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

Wow, guess I confused Scotton (85 yds) with Pinque - thought the MV announcer was getting it wrong.  Didn't get on the broadcast from the start so did not see the play where Pinque was injured, if indeed that's what occurred.

Pinque got dinged up a little in the first half of the Maryville game and they took him out.
It did not look like anything major. Just being cautious with their All League Back and Maryville a non-league opponent.
Similar thing happened in the Hanover game with Osterman. He took a hit right before half and came out of the game for a play. The 2nd half the OC was ultra conservative. I think they handed the ball off every play for 3 straight series. The last 2 minutes of the game they opened up the offense and thats when Centre tied the game and scored again to start O.T.. Unfortunately, Hanover scored too and on a great call by their Head Coach, went for two and got it.
The Colonels seemed to get it together in the 2nd half vs Maryville. Hopefully that continues this week and the rest of the SCAC season.

Trinity's game package (.pdf) for the Rhodes game has been posted.  

BTW, for the two people who care, I probably will not be updating games this weekend and definitely not the week after as we are heading to Germany for a couple of weeks of R&R.   While I could find an internet cafe' in Munich, there are better things to do on a Saturday evening there this time of year.

Austin and Millsaps are playing a dandy here.  16-10 Roos late in the 2nd quarter. 

Hampden-Sydney is having their way with Sewanee.  38-0 early in the third.

yep...interesting game...I think it's safe to say the SCAC is wiiiiddde open this year.

Centre kicks a FG after a Engle INT in DPU territory.  10-7. 4 minutes left in the half.

Also of note, Rhodes is enjoying a 10-3 lead near the half at Trinity.  Headscratcher.

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity passing attack has been totally ineffective (2-11 in first half).  Expect a QB change in second half if trend continues.  It's raining, but it's not raining that hard.

Dude updates from Germany!  Rock solid.

DePauw scores it right before the half.  Ellis from the 1.  14-10 DePauw.

LOL, don't leave until Monday AM - just had stuff to get done today to prep.  Stuff done.  

Rhodes gets a 51-yd run from Matt Gilbert on the first series of the 2nd half.   PAT missed, 16-3 Rhodes 11:38 3rd.  

Davidson's first pass of the second half into double- or triple-coverage is intercepted.   Make the change!

TU defense holds Rhodes to a FG - not bad given starting position on 30.  19-3 Lynx, 4:41 third.

Davidson's second pass of the second half is intercepted.  MAKE. THE. CHANGE.

TU defense holds.  Patrick Dickinson comes in at QB, Trinity starts at their three.

Dickinson hits a 34-yd completion on 3rd and six from the seven.   That more than doubles TU's passing output for the game.  End of the third and I'm about to go get dinner.

[DPU3619]

DePauw wins 21-16.  Gave up over 200 rushing yards, but still got the win.

Rhodes beats Trinity 22-16.  TU 17-40 with 2 INTs between their 3 passers. 

[D3_DPUFan]

21-17 DePauw now.  Karazsia in from 3 yds out.  Osterman just scored it for Centre.  About 4 minutes left in a game that has absolutely flown by.

Trinity is in TROUBLE.  TU got in the end zone.  Dickinson to Urban on a 30 yarder.  PAT blocks.  Rhodes has another FG.  22-9.  3 minutes to go.

Wow...back to my earlier statement...SCAC is wide open!

[D3_DPUFan]

And kudos to the Depauw defense for stepping up and making things happen with the game on the line!

[Ron Boerger]

DePauw wins 21-16.  Gave up over 200 rushing yards, but still got the win.

Rhodes beats Trinity 22-16.  TU 17-40 with 2 INTs between their 3 passers.  

Only two passers.

Davidson 2-13-2-0 TD 18 yds in nearly three quarters
Dickinson 15-27-0-2 TD 196 yds in a little over a quarter

Sorry to say this, but if Davidson gets yanked after the first INT, TU may have had a chance.  Expecting Dickinson to lead them back from a 16 point deficit in a little over a quarter was just a bit much.  They got 2 TDs, got the final onside kick, but fumbled in Lynx territory with a few seconds left. 

Trinity actually outgained Rhodes, 394-252, but way too many stupid penalties (11/100 yds) and turnovers (four, to none by the Lynx) killed them.
