FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Tacttm1]

These penalties are killing Millsaps...must be about 10 with tons of holding and personal fouls.....too many men on the field means a wasted timeout.  MC doens't seem to be playing too sharp, as a whole.  Q4 needs to start with a score and get us out of the self-destruct mode.

Trinity holds B-SC to a three and out.   A nice ten-play drive culminates in another Patrick Dickinson TD run, this time from ten yards out.  34-7 Trinity with 2:04 left in the third.

EDIT:  B-SC's punter fumbles the snap, Trinity takes over at the 21.  Second string starts to rotate in for Trinity, led by QB Jeremy Staska.   15 minutes to play.

EDIT:  Graves finds Galatas for another long TD and the Cardiac Kids from Jackson are within five with 13 minutes to play.

does any one have the email address for DP while he is broadcasting...I missed it.

Staska carries the ball four times, scoring from a yard out on the last carry, as Trinity extends the lead to 41-7.

See, they do play better at home.  

DPU gets a big pass interference call on third down to keep the ball out of Chris Graves' hands for a little while longer.  

EDIT:  Jimmy Stainback finds Johnny Lawroski from 22 yards out and BSC's backups have a nice drive to make the score 41-14, 9:21 to play. 

[DPU3619]

Huge 42 yarder from Havercamp.

29-21 with 4:16.

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity gets a punt blocked and BSC takes over inside the TU 40.   Grr.  

[DPU3619]

Galatas AGAIN.  4 catches for 166 and 3 TD's.  2 pointer fails.  29-27 DPU with 3:37.

Galatas AGAIN.  4 catches for 166 and 3 TD's.  2 pointer fails.  29-27 DPU with 3:37. 

Millsaps only has 1 timeout remaining if the live stats are correct.   DPU ball at their 27.

[DPU3619]

Big 3rd and 11 conversion to Koors ices it.  29-27 the final.  Spud 28-34 372 and 3 TD's.  Huge win.

[Ron Boerger]

Final in SA, 41-14 Trinity.

DPU gets a big personal foul call against Millsaps, then a 23-yard pass from Spud Dick to Alex Koors to seal the win.  DPU 29, Millsaps 27, final.   Congrats DPU !

Centre, up 18-0 vs Sewanee, will have the conference lead by themselves after today.

EXCELLENT game by Depauw today - no turnovers, stopped the run, made the big plays - Spud Dick and Koors not to mention Havercamp kicking after back surgery this week who ends up with a game-winning 42-yarder.  Congratulations to the Tigers.

Millsaps will have to play a full game if they intend to contend for the league title.  Inconsistent play, penalties, lack of pressure on the QB all killed us today.  We'd better play a much more complete game at Huntingdon next week!

From other results, I'd say Trinity has bounced back showing that they are more than they brought to Jackson last week.  And Centre may yet be for real.  Depauw certainly is, especially with their starting QB on the field!

Congratulations on DePauw for keeping their NCAA playoff hopes alive.  Millsaps still has playoff hopes but now those hopes ride on winning out and getting some help.  The folks in Jackson just became huge Trinity Tiger fans, since Trinity winning over both DePauw and Centre along with Millsaps winning out would give Millsaps the AQ (and at 9-1 and a co-SCAC Championship, Trinity would have to be in the short list of at-large candidates).

This game was going to be tough all along for Millsaps, coming on the road and on the heels of having just played Trinity.  Plus playing a very talented team that needed a win or else the season would became somewhat of a wait for the second season, the rivalry game against Wabash.  Still, Millsaps had a 2-point attempt to tie the game in the closing minutes.  

It seems like that 2-point attempt was a reflection of the biggest difference I see between the 2008 and 2009 teams.  Last year the offense hit receivers for short gains and hopefully they turned them into bigger gains.  This year the receivers are often catching the ball for no gain and having to get all of the positive yardage after the catch.  I'm saying that as an observation, not as a criticism.  I trust the coaches to come up with a plan that works best with the players on the roster, but it seems like with the graduation of Eric McCarty and maybe a couple of other guys, we lost the go to receivers on the short balls.

Maybe I'm wrong on that--it's not like I see the game real well when taking photos and I've never professed to know much about the X's and O's.  It just seems like this is the one area on offense where we don't get a lot of "move the sticks" type of production.

Tomorrow's forecast for San Antonio:  a 100% chance of rain with locally heavy rainfall possible in the afternoon.  That field is going to be one muddy mess by the end of the game.   

Ron, for five seasons now since I've had Tiger Cam, when I pull it out, the clouds part.  Not one rain game for my son in 5 years. 

No different today.  It was overcast.  No rain. 

Tiger Cam mojo prevails yet again. 

(People were really betting against me on this one today!)

Centre 20 - Sewanee 0.
They did not play well offensively, but defense obviously did well.
This is a good news bad news game as starting QB, Tyler Osterman broke his ankle and is out for the remainder of the season.
Hopefully the team rallies around his replacement, senior, Grant Conliffe. Ironically, Conliffe was the starter last year until Sewanee ended his season with an injury.
I haven't seen any stats on this game yet, but I can tell you that Centre had 3 td's called back. They cannot continue to rack up penalties and remain unbeaten.
Go Colonels!
