Mr. C's Final Weekend Game Thread

[Mr. C]

On the final Saturday of the regular Football Championship Subdivision season, you kind of wish there was something like NFL Red Zone for FCS. Rather than being in a press box covering a game, or games, live today, I am trying an experiment for following all of the action today, with a bank of computers at my fingertips to stream as many games as possible. Feel free to comment on the action and to give updates on other important games as the day and evening progresses. I would love to see fans tell me their thoughts on who will make the 24-team playoff tournament as we follow the winners and losers as well. Also feel free to post links to any games that you may be streaming.

[Mr. C]

It is almost time for kickoff. Just noticed that The Citadel at South Carolina is blacked out on my computer, so that is a bummer. But I will be watching the 151st meeting of Lafayette and Lehigh in a few minutes, a rivalry I have witnessed in person several times in the past. Bet the wine an cheese is flowing freely outside of Goodman Stadium today. It is one of the more unique tailgating atmospheres I have experienced. If anyone has links to the CAA contests today, please pass them along.

[Mr. C]

It didn't take long for James Madison to get the jump on Villanova at home as Ravenel returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a TD. JMU 7-0.

[Mr. C]

I think JMU is probably in the field win or lose today. Villanova needs a win and some other favorable results.

[Mr. C]

Another early score puts The Citadel on top of South Carolina, 7-0. It took two plays as Cam Jackson raced 59 yards on second down for the TD.

[Nodak78]

I think JMU is probably in the field win or lose today. Villanova needs a win and some other favorable results.

Nova just tied it up 7-7

[Mr. C]

The Citadel obviously is in with a victory that would make the Bulldogs 8-3, but still might get in as the Southern Conference's second-best team with a strong performance in a loss.

[Mr. C]

That is huge for the Wildcats to come right back. VU has struggled offensively since losing QB and defending Walter Payton Award winner John Robertson. Great defense, but not a lot of offensive playmakers without Robertson (one of my favorite kids in FCS). A couple of nice completions from Zack Bednarcyk got the Cats started and Gary Underwood rumbled 32 yards for the score. Underwood has been an unsung star for VU for awhile.

[Mr. C]

In the oldest rivalry of the south, a game I was tempted to cover live today, William & Mary is off to a 3-0 lead on Nick Dorka's 45-yard field goal. The Tribe held off Richmond on the first possession and then marched 46 yards in 10 plays

[Mr. C]

William & Mary, to me, is a dark horse FCS title threat. Saw them a couple of weeks back at Elon. This could be the year that Jimmye Laycock finally gets to a championship game.

[PantherRob82]

William & Mary, to me, is a dark horse FCS title threat. Saw them a couple of weeks back at Elon. This could be the year that Jimmye Laycock finally gets to a championship game.

Are they really a dark horse? Outside of the Delaware game they have been a great team this year and are on everyone's radar.

[Mr. C]

In the battle for the Northeast Conference title, Zach Drayer has given St. Francis an early 7-0 lead with a 24-yard TD pass to Daniel Adams at Duquesne. St. Francis and Duquesne have never been the FCS playoffs and the winner earns an auto bid. Watching this game, as poor as the quality of the broadcast might be on ESPN3.

[Mr. C]

Are they really a dark horse? Outside of the Delaware game they have been a great team this year and are on everyone's radar.
Dark horse in terms of winning the title. I think the Tribe has been under-ranked all year. But this is a good, solid team, with defense, a senior QB, good RBs and WRs. Most people don't think of Bill & Mar when they think of teams winning the whole shooting match.

[Mr. C]

There is plenty of new material, by the way, on the playoffs and other stuff on my website, www.college-sports-journal.com

We will be updating stuff there throughout the weekend.

I guess I've watched them and have them on my short list.

[Mr. C]

Looks like another wild and wooly game between JMU and Villanova. JMU scores again on Jordan Brown's 45-yard interception return. That's 14 points for the Dukes and the offense hasn't don't anything yet. JMU 14, VU 7

- - - Updated - - -

JMU recovered an onside kick and has moved to the Villanova 44. Wild game in Harrisonburg, Va.

