FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[Bison Bill]

Good? I'm not sure.

Much better than last year? Yes absolutely. This years team would crush last years team. Not even close.

I would imagine we are average, but it's hard to tell because we have been bad for so long. I'm not sure we know what a good team would look like.

To me, being good for Bethany is being 5-5.  If they are in the game in the 4th Qtr against BW, W&J, & GCC, call it a great season. 

You have a hell of a QB.  Looks like he has some other weapons to work with this year.  Who knows, 6-4 or even 7-3 isn't out of the question with this schedule.   The Geneva game will tell you a lot as they were last years most improved team.  SVC did throw a lot of points on the board without giving up many last week.  Maybe they improved also.

In 2025 Bethany lost 41-6, the 40-37 win is a huge turnaround, if only for the offense.

The most competitive game this week is Westminster vs F&M Hansen has F&M 25-23 Massey 24-23

Shenandoah vs Geneva is the only other competitive game Hansen Shenandoah 32-23 Massey 31-21

W&J, Allegheny and Hiram are favored to win
Bethany, Thiel, Waynesburg and Grove City are underdogs.

CWRU and St Vincent aren't scheduled.

St Francis just started practice for first game 9/26

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.

It's criminal that they couldn't find a game for this week. Play Keystone and let W&J find a more competitive game.That would have allowed them two more weeks of practice before facing Gove City, their PAC debut.

That is why its a 60 minute game.  Grove City took it to Mount and was the better team.  They controlled the game for 59 minutes 48 seconds. Unfortunately that is all that matters. 

They should be tough, especially if the RB (Ranken) isn't seriously hurt.

As for Bethany,  that was a tough one.

[ADL70]

Grove City acquitted themselves quite well.

Bethany Are all the athletes on offense?

Westminster and Geneva each laid a giant ostrich egg.

Otherwise favorites won and underdogs lost.

CWRU needs to be ready for Shenandoah next Saturday.
