Millsaps finally puts together a good drive (19 plays) and scores with 30 seconds left. Score now 16-7 in favor of Depauw.  Millsaps gets the opening kick of 2nd half.

Depauw kneels it to end the half, 16-7 Depauw at the half.  Millsaps offense had one good drive to end the half, but have been quiet otherwise.  Have some adjustments to make!

The kneel was a ploy to set up a quick play where DePauw starts to walk off the field after the kneel down, but then they quickly set up for a play in hopes that the other team is caught unaware.  Interesting play, but I think they would have been better off by trying 2 or 3 long passes.

DePauw has tried that one a few times over the years, but they never can get the officials to understand what they're trying to do.  I don't think DePauw's going to be able to get it down close enough for a FG attempt in 20 seconds, and if you don't think you can throw a 60 yard TD pass, might as well try something creative.

Caleb Urban scores again, this time from ~60 yards out on a double reverse (live stats are very intermittent today so can't look it up.   20-7 Trinity with 7:37 before halftime.  

The Tigers are finding the running lanes much more open this week than last.

Wes, both ways might have been long shots and I'm glad the officials did seem to bog down the DePauw plan.

Millsaps gets the ball to start the 2nd half.  Tack on some points to start the 3rd quarter, make some defensive adjustments to at least slow down the DePauw attack, and there's still a lot of time left for a Millsaps comeback.

Wanted to make this a seperate post:

That is a very nice gesture by the DePauw officials that they included the initials "PD" with the pink ribbons markings on the field that symbolize the fight against brest cancer.  The "PD" is for Polly DuBose, the wife of Coach DuBose who has been dealing with the disease in recent weeks.

A very big thumbs up to DePauw for their thoughfulness.

B-SC goes for it on fourth-and-nine from the TU 14 but Tyler Barrett breaks up a pass in the end zone.  Still 20-7 with less than two minutes to play in the half.  Looks like Trinity will just run out the clock.

Colonels up 14-0 on Sewanee. Looks like it's halftime.

[Ron Boerger]

Rhodes trails WashU, 14-0 with ten minutes to play in the first half.    Rhodes got to the WU red zone on their opening possession but a WU player intercepted a Stoops pass.

EDIT:  Turns out Urban's double reverse TD was "only" 49 yards, btw.

[DPU3619]

DePauw in again with a Mulligan TD catch.  Looks like he and Koors are more than a handful for the Millsaps secondary this afternoon.  Koors with another big catch on the drive.  Mulligan drew a pass interference penalty after he burned the Millsaps corner.  23-7 now.

Spud is now 17-22 for 247 and 3 scores.

EDIT: Millsaps comes right back with a 68 yarder to Galatas.  23-14.

Another big catch by Koors gets DePauw into Millsaps territory, but it stalls and they settle for the Havercamp 36 yarder.  26-14.

Dick and the long ball is making for a long day  (so far)

[frank_ezelle]

DePauw has also avoided the turnover all game--it seems like Millsaps will need one or two of those as part of the formula for a comeback.

[Ron Boerger]

On the first series of the second half, TU's Dickinson scores on a broken play, taking it in from 12 yards out.   27-7 Trinity, 8:55 left in third.

Plays for Trinity:  rushing, 27 for 193 yds; passing, 6-of-8 for 107.  
Plays for B-SC:  rushing, 22 for 97;  passing, 5-of-10 for 32.

Centre 8 Sewanee 0 beginning of 3rd quarter. Sewanee playing pretty tough defense, Offense hasn't gotten much going yet.
