Today's thrashing was not solely an issue of the secondary.  Sul Ross couldn't be stopped in any way.  They really just did whatever they wanted all game long and you can only do that to Trinity if you have great players, which Sul Ross apparently has all of a sudden.

As bad as things were during the 90-92 seasons, TU never gave up 60+.

To say the result today is shocking would be an understatement.  Wow.

Asuza Pacific defeated Trinity by a score of 55-27 in 2009.
Millsaps defeated Trinity 56-27 in 2008.
UMHB scored 52 points on Trinity in the 2007 playoffs, winning 52-23.
Central defeated Trinity 56-14 in 1986.
Southern Miss defeated Trinity 53-31 in 1970.

but you have to go all the way back to 1962 to find the last time Trinity allowed 60+, to West Texas (61-0).   And you have to go back to 1949 to find a Trinity team allowing 62 more more (66-19 loss v. HSU).

Unfortunately we won't know if Sul Ross is for sure legit until their game in two weeks against UMHB but what are the thoughts? Was Trinity's secondary just exposed or were they that much better on offense? I've never seen anybody have their way with trinity like that and so I honestly think Sul Ross should get some major points this week in the polls.

Having seen both the SRSU-TU game and the McMurry-TU playoff game on video,  SRSU's skill players were every bit as good as McMurry's 2011contingent. I thought that TU's overall lack of team speed hurt them again this year.

I want to see how SRSU's lines match against UMHB.  Also LiDarrell Bailey is playing like a senior!

Except McMurry had one of the top offenses in the nation and Trinity limited them to 25 points. Trinity is obviously hurting from the loss of Tyler Barrett and Antonio Debouse but other than that they aren't missing too much more. I guess I'm still just in shock. How does a team go from 2-8 to upsetting the #11 Team in the Nation? Did their transfers make that big of a difference? Sul Ross has a stellar offense but I think they will have to step up majorly on defense if they want to come away with another big win at UMHB.

I agree.

Austin College's win had some other rewards.  AC swept the SCAC players of the week.  See link below.
