EWU came to play. Maine is plain flat...EWU used the turnovers and from there they ruled the 1st half...my biggest fear: EWU #3 is flat out a game-changer...he has done what they needed plus.... and he's there spark plug.

Yes. Which I why I asked if they would just stay out there after last week (and I understand the financial implications). The problem is they don't have much control over the seedings, because the conference is not rated highly enough. It's tough to go on the road two weeks in a row in the playoffs and win. They are just overmatched.
It's frustrating. We've seen the same thing for years in basketball with the mid-major conferences. Until the conference is ranked higher, you're relegated to a matchup against the highest seeds. So if you don't win, the conference maintains its low ranking. It's a Catch-22 and the only solution (which is long-term) is the eventual improvement of the conference, and now you're getting into scholarships. academics, admissions, etc. So unfortunately, it's tough for a team from the East to break through and win because the deck is sort of stacked against them.

They can't get to the QB because he has that quick three-step drop and fast release. And they can't protect Ferguson. Other than that, they're doing great.

yeah. I was hoping they could get in 3s head but he has absolutely owned the Maine D. Good luck against NDSU .They can't get to the QB because he has that quick three-step drop and fast release. And they can't protect Ferguson. Other than that, they're doing great.

Its not the conference. Its Maine. If James Madison or Richmond or even UNH had Maines resume they wouldve been seeded 3rd or 4th. Because its Maine, 7.
The caa is the best league in the country.
Re: UMaine '18-'19: Back to the Nationals!
If it's the best league in the country, then why has North Dakota State won 6 of the last 7 championships? And "depth" doesn't matter...you have to WIN playoff games.
