That's where I've bene getting my updates.   It's crunch time for us now.

[awadelewis]

Nice play by the DePauw defense to cause a loss on 3rd down.   4th and 3 for Sewanee with 0:56 left.

[awadelewis]

Incomplete pass on the swing pass on 4th down.   DePauw ball.

[awadelewis]

Final from the Mountain: DePauw 14, Sewanee 10.

Good golly.  Turns out that #31 kid is kinda valuable.  Better take that win and run. 

Never know about the mountain, do ya?  It's got some kind of magical powers or something.

Underway in San Antonio ... Trinity intercepts a third-down Colorado College pass, return to the 10, first play from scrimmage Barmore finds Riley Curry on a fade for six.  Trinity leads 7-0 with one minute gone in the game.

Ron,

Did you hear any word on Joseph?  I have not been able to tune into the game until now.

Just a very brief reference saying "you don't know when Juan will be back" and that the injury's a bruise. 

Rom -

Juan has a nagging thigh contusion. He could have played today but the staff decided to rest him. I just spoke to him at the post game party over at the Cabot and he said he would definitely be on the field next week at Depaux..

Bert P brings is a very strong back-up for Juan and would be a fine starter if he wasn'y behind Juan.

I understand that Bert really didn't take alot f extra snaps this week and only was given a heads up he may start at the walk through yesterday.

In regard to the game --- the defense was relentless and the offense held it's own.

Looking forward to the trip up to Indiana next week. Will be a key game.

Down here in Jackson, things are pretty good for now.

The team seems very focused and business like which is what it will take to be prepared for Depaux.

FYI

Big C

Thanks for the report on Juan...

It is good to have a capable back-up QB.

No offense Big C, but DePaux is faux!   

[Ron Boerger]

Colorado College comes right back, drives about 60 yards but have to settle for a 28-yd field goal.  7-3, 9:02 left in first.

No offense Big C, but DePaux is faux!   

Sorry, Ralph, but from what I have seen in the ASC this year DePauw would be competitive with anyone not named Mary Hardin-Baylor. 

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity has two great plays (including a TD) called back with holding penalties, then Barmore throws two passes that easily could have been intercepted so the home team settles for a 32-yard Liscali field goal.   10-3 TU with 4:58 left in the first quarter.

I was actually talking about the spelling of "DePaux", unless I am missing an inside joke!   

As for the competitiveness of the ASC, it is looking interesting.  I agree that the SCAC and the ASC are very competitive.  The 9-game ASC schedule and AC's leaving the ASC have permitted more inter-conference play this year.

[Ron Boerger]

Colorado has another nice drive, converting a fourth-and-ten at the 33.  They reach the Trinity 8 before the TU defense pushes them back to the 15.  Max Green hits a 32-yard FG to bring Colorado to within 10-6 with 10:21 left in the first half. 

CC runs an interesting offense, basically a no-huddle with three and four-wide sets (but then get their play from the sidelines).  Lots of misdirection and it's giving the TU defense fits so far.  Colorado has already gained 138 yards to Trinity's 85.

[Ron Boerger]

Trinity responds with a 13-play, 65 yard drive capped by a 14-yard pass from Barmore to Caleb Urban.  It's 17-6 Trinity with 5:09 left in the half.

[Ron Boerger]

CC has a third and two at the Trinity 19 but a huge sack by Dylan Nealous pushes Colorado out of field goal range and they can't convert on fourth down.  Starting at their own 33 with 1:15 left, Barmore leads the team on a eight play, 67 yard drive and with five seconds left finds a wide open Shawn Thompson on a slant for 23 yards to put Trinity up 24-6 at the half. 

Thompson has been open all day (you have to love web video) and at the half has seven catches for 85 yards.  Matt Morefield has had a little running room with 46 yards rushing.  Colorado College is led by Ross Alisiani's 40 yards on five receptions, and QB Jon McDonald has 46 yards on 12 rushes despite being sacked twice.  McDonald is 13-22 for 79 yards with one interception; Barmore after a slow first quarter is 14-23 for 159 yards and three touchdowns.

And now I have to take my lovely wife to dinner so someone else will have to do the updates.  The live video is available from the TU football page (click on "Video").   You'll get to hear historymajor on color commentary, too.

Anyone else have trouble with this video? It never gets beyond the negotiating stage on Quick Time for me.
