FB: Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference

FUNNY.

I'll be at the game. Purcell came up short against Da Park 14-9. Lots of TO's and Purcell not being able to put the ball in the endzone in the 1st quarter hurt them. They settled for 3 and had to go for two at the end of the game.

Any updates on FC, Wabash game?

Wabash 14
Franklin 10

In the rain, second quarter.

WABASH 21
FRANKLIN 10

51 pass from Huff to Banach; 86 yd drive... 3 passing TDs for Huff

Hartsfield had 75 yd TD for Griz.  3 minutes left in 1st half.

[cave2bens]

Phantom interference call, and a supposed, juggling act in the endzone...can only go with the commentators are saying...

Franklin scores a touchdown near the end of the half w/ 15 seconds.  W 21, Griz 17 (?)

2 seconds to go - Wabash has ball at midfield;
Rode tackled before ball got to him at 2 yd line - no freakin' flag.  Bull ^&*

Any word on any other HCAC action?

[cave2bens]

Haven't seen any posts for games in Richmond or Madison.  Think rest are scheduled for evening.  Bash scored right out of locker room, and just got ball back again with 11:43 left in 3rd.  Bash 28, Franklin 17

[cave2bens]

Griz has strong 83 yd drive that ends in FG.  Wabash turns around, drives 63 yds in two plays.  Huff has 4th TD to Guerro - Wabash 35 and Franklin 20.

How much time is left in the game?

[cave2bens]

12:48 left in 4th.  Franklin has ball on "Bash 39

[cave2bens]

Franklin drives the ball in from the 44 - Rupp to Gorrell.  35-27, and roughing the passer penalty doesn't help Wabash.  10+ minutes left

Sounds like FC has the same problem as the FC teams in the past...DEFENSE.

I'm currently watching the Michigan game and The Ducks just ran the swinging gate for the 2pt conversion and lead 11-7. Michigan just fumbled deep in their own territory. Things keep going like this, I'd expect Lloyd's resignation Monday morning.

Ohio State's offense struggled but the defense pitched a shutout. Looks like they are going back to tressel ball. I know they haven't played anyone, bu their D looks tough.

I'll get back to y'all after I get back from the MSJ game.

[cave2bens]

Franklin scores; 2 pt conversion missed.  Wabash 35, Franklin 33.  24 seconds left.

Wabash recovers on-side kick, and Dustin Huff injured on the play.  He's finally up, but being assisted from the field (ankle).  Hudson in at QB.  Combined offense over 1000 yds.  "Hands" are one thing, but a star QB (27-44, 4 TDs, 477 yards) on suicide squad?

Wabash takes the knees.  Downside is not beating the spread on NCAC board, and whether Huff is a longterm loss for a short term win.

Great game by both teams, and congrats to Franklin.

Congrats to Franklin. You guys played a great game and showed a ton of heart coming back. Rupp is a beast and you guys have a great year ahead of you. I hope we can meet again in the playoffs. Good luck Grizzlies.

i am just glad the days of grizzly losses met with laughter and beer are now gone. losses these days involve a dark room, a game tape, beer, and a lot of self reflection.

wabash, heck of a team. played great. we'll be back next week and get this ship in the right direction again. i know we are all personally hoping to see you in the playoffs.

lick your wounds, find out how you can do better, and get back out there.
