FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Tex]

Anyone here notice the stat sheet from TU/McM the other night?  There was some brief talk about how Milsaps was going to run a more balanced attack this year.  I love balanced attacks, so I gave props to Milsaps at the time.  Guess what I saw the other night?  TU rushed for a few more yards than they passed for.  O-line dads love to see this.  I'm guessing RB dads are tickled about it as well.  Is that right Papa Baer? 

I'm not a stats hound, but I'd love to know when the last time a Trinity team rushed for more than they threw.  Maybe it happens more often that not.  I'm still the new guy around the world of D-3.

C₆H₀ again?

I'm not a stats hound, but I'd love to know when the last time a Trinity team rushed for more than they threw. 

10/7/2006 vs. Huntingdon. TU rushed for 213 on 44 carries.  Only 10-23 through the air for 147 yards for Blake Barmore.

Before that, you have to go back to 2005 vs. Centre.  TU ran it 45 times for 300 yards, and passed just 15 times for 86 yards.  An interesting note - that was the second consecutive week it occured.  The week before, against Huntingdon, they went for 189 on the ground and 164 through the air.

Once in 2004, as well, against Redlands.  Although that was mostly due to the 701 total yards.  389 rushing and 312 passing.

I gave up after that.

Good hurricane tracker.  Lots of options on the upper left.  http://www.stormpulse.com/fullscreen/current 

I wonder if the TU/TLU game will be affected?  They predict (at this point) the eye of what is left (TS probably) will be right around Seguin on Saturday afternoon/evening.

The new-style turf at Matador Stadium in Seguin should be able to handle it.  Watch out for lightning...

Tornadoes as well perhaps. I don't recall a lot of lightning when I rode out Alicia in 83 down in the Galveston area.  I do remember a lot of tornadoes, however.

Depends on where the eye of the storm goes (among other things).  If it hits around Corpus and stays south and west of SA/Seguin there will be wind and torrential downpours possible.  If, on the other hand, it veers further north so that the eye passes to the east of Seguin, it should just be mainly a wind event.

And, of course, if it goes into Brownsville and stays down there there will be very little impact.

As a result of the predicted track and timing of Hurricane Ike, many, MANY high schools in South Texas have moved their Friday night games to Thursday.  It certainly seems possible that TU @ TLU might also be changed, but I have heard nothing from either school yet.  Will report here if I do learn anything official.

Tex, yes, I think we were all very pleased to see the balanced offensive attack from the Tigers in the opener.  There's no doubt that a good mix of rushing and passing (and Trinity would seem to have skills at both) will keep the opponents honest on D.  Hope to see lots more of this as the season continues.

A special shout out to the TU O-line who were making the QB, backs and receivers look good with their fine protection and quick movement downfield.  Nobody rushes for more than 100 yards in college without ALOT of help.  And the D was looking pretty stout, too ... especially the first stringers.

Keep up the good work, Tigers.  Hope we get to see a game this week, Ike!

TigerDad, we wish you guys well as you deal with the coming storm.  After Katrina, none of us would wish it on anybody!

Thanks for the summary of the Tiger O, but what about the Tiger D?  Were you surprised to give up 18 points to McM?

Looking forward to Nov. 1, though I doubt I'll get to make the trip.  Hopefully you guys used up all your "miracle mojo" last year!

I'm guessing the high school stadium in Seguin will be hosting a high school game on Thu, hence the move to TU.  Next years' game will now be in Seguin.
