SCAC players of the week:

Football - Offensive
CHARLIE KEY OF ROSE-HULMAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, a 5-10, 205-pound senior tailback from Harrison, Ohio, has been selected the SCAC Football Offensive Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday, September 3. Key tied a Rose-Hulman school record with five rushing touchdowns in the team's 48-41 victory at Earlham. The senior running back amassed 38 carries and 207 yards, the fifth-best single-game total in school history, while becoming the eighth player in school history to surpass 2,000 career rushing yards.

Football - Defensive
SHAUN IRCHIRL OF TRINITY UNIVERSITY, a 5-8, 180-pound sophomore defensive back from Humble, Texas, has been selected the SCAC Football Defensive Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday, September 3. Irchirl picked up an interception on back-to-back fourth quarter possessions in the game, helping the Tiger defense to hold Austin College to just three points and 219 total offensive yards. Irchirl knocked down another pass, and also had three total tackles in the Tigers' season-opening win.

I'm predicting a real battle at EM Stevens Sat nite!  TLU is always tough, getting better every year, and TU is just getting it's 'sea-legs' with the Jake and Blake show.  Strap 'em on gentlemen... let's get it on!

What - Rhodes, DePauw, and Millsaps have a week off and everyone quits posting?

Trinity v. Texas Lutheran
Mt. St. Josephs v. Rose-Hulman
Centre v. Kenyon
Huntingdon v. Sewanee

Texas game looks like a good one.  MSJ v Rose could be interesting.  Centre should romp.  Is there any hope for Sewanee?

  Is there any hope for Sewanee?

I hope not  Since I'm making the 4 hour drive in the morning. My first DIII road game!

I'll bite.......

Trinity v. Texas Lutheran   (TLU squeaks by with late touchdown to win 21-14)
Mt. St. Josephs v. Rose-Hulman  (Mt. St. Joseph too tough in this one 21-7)
Centre v. Kenyon  (Centre by plenty 42-14)
Huntingdon v. Sewanee  (Close one but Sewanee prevails 17-14)

[oldrosie]

Mt. St. Josephs v. Rose-Hulman  (Mt. St. Joseph too tough in this one 21-7)

Interesting quote from TLU coach Tom Mueller in today's Seguin Gazette-Enterprise:

Mueller said he believes the Bulldogs are at a disadvantage playing on the road and dealing with the fact that Trinity has played a game and they haven't. He also said there are other factors TLU must deal with.

"For some reason, Trinity usually gets favorable calls at their place," Mueller said. "That's just the way it is; there's nothing we can do about it. All we can worry about is the things we control.

in 2004 at home, TLU averaged 6.5 penalties/54 yards vs. opponents 10.3/97.  In the Trinity game, it was TLU 3-25 v. Trinity 9-108. Apparently SA's not the only place where the home team gets the calls

Sewanee's 2nd string QB is out with an injury ... after Wesley Satterfield broke  his hand (I think) a couple of weeks ago.  23-6 Huntingdon in the 4th quarter.    Not good news for an already shorthanded team.  Chris Murphy (5'6", 145, FY) in at QB for Sewanee.

Getting some rain in south San Antonio ... lots on radar.  May be a sloppy field at EM Stevens tonight.

Sewanee's 2nd string QB is out with an injury ... after Wesley Satterfield broke  his hand (I think) a couple of weeks ago.  23-6 Huntingdon in the 4th quarter.    Not good news for an already shorthanded team.  Chris Murphy (5'6", 145, FY) in at QB for Sewanee.

I think the second string guy ended up with a broken collar bone. Murphy(who is listed as a WR) took a pretty good beating. He will definitely be sore for a couple of days. They will sure have trouble accomplishing much until they get a QB healthy.
That score is a whole lot closer than it should have been. HC lost two fumbles in the red zone and turned it over on downs inside the 5 once. Overall the offense kind of sputtered most of the day. Hopefully just first game jitters and can be worked out soon. The defense seems to be much improved.
For most of the game HC I think had as many fans as Sewanee except for the last part of the second quarter when a large number of students started showing up but most had left by the time the second half started. Some guys were wearing these black capes and a bunch of others were wearing kilts. Not sure what to think of those kids. They do have a beautiful campus there at Sewanee and we really enjoyed the trip.
