Not really sure how close the TU/Millsaps game will be this weekend. Mckissic got hurt last week on a blindsided sack to the point where he didn't go back into the game. The backup QB Blaschke, who at times has been good, threw 3 picks. Mckissic is a MUCH better all-around quarterback, so if Blaschke gets the start due to Mckissic's injury, we could see some shakey offense from the Tigers.

Nuts. I also saw that Tomy Boboy didn't get in last week's box. He's made a lot of plays behind the line for the Tigers, if both he and Nyk are out it might be a long day.

I hope both these guys are playing on Saturday, Ron. I think good teams want to face each other's best. Enjoy watching the game at the stadium! Wish I could be there.

Both McKissic and Boboy are on the probable startout list per today's Trinity game preview.

Looks like a rare spectacular fall afternoon in SA. I too wish I could make it down but we have a social engagement in the evening and some work on my plate that has to get done this weekend, so I'll be keeping track on-line too.

First quarter running down, Trinity has a 7-0 lead as it looks like neither McKissic or Boboy has played yet. Millsaps still seeking their initial first down.

Ron Boerger · October 27, 2012, 03:51:00 PM

14-10 Trinity at the half. The Tigers have missed two field goals (though the second was 50+ yards) and neither team has turned the ball over. After a slow start the Majors have started to (surprise) have some success throwing the ball, and have gained 104 of their 141 total yards there. Trinity has done most of their damage on the ground with QB Blaschke already over 100 yards (109 of the team's 139) on 10 carries. He's 7-9 for 53 yards passing.

Boboy has an assist while McKissic still hasn't set foot on the field.

Majors dodge a bullet as holding on fourth down negates a 1-yard TD plunge, and then Biel misses his third field goal of the day from 28 yards. It's now 21-10 Trinity with Millsaps driving near midfield with about two-thirds of the third quarter gone.

Ron Boerger · October 27, 2012, 04:23:32 PM

The Millsaps drive stalls after three incomplete passes ... Trinity gets it back and Mason Blaschke extends the lead to 28-10 with a 48-yard TD run. That's 203 yards for the young man from Cuero, TX.

SAA week 9 predictions:

Centre travels to   Austin. Centre too much for the Kangaroos, by 17


Rhodes @ Sewanee Battle for the Edmund Orgill Trophy since 1954, overall series dates back to 1899 (oldest in the South). Tigers make it two wins in a row, winning at Rhodes last year. Tigers by 7.

Millsaps @ Trinity (Tex.) Trin Tigers too much at home win by 17.

Centre 17-0 over Austin...WOW!!!!

Not sure everyone knows that The Colonels spent almost 12 hours at the airport last night.

bang-bang in SA

Beautiful 85 yd pass by Pinciotti to Joplin makes it 28-17.
61-yard return by Kennemer and then 31-yard pass by Blaschke to Lytal to make it 35-17 Trinity.

Fourth quarter underway. Millsaps just converted a fourth-and-three and is at midfield.

Shoreman · October 27, 2012, 04:47:24 PM

Sewanee kicks go ahead field goal with 7:53 left in 4th.

10-7 Tigers

Ron Boerger · October 27, 2012, 04:55:28 PM

Millsaps has closed to 35-24, held Trinity to a three-and-out, has the ball in Trinity territory again. They've gone to a bit of a hurry-up and are gaining yardage in big chunks. Pinciotti is having all day to throw.

Trinity starting to have some injury issues on defense, too.

Good video today, just not liking what I'm seeing

Shoreman · October 27, 2012, 04:56:20 PM

Big sack by Sewanee on 4th and 23 with 3:23 to go.

Forces punt, Sewanee ball on their own 15.

Shoreman · October 27, 2012, 05:01:52 PM

Huge punt by JP Boudreaux, Rhodes ball with under 3 minutes to play, inside their 30

Ron Boerger · October 27, 2012, 05:06:46 PM

Millsaps stalls at the 12 and goes for the FG to close it to an eight-point gap, but the ball may have been tipped and the kick was no good. Blaschke gets a big first down on third-and-four and Tigers are trying to run out the clock - still 35-24 with just over two minutes to play and Millsaps starting to take timeouts. TU ball at midfield.
