having the firepower to consistently move the football. Pomona-Pitzer controls this game defensively and cruises to another conference victory.


CMS at Chapman — GAME OF THE WEEK

Prediction: Chapman 31 – CMS 21

Without question, the biggest matchup of Week 7. Both teams enter undefeated in conference play, and the winner will take control of the SCIAC championship race.

CMS has been impressive defensively all season, but its offense has been inconsistent at times. On the other side, Chapman's defense has established itself as one of the best in the conference, while Fischer Huss continues to give the Panthers a dangerous rushing attack.

I believe this game will ultimately come down to two things: turnovers and special teams. Both defenses are capable of making game changing plays, and whichever team protects the football and avoids costly mistakes will have a significant advantage.

Chapman has won five straight meetings against CMS, and I expect that streak to continue. The Panthers have the defensive toughness and offensive balance to take control of this game. I expect a physical battle early, but Chapman pulls away in the second half and puts itself in the driver's seat for the SCIAC title.

Man, I felt sorry for Coach White at WC Saturday night at their homecoming game getting boat raced. I think the QB's are getting tested for being color blind today.

UR, advise to the OC, run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, keep the O line the jab....dont get cute the last two games. Keep the D off the field for more than three plays.

[olddog]

This week in the SCIAC...

The Regals visit the Purple Pens, despite sweet uniforms, the Pens will get whipped by the Lady Lutes, 28+

The Hens vs. the Panthers, Panthers will feast on the Hens, 10+

The Cat Bowl, the Leo's will take down the old Cougars ....LV by 14+...just cant believe how bad those older transfers are, soft ...reason they transferred

The Chubby Dogs vs. Loaded $tag$, $tag$ by 10, this game has the makings of an upset. If UR can find a running game. The OC does not need to get cute and lets his two running backs run downhill and control the possession clock, they have a chance. Nothing cute from the OC, use your tight ends and just let these chubby linemen block straight ahead.
Limit their number of kick slides and moving of the feet by my overweight O line. . QB runs boot well, set it up...Sometimes you don't have to the smartest guy in the room OC, just execute.
