FB: Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference

[Ron Boerger]

Quite a disappointing loss for TU.  Went to KY with a severe hangover and didn't get it done. 

They dominated the first half - except the final 90 seconds and things went downhill from there.   Actually outgained Centre 470-379 but lost the turnover battle.    

When you roll up nearly 500 yards there should be more than 17 points on the board.

Major Dad, how did the 2nd half go besides what I can see from the score.  I had to step out.  Any big injuries?  How long to the starters play in the 2nd half?

Congratulations to Centre but there's no joy from this Millsaps fan that Trinity lost.  From a Millsaps perspective, it was better for Trinity to stay as a ranked team.  From an SCAC perspective, I would have like seeing two teams get into the NCAA Playoffs.

Here's a link to the Millsaps-Colorado box score.  It's a rarity to see Millsaps with more rushing yards than passing.  Joseph was 20 of 25 for 222 yards and 3 TD's, and Millsaps rushed 27 times for 227 yards.

exmajor, we started substituting mid way through the 3rd qtr. We continued to score, no injuries. We knelt on the ball at the COL 5yd line to end the game.....

Wow, thats a first......Yes our OWP took a hit with the Trinity loss. I too would have liked them to have won in that respect. South region had # 7,8 and 9 lose today.....

I believe that the OWP is a wash because Centre, your conference opponent, won.

McMurry's and TLU's OWP's took a hit and in turn, UMHB's and HSU's OOWP took a hit.

[MajorDad]

Yeah thats true. Surprised at the Huntingdon loss.....

BSC may be putting it together, tho'.

Here's where I'm a little shaky on the selection process.  I thought it was a plus to have a win over a regionally ranked opponent.  I'm not sure that Millsaps will have a win over a regionally ranked opponent after the Trinity loss at Centre.

Yes, Trinity may fall out of the Regional rankings.

That makes me think that Millsaps may fall to #2 in South behind Muhlenberg and then would catch the (#7) Huntingdon/LaGrange Pool B.

I think that Millsaps was Northwestern MN to lose to St Thomas next Saturday in the Pool B process.

I dread that HSU may go to UMHB in the first round.

Congratulations on a great opening to BSC's new stadium.  I've got no affiliation to the school but went over to check out the game and was really impressed with the pre-game atmosphere and facilities.  Nice job BSC!

[Ralph Turner]

Welcome hokie!

Always glad to have new posters on the board!

Got my first (and only) live look at the Old Gold this afternoon.  Got THIS Saturday off - of course - can't get next week.  

I tell you, as good as Spud Dick is as a a passer - and I do think he's really great - I think the the majority of the credit for his success must go to O.C. Dustin Ward.  Spud was 32-38 throwing the football today.  Of those 32 completions, I'd say that no more than 6 or 7 were throws of more than 10 yards.  Lots of curls and slants and digs making for some very, very easy throws.  Even the big plays were short throws and some good downfield blocking.  Yeah, they threw a couple of fades, but not many.  Spud is just so darned patient and incredibly accurate with those short throws.  He just doesn't make mistakes because he doesn't have a lot of hard throws to make in this system.  Excellent route combinations make for safe, catchable throws.  Frankly, they made it look like a 7 on 7 drill today against a VERY good Rhodes D.

They'll need that next week.  Have to dink and dunk you're way down the field, I believe.  Ball control offense is the best defense against the LG's.

Also, thought the defense played very well today, but I don't know exactly how much of that was the 11 in the black jerseys and/or how much of that was just down right ineptness by the Lynx offense.  That group just isn't very good.  Missed blocks, inaccurate throws, drops, turnovers.  Not pretty.
