Trying to watch the webcast (Millspas warmups)    Does anyone know how to make it bigger than the 2 X 2 inch square screen??   Thanks,  TT1

Got it.  Thanks.

Couple of typical DePauw drives to start.  Got it down inside the 5 and failed on 4th down after 17 plays.  Got it back after a punt and Engle finds Colin Doran behind everybody after DePauw had run almost nothing but short stuff.  7-0.

Then TU comes back and gets a bomb to Urban on the first play.  7-7.

Koors just broke free on a 38 yarder.  14-7.  Buckle up.

Markham Stayton catches McKissic's second of the day.  14-14.  Then TU recovers a rather confusing (again!) onside kick.

Another lightning delay in Sherman, and we just heard a ton of thunder as the delay nears the end. 10 minutes left in the delay, but lots of lightning still around here.

This one might not get played.

[DPU3619]

ANOTHER big pass play to Urban.  35 yarder to make it 21-14 TU.  TU's 3 scoring plays are 64, 22, and 35 yards.  McKissic is 7-7 for 153 & 3 scores.

Millsaps game:  16-3, Millsaps   alsmost half time

UPDATE::

Centre hits a 52 yard FG,

16-6   at halftime

[DPU3619]

This game is 21-14 TU at half.  DePauw has been inside the five yard line twice with 0 points to show for it.  They've given up 3 deep pass plays and an onside kick.  Ought to be down a lot more than just the 7.

Biel has kicked a 33 yarder.  24-14.  8 minutes left in the third.

Koors just caught his 2nd TD of the day.  A 30 yarder that he made a GREAT catch on over the top of 2 defenders.  He's now got 7 catches for 114 & the 2 scores.  24-21 TU.

23 - 6  Millsaps over Centre; Mid Q 3

[jekelish]

Austin College and Rhodes have suspended their game due to lightning. Play will resume at 11:00 AM (CST) tomorrow morning with the score still 0-0, 3:18 left in the first quarter.

[DPU3619]

24-24.  Malm just hit a 41 yarder.  11 minutes left.

[PrayingColonel]

Centre scored. It's now 23-12. Two pt conv failed.

[DPU3619]

McKissic has sure been hit pretty hard today.  7 sacks for DePauw.  They force a punt.  DPU has it at their own 42 with 1:54.

Engle just gave a pick 6 down near TU's 30.  31-24 TU.  1:19 left.

Koors is inexpliably WIDE OPEN for a 34 yarder.  Then Robby goes for 2 and gets it on a fade to Nathan Evans.  32-31.  DePauw wins!  Took until the last time they played there to win, but it still counts.

[PrayingColonel]

Millsaps just scored. Looks like this one is over in Danville.

[TigerDad]

Trinity takes the lead 31-24 with just a minute left on a Ben Robinson INT returned 67 yards for a TD.  DPU responds by going down the field in just about 5 plays, scores a TD on a short pass, then goes for TWO.  Pass complete in corner of end zone.  DePauw takes the lead 32-31.  Trinity has 20 seconds, but can't move the ball and DPU wins.

Almost, TU.  Must have been the officials the Indiana Tigers brought down for their last try at EM Stevens.  I guess the home field advantage was just a point short today.

Keep your heads up Trinity ... there's still more games to play.  Very impressive performance against the SCAC champs today.

[evacuee]

We've finally learned the secret to the Tigers' incredible home winning streak that was snapped in 2007-

Better players

Yes, traveling all the way to SAT is tough, but the players on the field were always the real difference maker.  Today, the Tigers gave everything they had to win this game.  Given the matchup, it's something of which we can all be proud.  However, the DePauw Tigers had Alex Koors and for him Trinity just has no answer.  There were others that are also great, but in the end, DePauw went to their better players for the plays they needed and gave us a dose of our own medicine.

We can be proud of our performance, but a loss like this has to be devastating for the players.  Trinity does not take the field to merely play well.  To leave the field with a loss at any level of performance is equally sickening.

On to next week.

[DPU3619]

That's probably the greatest game in the history of this series.  I'm sure we could have a debate about it (2004), but that was an AWESOME football game on both sides.

That's such a great call to go for two.  Good decision, good play call, good execution.  DePauw was lucky to even have that chance considering how many mistakes they made.  Awful sloppy today, but had it when they needed it.

The question is now how motivated this team will be down the stretch.  They've never been in this position.  They only had the Bell game to play last year after they clinched.  You've got to stay sharp for 2 more weeks before Monon.  10-0 is a long way off with some good teams between now and then, but that'll going a long way in helping your draw in the North.  Don't shoot yourself in foot here and punch your ticket to Alliance or Whitewater.
