Just to give credit for good academic performance:
Ross Weitoff of Depauw and Michael Swartzentruber of Centre were both semi-finalists for the Draddy trophy - National Football Federation Scholar-Athelete Award.  Neither made the final list, but congratulations to both.

Some thoughts on the Centre-Trinity game:

Trinity was able to wear down the Centre D-line in the second half, and when Phelps got injured at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the game got out of hand.

Had Centre been able to take advantage of its opportunities in the first half (first quarter in particular) and not had a couple fumbles, the game might have been much closer than Trinity would have liked.  I thought that if Centre scored on the opening drive that would have kept Trinity from pounding their bigger O-line on the Centre line.

Centre had opportunities while the game was still undecided, but just didn't make plays.  Some of the parents were a little rough on the officials, but even with some questionable calls (what game doesn't have them ), Centre just didn't make the plays they needed when they had the opportunity.  On the opening drive, a completed pass inside the five was called back for holding, but just prior to that, a open reciever across the middle was missed, it would have been a sure touchdown, so you can't blame the officials, just make plays!

Regardless, we had a wonderful time in San Antonio, my first visit.  Enjoyed the Mission Trail and the Riverwalk, wish we had a little more time.

This week will be interesting how Centre responds, not only is it Homecoming with all of its distractions (and hopefully motivation ), but it was midterm week as well. 

Last week in the first half was the first time all year that both sides of the ball showed up at the same time and it was pretty effective against Millsaps.  Hopefully it will continue today against Maryville.
