While the outcome was not what I desired, I take a great deal of pride at how the guys competed today.  If the pass on the two point conversion is an inch or two higher Evans either doesn't pull it down or doesn't get it in time to get that foot down in bounds.  Gutsy call by Coach Long to go for the W at the end and Engle put the ball exactly where it had to go.   I told my brother that Trinity shouldn't assume they had the game won after the pick six (and, sadly, called the final pass to Koors).    Also pretty gutsy to throw it to Evans after he dropped that other pass late. 

That Trinity had the lead until the end given eight sacks and constant pressure on McKissick (to none of Engle - since when is a zero yard rush a sack?), a ton of penalties (including a couple of obvious face masks), and everything else is a tribute to all the guys who played today and the coaching staff who worked their tails off to get a struggling .500 team prepared.   

BTW, Wes, we had a nice chat with one of your trustees at the game - an older gentleman with a daughter who went to Trinity when I was doing graduate work and a granddaughter who's there now.  Any idea who that might be?  We didn't get his name.    And I agree, this was probably the best game I saw in SA in the series.

I do not know who that is, Ron. They don't really let me around the trustees. :D

Great game by both teams today.  Hardly a "messy" game by DePauw.  They were machine-like in execution (very Trinity-like :)  ) and apart from big plays by TU dominated the game. 

Well done.

Kudos to both Tigers on an incredible game Satuday. Big for DPU to go on the road and pull out a victory. Impressive for a Trinity team that is thought to be "down" to compete the way they did.  Sorry the series is ending.

24 hours and 15 minutes after they started on Saturday, Austin College downs Rhodes 17-16. Travis Zambiasi completed a 17 yard fade pass to Greg Harrell in the back of the endzone with 1:07 left in the game to give the 'Roos the win.

DePauw is the first team out in the new Top 25.  Wabash fell out despite doing their duty against NCAC bottom-feeders.  The LG's are the second team out.  Time for them to really make some hay, though.  That group has Gheny, @Witt & Monon to finish.

How about Hampden-Sydney pulling a #1 ranking the South Region?

I looked at scores and that just seems like a stretch.  They definitely don't merit the ranking on strength of schedule.

Senior Day at Millsaps and a few other colleges, I would assume.

Hopefully the Majors can add another 'W' against Sewanee.

With only 2 games to go, I feel that sad feeling of the end of the season fast approaching.......

DePauw beats BSC 30-23.  DPU able to kill the last 4:51 on the clock with a 9 play drive.  Pretty close game throughout.  DePauw kept BSC in check early, but the Panthers went for almost 200 yards in the second half. 

It's kinda nice having BSC & Austin back-to-back on the schedule, because you lump those two run-heavy teams together.  Different systems & schemes, but you stay in that run defense mode. 

14 days until the greatest day of the year.

Not been the most exciting conference race this year (unless you're a DPU fan), sad to say.  Trinity will be a sub-.500 team for the first time this century after today's 26-7 loss at Centre.   

DePauw clinched their first-ever SCAC championship (as opposed to co-championship) with their 30-20 win over Austin.  It's also the first time they've started a season 9-0.  They need to win the Monon Bell game to get a good seed (and home game) in the playoffs. 

BSC clobbered Rhodes 41-19.

Personally, there is one big game left in the SCAC and that is Austin College at Trinity next week.  This could be the year!  ;) :)

I like the optimism...and you may be right!  ;)
