Quote from: CarollFan on October 18, 2025, 05:17:37 PMWe'll see after the WashU/Wheaton game but I think WashU and Augie are going to be playing for the Isthmus Bowl last week of the season.

When is Augie/Wesleyan game? 

11/1 @ Augie.

If IWU pulls it off they both could end up 6-4. Should be good game.
They both have QB's that can sling the ball.
IWU QB statistically #1 in conference, Augie QB #2.

The two best QB's in the league are, in order, Garret Wilson of NCC and Mark Forcucci from Wheaton. You have to equalize all the stats (attempts, completions, %, TD, INT, etc) and the stat that does that is Efficiency. Wilson has a 205 eff and Forcucci is 177. They are #2 and 14 in the nation respectively.

Ok. For 11/1 IWU and Augie game the 2 QB's with the most passing yards? Currently.

USee

Yes, and the most attempts (by almost double). Smythe is completing just over 50% of his passes. You want your QB completing 65% or so. IWU has no credible run game so Smythe is the main offensive threat.

TECHNICALLY, everyone who plays defense in the CCIW is a candidate for DPOY. Now, they won't win because of the dominance of Sullivan, but they are candidates.    ;D

correction appreciated. adding *viable to the statement.....I love the details!

After missing the game vs Carroll and playing hobbled vs North Central, Wheaton QB Mark Forcucci is on an absolute heater the last two games. His combined stats vs IWU and Carthage:

37-44 (84%) 604 yds 10 TD's, 2 INT (one of those went through the hands of the WR).

That's rare air for Forcucci, who has played really well this year.

Logan sez:

North Central 59, Augustana 0  (NCC 100%, AC 0%)
Carroll 34, Elmhurst 8  (CU 95%, EU 5%)
Carthage 30, Millikin 15  (CC 83%, MU 17%)
Illinois Wesleyan 40, North Park 19  (IWU 91%, NPU 9%)
Wheaton 43, Washington MO 21  (WC 92%, WUSTL 8%)

Home teams in bold.

Logan's algorithm predicts that four of the five games will be monkey-stompings (d3boards.com football parlance for a win of three touchdowns or more), with only the MU @ CC game being even remotely close -- and, while I don't know what the Carthage health situation is at this moment, I do know that MU has three defensive secondary starters out, so the Firebirds, who've leaned heavily upon the rushing of Bryce Frank and Mark Hunter this season, may be able to diversify their offense for a change on Saturday.

Couple of health/injury updates for NCC...

Starting safety Ethan Enriquez and starting cornerback Jahmar Daniel both have not played since leaving the WashU game injured. Daniel was dressed on Saturday, so I assume he is close to being back. Backup safety Kyler Green got hurt during the Wheaton game and has not played since either, leaving sophomore transfer (Indiana Wesleyan) Gabriel Gyorgy as the next man up at safety. I think at some point we will see last year's starting safety, Kenny Rutherford, return as well. He tore his Achilles against Wheaton last season.

On offense, not sure if it is a health thing or what, but starting RG John Golden routinely leaves the game for backup Alex Knaperek for a few series in the first half of most games.  Also, thought it was notable that freshman wide receiver David Ballard III got a schemed shovel pass early in the game last week. He blocked a punt on special teams as well. He has been terrific in the JV games, and the coaching staff is really excited about him in the future.

Last note: when was the last time a player was All-American on defense one season and then All-American on offense the next season, or vice versa? I think Cortez Jones has a real shot at it, whether it be this season or next at right tackle.

I don't think there's anyone who's done it on our team in our 26 years.

Back in the 1980's, before D3.com and when AA awards were few and far between, Wheaton had a player named Ernie Frey who was a first team all CCIW LB and then was among the conference leaders in passing the next year as a 2nd team all CCIW QB.

Future CCIW member CUW looks like they are in position to take the NACC and get a AQ for the playoffs.
