Change of QB for LaGrange ... now the guy who's completing 36% of his passes on the season comes in. Naturally, his first toss is complete. Second one isn't, Trinity once again will have lovely starting field position at their 17. 1:51 to play.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 01:53:55 PM

Tigers get their FIRST FIRST DOWN OF THE GAME, get to midfield, a dropped pass dooms the drive and LaGrange will take over at their 10 with 40 seconds left, run out the clock. Well, that's a half Trinity needs to put behind them.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 02:09:36 PM

Good news for Trinity - after 1-4 start, Nyk goes 4-6 for 74 yards. Defense is stiffening and given HC's great starting field position have to feel better about things after allowing the opening long TD drive.

Bad news - still down 10-0 and Panthers will have the ball to start the second half. Tigers have yet to convert a third down.

Starting position: Trinity: own 27, 27, 16, and 17. LaGrange: own 24 and 31, midfield, own 46.

Time of possession: LaGrange 22:33, Trinity 7:27.

It's homecoming at LaGrange so halftime will be a long one. Gotta be tough to play when your coach is in the hospital.

And ... after a big return of the 2nd half kick, Lagrange starts in Trinity territory near midfield. #somedaysarelikethat

Defense stops LC for loss on third and 2, Panthers punt, Trinity takes over at their 7. TU has GOT to do something about this crappy field position!

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 02:25:22 PM

On third and three from their 13, McKissic finds Kattner for 30. Trinity gets to LC 40 but lose three yards on third and five. LC takes over at their 20 after the punt is into the end zone.

Defense gives up a quick first down but holds after that. Trinity taks over on their 26. 5:14 left in third as Panthers are keeping the clock moving with their play calls.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 02:33:40 PM

Trinity gets on the board with a three-play, 73 yard drive. Desmond King scores from 27 yards out to narrow the LaGrange lead to 10-7. 4:01 left third. LaGrange starts at their 31.

A sack on first down puts the Panthers in a hole they can't recover from. Third down pass goes incomplete and Trinity will have a chance to take their first lead of the day starting from their 26 (after a holding penalty on the return).

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 02:39:29 PM

Tigers now having some success on the ground as three consecutive rushes net 59 yards, with Desmond King ripping one off for 24 and Nyk going for 30. Trinity has a first down at the LC 15.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 02:45:27 PM

Trinity has a first down at the two, but three straight rushes yet only one yard. Tigers take time out, 13:47 to play. McKissick scores on fourth down! 14-10 Trinity, 13:43 to play.

Sewanee up early on Centre, 7-0 per tweet from @CEntreAthletics.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 02:51:18 PM

Defense holds again and Trinity will have their best starting position of the day, at their own 38. 11:33 remaining.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 02:55:57 PM

Centre ties it up, 7:48 first.

Pass interference call on LC on third and long gives Trinity a first down at midfield. Timeout, Panthers, 10:27 to play.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 03:00:54 PM

Third down pass goes incomplete. Kyle Trella's punt goes out of bounds, LC will start at their 12. 8:30 left.

awadelewis · October 22, 2011, 03:02:44 PM

Word from Danville was that Sewanee's defense comes up big for us w/ interception deep in Centre territory. Quick score afterwards and then Centre drives next poss. in for a TD.

UPDATE: just checked the live stats, Centre putting together another good possession.

awadelewis · October 22, 2011, 03:07:34 PM

Centre drives it in for the score, 14-7 3:53 1Q.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 03:08:14 PM

Lagrange gets a gut-check first down on third-and-three. Next first down (on 2nd and two) called back with a chop block penalty. LC takes a timeout facing a third and six at their own 26. 5:50 to play. Get the first down on a 13-yard completion. In Trinity territory with best rush of second half, 18 yards by Gibson to TU 43. 27-yard completion to Magaw sets LC up at the 16.

Ron Boerger · October 22, 2011, 03:12:54 PM

Another timely interception by the Trinity defense ... Tyler Barrett picks off Ed Russ in end zone. 1:54 to play and LC with only 1 timeout remaining.
