On a side note, the player selected went 27-for-42 ... and then ANOTHER 10-for-11 on top of that.

That's funny as hell.

I'm thinking a lot of players will get defensive player of the week against AC this year of our QB continues to shortarm his throws.  He must have under thrown well over half of his passes vs Centre and you could see that last INT that iced it for Centre coming a mile away b/c he stared down his WR so badly.  Even the one just before the final INT (why were we passing once we got down there???) was only caught b/c Coachman made in incredible adjustment to the severely underthrown ball.  Had Braly gotten anything under it, Coachman had a sure TD.  Happened on an earlier INT deep in Centre territory as well.  Dunno if he just has a weak arm, bad mechanics or if he has hurt himself with all the running we do but AC is gonna have a tough time late in games if they are down b/c we simply cant throw the ball downfield and even the short throws seem to all be too low to run after the catch.  Their D seems to have taken a slight step back this year as well which is dissapointing.  Teams that run bubble screens should be able to eat us up. 

watching them play a couple games i now feel we may be lucky to get to 5-5 and will have to fight jsut to repeat 4-6.

If we're looking at that angle, then Juan threw ANOTHER three TDs on top of the QB selected...

Well, f we're looking at that angle, Juan did that against a crummy Rhodes team, while young Mr. Berg achieved his successes against a darned fine St. Olaf group.

First time post, but I could not resist...

From NCAA stats.....

Rhodes ranks 67th nationally in pass defense and 9th in total defense (#1 in the SCAC)

St. Olaf ranks 170th in pass defense and 49th in total defense.

I'm just sayin'.....

Because Rhodes played Louisiana College and Birmingham-Southern and St. Olaf played Luther, Pacific Lutheran and a six-overtime game against St. Thomas.

In all honesty, I'm not blown away by the action of the touchdown pass specifically. If the offensive coordinator chooses to run in the red zone and the team still scores, the quarterback has clearly done his job just fine.

I don't think that it would be fair to call Rohdes a crummy team this early in the season.  From what I understand Louisiana College is much better this year than they have been in past seasons, and it is not like Millsaps is climbing its way to the top undeservedly, Rhodes may have dropped two out of the first three, and probably will lose to Washington U next week, but the second you write Rhodes off as crummy they come back and shake up the SCAC.  I know from personal experience they almost cost us a SCAC title my senior year, the closest team out of any.
Oh and Austin College fan who said that they are doomed to a bad season, give it some time ya'll are just 7 points from being 3-1 rather than 1-3.  I believe that next week will bring a win, and who knows winning might spread like a wildfire throughout the season.
I can't wait for this weekend in SCAC play, it seems like all matches are going to be pretty even, with maybe one exception, I think TU may be quite a bit better than its opponent, but I have been proven wrong before.  Hopefully my Majors can keep up the 40 point range, and maybe continue its climb to the top.  The higher both Trinity and Millsaps climbs this year the better the chance of two SCAC playoff teams, and who knows, Depauw maybe could peek their heads in there if their only losses are to two highly ranked teams.  Maybe I am just dreaming, two will definitely suffice for now, does anyone know when the last time the SCAC had two playoff teams was?

Thanks Ralph.

I been following for a couple of years now and have been following the Majors with great interest.

I could have sworn that Pat said that BSC dominated Rhodes, but he either edited his post or it's the wine 

I'm in Austin, TX and look forward to making the trek down to San Antonio on Nov. 1st. Hopefully Millsaps will not slip up before then.

The SCAC has never had two playoff teams.

Regarding the quarterback of the week discussion, I'm reminded of the numerous posts earlier this year regarding who should be the SCAC Men's basketball player of the year.  The conversation ultimately narrowed down to 3 players from 3 very good teams and a good case could be made for all.  Most folks agreed that no matter who you picked for the POTY, there were going to be 2 guys left out who certainly had the credentials for that honor (as Edrick Montgomery proved by going on to be named 2nd team AA after failing to win the SCAC POTY award).

I don't know the exact number, but obviously there were over 100 winning quarterbacks last week and I'm sure a pretty good case could be made for several as the TOTW pick.  And while I certainly think Juan had the kind of numbers that could have won the award on certain weeks during the season, it is hard to argue against the stats put up by Jordan Berg in a closer game (Berg completed 37 of 53 passes for 397 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, leading the Auggie offense to touchdowns on its first five drives to build a 35-14 halftime lead, en route to a 49-21 win over St. Olaf.). 

That's not to take away from Juan Joseph's outstanding game.  It's just pointing out that not all outstanding performances can be crammed onto the TOTW.  For example, Desmond Mays of MS College rushed for 4 TDs and almost 200 yards in the upset bid against HSU.  It was an effort worthy of the ASC Offensive Player of the Week but he wasn't on the D3 TOTW, losing out to two other outstanding efforts.

The bottom line right now is that Juan Joseph will get plenty of recognition at season's end if he can lead Millsaps into the playoffs with a 10-0 record and one big test comes this week, and it comes against another outstanding quarterback.  It should be a great game to watch and I hope that some fans around the country will tune into the Millsaps webcast, including the DePauw fans who will be most likely listening to the DePauw radio broadcast.
