And I should also add the injury to #10 was really unfortunate and something I hated to witness.  Hope he is ok.  Injuries to the receivers have hit hard this season.  #10 is one of our best.  Losing him for any length of time will hurt.

I think that makes 3 knee injuries so far this year.  2 non-contact.

Get well soon to each one.

Very, very nice win for Berry on Saturday.  I was able to attend, so my few thoughts:

1.  Hendrix is quite good.  Their offense is a bit of a one trick pony, but wow the pony, #5, has some impressive tricks.
2.  Berry's #12 Kinsey is a stud.  Quite a game.
3.  Our defense did a great job keeping Hendrix out of the end zone and pressuring the QB.  Sacks were big.  D looks solid.
4.  Our special teams were special.  Blocked field goal, 2 for 2 on our field goals including I think one of record breaking length.  Kick off returned for a touchdown.  Any of these things will win you a game...
5.  Only complaint is with the conference scheduling gurus.  We get no home game on Mountain Day (homecoming) and then get to play the latest "game of the year" while all of the students are gone for fall break.  Boo to someone.
6.  Up to # 7 is really amazing.  Coaches have this thing rolling.

Hendrix is a much better team than last season.  They are a good team.  I was surprised to se the Berry D hold their running game down.   Plus the sacks,  I think the lack of running forced Hendrix into some passing situations that helped the defense dial up the pressure.  Hendrix did make plays, but always made a mistake or Berry made a play in the red-zone.  Holding them to 3 FGs in 4 possible scoring situations was huge.

Conference scheduling is always tough, I talked with Coach K before the season started about this schedule change.  His biggest desire was the alternating travel, H/A schedule.  He was willing to give up a few things to make that happen.  Last season with 3 long trips in a row was tough on the team.  In fact I think he said the SAA asked the schools to submit scheduling models.  One of the Business department Operation Research professors submitted the models for Berry and I believe that is the model they choose to use.

Another thing, the freshman QB #2 looks like he's going to be pretty special player.  He has a good touch on the ball and has good strength in all the passes I have seen him attempt.

Thanks for the scheduling insight.  Interesting information.  Yes, #2 is a very good freshman QB.  Tough, talented kid.  We are watching the future when we see him play.

Was thinking earlier ... the Hendrix /  Trinity game in a few weeks will be a good one.  I think its in Arkansas.

Interesting strategy from AC on Saturday. Hold the ball for the last 11 minutes of the game. Don't score and maintain possession. I'm sure it was unintentional but it was at least successful.

It was a really crazy drive. Drove all the way down to the 3, but then penalties pushed them all the way back to the 46... meaning there was a 3rd and goal from the 46 (one of the penalties was offensive pass interference on a touchdown catch). And then they drew a defensive PI on that 3rd and goal from the 46, so they got a fresh set of downs and were able to just run the clock out at that point.

(False start, procedure, offensive PI, a 13 yard sack, and then a delay of game, if you're keeping score at home, is how they went backward 43 yards)

 I hope the statistician was using a pencil during that drive. lol

I've seen plenty of crazy things, but I can't remember 3rd and goal from the 46,  wow

Oklahoma had that happen recently against Kansas.

1st & goal from the 7: Holding
1st & goal from the 17: Loss of 8
2nd & goal from the 25: Loss of 23
3rd & goal from the 48: Gain of 19; 15-yard penalty after the play
4th & goal from the 44: Punt downed at the 2

The absurdity didn't stop there. After a three-and-out, good punt return, and face mask, OU actually started the next drive with 1st & goal. This time they scored immediately. And by the way, this sequence started with 2:17 left until halftime and OU scored with 0:31 left.

that's an emotional rollercoaster for both sides.

Those look pretty standard.

could be he's attempting to suggest these type of weeks are the kind of weeks when an upset happens, not that he has one on his predictions.

SAA posted this article on B-SC WR Ivan Villageois:  https://www.saa-sports.com/sports/fball/2019-20/releases/20191016lwltr5.   

We'll see if B-SC can give Berry any sort of challenge, but I suspect the Vikings are going to cruise through the rest of the regular season.
