Oh man I forgot about that transfer portal comment. You just can't have that kind of attitude in 2026 college football.

Did we Mount Union have ANY noteable transfers in this year?

there were some WR transfers brought up in an offseason interview with Mikey.  But currently the program that put Pierre and Cecil into the NFL for years, Junior onto NFL practice squads, Namdar, Denton, Ruby, Hill etc getting pro football looks and none of them broke all of the WR records has Mason Ashby at 5'8, OP Knox at 150 lbs and a couple of seniors that can't get open

Any hopes Mount comes out of the off week transformed?

Any hopes Mount comes out of the off week transformed?

I think it needs to start on Defense.  I googled the most points given up by Mount Union in a game:

2013:  (50)  62-59 win vs Wesley in Quarterfinals
2013:  (52)  52-14 Loss to UWW in Stagg
1999:  (51)  57-51 Triple OT win vs John Carroll
2007:  (44)  44-34 Loss to Mary Hardin-Baylor in the Stagg Bowl
2013:  (40)  41-40 win vs North Central in Semifinals
2009:  (38)  38-28 Loss to UWW in the Stagg Bowl
2026:  (37)  37-31 Loss to Hedelberg
2019:  (34)  34-14 Loss to North Central in Second Round
2013:  (34)  42-34 Win vs John Carrol in Regular Season
2016:  (31)  31-28 Loss to John Carroll in Regular Season Finale
2001:  (30)  33-30 win over John Carroll in Regular Season

The majority are in the playoffs or to JCU who was a perennially nationally ranked team.

I can't find a way to justify giving up 37 to Heidelberg.  Especially when we had Five Interceptions on Defense.

Getting 5 INTs on defense and losing 37-34 tells me the D did their job, the O cant keep the ball and get points.

Giving up an 82 yard TD reception, a 69 yard reception and a 62 yard reception didn't help either.

Offensively they just don't seem to have found their rhythm.  I was anticipating that Maloney would run the ball more, but it appears to be a lot of no read hand off plays.  Someone eluded to the fact that Maloney wasn't 100%.  That may have something to do with it.  Also not having any big play threats at WR.

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

Mount Union only has three rushing TDs in the first three games.  That stands out to me.  Longest Rush is for Bo (55 yards).

the Mount-BW game just got bumped to a 4:00 (BW and Flo say 3:00) kickoff due to being on the Flo Sports channel on Amazon Prime

Any hopes Mount comes out of the off week transformed?

I can't wait to see "the changes" Dartt promised during his post-game interview with the Repository guy.  I wonder if either coordinator will be headed up to the booth?  Probably get a better view of what's going on, but leaving the sideline vibes to Jeff with a G?  I don't know if that's a good idea, could it get any lower energy?

Two weeks to get things right prior to Muskie...no offense to our friends in New Concord, but it better be an absolute beatdown

That list isn't close to correct, the AI summary did quite a bit of hallucinating, here's a few corrections and additions I noticed:

2019 was 59-52 against NCC , I vividly remember the defense being optional at that one.
2007 Stagg Bowl was against UWW and it was 31-21
2014 Stagg Bowl was a 43-34 loss against UWW
1999 UMU gave up 33 in a W against Augustana
2015 Stagg Bowl was a 49-35 W
2013 UMU had a 70-45 W against Alfred in the playoffs
2013 UMU also had a 44-34 W against Berg

This inspired me to do some digging by hand, here are all the games mount gave up 30+ points in the last 10 years.

for clarity I just put the amount of points given up and the opponent and result

2019 59 NCC        Loss
2016 45 Alfred    Win
2024 41 NCC        Loss
2017 40 UW Oshkosh Win
2017 37 Frostburg  Win
2024 37 JHU Win
2026 37 ONU Loss
2018 35 Centre  Win
2021 35 ONU Win
2021 35 JHU Win
2016 31 JCU Loss
2024 31 JCU Win

Great, now they may lose with more eye balls watching!

there's only one program in D3FB that is guaranteed to get eyeballs, and it's not BW.  A November loss on "national TV" and the son-in-law might be out in the garage for Kehres family Thanksgiving

[BergAlum2]

Maybe not for Mount but already this OAC season seems like its going to be way more fun to watch.  I don't think Heidelberg will get the job done next week against BW, but should be a good game.  Also after that you got BW vs ONU, and along the way Marietta might upset some folks.  Really think we are going to get a 8-0 BW vs. a 6-2 Mount, essentially a playoff game for Mount.  You know BW will be coming into town looking to make a statement. 


Wish that 3:00 kickoff was a 7PM one, a night game would be more electric, plus its long been time for ya'll to have an OAC conference night game again against a good opponent.

We lost to Heidelberg this year, not ONU.

that's time change season, it will essentially be a night game in Alliance.  That horrible yellow and brown will really pop
