Last year when the Knights and Johnnies met on the final Saturday of the regular season, they were playing for a MIAC championship. Saint John's will be doing so again, but it's been a vastly different year for Carleton (3-6, 1-6 MIAC). The Knights will look to snap a five-game losing streak and salvage a disappointing 2009 today, while the Johnnies (9-0, 7-0 MIAC) can clinch the out-right conference crown and complete an undefeated regular season with a win at home. Today's game also marks the final time five seniors will wear the maize and blue for Carleton. Defensive end Adam Hallbeck, running back Phil Blue, defensive end John Schlaefer, quarterback Spenser Williamson, and kicker Kyle Burkhardt will all be finishing their collegiate football careers this afternoon. Follow the game via live stats and catch the live audio broadcast on Knights Online and on Power 96 (KQCL 95.9 FM).