[Mr. C]

Game 151 between Lafayette and Lehigh is ready to start. It is also on ESPN3

[Mr. C]

Elon is quickly up on Delaware 7-0. You have to wonder if this is Dave Brock's last game for the Blue Hens? Bad decision letting K.C. Keeler go.

- - - Updated - - -

St. Francis just got a circus catch to get to the Duquesne 15 and then scored on another TD pass. 14-0 Red Flashes with 3:12 left in the first quarter.

[Mr. C]

The Citadel is all over South Carolina and my former Appalachian State buddy Shawn Elliott. It is 14-3 Bulldogs with 3:31 left in the first quarter. It was a 13-play, 75-yard drive for the triple-option Bulldogs. Tyler Renew went 7 yards for the second TD.

[Cleets]

Mr C (my old friend)
Is it just me - or does this seem like it has potential to be one of the most interesting fields in maybe the last 4 years...

[Mr. C]

Looks like Duquesne's quaint, little stadium is filled to overflowing in the Pittsburgh suburbs for this title game with St. Francis.

Key games that will start at the top of the hour:

Maine at New Hampshire
South Dakota at Illinois State
North Carolina Central at North Carolina A&T

Why is ESPN3 showing 1-9 Davidson at 3-7 Stetson? Or Youngstown State at Indiana State?

Maybe they are waiting for another Bo Pelini explosion.

[Mr. C]

There could be a three-way tie for the Ivy League title today, with Harvard needing a win at Yale, Dartmouth needing to beat Princeton at home and Penn a win away at Franklin Field against Cornell. 0-0 Dartmouth and Princeton at the end of a quarter.

[Mr. C]

Expected crowd of 16,000 today at Goodman Stadium for Lafayette-Lehigh (including the esteemed Chuck Burton). They just said that many of them are still in the tailgating area. Probably finishing off their wine and cheese.

Lafayette just missed a wind-blown field goal. Lehigh still leads 7-0.

[Mr. C]

St. Francis is using its running game to march down the field again. Inside the Duquesne 30.

[Mr. C]

Thought on the South Dakota-Illinois State game, which is nearing kickoff:

If South Dakota BEATS Illinois State, can the Coyotes make the playoff field with wins over two top-10 teams, North Dakota State and Illinois State, even with a 6-5 record?

- - - Updated - - -

St. Francis used a trick play on fourth and one to pick up a first down and keep its drive alive.

- - - Updated - - -

Forced pass into coverage for St. Francis and Josh Jordan out-fights a Red Flash WR for the ball and the interception.

I don't see USD getting in, even with the win. Too bad they couldn't hold on last week.

[Mr. C]

Jordan was a surprise starter today for Duquesne.

[Mr. C]

Another TD pass for Lehigh, which looks sharp on the passing game early.

Lehigh 14, Lafayette 0, 3:38 left in the first quarter

[Mr. C]

Late start for Harvard-Yale on NBC Sports Network at 2:30 p.m. That reminds me of that multiple-overtime game that Harvard won in the darkness a few years ago.

Lafayette never stood a chance, did they?

[Mr. C]

Lehigh just had a player ejected for targeting on a borderline call. I really hate that rule.

Anything can happen in rivalry games. Been awhile since Lehigh has won much against Lafayette, too.

WOW. What a scene at Illinois State for the game with South Dakota. Snow bowl time. Should make this game even more interesting. Game is on ESPN3.

What kills me is when the review makes it clear no ejection is warranted and they still eject them.

UNI actually had a targeting call overturned on review. I was shocked.

Duquesne ended a drive with a field goal to cut St. Francis' lead to 14-10 late in the first half.

[Mr. C]

Lehigh making it a blowout at Goodman Stadium. Now 21-0 over Lafayette. The cheese and wine will taste good at halftime.

Field goal looked wide left, but is called good for Illinois State as the Redbirds take a 3-0 lead against South Dakota.

