Berry's defense made enough stops to win it.  Stopping the 2 point conversion early in the 4th ended up being the play to seal the victory.  I thought we'd see more scoring but both defenses played tough to end it.

Don't forget about the red zone interception on third and one from the BC08 with 7 minutes left to play!  Killer.  Congrats to the Vikings and the Berry College faithful!

Opnions on at-large bids for either WashU or Berry, if they win either scenario but the other team loss doesn't happen for them?

I can't see an at large bid for the runner-up of this conference based on last week's regional rankings.

Those 2 games will obviously knock two of the 4 out of the race.  Berry/Centre or WashU/Hendrix
So those are the must win games for these programs.  But those games become unimportant if they don't win out.

For now assuming all the other games are wins for these 4:
If Berry beats Centre, they need Hendrix to beat WashU.
If Centre beats Berry, they need WashU to beat Hendrix
and the opposite
If Hendrix beats WashU, they need Centre to beat Berry
If WashU beats Hendrix, they need Berry to beat Centre

Who would a thought that Rhodes beats Hendrix?  Looks like it might come down to Berry v Centre. Centre still a little under the radar.....

Complete speculation... but how do you know the circumstances upon his departure?

Fellow alum in college administration.

I don't think that quote is particularly indicative of anything one way or the other. Seems pretty typical for a school whose coach left for an equivalent job.

Sounds like a school that had no plans on renewing his contract. Left without addressing his players unless you consider a tweet an acceptable substitute.

Thank u to the Rhodes players and their families for 5 incredible years. Our paths may diverge but I will carry the memories with me always.

No other Rhodes coach over the past several decades can match those achievements, so I'll stand by my statement that he did a nice job there.

As an alum, I am glad he is gone. He is a really smart guy, but I don't think he will build a sustainable winning culture unless he changes the way he treats people around him. I don't think the were begging him to stay.

Quote"We would like to thank Dan for his contributions to the program the past five years," said Rhodes athletic director Mike Clary.  "We wish him the best in his future endeavors."

Dan Gritti did a nice job at Rhodes, but he's going to find out that the CCIW ain't the SAA.

Gritti left Rhodes just like he found it. 

The Maroons are really good.  We got a butt whooping today.

It should be a great game.  Long range forecast is sunny and in the high 70's.

Agree!  Looking forward to this game since the schedule came out.  Centre is coming in a little banged up though.  Do they have tailgating areas on campus?

Contrast that with Berry's 24-0 shutout of Rhodes.  Six sacks and 12 tackles for loss for Berry's defense today.   Berry comes to the Mountain next Saturday looking for their first ever win on the road.

Looking at the box scores and it looks like the Rhodes starting QB has been out the last two weeks.  Anybody know his status?  Great player.

Interesting. Yeah, caught some breaks last year but you are right that for most teams a few breaks are necessary. I thought my Generals were going to win that early game last year, but it ended up part of their season long spiral. Sad that series is not being played again.

Hopefully they get the series going again.  It would be nice to see Centre upgrade their non-conference schedule. How that game finished last year really launched their season.

A Centre fan is sited! Welcome to the board. We could use some Centre folks around here. Any thoughts on this year's team versus last year's?

Heath Haden is back at QB as a fifth year senior (medical hardship) which helps a lot on offense, but they are replacing two all-conference offensive lineman on the right side (both three or four year starters) and an all-conference receiver (led the league in receiving yards last year as a sophomore).

On defense, they are replacing some key starters over the last two years in the defensive line and linebacker group.  They will be anchored by two all-conference safeties.  The defense has played well the first two games.

You have to get a little lucky to go 10-0.  All the breaks went their way last year.  They probably will be favored in all the games they play (d3football has them predicted at 10-0), but I can see the winner of this conference with one loss this year.

We may get an idea how things might shake out this year with some really good match-ups.  How much has Berry improved and how does Chicago match-up with Millsaps?

Centre beats Defiance 25-8.   Not a lot posted on that game.... Any Centre folks lurking around the list with an update?   

Centre grinded out the win late.  It was 10-8 late in the 3rd quarter.  Offense never really got on track.  Defense and special teams won the game.
