FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[DPU54]

DPU over Sewanee 34-0 End score.

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity keeps it on the ground, big first downs by Jones (2) and then Barmore carries it for 13 to get a first down with 30 seconds left.    Trinity survives 15-10.  Game ball to the defense which played much better in the second half, and Barmore for very good play in relief.  Stats to follow.

Hawks are scary this year, will be even moreso next year.  Good game, Huntingdon, and good luck the rest of the seasson!

Well, TU got the win, but more importantly, the Mr. Nuerberger, the play-by-play guy, really loosened up as the game went on, and I if no one else found him tolerable in the 2nd half.  

Hats off to HC.  Good group on both sides of the ball.  It's just really tough to beat Trinity.  

[evacuee]

Sorry, Nuerenberg.  Can someone tell us what happened to Cannon?  Looks like Blake can do the job too. 

[Hawks88]

Well, we had some chances but just couldn't get any offense going in the second half. Sounded like there were a couple of dumb penalties to keep Trinity drives going then the bad punt late in the game to give TU great field position killed us. We did show we can play with some of the big boys now. Maybe we can make some noise next year.

Interesting to hear he thinks Huntingdon is only in its second year of football. What did I miss?

Yeah, not sure where that "two year" comment came from.  THey have two seniors on the roster, too.  HC has done an impressive enough job, don't need to try and make it even more impressive.   

In case you were asking "what did I miss in the 2nd half:"

Trinity defense decided to play in the 2nd half; offense  (with second string QB Barmore starting the 2nd half) made enough plays to win despite problems getting it in the end zone.  Trinity seemed to call a VERY conservative game to neutralize HC's secondary.

HC had 240 yds in first half, 63 in second.  Give the defensive coordinator a cigar for the adjustments made in the locker room.

Centre 38, Millsaps 10
Sounds like a close one between Rhodes and RHIT.  Rose is leading by less than a TD, Rhodes is driving, less that 1:30 remaining.

Reply to Pat Coleman: alright, so Huntingdon's is actually in its 3rd year, but only the second year with their current coach, Mike Turk.They went 0-7 first year playing most of their games on the road and having a hard time scheduling anybody to play them. Not sure if Trinity has scheduled a return visit next year, but if so, Huntingdon's chances will be good for a win with only two seniors on this year's team. Also, since  they are the only D-III team in the entire State, and very few D-III teams, if any, in Florida and Georgia, which are heaving recruited areas for them, they will only get better over time. If there is such a thing as a moral victory, HC got one today.

[Ron Boerger]

1:06 left in regulation, Rhodes scores to tie it at 13-all.  The Lynx converted two fourth downs to keep the drive alive.

Two timeouts left for Rose.

0:53 Hummell pass completion to midfield for RHIT. 
0:46 pass complete to the Rhodes 43, OOB.
0:41 Key carries it for a first down at the 39.
0:32 Robinson catches, OOB, ball at the 31.
0:25 Hummel keeper, first down at the 27, OOB.
0:17 Hummel draw to the 13, flag - PF face mask, Lynx.  Ball at the seven.   Time out Rose-Hulman.
0:07 Key loses a few yards on a sweep to right side.  28 yd FGA ... kick good! 

Rose takes a 16-13 lead with 0:02 remaining!  Lynx can't make the laterals work so Rose-Hulman wins.  Congrats Engineers!

Thanks. I am aware of the Huntingdon program and the state of Division III in the sourtheast. It's what I do.

I just figured the radio guy should have more of a clue. Shouldn't be spreading misinformation. Duane Trogdon's year as head coach still counts.

[tTU719803]

the biggest difference between the first and second halves, from the standpoint of someone in the stands:  TU missed a lot of tackles in the first half, and seemed to have trouble getting into the correct defensive alignment before the snap (I could hear a TU coach yelling about that) which led to all of Huntingdon's points.  They seem to have ironed out all the wrinkles at halftime, because the only big play for the Hawks after that was a 25 yard catch on 3rd down on a perfectly placed pass by Huntingdon's QB.

[etg]

ttu719803 and Bonzo,
Also was at the game; the Tigers did call a VERY conservative game but 42 carries for 189 yards = 4.5 yards per, thats darn good for most any Trinity team. What's missing, the passing yardage (mileage) from the past?

The Hawks did give the Tigers a whale of a game; when does HC play the other Tigers (DPU)---cough?
