FB: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

I was wondering when Macon would remember the film and expose our secondary...

Tough day with giving up the big plays, but glad to see we fought for four quarters and did not have stupid penalties.

Great game by Shenandoah.  I hadn't expected CWRU to win.  Their passing offense is something else!

Yes, an uncharacteristic way for RMC to win a game. One long pass where the receiver beat the secondary, plus two long pass TDs with credit to the receivers for great runs after the catch. Also, one other big pass play where the receiver just beat his defender and made a nice catch before going out of bounds. The Jackets racked up 241 of their 310 passing yards on those four plays. Maryville did a good job containing the RMC running game giving up only 143 yards on 42 attempts. In all, a solid win for RMC, but hard to know how the team will fare in ODAC play.

H-SC won a high scoring affair, 43-41, way up in Maine vs University of New Englalnd.

Shenandoah lost a high scoring game in Cleveland 48-41 to Case Western Reserve. DagarmanSpartan's comment about the SU passing game has me concerned.

Salisbury easily handled W&L 43-13.

Averett hosts Gallaudet tonight.

Bridgewater, Guilford, and Roanoke had their bye weeks. They play next week, while the the five ODAC teams who played today are idle. Then it's seven straight weeks of conference action.

As for last week's RMC opponent, Johns Hopkins, the were handled easily today by Susquehanna, 49-23. That makes the win over Hopkins perhaps less remarkable than it seemed last week. Still a very good win, but with maybe a little less shine on it now.

What an offensive battle today between Shenandoah and Case Western Reserve.

456 total yards vs 490 total yards

Their QB had over 400 yards passing and 4 TDs.

He did, however, throw one pick six, which was the point differential in the game.

The H-SC/UNE game turned into a track meet.  UNE backs had 192, 143 and 108 yards, respectively.  Fortunately, UNE had almost no passing game (29 yards), and Terry Hicks had a monster 317 yards for the Tigers.
