I have a hard time thinking MU has better athletes than McCort.  Watch the hudl tapes that are available.  If they did MU wound not have lost in the ICC, to anyone.

Better skill players than McCort? Yo lay off the pipe. I just don't see that at all Walters is a bull at FB, then you got Andrews, Nash and Fleming who can all hurt you in the running game. You got Benton, Formica and Britt. Goins at TE. Cook is a tough kid at QB

Ridge Phillips is arguably the best LB in the area, Parrish is a stud, but its hard not to be impressed by Ridge that kid is solid.

I may eat my words but if Andrews and Goins are full bore, McCort by 3 scores

Here's how MU can win. We can't fumble or force passes into places they have no business being thrown. We can't hold the ball for 5 seconds in the pocket and take 77 sacks. Have to score when you move the ball well. Martin touches the ball over 30 times in the game. Posey has to be healthy because he's the best receiver on the team. The first guy to the ball on defense wraps up and uses their bodies instead of arm tackling or trying to strip the ball. Multiple defenders fly to the ball with the 3rd and 4th, etc being the ones trying to strip the ball. We need to contain the edge rushes. We need the line to get a push on both sides of the ball. Maybe we try to play 13-15 players on every defensive snap.


Why are we supposed to believe that inspired football will be played whenever we've went through the motion for the last 4 weeks?

Lol look at my name. I'm a PM and heritage fan. I picked Westmont. The two pm games I went to were so bad I watched 10 other teams instead.

Also to mention penns manor is a very small team this year. not only did they put the boots to mo Valley they should have a better record than what they do. 6 games were lost due to mental mistakes and turnovers. for a young, small team they are well coached and there heritage conference is a tough conference. if they play with out turnovers and their defense plays as good as they did against mo Valley I see them beating portage then Homer city

Ok I got one wrong...big deal? I didn't know you were perfect. Next week they get my mustangs though and I'd be willing to say that they don't turn the ball over 6 times.

Totally agree GoldenRam. If you want to beat Portage you have to play a solid mistake free game. They do their thing in Portage year after year and it's hard to stop that O... especially at Portage.

Mount Union always seem to have the best athletes ( at least in ICC) but they always seem to find ways to lose. That is the book on them. " punch them in the mouth the quit".quote from an unnamed player.
