Wheaton with 4th and 6 on Elmhurst 32

[Mugsy]

Wheaton punts to Elmhurst 16 with 11 seconds left.

[Mugsy]

Wheaton intercepts Furco on desparation pass.  Game over.

Wheaton escapes with a 27-24 victory.

Not a very good first half for Wheaton, but they play a solid 2nd half and come away with a victory at a field they rarely play well.

Elmhurst will be kicking themselves at some huge mistakes in the 2nd half that cost them the game.  A missed 27 yard FG, a couple of turnovers, some key penalties.

[Mugsy]

Wonder if Wheaton has decided upon a QB - Roberts played the entire 2nd half after Meador threw a pick 6 towards the end of the first half.

[Mr. Ypsi]

IWU 13, Elmhurst 0 - 2 minutes 'til halftime.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Titans are imploding in the 3rd quarter.  Two interceptions and a fumble have led to 6pts for Elmhurst, and they currently have the ball again deep in IWU territory.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Titan lead down to 13-12 - both PAT attempts by the Jays were blocked.

[Mr. Ypsi]

TWO halftime scores:

Augie 24, Carthage 7
Wheaton 52(!), NPU 0

[Mr. Ypsi]

Titans respond - now up 20-12 with 4 remaining in the 3rd.

[Son of Tailgater]

Carthage down 30-7 in the 3rd.

Augie is dominating Carthage in total yards 468 to 213

[Mr. Ypsi]

STOP THE PRESSES!!!!

IWU just made a field goal!!!  (Their kicking game is so poor, I believe that is the first they have even attempted all year.)

Titans 23, Jays 12, early in the 4th.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Jays score a TD on 4th and 7 from the 35, then get the 2-pt conversion.

IWU 23, Elmhurst 20.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Another Titan TD makes it 30-20, about 6 minutes to go.

This would be a whole lot more comfortable if Rooney hadn't thrown FOUR picks.   The Titans have outgained the Jays by an almost 2 to 1 margin (including holding Elmhurst to TEN yards rushing.

[Mr. Ypsi]

The live stats from Kenosha seem to have died - been stuck on the same play for over half an hour.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Elmhurst scores again, misses another PAT - 30-26 with 3+ remaining.
