2003 NEWS
The
Middlebury Panthers have a tradition of
excellence dating back to 1893. Over the
years, the Panthers have become one of the
most respected forces among Division III
teams in New England. The Panthers'
winning percentage during the past 23
years is one of the best in New
England.
By
competing in the New England Small College
Athletic Conferencea group of some of the
most prestigious colleges in the
nationMiddlebury has associated itself
with schools possessing similar
educational philosophies and athletic
goals. Yes, there is a winning tradition
at Middlebury, but more importantly,
football has always been viewed as a
unique educational opportunity in which
the athlete is able to explore the limits
of his own ability. In an era in which so
many colleges have removed football from
the educational sphere, Middlebury still
plays the game as it was intended to be
played. Football provides the student with
an opportunity for fun, excitement, and a
special brand of camaraderie. A large
number of players also play a second
sport, placing Middlebury in a unique
position in this age of forced
specialization. The Middlebury athlete
continues to demonstrate that the pursuit
of excellence on the football field is
totally compatible with the pursuit of
excellence in the classroom, and that
combining the two pursuits can be a
rewarding and exciting
experience.
OFFENSE:
MULTIPLE
The
offense is a wide-open and freewheeling
one, built around multiple formations and
an equal blend of passing and running. The
offense depends on talented athletes at
all skill positions, who work behind a
tough, physically dominant, offensive
line. The passing game utilizes an equal
amount of play action, dropback, and
sprint out passes, while the running game
integrates a combination of direct action,
counters, and option plays. All this leads
to an action-packed, explosive,
crowd-pleasing offense.
DEFENSE:
MULTIPLE SEVEN-MAN FRONT
Known
for their aggressive, pursuit-oriented
defense, the Panthers employ a multiple
seven-man front and a four-deep secondary.
The front evolves from a three-four
scheme, utilizing two inside linemen, two
defensive ends, and three linebackers.
Regardless of the front, the defense uses
a wide range of defensive stunts to keep
the opposing offense off balance.
Intensity and pursuit have become
trademarks of the Panther defensive team,
whose athletes always play with reckless
abandon.
