FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[DagarmanSpartan]

Ok, that was a much more dominating performance than I had anticipated.

27 to 9 on first downs and 445 to 164 in total offense.

Filips, with 356 passing yards and four TDs is definitely BACK!!!

I was impressed with our pass rush and pass coverage.

Beltran is definitely an asset at receiver with over 12 yds per catch and a TD reception.

And now we get TWO WEEKS to prepare for Shenandoah.

Could be interesting!

SFU fan here.  I'll try and post a little this year.  It has been rough so far and I can't imagine we win any games this season with a dozen returners.  Going forward I think they will be fine as coach V is a great coach but that might be a few season from now.  The university has some pretty serious financial issues and it appears they are making some massive cuts so don't expect SFU to raise the PAC's profile.  They even changed the mascot but don't have the money to change the signage so I am told we will be Red Wolves/Flash for a while longer LOL.  Let me know if anyone has any questions and I can give you the scoop and my opinions.

The stats you cited show that the game was not a close as the score.

Rochester's first two TDs were via a KOR and blocked punt. Wolf also muffed a punt that rolled 25 yards behind him to the 2. Other than Petrozzi's 47-yard FG and 5/5 PATs, special teams were not as "stout" as you suggested.

My intuition about TE/H-B Renshaw was faulty. He and Maisenbacher split time at TE. The big guy Meschede lined up primarily at H-B, but also FB and TE. He was, I would guess, in about half of the snaps.

Beltran also scored a 6-yard rushing TD from the double-wing-short-yardage formation. On that play Renshaw was lined up behind Filips, who was under center.

Welcome to the board!  I'm sure that there will be a few years of adjustment, but PA is too rich in HS football talent and tradition for you guys to stay down for long.

Looking forward to our inaugural matchup.

Welcome to the PAC

Do you know if practice began this week? As I understand the rule they could have begun on the 3rd.

Sounds like they're headed to Division 4 football.

Pulling up the PAC stats for the week:

https://pacathletics.org/stats.aspx?path=football&year=2026

1) Bethany has some running backs! #1 and #2 leaders by yardage     
2) St Vincent QB has 6 Passing TDs
3) WR from Geneva had a heck of a game.   11 catches for 161 yards in their win.

Hiram played a very below average game and was still able to get a 4 TD win - I think that may say more about Oberlin than it does about the Terriers, but I'm still encouraged that Hiram can get itself firmly into the middle of the conference this year

[mikefln]

Well, outside of Case, the better teams in this conference lost.  GCC certainly doesn't have it any easier this week.

Proud of Bethany on a hard fought win, and man the Bearcats made a statement.  Can either team keep the momentum going?

Welcome to the PAC

Do you know if practice began this week? As I understand the rule they could have begun on the 3rd.

Yeah they just started last week. They do have a couple scholarship players returning. I would guess less than 10. I think I am going to try and check out a practice to see what they look like. The O line seems to be pretty inexperienced based on the roster and the D line seems to have the most depth.

W&J lost to Utica 26-11. In 2025 they also lost to Utica 49-31, but still won the PAC. But this season they only managed 291 yards of offense. Saturday they play beleaguered  Keystone who surprisingly got a win over Alvernia.

Grove City lost to Cortland 28-18, after falling behind 28-3 after 3. In 2025 they beat Cortland 31-14. Saturday, they face Mt Union as they did in 2025.

Westminster lost to Marietta 34-24, scoring 21 of its points in the fourth quarter after falling behind 20-3 after 3. Saturday they host Franklin & Marshall.

CWRU beat Rochester 38-20. Details are above.

Geneva beat Widener 21-14 with one of Widener's Tds coming on an interception. Geneva plays Shenandoah, who play CWRU the following week.

Bethany is my pick for most improved this season. They beat Sewanee 40-37.They have a roster of 134. 79 are freshman. Pat Reported 12 transfers from scholarship divisions. The two leading rushers were Brett Phillps QB who transferred from Frostburg in 2025 and Anthony Stallworth who was on Akron's roster in 2022, but I couldn't find any record of his playing there, or anywhere 2023-25.

The other winners have been mentioned above.

[Bison Bill]

Just watching the game on TV the Bethany roster looks like it has been upgraded.

The players look bigger and more athletic than years past.

The defense is fast and flies to the football. Sewanee was lucky to keep the game close.

Big test this week, but either way, we are definitely better than we were last year.
