Kenny Reeves intercepts for Millsaps and turns the pick into six for the Majors.

Millsaps leads 49-2 with less than 2:00 left.

Very Nice win for the Majors. Dominating and efficient.

Stats are up on the SCAC site: http://www.scac-online.org/

After mentioning how CC was greatly ahead of Trinity today in time of possession, I notice that Rhodes dominated the TOP against Millsaps 36:06 to 23:54 (Millsaps did greatly dominate the total yardage, winning that by a total of 382 yards to 135).

In news from another conference, I find it interesting that Mississippi College travelled to #24 Hardin-Simmons and lost in a very competitive 35-27 game. It's extremely hard to compare that game with the game against Millsaps since Mississippi College has now reverted to more of a running team (296 yards rushing compared to 159 yards passing today), but it is interesting since HSU was ranked as the 2nd best team in the ASC in the preseason.

Odd numbers from the Trinity-CC game which was easily won by Trinity 35-10.

CC won the time of possession 36:28 to 23:32.

CC ran 74 plays compared to 51 for Trinity. Of those plays, CC ran 64 times for 237 yards and only completed 3 of 10 passes for 24 yards. Trinity was far more balanced with 24 runs for 132 yards and completing 17 of 27 passes for 186 yards.

One of the factors in the TOP was the CC quarterback was letting the play clock run down to a few seconds before they'd snap the ball. I assume they figured their best chance of a win was to keep the TU offense sitting on the sidelines. TU had 2nd stringers in for pretty much the entire 4th Q. CC has a beautiful campus and field. Nice place.

Looks like the DPU Tigers will have their hands full next Saurday in Jackson. How do they handle trips like these logistically - Thursday vs. Friday travel, bus vs. plane, etc.?

Trinity appeared quite 'out-of-sync' after their long layoff and the trip to Colorado College, but managed a 35-10 victory. CoCo's running game showed some signs of life. I predict that they will win a SCAC game or two this year. (barring injuries to key players)

It will be a tough test indeed, especially playing in Jackson. DePauw busses to Millsaps; flies to Trinity, Colorado College and Austin.

Regarding travel, i believe the team will leave early Friday morning in order to get a workout in at Milsaps that evening. Travel, I think, is one of the things that makes the SCAC a challenging conference.

No doubt the Tigers will face their toughest test of the young season. In particular, the young secondary will see by far the best QB they have faced...on the positive side Senior Safety Marc Hoeppner continues his solid play and Freshman CB Steve Valdiserri is is making plays; in addition to his break-up of Sewanee's last gasp pass, he had an interception Saturday.

The hope is DPU gets healthy this week, too. WR's Mulligan and Koors and TE Branigan were all out Saturday...

Looking forward to the trip to Jackson!

Official attendance at TU-CC was 417. I could have sworn there were more there than that. I think there might have actually been more TU fans there. Well, maybe not, but darn near

417. This is the one part of D-3 that takes some getting used to when there's often 8-15K at our local high school games in this part of TX.

There are some high school band programs in north Texas that march more than 417. $:-\$
