<p>Dey was likely the highest touted FR RB we had. Staff preferred Rumoro. Caron leaves with a .500 record. Twitter film was a very fun watch. Kid was bought in. Sad to see him go. .500 Valpo QB</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>They have multiple freshman in key spots. If we lose this game you have to begin wondering if it’s the staff. I am glad Waddle acknowledged the turnover problem in the weekly update, how does one fix the turnover problem?</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valpo is 2-1 against the torreros in their last 3 games. The Torerros have a brand new coach. Who is in his second year of coaching overall. They are 5-4 with wins over Princeton, Saint Thomas, Davidson, Dayton.</p>
<p>Valparaiso needs to compete on Saturday. A Coach 100+ games in should have a competitive advantage over someone in their second season coaching in Brandon Moore. (Moore was in the National championship in Division 2 last season in year 1 of that tenure)</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, there is hope for Valpo football accolades. USC and former Valpo punter Sam Johnson came through big in the Trojans road game in a blackout against Nebraska. With 3:30 left in the game and SC up 4, Johnson on 4th down punted beautifully to pin the Huskers at the 3 yard line. This punt was critical to prevent Nebraska from a score. Great job Sam, go Crusaders and Fight on! </p>]]></content:encoded>
