Most "Dwenger" post I've seen all year. Let the season begin!

Pretty sure that benefit only applies to the larger schools. Luers & Concordia certainly don't need non-conference games to "better" prepare them for the 3A tourney. If this happens, I'd love to see a home/home between Concordia and Indy Lutheran. It's time.

I hadn't heard that. If he stays for another semester, it would be great for the offense. As a your-year student, I'd be surprised if he made the choice to stay for another football season. The transfer players faced the loss of credits, so another semester for Ike made the medical waiver a no-brainer. I assume Oliver has the choice to graduate this spring. That could be an expensive year of football.

Little Giants have to be considered a front-runner for the NCAC. Despite losing some key players to graduation, they've got a solid core returning in all three phases. Nearly the entire DL/DB corps from a year ago will return. This defense could be scary-good next season. Linebackers graduate some key players, but a solid core will return lead by Brandon Yeagy (Sr) and Jackson Garrett (Jr). Running game will feature two stud backs, with depth. Isaac Avant (Sr), Ike James (Jr - medical waiver for missed 2018 season) each have the potential to gain 1,000 yards, if they stay healthy. If there are any carries left over, Micah Walker (Jr) and Mason Durrett (So) made the best of 4th quarter opportunities last fall. O-Line will return half of the starters, and can draw from Jr/Sr depth to fill the gaps. After a great first game, passing efficiency struggled in key games last year. QB Jake Reid (Sr) and the new receiver corps will need to use spring ball to get on the same page. RaShawn Jones (Sr) will be back, but won't be available for spring ball due to track. Reid-to-Jones could be the best deep threat in the conference, but timing will have to be better. The rest of the conference could shake out the same as last season, with some key changes. Denison graduates a lot of 4-year starters from last year's playoff team, and could be replaced by Wooster as the team to compete with Wabash/Witt. Depauw needs to decide that Chase Andries is their starting QB, and hope they can stop anyone on defense. Allegheny had been an improving program, but will have to bring in a new head coach without losing stride in order compete with the top half of the conference. Looking forward to next season! Hoping to see Wabash back in the playoffs. I'd like to see this team make it to a 2nd/3rd round match-up in Alliance. I think they'd give the Purple Raiders a better game than Denison did a couple months ago.
