Trinity's offense and defense are equally unbelievable, but for opposite reasons. I would just feel so frustrated if I were on that Tiger defense. My gosh, they were awesome this year.

It looks like McKissick just peaked early in the season. I have to think that with the way the bottom fell out from under him late this year, there's got to be a QB competition next fall.

Still, what a year!

Absolutely unbelievable game today. Trinity has been doubted all season as to whether or not they were legitimate and came out and cemented their status as having one of the top defensive squads in the nation. Their play this season has been incredible and Coach Dawson ought to be proud of the effort given today.

Offensively the Tigers matched McMurry drive for drive, actually having 30 more yards of offense. The game came down to an overthrown 2 point conversion and a punt return for a touchdown. McMurry's special teams definitely stepped up to win this game for them. It's a shame as I truly believe Trinity was the better team, even though both teams shot themselves in the foot multiple times in this one. Four interceptions will almost never amount to a win.

Congratulations to McMurry and I hope they take down the Cru next week. Congratulations to ever Tiger senior - they turned this program around this year and truly were a great team.

Great webcast by Trinity's staff today. I know the McMurry video was down and I think the two men (one was a player I believe?) doing the webcast did a very nice job keeping level heads and showing appreciation to both teams!

Good luck to Centre next week against Mount Union!

tigerguy, TU did play well, but are you aware that McMurry's all-conference QB was on the bench?

Second-team QB Stephen Warren made his first start of the season.

We had 17 special team points taken off the board...

--A long FG due to an offsides penalty

--A blocked punt that got booted out of the end zone and preserved TU with a touchback.

--Another punt return for a TD recalled due to a penalty.

TU had a FG nullified by a penalty.

As for complimenting the broadcasters, you gotta be careful because that Edwards guy, the old man on the broadcast, will let it go to his head and then he has to be brought back to earth by his lovely bride!

Ralph,

I am in no way denying McMurry was not their usual force without Mullin, but Stephen Warren is no trash QB. (Transfer from D2 Valdosta State) Trinity's secondary was absolutely staunch in their coverage downfield, giving nothing to Warren. Except for one play in the 3rd quarter there was almost no blown coverage. McMurry's secondary played just as brilliantly.

You cannot justify the 3 points due to the long field goal as the kick was never made, and the blocked punt was not "taken off the board," since it was the hustle by the Trinity specialists that caused the fumble into the end zone. The only play truly questionable was the first punt TD return. The block in the back call was indeed iffy...

Overall it was a great game, but in my opinion Trinity's blunders were more costly than McMurry's. Even without Mullin, McMurry is still an offensive force to be reckoned with and the defense played great
