A bench clearing after the last Villegas INT for McM. One SRSU lineman throws a punch after Villegas is tackled and then the benches empty.

Referees allow McM to runout the clock. The McMurry announcers assume that the SRSU coaches pull their team off the field, so no post-game handshakes.

We will find out the Commissioner's decision next week on any suspensions.

Nicely done Crusaders.
Thanks for the work Ralph. You almost got me interested in that Mc game.

DensLA, thanks for the kind words. Both teams have improved and have very good athletes. SRSU's Givens was qualfied for the NCAA's in the 100 meters (10.64 secs) and 21' 8.25" in the Long Jump. last year.

I got the impression that it was great efforts by both squads.

Ty Sellers is an incredible athlete. He needs some more experience and depth in the O-line. The ASC seems to have tightened. The new programs have placed the emphasis on getting successful and it appears to have happened. There is incredible talent in Texas high school football by players who are too light or too short or one step too slow for D1, but whose fundamental skills are excellent. All of these teams are very young with lots of freshman players, so having a good JV is critical. By one season of D3 ball, they either realize that it is time to get their education and they move on or they have settled in for the long haul.

ASC D3 football is less than a decade old as opposed to the OAC, MIAC, IIAC or the NWC/Columbia Football Assn. (HSU restarted football in 1990, MC moved up to D3 in 1996, TLU resumed in about 1997, UMHB new in 1998, ETBU and LC resumed after decades absences since then.) Good programs will develop over the next decade as D3 football becomes extremely viable. I wish that Schreiner would resume football and Concordia Austin would add. I don't think that UOzarks has ever had football, but there are no options for D3 or non-scholarship in Arkansas.

The highest compliment that could be paid to ASC football would be for our 2 loss "tri-champ" to win the Stagg Bowl.

Sounds like all who predicted an HSU blowout had there scores backwards...the second string QB probably hadn't seen a D like UMHB's before
