FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Thanks for pointing out the live stats.  I guess I'll use the live stats and go back to listening to the DePauw game.

[DPU3619]

21-7 now BSC.  DePauw drives and punts, BSC comes back with a 70 yard drive.  (Insert nervous face here)

[jekelish]

Ross Hasten busts off a 50 yard run on the first possession...ends in a 27 yard field goal by Hersh to put AC up 3-0...

[Chronological Order]

Millsaps 10, Centre 7 at the start of the 2nd Q.
Millsaps 67 yds offense
Centre 103 yds offense

[DPU3619]

BSC drives all the way down to the 9, can't move it from there, and has a FG blocked at the half.  Still 21-7 at the break.

[jekelish]

AC muffs a punt, leading to a short (38 yard) drive by Sewanee that results in a TD...7-3 Tigers, 9:15 left in the first...

For those of you who haven't seen today's "Daily Dose" entry:

Surprisingly close game
Keith's take: Birmingham-Southern at DePauw. Staring at a date with No. 19 Trinity (Texas) next week, will the Tigers be able to put aside last week's 55-13 thrashing at Millsaps and be sharp against the Panthers? DePauw didn't look like a conference champion or playoff team last week, but it's not far fetched to envision a three-way tie atop the conference if everything breaks right. I could see a sluggish start and a game closer than the Tigers would like.

Wow ... that should get the DPU juices flowing ... let the games begin!

Looks like Keith is a pretty smart guy.  Now who was that idiot who predicted DePauw winning by 21-28 points?

It also shines a new light on last weeks scores.  The script last week was that Millsaps beat a much better DePauw team by a lot more than Trinity beat BSC.  Now you look at this score and consider that Millsaps was at home and Trinity was on the road--hmm, it makes you think.

Millsaps still has a 10-7 lead on Centre--Centre leads in total offense 123 to 96 yards.  Is this Millsaps looking at their ranking or Centre playing well?  I suspect that the very quick defense of Centre is causing problems.  Last year it was Trinity getting surprised at Rhodes and I hope that Centre doesn't pull this year's big upset today.

[jekelish]

Fumble by AC gives the ball back to Sewanee in their own territory, and the Tigers march down thanks to a 42 yard completion and then on 3rd and 13, AC commits pass interference in the endzone to give it to the Tigers on the 2...Sewanee scores next play.

14-3 Sewanee, 44 seconds left in the quarter.

[jekelish]

34 yard run by AC's Matt Burton to make it 14-10 two minutes into the second quarter.

[Chronological Order]

Marcus Harris interception sets up a Juan Joseph to Andrew Langston 23 yd TD pass.

Millsaps 20, Centre 7  0:42 left in 2nd Q

[jekelish]

Sewanee adds a 30 yard field goal to go up 17-10...4:35 left in the first half.

[frank_ezelle]

DePauw gets TD on fake FG from the 2.  Follows that up with 2-pt conversion and we have a 21-21 tie with most of the 4th quarter to go.

[jekelish]

AC fumbles for the third time in the game, giving it to the Tigers at the Roo 27.

Sewanee has it 2nd and goal from the 2 yard line, 24 seconds left in the half.  Sewanee also gets the ball to start the second half.

[DPU3619]

Dick goes to Koors from 38 yards out.  DPU back on top for the first time since 5 minutes in... 28-21.  Nearly 11 minutes to go.

[frank_ezelle]

Millsaps opens 2nd half with 5-play, 60 yard TD drive in less than 2 minutes.  Millsaps up 26-7 as kick fails.

Trinity up on Rhodes 16-0 with 4:00 to go in 2nd quarter.  Baer has about 20 carries for 100 yards already.

DePauw up 28-21 on BSC.  Spud Dick is 30 of 36 for 340 yards with 2 TDs and 1 int.  Looks like about 7-8 minutes to go in this game.
