They started what they hope is a new streak Friday night with a 52-14 victory over Mount Union. "Talking for the seniors, it was the best thing that happened to our program," defensive end Loussaint Minett said of being excluded from the postseason in 2012. It gave the Warhawks inspiration to make sure it didn't happen again. Behrendt made sure of it, throwing four touchdown passes while the Warhawks' defense stymied Gagliardi Trophy-winner Kevin Burke and the Purple Raiders, putting the game away with four second-half turnovers....

Taking over a team that won 59 games sounds like a good gig, but it might not be such an easy sell, because the Raptors don’t have many options when it comes to changing the roster, and Casey likely maxed out this team’s talent level.

With good reason. While Obama has been quick to confess that he’d gladly offer cabinet-level positions to Democratic heavyweights Al Gore and even Bill Clinton (“there are few more talented people”), he’s never pledged to create such a gig just for them. As of today, Clinton effectively has. Her target, however, is neither the Goracle nor her husband. It’s John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator and vice-presidential candidate who put up a spirited fight for the Democratic nomination before dropping out in the wake of a Jan....

The squad’s two Humvees stop at a sheltered spot by the river, near the observation post. Everyone scans the far shore, some 400 yards distant, using night-vision goggles. “There they are,” says one of the men. “I count seven.” The enemy shoots first.
