Trinity gets a pick at mid field ... drives down the field but can only get a field goal by Licalzi.  Score now Trinity 27, UOS 13 in the middle of the 3rd.

Ugly game in Sherman...9 combined turnovers, with the decisive score coming on a pick 6 by Matt Finke late in the fourth quarter to put AC up 17-7.  Rhodes came back with a quick touchdown, but AC managed to hold them off.  Finke had two picks, a TD, a fumble recovery, and another blocked kick.

Trinity 27, UOS 13 at the end of the third.  Sewanee deep in their own territory to begin the fourth.

[TigerDad]

Trinity drives the length of the field and into the red zone, but comes up scoreless after a Licalzi missed FG.  Score still 27-13 with 9:33 remaining.

Trinity gets a stop on Sewanee, has the ball at mid field with only 3 minutes remaining in the game.. 27-13

Final on the mountain ... Trinity 27, Sewanee 13.

Sets up the big "Shootout in San Antone" next week ... BRING ON THE MAJORS.

Be careful what you wish for TigerDad

Thanks, Tiger Dad.   I was suffering until you started posting updates.

Sick to think of Chris standing on the sidelines, but it looks like the kids picked up the slack well.  Before I lost the feed, and during a couple of breif periods where I had it back I saw Al Furlow rip off a couple of long ones.  This game was a good one to get him some good quality playing time.  We haven't run the ball this well in ages.

Being able to do so--especaially in TUs two back sets--might require the majors to play the run a little tighter than they've had to in some of the most recent contests.  I really wish I could be in San Antonio next week.   This game between TU and the Majors is really shaping up to be a storied rivalry--that's good for everyone, I think.

I also hear Bob on the Audio feed talking about Danny Rad. I was happy to see that he made the trip, and that his parents where there.  Please tell them I miss them too.

Was pulling for Trinity today. Glad ya'll pulled off the victory. Will make next week that much sweeter. See ya in SA......

[MajorDad]

Appears there will be a good deal of movement in the Top 10, with #2 and #3 losing and #4 playing #7 the Majors could conceivably get to #5 in an off week, or get jumped. A victory in TX next week could get us inside the top 5. Maybe we can stay where we are......LOL Too much pressure.....

Yes, perhaps they are. Though very difficult, perhaps the Kangroos took another step today. Man, that Rhodes defense is something.

And perhaps Matt Finke is a great example of what DIII is about. I can't imagine he would even get a chance to play at a higher NCAA level, but the kid just keeps making plays. The way he was limping around last week in Birmingham I wasn't sure he would be able to play today. But boy did he play!

Way to go Roos! Keep on steppin' !

I had a nice time on the mountain today.  It was homecoming for UOS as well as alumni weekend.  They had a lot of good tailgating and fellowship.  We were treated quite nicely from all.  I appreciate that.  I like the nice touch of the fans generally being well dressed.  It was definitely classy southern environment.  Easy to do when the temp is 60 outside and not 90. 

Beautiful campus as well.  Mrs. Tex and I had a great time.  Thanks to all that helped make that happen.  I agree with Coach Haack, it wasn't fun to see Chris Baer not playing.  Al did a nice job, but having the 1-2 punch is sweet.  Glad he'll be well reseted for next week. 

Hopefully a great game next weekend.

Best thing Millsaps did was not play today.  #2,#3, and #4 all lose.

I'm guessing Millsaps jumps them all to land in the Top 5.

Just behind Wabash.

Just behind Wabash.   

Let's see:

---Wabash beat Washington U. 37-12
---Rhodes beat Washington U. almost as bad with a 28-10 victory.
---Millsaps beat Rhodes 49-2

How sure are you that Wabash should be ranked ahead of Millsaps?

Okay, I know that's not really fair to take a one time comparison of scores.  That comparing scores is really only legitimate if there is a consistent trend.

By the way, I was looking at the SCAC stats and found the following:

2006 Season:  DePauw loses at Millsaps 7-31; DePauw loses at Wabash 20-23
2007 Season:  DePauw loses at home to Millsaps 17-35; DePauw wins at home against Wabash 24-21

Hmm, maybe the D3 voters should take a closer look at whether Millsaps or Wabash should be ranked higher.
