The game was moved from Saturday to Sunday in honor of the Yom Kippur holiday.

That would make for a brutally short week coming up.  I'm sure the LGs won't have any trouble getting it together for Hiram, but I'd be interested to see where they put their NCAA mandated off day next week.

I don't know if this is still the case, but as of a couple years ago, the Wabash day-off was Friday.

In all of D3, three games moved away from Saturday — two to Friday night and Wabash-Oberlin to Sunday.

Won't be attending the Wabash-Oberlin clash - headed to Lambeau for the Packers-Cardinals matchup.  However, we will be making a pilgrimage to Mud Hollow for the Wabash-Hiram game on the 19th.  Looking forward to sharing some fellowship, Alabama pulled pork, and apple pie moonshine with my Wabash brethren.

Oberlin is probably still a better watch on Sunday than the Browns...

Correction after deeper research during the week:

The date originally listed for the 1960 Heidelberg game was incorrect in the files. After consulting newspaper accounts of Wabash football games dating back to 1914, no games have been found to have been played on Sunday, so this Sunday's game is likely the first to ever take place for a Wabash football team.

Friday night games do not avoid Yom Kippur which begins at sunset on Friday and ends at nightfall on Saturday.

Owls move to 4-2, best start since 2013. Schedule only gets harder from here but still ecstatic about the team's progress this year.

Who is ready for some Sunday D3 football???

Watching the video, Wabash took a knee deep in Oberlin territory to end the half, then the coaches met to discuss exactly what you mentioned above.  Which I wholeheartedly endorse.

Major props to the Oberlin players for their efforts knowing it generally won't end well on the scoreboard.  And to Wabash for sportsmanship in a mismatch.

The score of the Wabash-Oberlin does not tell the entire story.  Oberlin had 13 drives and 40 plays on offense.  They recorded 1 first down and 17 yards of total offense. Wabash forced 5 turnovers and 7 punts.  Thirty-three (33) Oberlin players saw action, whereas 73 Little Giants played today.

Don't forget Wabash kneeling the ball at the 15 yard line to send it to the half rather than scoring to put more points on the scoreboard.

It was very obvious that if Wabash wanted to do so, they could have put up 120+ on Oberlin. But as always, Morel is never going to run the score up much past 40-50 points.
