WOW!

[Ralph Turner]

DePauw is ranked tenth in the latest regional rankings. Trinity is still #1, UMHB #3, HSU dropped a place to #7, and bewilderingly Ferrum is still #2.

 

Bonzo,  if Ferrum can pull it off, then more power to them.

If Ferrum players let it go to their heads, then Methodist or CNU will be very appreciative of the "psych-ops" job that the Selection Committee did on them!

[Ron Boerger]

Well, Ralph, you know I don't like seeing teams getting home games and easy games they don't deserve.  If Ferrum ends up #2 and HSU stays at #7 (not sure why they dropped this week, either) then HSU goes to Trinity (yeah, they go regardless) but Ferrum ends up the beneficiary playing a #8.  PU.

I was very happy to see Keith McMillian announce in today's Around the Nation that he will be covering this year's Monon Bell game.  My original plan was to cover the game, and there were even cheap airfares to let me do it.   I ended up having major church responsibilities the morning after the game, and there was a chance that I might get hung up and not be able to get back - there was only one flight that would let me cover the game and get back Saturday night.  So, regretfully, I passed on going.

In any case, it's better for DPU and Wabash to get coverage on a national level than on a regional, so y'all treat Keith right.   He's a better writer, too.

Just be sure to tune into DirecTV 321 - or find a viewing party in your area - if you can.

There are parties in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Just be sure to wear RED! 

[Ralph Turner]

Ron, let's hope that the committee will give Ferrum a regional ranking that most of us can undertand.

[historymajor]

Ralph,,, Ralph, Ralph, now you're expecting East/regional bias to step back..... get a grip..... Just because Ferrum is the only (well almost) undefeated East team,,,, you don't suppose that they would get some kind of favorable bias??

[smedindy]

Funny, I think the people at Ferrum would plotz before they would be considered East.

And wouldn't the D-3 bias be western, anyway, with Linfield, Whitewater, etc???

[Ron Boerger]

Cameron Hummel's pass on the first play of the game picked off and returned 29 yards for a score.  He atones for it on the next series by carrying it 66 yards to tie the game.   

Rose tries an onside kick but DPU recovers, coverts a fourth-and-11 on the 28, 14-7 with 12:25 left in the first. 

Charlie Key fumbles, recovered by DPU, Tigers take over at the Engineer 22.  First play is a trick play, Brian Culp finds Weithoff for six, DPU up 21-7 with 12:07 still to play in the first half.  DePauw has scored as many points in the first three minutes of this game as in the last two games combined. 

Rose starts at their five after a holding penalty, can't do anything, DePauw takes advantage of the resulting short field.  With most of the work being done on the ground by Jeremiah Marks, DePauw now holds a 28-7 lead with 6:54 left in the first. 

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity has an almost 90-yard drive to start the game but Cannon's pass is intercepted at the Sewanee 1.   Scoreless, 6:04 in the first. 

Sewanee can't move the ball and Trinity takes over at the 41.
Ray Valencia scores on a 26-yard run off the left side.  Trinity leads 7-0 with 2:29 left in the first.

KRTU just announced that Robin Kelner has a slight knee injury and is not returning punts today.

DePauw has a 79-yard drive with Jeremiah Marks scoring his second TD of the game.  Kick is blocked and DPU leads 34-7.

Rose can't do much, DePauw drives about 50 yards and gets a 28-yard Tyler Mallory field goal to increase the lead to 37-7 with 11 seconds left in the half.   

[Hawks88]

Willie Horn 5 yd TD run with 12:18 left in 2nd Qtr. Huntingdon 7-Westminster 0.
HC moving the ball well but has 1 fumble lost and a missed FG. WC has about 20 yds offense so far.

[Ron Boerger]

Cannon fumbles and Sewanee takes over at the Trinity 22. 

Would not be surprised to see QB change on next series.  Cannon is not sharp after a good start. 

Sewanee gets it to the 3 but the Black Flag stiffens.  Sewanee 20-yd FG with 0:12 left closes the gap to 7-3. 

[Hawks88]

Westminster drives down and is stopped on fourth and goal at the one.
Willie Horn goes 99 yds for TD to make it 14-0 Huntingdon.

[Hawks88]

Westminster drives again and scores on a 4 yd pass to make it 14-7 with 2:25 left in half.

[Ron Boerger]

Cameron Hummel has rushes of 30 and 44 yards in RHIT's first possession of the second half, the second for a touchdown, but the gap is still 37-14.  Hummel's 157 yards rushing account for the bulk of RHIT's offense (210 yards). 

Trinity and Sewanee about to start the second half, TU gets the kick to start the half and will start at their 15 after yet another penalty.  Cannon is still in at QB, I imagine he will have a very short leash in the second half.   Three straight rushes gain only nine yards and Sewanee will start at their 45 after the punt. 

DePauw comes right back, an eight-play drive with seven runs and an incomplete pass ends with an 11-yard Jason Murphy TD carry.  The kick is good and DPU again leads by 30, 44-14. 

Sewanee gets to the TU 38 but two straight sacks force a punt, TU starts at their 10. 

DePauw holds RHIT again, drives 44 yards; Dorrius Ford scores from five yards out.  After the PAT it's 51-14.   Ouch!!

Anthony Hicks scores on a five-yard pass from Cannon as Trinity extends the lead to 14-3 with 0:37 left in the third quarter.  9:06, 17 play drive for Trinity, mostly on the ground. 

[Ralph Turner]

Hawks88, keep those scores coming.
