Just a reminder that I'll be at the Austin College/Trinity game tomorrow afternoon shooting pictures for this site.  Be sure to check them out under the Photo Galleries link on the main page!

so back to football, what are the most important games in the SCAC this weekend? and some predictions? just a thought since the games are 2 days away...

Trinity big over Austin. I don't even want to try to attempt a score prediction. But as was said earlier, time to cheer for whomever is playing Trinity.

Sewanee at Centre. Centre wins, but not too easily. 24-10.

Depauw at Chicago. Don't know much about Chicago, so go Tigers. gotta support the SCAC.

I know nothing about Lincoln, so I won't even comment. Once again, go SCAC, go Millsaps.

Wash U. at Rhodes. I'll be at this one, and expect that Rhodes will want to take out their frustration from last week on somebody. This game has always been heated and always been close. I played in two overtime games, as well as a great game last year in St. Louis. I expect this one to be another classic. Rhodes 20-17.

GO LYNX!

With two non-conf games, there aren't really any big games on the schedule.

  • DePauw (again) needs to win out for any chance at a Pool C bid.  Chicago seems to be playing better than normal so this game will not be a gimme.  Probably my pick for "most important" GoTW.  Chicago is something like 1-7 against DePauw since they started playing again as D3 teams. 
  • Trinity should handle Austin but the 'Roos are riding a two game winning streak and seem to be putting it together after a rough start.  This is the first time AC and Trinity have seen each other on a week besides the opener in quite some time.
  • Wash U at Rhodes - Bears' two W's are against teams with a combined 1-7 record.  Go with the home team. 
  • Sewanee at Centre - kind of the battle of the underachievers, Centre is due for a good game.
  • Lincoln (Mo) at Millsaps - Majors coming off of two close losses have a good shot against a 1-4 Blue Tiger [!] team that also has a new coach this season.  Lincoln, which defeated 0-5 Kentucky Wesleyan last week, 22-10, hasn't won back-to-back games in three years.     Prior to that win Lincoln had been outscored by a 169-7 margin.  Lincoln had -21 yards rushing and only 9 first down in last week's win.

As an aside, the Lincoln game notes say the Majors "opened their season with the Backyard Brawl against perennial powerhouse Mississippi College."  Maybe in basketball, but that's the first time I've heard anyone call those guys a football powerhouse.

MC was probably in that kind of range as a D-II school. Perhaps that's a D-II take on MC?

Or just an error. :)

Or it is an over-zealous SID's attempt at hyping up a game against a school that no-one on campus knows about?  It makes Millsaps sound better if they take on powerhouses and makes a win for Lincoln that much sweeter!

HunterT

I have to agree with exmajor. It's an attempt to get people in the stands for a non conference game. Either that or it's parents weekend, and so they have to sound better for the 'rents.

What are the freshmen going to brag about unless it's a loss to a team that almost beat a powerhouse that's not really a powerhouse at all?

Ron, Glad to hear you think Rhodes will take this weekend. I do too, and the feeling around the campus is good. It'll be a fun game to attend.
GO LYNX!!

The Millsaps/Lincoln game is in Jackson so the "hype" won't affect attendance at Lincoln on Saturday.  I like Millsaps in this one......42-7.  The Majors finally keep a team from scoring much but still pile on the points and get in the win column.  Lincoln has rushed for a total of 23 yards in five games played and scored only 29 points....22 of which came in Lincoln's lone win (a 22-10 victory over Kentucky Wesleyan last week).  Lincoln has given up 189 points on the year.  Yes Millsaps has given up 128 in three games played so the Majors give up 42 points per game and Lincoln gives up 37 points per game....but Millsaps will lower that stat on Saturday.  Millsaps needs a win in the worst way!

DPU takes the opening kick, drives 63 yards but can't convert a third-and-four at the UChicago 17.  Tyler Mallory hits a 35-yd attempt and DPU is up 3-0 early in the first.

DePauw didn't seem to have much of a problem driving on Chicago, who fumble the resulting kick and turn it back to the Tigers who will start at the Chicago 15.  Marks takes it to the one on the first play, Spud scores on a sneak.  Mallory's PAT is good, DPU up 10-0 now. 

Ron Boerger

Chicago drives, has a first-and-goal from the 8, then lose 21 yards on the next three plays.  They go for it on fourth down but a screen is stopped at the 15, so DePauw takes over there.  Dustin Hertel has a couple of sacks including the one for a ten yard loss on third down.

Winkel now in at QB for DePauw as time is running down in the first quarter.

Ron Boerger

Had to take a break ... beginning of the second half, Maroons turn the ball over on a first-play interception, DPU in business at the Chicago 23.

Marks scores his 31st rushing TD on a six-yard plunge, setting the DePauw standard in that category.  Now 24-0 DePauw early in the third.  I guess on that note I can switch to another game ;-)

Ron Boerger

Austin drives into the Trinity red zone after a fourth down offsides gave them new life - a Baron Kock sack pushes the 'Roos back and they can't convert a 37-yard FGA.  Trinity can't move on their first series. 

Freshman Kent Bell is at QB for AC and doing a good job so far.  AC is finding running room outside.

Ron Boerger

Blake Barmore finds Riley Curry deep for a 74-yard TD, Trinity leads 7-0 with 1:32 left in the first quarter.

Ron Boerger

Millsaps leads 28-0 late in the first half against D2 Lincoln.

Millsaps up 35-0 now with about 4 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter.

My apologies....Millsaps up 35-0 over Lincoln with just under a 1 minute to play in the 2nd quarter.

Ryan Cowley scores on a 1-yd pitch, PAT is good and it's tied at 7 with 4:03 left in the first half.  Austin converted on a fake punt for nearly 40 yards of the 13-play, 80-yard drive.   The other 12 plays were all running plays as the 'Roos continue to have success running the ball. 

Trinity brings in freshman RB Matt Moorfield, who has some success running the ball, as does Barmore, and on third-and-four from the six Barmore finds Jason Plotnick in the endzone.  The PAT hits the upright and is no good; Trinity leads 13-7 with 35 seconds remaining in the first half.
