It might not have helped that I wrote the post last night after enjoying a few brews with the guys at Nick's bar.   

Understood...and appreciated! 

Lots of good commentary on the DPU-Trinity tilt...no question the Indiana Tigers are going in as the underdog for all of the reasons mentioned...but I'm looking forward to a good ballgame...key will be, as mentioned, for DPU to play 60 minutes in all three phases of the game...

Wes---
Sounds like the inury bug is continuing to plague DPU...hopefully some of these guys can get healthy by kickoff tomorrow...

I hope.  I haven't spoken to anyone since very early in the week, but there wasn't a ton of optimism that Ellis, Karazsia, or Collins would be ready to go at RB for the second straight week. 

I thought Mitchell Willsey did a pretty nice job of filling in on Saturday, particularly in the second half.  If it is him again, Matt Walker and Dustin Ward are going to need a Marks-ian effort from him tomorrow.

Would y'all mind posting some scores of games tomorrow when you can, like Ron last week, I will be out of pocket would be interested in seeing how teams are doing.  Hopefully the blackberry will pick up the message boards!

exmajor, PM me your cell phone number and I'll text you the TU Depauw score as it unfolds.

BSC is up 16-6 on Austin College as the first quarter draws to a close.  The AC PAT was blocked, David Kelley returned it 96 yards for a defensive two-point conversion.  Thigpen is 3-3 passing with a 54-yd TD strike to Walter Arrington accounting for most of the 66 yards.

AC strikes back quickly with a 6 play, 81-yard drive to make it 16-13 early in the second quarter.  Andy Braly is 4-5 for 76 yards. 

[Ron Boerger]

After several exchanges, BSC sets up for a 37-yard FGA, attempt is blocked by Matt Finke who scoops up the ball and returns it 60 yards for a TD.  AC leads 20-13 at the half.

[LA Major]

Millsaps wins the toss and chooses to defer to the 2nd half. Defense first.  Here we go.

Finke is just incredible when it gets to blocking kicks.  He's blocked four in the last year and a half, and those who have watched AC play will agree that he gets an incredible jump on the ball and is awfully close to even more blocked kicks than that.  At this level, I've never seen anyone get around the end on a field goal/PAT as quickly as Finke does.

[Ron Boerger]

Colorado College is the recipient of an early gift when Rhodes fumbles inside their 20, but can't move the ball and miss a 29-yard FGA.  0-0 early on in Memphis. 

They just got a Mike Wendorf INT at midfield, so the Rhodes offense continues their season-long struggles.  For their part, CC continues to focus on the running game with 13 consecutive running plays.

[LA Major]

Millsaps7-0, 5.15 LEFT IN THE 1ST.

[Ron Boerger]

AC takes the second half kick and drives 58 yards, with Ross Hasten taking it 28 yards to put the Roos up 27-16.

Early in the second quarter, Matt Gilbert scores from a yard out to put the Lynx up 7-0 on Colorado College.  A total of 14 yards passing (combined) so far in this one. 

[Ron Boerger]

After a personal foul made it first and 25, Joe Thigpen finds Walter Arrington deep and the speedster scores on a 65-yard play to close BSC's gap to 27-22.  The 2-point try fails, 8:36 to play in the third quarter.

DePauw has driven into Trinity territory on their first drive as Spud Dick is 3-4 passing early .. then misses three straight and DPU has to punt it away.

[LA Major]

Millsaps 10-0  11+mins left in the2nd.

[Ron Boerger]

Charles Hoggart scores from eight yards out, PAT is good, as the Lynx take a 14-0 lead over CoCo, 8:17 to play in the half.  Still no passing yards for CC (and only one attempt) and only 14 yards for Rhodes.

Braly finds Ross Hasten for a 33-yard scoring pass, the 'Roos take a 34-22 lead, still in the third.  Sounds like a fun game to be witnessing in person.

Trinity can't move the ball from deep in their end and DPU sets up shop at their own 40.
