FB: Ohio Athletic Conference

[MUC 2008]

So much for the starters playing sparingly in the second half.  They're just trying to just hold on to what's somehow a 24-16 lead in Bexley.  At some point you're not playing down to the level of mediocre teams and you yourself are just a pretty average team.  If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

It Dartt's like a duck.

If Mount holds on to win, would this be considered signature Geoff Dartt victory?

Two score game now with 8:48 left. Nothing is decided about this game.

Yes, this is indeed a signature Geoff Dartt victory.

Now - will Mount Union go DOWN in the rankings for the third straight week after a WIN?  That ain't easy to do.

Good thing they don't have The Little Sister's of the Poor scheduled before
Baldwin Wallace or you would be looking at a 3 loss team BEFORE that big game.

I'm not a mathematician, but one would have to think that Maryville upsetting Trinity would be an unexpected bump to Heidelberg's NPI (and BW's slightly). Rose-Hulman vs Hanover will be a big one next week for the Berg's SOS

Kudos to Grove City for picking up another W.

Looking at season stats this morning.  Six games in Mount has two guys with more than one sack on the season.  In 2021 Duke Hill topped the team with 5.5 sacks on the season.  We might be lucky to hit that number for the leader this year (Gibson has 3 sacks).  The last four seasons thanks to Brown and Moore they had at least one guy with double digit sacks each season including one year they had three (those two plus Factor).  Mount is ranked 5th in the OAC in scoring defense at 21.5 ppg allowed.

Maloney pushed his passing yds/gm out over 316 ypg now.  He's easily leading the conference there.  Bubonics has been very efficient for BW with 22 TD passes and only 2 picks.  Two good RB, efficient QB and the defense allowing the fewest points in the OAC it may be now or never for the Jackets against Mount. 

I'm in no way advocating to bench Minner, but he's at 4.6 yds/carry and Bokman is at 7.7 yds/carry.  Bo got a lot more touches yesterday than last week so that was a good sign.  Again, not saying tell Minner to grab some bench, but Bokman should be at least getting even split IMO.

I've been wondering about the Minner/Bokman split moving forward. Minner just doesn't look as explosive or quick as he was last year. I hear you on the Dline. They are good players, but nobody is getting pressure consistently. That gives QBs all day to scan the defense. I haven't watched the Oline, but I also feel like as a unit they haven't moved guys like our units have in the past.
