Colorado School of Mines Vs. Harding University. - Championship Chatter.

[DawgUp]

Probably a bit of both. GV entirely changed their defensive scheme specifically for Harding. They hadn't used a 5-2-4 formation the entire year except for Harding. Forced the OL to have to make an extra block at the LOS instead of having one of the OL get to the second level right off the snap. Mines is sticking with their regular 4 DL and they're getting dominated as a result. Playing right in to what Harding wants to do, especially since their tackles aren't good enough to stop the dive.

What game are you watching? Mines is running a base 3-4 def the whole game. NW and Ferris both were able to handle Harding running 4 DL. If the 4 DL can take away the FB you have a hope of slowing them down.

Just baffling. They score on another pitch. There is no deception on a pitch, you know where the ball is going, I just don't understand how the defense can't react better than that to a pitch.

It's not that easy. The pitch comes after they already faked the dive to the FB, which has been gashing Mines all day. They don't have the scheme or discipline to stop both on the same play.

28 - 7 Harding Road Graders in a route. SR3 rules D2 football. The top four teams in the country are Harding and then UCM. Grand Valley, Pitt State (you pick the order)

Mines is looking like they're quitting already.

Didn’t think the Pitch would be what ended up killing Mines the most.

That play is what killed ucm.

Ferris and NW have better DT's than Mines does lol.

[KleShreen]

Mines might not even get 3 more possessions. This one might already be over lol

Plus the 2 gaps the QB can choose to cut it up into instead of pitching.

UCM was in the game until that blocked kick at the end.

You're right. Sometimes one of the LB's is putting his hand on the ground. Either way, they don't have the talent up front to stop it by doing that.

Might just be. 26 yards shy of 6000 yards rushing on the year for Harding.

[bigmrg74]

That's just not even fair letting Harding throw down the field.

[KleShreen]

Harding is just playing with their food at this point.

[cwfenn]

Those passes are back breakers.

[Gorilla John 92]

I was expecting more from mines on offense. What was gv's demise in their game at mines.

As for this game. It's over. Never dreamt it would be a blowout