I knew our 14 point lead would evaporate. Those leads are nothing in today's football. St. Francis blew it at the goal line when we had a chance to go up 21-10. We threw a stupid pass instead of running.

[Mr. C]

Big face mask penalty on Lafayette leads to another Lehigh score. Engineering Mountain Hawks (thanks to Otto Fad) lead 28-7 with still half of the second quarter to be played.

William & Mary got a field goal before the half to cut Richmond's lead to 7-6.

Tough to say who needs the win more. Should be a great 2nd half.

Lafayette at Lehigh
William & Mary at Richmond
Rhode Island at Towson (starting soon)

Brawl not listed on Eversport who does all the Big Sky games.

JMU settles for a field goal after the time out. 24-14 Dukes over Villanova, late in the third period.

[Mr. C]

Some interesting scenarios developing in the MEAC. North Carolina Central leads NCAT 7-3 late in the first half. If NCCU wins and Bethune-Cookman beats Florida A&M in the Florida Classic, as expected, that would leave the MEAC with tri-champions. Could the MEAC get a bid for one of its three champions (probably Bethune-Cookman)?

SoCon football is going to be fun to watch the next few years.

Maybe 2015 is the year SoCon puts their flag back on the national stage. The Citadel and UTC aren't going to be easy outs in the post season.

Shawn Elliott, the South Carolina coach and former App State DE and assistant, must have blown a gasket after that.

South Carolina had an incomplete pass on the replayed fourth down and The Citadel goes into victory formation for its 23-22 win. Safe to say that the Bulldogs are in the playoffs. Citdog must being doing some dancing right now.

Winning on a penalty at the end is a new one. Probably was actually an illegal formation flag. That allows a play to continue to conclusion. A false start, as ESPN reported it, does not.

Watching the replay of that play shows the inside receiver at the top of the formation, took a step back right before the snap. The officials made the correct call but they will probably get pounded for it.

Not sure what the call was. I heard a whistle during the long pass to Cooper (you even saw Citadel players stop running). They said men were not set on the line, but certainly didn't look like it.

Could have been an inadvertent whistle type thing. Tough for USC to have that happen on a TD pass, but it probably isn't a touchdown pass if Citadel defenders had not given up on the play.

If it was a whistle during the play, that is for a false start. If there was no whistle and the play was allowed to continue, it is illegal formation. One of the old coordinators from the SoCon and Sun Belt taught me that one a bunch of years ago.

[KnightoftheRedFlash]

Duquesne with a nice on-field celebration after beating St. Francis 30-20. Don't expect the Dukes to advance past the first round after what I've seen of NEC play this season.

I hope Duquesne loses by 50.

[Mr. C]

Not expecting much from this game, but just flipped on North Dakota State at Missouri State on ESPN3. Bison lead 7-0 three minutes in.

[Mr. C]

I hope Duquesne loses by 50.
A little bitter? The Red Flashes played well early. Three turnovers killed them, particularly that one in the end zone that would have extended the lead in the first half. That might have killed Duquesne.

[Mr. C]

Probably an outside chance that Eastern Illinois could sneak a bid. Watching that one on ESPN3, with the Panthers ahead of Eastern Kentucky 7-0 at the half.

[KnightoftheRedFlash]

A little bitter? The Red Flashes played well early. Three turnovers killed them, particularly that one in the end zone that would have extended the lead in the first half. That might have killed Duquesne.

No crap. What, I should be happy that my team lost a chance at the playoffs and extend well-wishes to a conference mate? I don't care about the NEC. It is a tacky league with incompetent refs and small stadiums. I am not a conformist. I don't like conferences.

We are the Red Flash, not the Red Flashes.

When, I saw that INT, I knew that the game momentum had changed.

[Mr. C]

Interesting to see Western Illinois in bright sunshine at Macomb, while it is snowing like made in Normal for the Illinois State game.

