FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Centre is hanging in there, just pulled to within 21-14 of Wash And Lee

Nice comeback by Centre, tying it at 28. W&L driving.

[Ron Boerger]

Centre salvages some pride for the SCAC with their 42-35 come-from-behind win.  W&Ls decision to punt on 4th and 5 with 3:40 left and only 1 time out remaining wasn't too smart in hindsight.

4 TDs for Scotton probably mean he'll be the OMVP this week, too.

Nice pair of backs that the Colonels have.

[Kelly Boggs]

Millsaps played its starting QB. It was just a dominating performance by LC on both sides of the ball. The LC defense played very well, but the Majors did not help themselves by dropping quite a few balls. I think I counted 5 or 6 that should have been caught. While those catches might have led to a touchdown or two, they would not have significantly altered the outcome of the game.

[Ron Boerger]

SCAC players-of-the week have been announced. 

Offensive:  MONTE SCOTTON, Centre:  134 yds on 18 carries and a school record-tying 4 rushing TDs.
Defensive:  BEN ROBINSON, Trinity:  Five tackles (4 solo) and a 62-yard interception return.
Special Teams:   GARRETT BIEL, Trinity:  14 total points on the day, including field goals of 28 and 37 yards.  His 8 PATs tied a school record.

I was a bit surprised that BSC did not nominate anyone this week after their 42-7 drubbing of (1st year) NAIA Ave Maria. 

There was what appeared to be a serious injury to one of the BSC players on the kickoff opening of the second half - a long stoppage in play followed by the player in question being taken off via ambulance.  I can't find anything about the young man's condition but hope that he recovers fully.

I found the first part odd, but not the second. I don't think our voters are impressed by a drubbing of Rhodes and I'm not sure why coaches are. The AFCA voters don't generally seem to have a good handle on strength of schedule.

Was there an intervening message that has since been removed?  This doesn't seem to tie to my message, at least not the 'second part'.

[Pat Coleman]

Yes -- someone asked if people found it odd that Trinity was No. 24 in the AFCA poll and got no votes in the D3football.com Top 25. Guess they couldn't stand behind their question.

(El Tea Gray--re: Ron's Reply #9187 and Reply #9188)

Ron, with all due respect, the Trinity Tigers have two players that wear jersey #4 (one plays on Offense and the other plays on Defense):

#4 Justin Adler  DB  SO  Sarasota, FL
#4 Mason Blaschke  QB  FR  Cuero, TX

Mason Blaschke (true freshman--Wow) is the current back-up QB. He is extremely talented both running and passing the football; check him out by entering "Mason Blaschke on Hudl" in Google (he is #10 in solid Green). I believe that he will make an excellent back-up for Nyk McKissic. The last Tiger QB that had BOTH his Rushing and Passing skills, at least to my recollection, would probably have been Les Obie, who only played two seasons  (1964 and 1965).

I am guessing that Ron was either following a broadcast or live stats, either of which could have been confused by the dual number.

[Ron Boerger]

Thanks for the correction, etg.  I was indeed following the live stats since I didn't care to fund Rhodes athletics.  Two impressive runs by the young man, that's for sure.

BSC v. Sewanee on the mountain. Sewanee scrimmaged Lagrange while BSC played them in week 1. Any predictions?

BSC by at least 4 TD's.
