And it looks like the video from TLU has decided to match the live stats and quit working. Guess it's a good time for a shower.

Haven't had the live stats work for me all day. The video has been pretty good for me minus a few breaks or two. Horn throws his 5th TD - now 11 on the year. Did Trinity really just call a timeout on the PAT though to avoid a mere 5 yard penalty? I know its a blowout, but seems odd to use a timeout in that situation. 38-7 Trinity 5 mins left in 3rd

Westminster (MO) 30 - Sewanee 9 4:38 remaining in the 3Q

Westminster gets two scores to start the 2nd half, with the second coming on a Sewanee fumble inside our 20-yd line.

Sounds like UW-W pretty much showed Berry that they have room for improvement with a final of 39-7.

Horn's day is done. Backups now in for Trinity across the offense, and they just scored to make it 51-7 Trinity.

[edited because I cursed the kicker and assumed the PAT. Typical]

Sewanee's defense takes inspiration from the offense and recovers a Westminster (MO) fumble. Tigers get burnt by the rain, but storm back in the 4Q to storm back from being down 3 TDs to pull within a point : Westminster 30, Sewanee 29, 7:55 4Q

Finals

SAGU 38, Millsaps 21
Trinity 51, TLU 14 after Trinity's backup punt returner lost a fumble and gave TLU a short field
BSC leads ABC 55-6 with 8 minutes to go
Westminster has a big 4th and 1 at the Sewanee 41, take a delay so looks like Tigers will get it back

We get the ball back and then do a 3 and out with 4:40 in the 4Q. Still Westminister (MO) 30, Sewanee 29.

awadelewis · September 18, 2021, 04:53:04 PM

Well... Westminister (MO) gets the ball back and fumbles the punt at their 24. Let's see what we can do.

Crud... FG attempt with 0:13 seconds goes wide right. Final score: Westminister (MO) 30, Sewanee 29.

Ouch ... Howard Payne putting the hurt on Hendrix, 55-7 in the third.

Berry falls out of the latest top 25 but still gets 34 votes after their 39-7 drubbing from UWW. Trinity up to 7 votes. BSC also gets 16.

I honestly think BSC should be ranked.

Unfortunately the SAA haven't played anyone ranked (and won, LOL) in preseason so it's going to be tough to get in the top 25 now that conference play is about to get underway. A win against a junior college program that jumped up to four-year this season and lost 71-0 the previous week and doesn't have a functioning sports information department doesn't register on the voters' radar. The other two wins against Region 3 teams that have one win between them in the young season doesn't do much either, but they'll add up as the season goes on. If Birmingham-Southern (or Centre [who had 12 points this week], or Trinity, or Berry) keeps winning, they'll get in there.

Giving Berry's Coach K credit for scheduling with the big boys. You can't beat them if you don't play them.

Obviously still work to do to compete at the top of D3.

Playing ABC this weekend, that game was picked up late. BSC was supposed to play a team out of Virginia, but some how that game didn't work out, so we were stuck finding someone late to get our schedule up to 10 games. Arkansas Baptist is 1-3 now, so they do have a win, though it was over a JuCo program. But the guys did go on the road, and took care of business, so not much you can complain about with that.

BSC did have a big win at Huntingdon, who the week before hosted #9 Wis-Oshkosh and lost by 4, we went into their house and won 48-9, so that has to be worth something. We do have teams in conference that are also receiving votes, so we have our chances to make some noise. Would like to get deep into the polls, that way if we were to not win the conference, maybe we can pull an at large bid into the playoffs.
