At least on paper The Cru shouldn't have a problem with the Rowan University Profs. Both teams have a couple of common opponents this year...

Rowan 24 - Wesley 17
Rowan 7 - Kean 6

UMHB 35 - Wesley 7
UMHB 34 - Kean 7

The weather should be perfect, high of 64 and cloudy for Saturday.

I think The Cru will beat The Profs 42 - 10, what do you think?

Not real sure. Obviously The Cru is a better team, playing at home, but Rowan is ranked so beware.
But think the Cru by 24 (at least).

Yes, but Wesley was ranked #5 when we played them earlier this season. I see that Rowan has 21 points to UMHB's 588 points this past week on the polls. Although when the playoffs come around the teams for the most part have earned their way there and can hold their own. If it's not raining we'll have more points. BTW, Does anyone know what happened to WR #4 Marcus Wimby on Saturday? I don't remember hearing that he was injured. He does a great job with the Wild Cat when we run it.

And where is Wesley ranked now?
They aren't. Obviously weren't nearly as good as advertised.

Wesley is now ranked #15 and Rowan is ranked #29. Just as a point of reference…Redlands is ranked #26.

If it cold, but dry I'm still going with a 42 point win. The one edge that I'll give to Rowan is that since they're from New Jersey they are used to playing in the wet and cold, as well as snow. But, that won't be enough…they will have to have a perfect, error free game to have a chance to beat The Cru. Being 2,000 miles away from home prevents having very many fans in the stands cheering for them.

And just the trip here from NJ should bother them. Probably still stuffed with turkey and pumpkin pie, they'll fly here on Friday.

Anyone interested in getting a bunch of turkeys together for the Rowan players, so they can enjoy the effect of the tryptophan (the chemical in turkey that makes you feel sleepy) before the game?

According to this, Wimby could play Saturday.

The weather will be perfect. I would hope that more people come to the game. Attendance is always down after Thanksgiving since many of the students go home for the holiday. T

his is a perfect time for the locals to come out and cheer on the #2 team in the country and take a break from the leftovers and enjoy a Cru dog...lol

Yeah I saw that about Wimby in the paper. If he's able to run the wildcat that will really mess with Rowan, see how they are able to defend when we spread everything all the way out to the sides!

End of the first, Crusaders leading, 14-6. Rowan came to play.

Crusaders tightened it up after the Rowan opening drive. Now leading, 35-6 at the half.

It's 21-21 at the half, Mr. Walker.
2nd half started and both had to punt on their first possessions.

The Cru did a great job today! Although Rowan jumped to a quick start and drew first blood, The Cru tend to pick up steam as the game go on. I knew that UMHB would beat Rowan, but I wasn't expecting them to beat them so bad and take such control over most of the aspects of the game. It looks like Saint John Fisher will come down next week for the Quarter Finals. I think The Cru are peaking right on course. Go Cru!

Special teams was incredible once again and the defense was pretty stingy as usual. What can you say about Anderson. One hell of a good QB.

The way Rowan marched down the field on the opening drive had me worried. It's almost as if the missed extra point energized the Cru and deflated Rowan.
