28-7.

28-13. The Kutztown QB just ran 75 yards for a TD with some amazing moves on a bewildered defender!

35-13 Harding 3rd qtr 6:55

These officials are terrible. Did anyone see the onside kick call? 🦨

I didn't see anything wrong on the play.

42-13 Harding. They just knocked away another TD with their excellent coverage.

I've wondered how a 1 dimensional team like Harding is able to have such a good pass defense. Do they recruit good passers with the understanding they will run the scout team only?

Speed kills. Harding with another long run from a player no one can catch. 49-13.

Thanks for the updates WT_TKW.

Harding wraps it up 49-27. Kutztown has a similar offense to PB, in that the QB gets most of the yards on the ground as well as throwing for a lot. Junior Judd Novak accounted for 385 yards (140 rushing) today, despite throwing his only pick of the SEASON.

I like both of these teams a lot. I also like Ferris, but I really have no idea who will win next week.

Novak went to high school about 15 minutes from where I live and he’s gotten them to the national semis twice. I think that while there are similarities with UTPB, the level of athlete and play in the LSC is quite a bit higher than the PSAC. I think PB would have a real chance to beat both the losing teams today.

Ferris-they’re a D1 team, and they’ve run that program as a D1 program for a while now. I think they’re taking it again.

I agree PB would likely have beaten both.

Ferris is kind of an odd, but formidable team. They are a bit like the Borg, it doesn't really matter if they lose players, they just bring in different ones and win.

They gave up a ton of yards vs UTPB. But looked solid yesterday.

I don't know who wins next week, but I know I will be there. 😊

Yeah I wish they would have a week break and hold this after Christmas.

For some reason all my family likes to plan stuff right before and during Christmas. 😂

Having seen UTPB quite a bit in the playoffs I would say they would beat KU 7 times out of 10. Newberry harder to gauge the way they went Hyde yesterday but I think Jekyll only shows up 3 out of 10 as well against PB.

[codeblack]

UTPB beats both of those teams.

Bisons typical have 110 - 120 players each year. They recruit for three teams: Flexbone Offense, Spread Offense and Spread Defense. Best athletes typically play defense. They carry 4-5 QBs, two for the Bone, two for Spread. All receivers must be blockers and pass catchers. No true tight ends needed. They are just another tackle.

They recruit special kinds of players. Players must really buy into the Brotherhood - unselfish, do-it-for-your-team mates concept. They tend to have more academic All-Americans they most D2 programs.
