Huntingdon gets a sloppy 45-13 win today. Didn't think it was ever going to get over with. Definitely a flag happy bunch of refs today. The two teams combined for 28 penalties for 336 yards. They finally put the flags away for the 4th quarter when we emptied the bench so that quarter moved along pretty well. Good to see everyone get to play though. HC getting awful thin at RB with a couple guys getting dinged up today. Played most of the 4th qtr with 4th string TE at FB and a WR at TB.

One of the best road performances from Trinity in quite some while.  Good job by Jacob Cannon putting the last couple of weeks behind him.  Dustin Allen continues to be a monster on defense.  Second time in three weeks the defense has held the opponent around 60 yards total in the second half ... making good halftime adjustments, way to go coaching staff.

BfB,,, I agree that the TU performance at Rhodes was a good one, but what is puzzling is that they still don't seem to have 'hit their stride'...  They still haven't hit on all cylinders... even when they are out of sync they seem to find ways to win.  The Black Flag has been the constant.  Holding teams like Rhodes to 6 points on two FG's is huge.  When the Tigers fire on all cylinders, I think they're capable of hanging 55 points on people and holding them to 10 or less...  That's something to look forward to,,, heading into November!

The Rhodes Offense was nothing to write home about, from what I have heard.  But still, great job by the Black Flag.  The front four on defense had a monster day.  Keep it up Tigers!

Regarding Trinity's offense, I didn't expect them to put up that many points on a solid Rhodes defense.  Steinert and Brunner were all over the place from what I heard on the radio.  I think the OL's wore them down like they did to Centre last week.  Sounds like the offense is starting to come together.  Scoring 40 points a game is no indication of getting an offense on track, historymajor - see '03 and '04 for examples.

Re the Rhodes offense struggling this year - Mr. Swanstrom is a pretty hard guy to replace. 

Re the Rhodes defense - six sacks on the day.  I can't remember the last time a Trinity team gave up that many sacks.  Certainly not this year - had only allowed seven TOTAL before Rhodes. 

Congrats to Jacob Cannon and Donny Palmertree, named SCAC PoTYs for their performances last weekend.   

Interesting Trinity stat:  so far this year, outscored opponents 56-0 in the third quarter.

Thanks

It's not all Swanstrom being gone...that offense has flaws in it, and it didn't help that their starting QB is still hurt.  That defense was the real deal, from what some of the guys told me.  Getting 5 sacks against the Tigers OL's is a pretty amazing accomplishment.  But, from what I've heard, Cannon held on to the ball too long on at least 2 of those sacks.  Still, it's a good sign that the Tiger offense moved the ball all over a solid D like Rhodes'.  Here's hoping they can keep it up against an improving Sewanee team.

Ahhhh,  cool mountain air,,,, leaves turning brilliant fall colors, and the Trinity Tigers matched up against the Sewanee Tigers... now that's fall football at it's best!

My prediction is TU rolling to 8-0 ,,,,  TU 34 - UoS 17

[evacuee]

If Coach Mohr is driving the bus, I predict uh....

TU 74
Sewanee zip

I predict the same for the Bears and whomever they are playing this weekend

[tTU719803]

How about the Trinity Tigers vs. a hurricane...but the hurricane's name is "Steve."

historymajor;

Make sure we get to see some fall leaves when you post those pictures this weekend!!  Still too green in South Texas!  Must be nice to visit Tennessee this time of year.  Y'all enjoy, y'hear?

Yell for those Tigers, for us, will you?  Bring back another "W".
Git 'r done, men.

DePauw is ranked tenth in the latest regional rankings.  Trinity is still #1, UMHB #3, HSU dropped a place to #7, and bewilderingly Ferrum is still #2.
