FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Ron Boerger]

He just got it.    45-3, doubt we'll see Engle any more today ...

WashU gets a FG at the end of the first half to take a 10-7 into the locker room against Rhodes.

Millsaps holds, Skinner scores from a yard out on fourth down to take a 21-14 lead at Lagrange.  Looks like the Majors D has turned up the intensity in the second half.

TRYING to get on the Faulkner feed to see what the BSC score is in a game that should just about be over.

Zambiasi came back in at QB for Austin, maybe they just rotate.   Still 7-0 AC there. 

[Ron Boerger]

Can't get the Maryville feed back.  

Millsaps gets a big INT deep in their own end, but the LaGrange defense holds and will start at the Millsaps 40, 12:16 to play.

RHIT is threatening now that DPU is playing their waterboy and cheerleaders.

Sewanee comes back to earth, trail W&L 20-3 at the half.  

EDIT:  Lagrange marches those 40 yards in nine plays to tie things up, converting a fourth-and-two at the Millsaps 21 along the way.

Ron - FYI, Zambiasi and Towery do just rotate. I'm not sure if it'll last that way the whole season, but for now I'd say you can probably expect Zambiasi between 2/3 and 3/4 of the time. The two were pretty much 1A and 1B coming out of fall camp.

[jekelish]

Zambiasi to Harrell for a 15 yard touchdown and AC FINALLY gets on the board again. 14-0, 11:27 left in the third.

[Ron Boerger]

Millsaps and LaGrange are going to OT after the Majors' fifth turnover of the day, an interception at the LaGrange 28 with 25 seconds left.

Rhodes now up 14-10 on WashU, Chris Rose scored from 2 yards out.  About ten minutes to play there.

RHIT gets a couple of mercy TDs to make it, well, not respectable, how about less embarassing.  45-16 DPU victory puts the rest of the SCAC on notice.

Finally got the MV feed back, it's 28-0 Centre, 11:38 remaining.   A little surprised to see Tyler Ostermann still in the game, to be honest, given how ineffective the MV offense has been.  He's looked pretty good running and throwing today.

Sewanee gets a TD with 1:52 left in the third quarter, but still trails W&L 34-10.

[Ron Boerger]

Just got the LaGrange audio - apparently they won in OT despite Millsaps outgaining the Panthers 424-273 in total yardage.    The live stats offer no details, neither did the announcers.  

TLU and AC trade TDs, but AC's XP was blocked; 20-7 AC with 5:38 left in the third.

Rhodes gets the win after a nice goal-line stand; trailing 14-10, WashU had first down at the Lynx 3, but two runs netted one yard, a third down pass was incomplete, and a pass on fourth down actually lost yardage.   

[Ron Boerger]

From the SCAC scoreboard:  BSC thrashes Faulkner, 52-16. 

Millsaps final was 21-27 in OT. 

That will do it for me - heading to SA to visit my in-laws.

Millsaps vs. LaGrange:   Turnovers kill the Majors.
In OT, MC needs very short yard or two for a first down, so they put it in the air (like that worked so well all day, right??) instead of either taking the FG which would have forced LG to make the touchdown.

MC is still showing some 'disorganization' but I guess with 2nd and 3rd string QB's that is to be expected.

It is to be expected somewhat that the Majors need some adjustment time with a new coaching staff.  Certainly tough to start 0-2, but conference play starts this week and there is still plenty of time to right the ship!

Nice to see the Tigers begin the year with a convincing win. The competition will be tougher as SCAC play begins for sure, but always good to see a team come out and take care of business. And congratulations to Depauw QB Mike  Engle...SCAC Offensive Player of the Week!

OK...I know we're only two weeks in...but what's the feeling in San Antonio and Jackson? The Majors 0-2???  And what about Centre??? With players like Osterman and Pinque back on offense, would think there would be some big numbers being put up...and certainly not a loss to Hanover!  

[Ron Boerger]

Watched a good deal of Centre - Maryville, just seemed like they weren't clicking on all cylinders offensively in the first half.  Pinque and Ostermann were getting the job done but it wasn't consistent.  Second half was better but was that Centre or was Murville just lousy?  Defensive did a good job but Murville's scored 3 points total in its first two games. 

Millsaps gave a top-20 Mississippi College a good game, especially for the first one under a new coaching staff, and absent the turnovers (at least a couple of them) would easily have won last week.  That's a trend to watch as they put the ball on the ground at least two other times, only to recover, while I was listening in.  0-2 but averaging something like 380 yards/game on offense. 

Liked what I saw from the Trinity rushing attack given neither back had carried the ball before.  Pretty conservative game plan, but if the running success continues it will open up the passing game.  OL was solid, opened some holes running the ball and provided good pass protection.  Defense is smallish as always but had good speed closing on ball carriers.   Lots of injuries in the opener, will be interesting to see who plays against Rhodes this week.

Good info...thanks Ron...will be interesting watching the conference season unfold...

Noticed Pinque only had two carries in the stats.  What happened ?
