FB: CCIW in-game updates

They were 50% versus Albion and 40% vs Platteville.  So it is marginally lower than where they've been recently.

1 for 11, though, is not gonna get it done.

Agreed. This is where Peterson's loss was most acutely felt. He was very good this year on 3rd down. And a major reason why Bethel was one of the nations leaders in 3rd down conversions.

Early scores on opening day:

Wheaton 17, Coe 0, 11:00 2nd

Millikin 24, Greenville 3, 10:00 2nd

I can't get the two Stretch Internet games (Franklin @ Illinois Wesleyan and Elmhurst @ Loras) to load.

[Gregory Sager]

Millikin's now ahead of Greenville, 31-3, with plenty of time left in the second quarter. It looks like the Big Blue are not missing Stunning Sean Dunning's presence today.

Millikin 38, Greenville 3, 8;00 2nd

Illinois Wesleyan 14, Franklin 7, 13:38 2nd

Wheaton 24, Coe 0, 2:47 2nd

Artie Checchin is good at football.  After Franklin drives for their second score to make it 21-14 Titans, Checchin returns the kickoff 100 yards for an answer score to go along with several big receptions.  28-14 Titans, late 2nd.  Titan D has forced a couple turnovers, but on the 2 scoring drives from Franklin, I feel like I'm watching the old Tampa 2 where we are getting picked apart over and over again just behind the backers but in front of the safeties. 

[Gregory Sager]

St. Norbert @ Carthage just underway. No score.

Illinois Wesleyan 21, Franklin 14, 6:46 2nd

[devildog29]

Turnover on a botched punt by Titans and Franklin picks it up for 6.  28-21 Titans with 5ish left in the first half.

[Gregory Sager]

Wheaton 31, Coe 0, half

Carthage 7, St. Norbert 0 1st

Millikin 45, Greenville 10, 2:00 2nd

Still no Elmhurst @ Loras score.

[Titan Q]

Half in Bloomington:

IWU 35
Franklin 21


IWU freshman QB Jack Warner has run for a TD and thrown for 2 in his first half of collegiate football.  He looks good.

[devildog29]

Titans answer with a scoring drive.  The freshman looks pretty good so far.  35-21 at the half.

Loras 25 Elmhurst   17

Late in the 3rd, it's IWU 42, Franklin 28.  The big plays on the Titan scoring drive were a 49-yard pass, Warner to Chechen, and an 11-yard scamble by Warner after he was trapped in the backfield.  I don't know how they scored the TD, as stretch went dead again at the crucial time.
