What did we learn this week? I'm glad you asked...
1) St. Scholastica is going to win the UMAC. Sorry to spoil it for everyone but that is just what is going to happen. Regardless of what team you cheer for or what your personal bias is, you cannot deny the fact that this team simply has resources that no other team in the conference possesses. They have better facilities, more players, and a great geographic area to recruit from without competition from other MIAC schools.
2) The best teams are always balanced. Martin Luther can't pass and they can't score. Greenville can't consistently pass, at least they couldn't against St. Scholastica, and they couldn't score. Eureka can't run and they struggled offensively against both Scholastica and Crown. Scholastica can do both and they have scored 35 and 45. Northwestern can do both and they have scored 49 and 35. Easier said than done, but good teams are multi-dimensional.
3)You should cover Brian Lecheler. 3 straight games with a reception over 50 yards? You would think opposing schools would start covering this kid. Can he continue the streak going against MacMurray? Don't be surprised if he does.
4) The flexbone offense or whatever you want to call it that Martin Luther runs is outdated and ineffective. It has led to a greater amount of fumbles than points so far this season. There is a reason that you don't see any of the best teams around the country running this offense. It is a gimmicky offense that is predictable and one-dimensional.
5) Two-quarterback systems don't work. Morris may be 2-0 in conference so far, but watching them swap out QBs every other series is painful. Neither one can get in a rhythm and neither can the offense. I do not understand what the coaching staff is doing here and if they do not figure out who their guy is soon the hot start will quickly fizzle. Mark my words...
