“TENACIOUS D” KEPT KNIGHTS IN THE BLACK
A winning record during regular season (5-4) was the result of a strong willed defensive unit under the guidance of veteran coach George Gamber, according to a review of statistical data. The defense gave up just 13 points per game against SIC opponents (this excludes impressive Minico and Centennial teams), and kept the Knights in every ballgame.  The defensive masterpiece against Nampa in the first round of the 4A State Playoffs, a 3-0 loss, included a phenomenal 4th quarter goal line stand.

SATURDAY KNIGHT UPDATES
Boise State continues to roll, with BK boys in leading roles. The Broncos are ranked #15 nationally with Idaho and Hawaii remaining on the schedule. Senior guard Tad Miller and junior LB Tim Brady have started the entire season and gained acclaim for their performances. Tim recently earned Academic All-District honors from ESPN the Magazine. FB Andy Silsby contributes consistently in his role on offense and special teams.

Tommy Bleymaier had 4 catches for 28 yards in the Cornell’s win over Columbia. The Big Red is 5-4 and closes out the 2007 season against Penn on Saturday.

Carroll finished the season 11-0 and enters the NAIA playoffs on Saturday. They struggled in their win against Montana Tech, but again punter Zach Thiry played a big role:  “Every time we’d get a big play we’d get a penalty and that hurt us more than anything,” Head Coach Van Diest said. “Zach Thiry’s punting kept us in the game.”  The junior punter would have a big game, punting nine times for 438 yards. He averaged 48.7 per punt.

St. Johns Johnnies and Ryan Kettner suffered a rare loss but start the NCAA DIII playoffs on Saturday against Redlands (Calif) in Minnesota.

Cody Hawkins finished 23 of 40 for 262 yards and two TDs and had three passes dropped in Colorado’s strange loss at Iowa State. He also scored a touchdown. The Buffs are 5-6 and need to beat Nebraska on Friday, Nov. 23,  to be bowl eligible. Cody has thrown for nearly 2500 yards with 17 TDs this season.

Eastern Oregon had a tough season, ending 1-10 with a 17-14 loss. Freshman O-lineman Javier Galindo did not have the opportunity to introduce the Immaculate Deception to the Frontier Conference….wait til next year.
