CMU 27, Denison 14 at the half
Case 24, Wooster 14 at the half
OWU 23, DPU 12 at the half
Kenyon 20, Oberlin 0 midway through the third
Chicago 7, Allegheny 0 sometime in the third

Gotta game now, Wabash 20, Witt 17 after the blocked punt and a short TD run.

Big plays, a bad penalty and another special teams breakdown allow Witt to close the Wabash lead to 20-17.

[smedindy]

Wabash driving now, inside the Witt 40. End of three finds the LGs still up 20-17. Porter converts on a TD run and it's now 27-17.

Dension has trimmed the CMU lead to 27-21 with 8 minutes to go in the third.
Case now leads 31-14 with 11:27 in the third.
OWU 23-19 over DPU early in the third.
Oberlin has cut the lead to 20-13. Kenyon still up late in the third.
Chicago still up on Gheny 7-0. I think Jack McBrayer is doing the PBP for the Maroons.

[gobash83]

Wabash answers with a 8 play, 86 yard drive to push the lead to 27-17 with 13;54 left in the game. Good drive by the O to get points and give the Hard Hats a breather.

And the D responds with a 3 and out, including two sacks.  Wabash has the ball back with 11:53 left.

[smedindy]

Bad luck. Vann Hunt fumbles flys right into Witt's hands and the Old Tigers have life again.

[WABCOL86]

Vann seems to have a habit of doing the fumble routine.  Wish we could pick a running back and stay with them.

Wish this committee stuff would be shelved at game-winning time... how many times does this have to happen? 

[smedindy]

To hell with Punt To Win! Raeburn goes for it on 4th down and the team responds!

[BashDad]

Sabermetrics!!!!!!

[smedindy]

Chicago now ahead of Gheny 10-0 in the 4th.
CMU ahead of Denison 34-21 after three.
Case leads Wooster 31-21 early in the 4th.
OWU leads DPU 23-19 late in the third.
Kenyon leads Oberlin 27-13 midway through the 4th.

Wabash methodically marching down the field up 27-24 late in the 4th.

[smedindy]

It's over in Chicago. The Maroons beat the Gators 10-0 (I'm guessing)
Kenyon now up 30-13. The Lords look to be cruising to an 2-0 record in the NCAC.

[smedindy]

Wabash responds with a long clock-killing drive that resulted in no points, but who cares. Little Giants beat the Old Tigers 27-24!

Witt announcers were incredulous that the 'likes of Ohio Wesleyan and Allegheny are now in the lead of the NCAC" Wait 'til they find out that Kenyon is also 2-0!

[The_Bishop]

Big pick by DPU in OWU territory with 12:37 left in the game.

OWU - 23
DPU - 19

[gobash83]

Wabash wins 27-24 by killing the remaining 9:32 of the game on a textbook 17 play drive.  Only one pass in the series.  In some ways, may be most impressive performance of the day.

[cave2bens]

OWU, 'Gheny, and the Lords at the top of the standings at mid-season?  Who da thunk it?