I know that fact. But I still dislike the idea of conferences. It leads to a bunch of silly tribalism. College football was better with wide spread independence.

[Mr. C]

Another team that had an astronomical hope of reaching the playoffs, Western Carolina, has gone down to VMI 20-17 with about three minutes left.

[Mr. C]

South Dakota State, which has seemed to be over-ranked this season, was looking pretty poor as it trailed 3-0 to Western Illinois with under 10 minutes left in the second quarter, but the Bunnies stopped a Leatherneck drive and are now running the ball into the red zone.

[citdog]

23-22 over Carolina!

[Mr. C]

On third and goal, SDSU has near disaster on a slant that goes off a helmet before falling incomplete. The Jackrabbits settle for a game-tying 24-yard FG to match WIU at 3-all.

It is quite impolite to take the check, their pride, their dignity, and the WIN back down I-26 !

[Mr. C]

And, oh, by the way, the Bison just scored again to go up on hapless Missouri State 20-0. Around 10 minutes left in the first half.

[Mr. C]

It is quite impolite to take the check, their pride, their dignity, and the WIN back down I-26 !

Eastern Illinois still maintaining a playoff heartbeat with a 21-0 lead over what looked to be a promising Eastern Kentucky team early in the year. The Colonels have collapsed after the overtime loss to Kentucky.

[citdog]

May Army have your head coach?

Nope. He is OUR Mike Ayers

[Mr. C]

VMI made one last grasp against WCU. The Keydets (whatever that is) are going to come up short, however, with a 24-20 loss. Spoke to soon. A bad spot keeps alive the Keydet drive at the Catamount 20.

And North Dakota State scores again. 27-0.

[Thumper 76]

South Dakota State, which has seemed to be over-ranked this season, was looking pretty poor as it trailed 3-0 to Western Illinois with under 10 minutes left in the second quarter, but the Bunnies stopped a Leatherneck drive and are now running the ball into the red zone.

What has happened outside of the NDSU game to make SDSU over ranked?

[Mr. C]

Even a fake punt doesn't goes Missouri State's way. NDSU stops the Bears inside their own 20 and are poised to score again.

[Mr. C]

One final scramble from VMI's QB comes up about five yards short and Western Carolina hangs on for a 24-20 win. The Catamounts finish the year at 7-4.

[Mr. C]

Even pass interference on the Bears can't prevent a Bison TD pass. Soon to be 34-0 with half of the second quarter still remaining.

- - - Updated - - -

The South Dakota State-Western Illinois game has been like watching paint dry. Still 3-3 late in the second quarter.

[Mr. C]

Towson tacks on a field goal to expand its lead over Rhode Island 38-21 with about three minutes left.

[Mr. C]

In a 21-14 game the Wildcats lead, Bethune-Cookman's punter drops a snap, fails to run for a first down and give FAMU excellent field position. Haven't been impressed with B-CU seeing them in person, or on TV.

Florida A&M fumbles the ball back to the Wildcats at the goal line. Still B-CU ahead 21-14 in the third.

Bethune-Cookman finally has some breathing room with a 28-14 lead over Florida A&M at the start of the fourth period.

[Mr. C]

The Wildcats score again on a wide-open TD pass in the end zone. B-CU 35-14 with 12:41 left. Looks like it will be a three-way tie in the crazy MEAC.

[caribbeanhen]

William & Mary, to me, is a dark horse FCS title threat. Saw them a couple of weeks back at Elon. This could be the year that Jimmye Laycock finally gets to a championship game.

[Mr. C]

Some interesting rivalry games that have no bearing on the playoffs today.

Wofford leads Furman in one of the oldest rivalries played in the south, 17-14, at halftime. Have to wonder if a four-win season would be the end of Bruce Fowler as Furman's head coach. Think they would like Bobby Lamb back?

And Northwestern State leads Stephen F. Austin 17-7 in the battle for Chief Caddo, the coolest trophy in sports. Wasn't that long ago that J.C. Harper had the Lumberjacks scoring points and making lots of playoff appearances.
