FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Millsaps just has 76 yard TD called back for offensive pass interference.  Thought Millsaps was getting penalized an awful lot.  Turns out they had 12 penalties in the first 3 quarters.  However, Huntingdon had 15 penalties during that stretch. 

No longer know the score or time, but seems obvious that Millsaps will drop to 3-3.  Now the question is the health of the players, not just the two QBs but at least a couple of other players as well.

[Ron Boerger]

What a tough year it has been for SCAC QBs ... Centre, Trinity, DePauw, and now Millsaps have lost QBs to injuries of varying severity so far this season.  Hope your players are OK, Frank. 

[Tacttm1]

this wont be a fun final few minutes.

I has been a physical game alright, hope these guys are ok.

[Ron Boerger]

On the post-game radio broadcast, Coach DuBose said he thinks Chris Graves will be OK for next week and possibly could have gone back in the game today, but he wanted Chris to be healthy for conference.  He didn't know what the prognosis was for Murphy.

He was less-than-pleased (putting it mildly) with the officiating today.  

Wonder what ended up happening in Birmingham - I was giving blood today, watching the live stats and the Colonels were moving the ball all over the place on B-SC.  I turned the game off after Centre picked off a B-SC pass leading 14-7.  Hard to believe they didn't score after that, Centre was running wild up until then.   That old saw about the SCAC road being a tough place to win on keeps on keepin' on.   A loss to B-SC wouldn't have done anything to the Colonels' conference hopes but would have put a dagger in the heart of any Pool C chances, should they lose a game later this year.

Coach DuBose ought to know better.  Just like the SEC.

Mississippi can't get an officiating break in Alabama!

A little shocked at the turn around in Montgomery myself. Was 36-24 when I strated doing some other things and when I checked back wow. Great win for the Hawks. Millsaps needs win out now.

Yes, Graves definitely didn't look happy to not get to go back in when Murphy got hurt. We hope that Murphy will be okay, that was one tough hit he took.
I also agree with Coach Dubose on the officiating. It was terrible both ways. One of the worst groups I've seen in a while. No consistency whatsoever.
As for the game, that 2nd quarter was the worst that Huntingdon has played in a long time, possibly ever. I loved the guts our guys showed in fighting their way back to win the game, although I'm not sure the comeback would have been possible had Graves not gotten hurt or been allowed to come back in. Once he got things going late in the first we were having a real hard time stopping him.

Left the DPU live stats when it was 31-7 near the end of the 3rd, but it looks like they had some fun in the 4th.  52-26 ended up being the final. 

Spud with a school record 6 TD's on 25-36 passing for 343.  Threw the 6 TD's to 4 different players.  Koors had 2.  He's on an absolutely unheard of pace right now.  Another 6 catches for 126 and the 2 scores.

[Fripp52]

Wes, agree with your comments on the offense.  Except for a few drives in the second quarter, they looked really good.  Defensively, we let down the last 36 or so minutes.  Rhodes did not have a first down until mid second quarter. Then we could barely stop them.  I am sure some of it was mental focus, but that should not happen.  They scored 4 times from their last possession of the second quarter on.  I am sure the coaches will be emphasizing that letdown over the next couple weeks as they prepare for Trinity.  In some ways, that may be a good thing.

Thought it was noteworthy that the Memphis Commercial Appeal actually gave up some nice space in its Sunday edition for coverage of the Rhodes-DePauw game. Below is a link to the website...but in the paper the story actually got a bold headline and upper right hand corner placement in the college football section. Othe than the Bell game, certainly never see that in The Indianapolis Star. Tip of the hat to the folks in Memphis!

TigerDad....thanks for the composite sked...much needed this year!

the loss of Colorado College has proved for some interesting replacement games. I don't know much about Azuza but depauw finishes with Wabash.   Sewanee just chose not to fill the gap.

[DPU3619]

Actually, DePauw didn't fill theirs either.  That's why they have the off week this week to get ready for Trinity.  Should have been a trip to Colorado Springs this Saturday.

Azuza is a pretty darn good NAIA team year in and year out, but they're 1-6 this year.  Beat D3 UW-SP, but also got ran out of the joint at D3 UW-LaCrosse.  They beat the pants off TU in '03.

Actually, Wes, it was to five different receivers. Also worth noting that Bryan Mulligan just missed a 100 yard day For all of Alex Koors' much deserved recognition, Bryan continues to be a tough, gritty receiver who will catch anything remotely in his area and get YAC. Really a tough football player. He's also within 10 catches or so of becoming DePauw's all time leader in receptions.
