NE10 Week 6 Scores

[cwfenn]

I don't see the trap when you're playing a team that scores 15 ppg and gives up 50 on average. UNH is a strange team.

I do agree with you, NH is a strange team this year. Also, though, St. A. had trapped them three times now, especially in 2010 when beating them meant a playoff spot.

There is a track around the field and a huge amount of standing room area. There are only seats on one side (4000), but there is a standing room concourse along the visitors side. 10k is not outrageous as far as fitting that many, the fact that they got that many is harder to believe. They are in a 4 year ramp-up to be full D1 and their schedule includes an NAIA team from North Dakota, Franklin Pierce who is now NE10 - D2 team moved up from a Sprint Football program, Virginia Lynchburg, a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association. It would seem that they are ramping up slowly and hand picking teams. So how good is the NEC is my question?

I know they left the conference after last year but did anyone notice somehow someway Merrimack packed Duane Stadium last weekend with a record 10k+ for their homecoming game against Bryant? I'm still trying to figure out how they got that many people in such a small stadium where capacity is only at 4k. While they haven't beaten a FCS opponent yet this season they actually have been pretty competitive in 3 out of the 4 FCS games they've played losing by a score in each of those games.

Go back to the PSAC board and rag on those teams.

Been there, doing that.

I know what a trap game is but having watched CAL U play them in week one, I think I can say, that a team that has won 7 games in 4 years is an inferior team. Not in the sense that they aren't trying, but they simply don't have the players. It isn't easy to give up an average of 50 ppg. The VULCANS took a lot of grief on the PSAC page for even scheduling the game. The CHARGERS scored more points the CAL U did vs IUP and then crushed STONEHILL and beat PACE before losing to the HAWKS. Well, hopefully they got that game out of their system and are ready to take it to SCSU.

What happens if STONEHILL wins but gets stomped AGAIN by NHU on 11/16 ???

[CALUPA69]

Yep, mark your calendars for 11/9. Pace at Stonehill could be the league championship game!

This is one of the craziest years in the NE10 I have ever remembered.

Hi Board

Well my chaotic life caught up with me once again. I am done with my big move but will be unboxing for quite some time. was both too busy and too involved and with no computer to be able to participate last few weeks.

I was at the last home game and we our Stunned at this turn of events. No idea where these second half struggles have come from.


Earlier this year I talked about how I have never been a fan of rotating Quarterbacks and that is in my mind part of the problem. Another part of he problem is that we have always been a Quarterback dependent league and if you are rotating QB's it means that none of them are good enough to win the job outright and that is a bad sign.


I will still go to the home games and what up with the crazy schedule we got 4 weeks between home games early October to Early November in the middle of the season.

Clearly this years team was overrated and ks simply not performing as well as expected. The poor offense is putting too much pressure on our Defense and we fade late.

This season is gone and there will be a lot of soul searching about how and where we need to improve this program.

This season is not going to help our potential move to lower D1 as it raises the obvious question of if we cannot compete at the upper levels of our NE-10 League how are we going to do better in a tougher league.

I got questions now that I never expected to be asking this year sand Yes I am disappointed.

Another crazy weekend. St A beats New Haven in the final minute. Pace beats Assumption for the 1st time since 2008. Stonehill is 4-1, 3-0 NE10 and the lone undefeated team in the league. And SCSU has won 2 in a row with their frosh QB. This league is unpredictable right now and anyone is capable of winning each week.
