FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Ron Boerger]

DePauw gets a big first down near midfield on a fourth-and-one, still trailing 21-13 around seven minutes to play.

... and another when Spud Dick's pass is complete to Bryan Mulligan for 5 yards on a fourth and three.  DPU now inside the Wabash 20.

[Ron Boerger]

With 3:37 left, Spud Dick's pass to Jeremiah Marks  is good for eight yards and a touchdown; the Tigers go for two and Dick finds Alex Coors to tie the game at 21.

Rhodes gets a short FG on an extended opening drive of the second half and now lead 12-6 with 5:47 left in the third.

[Ron Boerger]

With 1:30 left, Wabash goes for it facing a fourth and five from the DePauw 35, Hudson's pass is intercepted by DPU's Pruitt inside the DPU 5.

AC recovers an onside kick to start the second half in Sherman.

[Ron Boerger]

Depauw drives from their 4 to the Wabash 29, Jordan Havercamp hits a 47 yard field goal attempt as time expires, DPU WINS 24-21!!! CONGRATS TIGERS!!

Spud Dick:  23-35 300 yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT.
Jeremiah Marks:  45 rushes, 181 yards; 7 receptions, 97 yds, 2 TDs.
Bryan Mulligan, 15 receptions, 145 yds, 1 TD.

AC stalls out at the Trinity 25 after recovering the onside kick.  A big double reverse gains about 50 and then Baer scores from 9 yds out.  XP no good after a poor snap, Trinity 34, AC 6.

Still 12-6 in Memphis.

AC fumbles on their next drive - Trinity recovers.  Several plays later Matt Morefield scores off the option pitch from 11 yards out, Trinity leads 41-6 with 3:37 to play in the third.  TU video feed off the air but the AC announcers are doing their usual fine job.

[Ron Boerger]

Blake Mears scores from nine yards out, PAT is good this time, and Sewanee takes a 13-12 lead over Rhodes with 4:55 to play.

[Ron Boerger]

Kent Bell finds Eric Shon on a corner route from 23 yards out.  Trinity 41, AC 13 with 12:14 to play.  Nice extended drive by the 'Roos, 16 plays, 70 yards, 6:15 off the clock.

Rhodes gets a short Catalanatto FG to take a 15-13 lead with 40 seconds to play.   An interception by Valentine inside the Rhodes 20 seals the win for the Lynx.

Centre wins today, 45-31.  Colorado College outgained the Colonels 466-360 but five turnovers ruined the day for the visitors.

Coaches put everyone and their uncle in the game in Sherman - Trinity clinches the SCAC's playoff bid with a 41-13 win.  Good luck to the Majors tomorrow as the SCAC (and Millsaps) seeks its first-ever Pool C bid.   Millsaps won 58-7.

I told you guys that the Rhodes game would be closer than people thought. It's never an easy game, and the rivalry is always strong. Glad to see that we came out with the win.

Impressive win by millsaps today. wow. good luck to them tomorrow.

I hope it's enough... With all due respect to MC and Trinity, It'd be an absolute shame if Millsaps is kept out because of an asterisk loss and a miracle play. All bias aside, Millsaps is one of the best teams in the south and could easily be 10-0. I don't doubt for a minute that this is a top15 caliber team or better, and definately one of the south's finest. If their season is indeed over, then Millsaps will probably be the best team in the nation sitting at home. It's up in the air, but if Millsaps does get in.. watch out.

just a kid

i hope Millsaps can get in also... i understnd  your reference to miracle play... it was a great one of a kind play

... but i looked up the schedules and results... and did not see an asterisk loss to MC (27-26).... just a loss ... no spin on a loss

still... it would b a shame if they did not make it... as i pull for all southern teams... including those from mississippi

keep the faith

1.  Trinity never gave up, Millsaps did.

2.  MC came back and won regardless of which stringers Coach had in the game. 


Missing the playoffs would be a shame, but they just have to look themselves in the mirror collectively and accept the blame.

Tex --- Just exactly who gave up ,"collectively"? Would like an answer on that one.

In fact would love to personally invite you to Jackson on my nickel, assmeble the 120 young men on the team, let you watch and review the entire game film with them, and then have you specifically point out the "collective group / team" that gave up.

Then, if your up to it, we would love for you to share your wonderful / experienced insight and advice on how to be better man and football players and how to never give up.  Email or call me and I will make arrangements with Coach Dubose and send you a airline ticket and a stipend or per diem for your out of pocket travel expenses and your professional time. Bring the kids and get a few more college visits in east of the Mississippi,(not Millsaps). There is life over here.

You really don't have a clue do you?

After Carl substantially changed his prior post, mine makes no sense, so I have to edit it as well.

Just a comment about what Tex and others have said about that last play in the Trinity vs. Millsaps game.  This crap about "Trinity never gave up, Millsaps did" is a bunch of BS and I invite anyone who believes that to go back and look at the tape more carefully.  There may have been a split second of confusion where a couple of players thought the play had ended, and there may have been a few players who simply ran out of gas on a play that lasted about 6-10 time longer than a typical play.  Before you say a particular player "gave up", go back on the video and trace just how much effort that particular player expended on the entire play.  

And yes, I know that Coach DuBose of Millsaps said that some of the Millsaps players quit on the play--a comment that I think reflected the emotions of the moment and not the reality of what actually happened on the field.  I think he may have had second thoughts about that comment after seeing the play on film, but regardless of what he thought later, I still invite Tex and everyone else to go back and look at the final play more carefully.  The reality of the last play is that both teams played hard and to use the words of everyone from Trinity, a "miracle" happened with a bunch of 50-50 things going the right way which resulted in a touchdown.

I had a grandmother, an aunt, and my brother all went to DePauw.  I was accepted at DePauw, but decided to attend another school.  I still follow the Monon Bell game, and I was pumped to see the Tigers beat Wabash.  Sportscenter made it even better.  Congrats Tigers!  Hopefully my St. Olaf Oles and the DePauw Tigers can keep knocking off these dumb jock schools like Wabash and St. John's.

Thanks Frank --- As noted above, I not only invite you to do what Frank said, but really, come on over  to Jackson on my nickel and meet with the team and straighten us out Tex.  Consider it an open invitation!!!
