kick is good

28-7 Augie

[Mr. Ypsi]

Wow!  I picked Augie, but figured it would be another nail-biter!

Based on past history, I may yet be!  (I hope so - on OAC pickems they were giving Wheaton 10.5 points, so I picked Wheaton there!)

[augievike93]

Augie stopped Wheaton, now they have the ball at their own 28.

[augievike93]

I love how the WETN announcers are talking about how it is tough for Augie to pick up the 1st down on a 3rd and 5.  They talked about the limited offence because 3rd and 5 is "normally" a passing down.  Heck,  3rd and 15 is a running down for Augie and if they don't make it, they get it darn close.

35-0, NCC, 11 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter. Sounds like Augie was ready to play.

[augievike93]

Augie just threw for the first time today to start the 4th quarter...looks like they have that fewest pass attempts for the season record all but wrapped up.

[augievike93]

Patterson punts the ball into the Wheaton 7. 

1st and 10 Thunder

[augievike93]

Youngbauer intercepts...the Viking D's third pick of the day.  Augie starts deep in Wheaton's territory.

[Mr. Ypsi]

The scoreboard has Carthage 24, Elmhurst 14 half way through the third - anyone have anything later?

The scoreboard has no report at all on Millikin-IWU - anyone?

No real surprise on NCC-NP, but I'm rather surprised at the margin of Augie-Wheaton (and would NOT be surprised if it tightened - seems like it always does!)

Or NOT - just saw augievike93's post on the interception!

[augievike93]

Evidently Chupp left the game earlier with a separated shoulder.

[augievike93]

Augie wins 28-7.

Congrats to J. R. Bishop on a great career.

Congrats also to Coach Barnes and this team of Vikings who have gotten a win against the team that has had their number since Barnes came to town.  It takes an awful lot to finish with an undefeated CCIW season (and they were only 1 point away from a perfect regular season).  It is good to see that Vikes are back on top.  I love playoff football in Rock Island!

Congrats Vikings!!!
