FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

Trinity turns over close to the goal line, but no harm done as D holds.  Trinity driving again just over mid-field.

And I just lost the feed again.

Millsaps and Centre are trading TDs in the 4th quarter with the score now 46-20.  Last TD was from QB Chris Graves to Daniel Whitmore.  Game had 2 minutes to go after the Millsaps kickoff.  

I'm not so sure that the coaches will be real pleased with this game--it seemed a little ragged on both sides of the ball and there were a couple of missed PAT's.

Feed restored:  about 7 minutes left in the game, TU with the ball facing 4 and about 4 from about the +24.  Score remains 17-0. TU goes for it on 4th and converts!

Millsaps wins it 46-26, a sloppy game it appears.  As Frank said, I am sure the coaches are not happy with this one.  Millsaps never seems to play well in Danville.  Hopefully they can watch the tape and learn from this one and be ready for Sewanee in Jackson next weekend.

Less than 30 seconds to play, TU intercepts the ball at about mid-field to secure the win and TU's second shut out of the year.

Great job with the updates today, thanks everyone.   +1s to all!

Trinity defense played its best game of the year so far.  Very very good.   Four complete quarters of football for the D.   Hot day in San Antonio.  TU dominated the game and probably should have scored another 17.  Rhodes has a lot of speed on defense.  They tackle extremely well in open space.  Their defense will likely keep them in games.

Agreed on all counts, Tex.  Trinity Black Flag really got after it, especially when the offense sputtered and they needed a stop.  TU offense put up numbers consistent with earlier games this season, but with fewer points on the scoreboard resulting.  Rhodes defenders got to the ball quickly and hit hard when they arrived, even into the fourth quarter.  Gotta give them credit for a hard-fought game ... they will win a few before it's over.

Congrats to the Trinity Tigers for another "W" ... keep it rolling, men.

Kudos on the new SCAC website.  I'm looking forward to a few of the new features that are waiting to be implemented.  Good stuff.

Congrats on Trinity moving up a notch in the polls. Millsaps stays steady at #12. I was hoping they would jump the idle #10, but I guess not, just no room. Nov. 1 shaping up to be a doozy......

[TigerDad]

If Trinity and Millsaps can stay on track this month, November 1st will be a good one indeed.

First, it's the "Battle of the Tigers", parts 2 and 3 for Trinity ... gotta beat DePauw, then Sewanee next week ... then we can talk about the Majors.

The Black Flag is looking good ... championships start with "D", I think.

TCB, men.

The new AFCA poll is out and Millsaps up to #10  and Trinity is tied at 11th.  Depauw is still receiving votes.  Check out the complete poll with the link.

Someone even gave DPU a vote in this week's D3football.com poll.

Just out of curiosity, any ETA on the new Team of the Week?
