CEN falls to TRIN, 20-13. CEN Qb fumble at TRIN 29 and TRIN recovers at the 3:29 mark of 4th qtr to seal the game. CEN still hasn't found the player leadership required to win. Maybe next week.😉

CEN searching for leadership amongst the team. Still MIA. 😉

Was able to catch the 1Q and part of the 2Q of the Trinity-Centre game before the SAA app rolled over and died on me. It looked like both teams were playing with the mindset of "who least wanted to lose vs. who most wanted to win".

Berry is only up 3-0 against Millsaps at the start of the third.

And that "School By The Zoo" is up 14-3 against my Tigers early in the 3Q.

And then Berry puts up two touchdowns to move to 17-0 with 6:33 left in the 3Q.

And, goodness gracious, just what is Stretch Internet using for content distribution? The feed of the BC-MIL game spends more time spinning trying to load than it does actually playing the feed.

So it wasn't just me. I eventually gave up on the Centre-TU video for the same reason.

I ended up having to switch to a wired connection on my work network rather than my home network. And still wasn't able to get the feed to behave until I tweaked some QoS settings in my production router.

That said... Millsaps is trying to get something going but they're still down two scores at 17-7 with 13:25 in the 4Q. Berry may be able to put the game away if they get a sustained drive going with this possession.

I know Stretch was working actively on figuring out its CDN or server issues during the afternoon and by the time the CT games hit the fourth quarter, everything I watched was humming.

Rhodes gets into the win column against Sewanee, 14-3. The Lynx outgained the Tigers 406-182 in a game with only two turnovers despite the two teams combining to put the ball on the ground eight times.

In a game where the offensive outputs were surprisingly even (314-309), Berry eased past Millsaps 31-14. Neither Viking starting QB Heath Burchfield (5-23, 1 TD, 109 yards of which 69 came on one play) or Gavin Gray (6-13 for 59 & a score) were terribly effective, but five turnovers by Millsaps (against none by Berry) were the Majors' downfall.

Hendrix surprised B-SC, 34-24, but it was Kip Vanhoose's rushing, rather than the passing of Miles Thompson, which led Hendrix to victory. Vanhoose amassed 214 yards rushing on only 17 carries and is a likely choice for conference offensive POTW. His 74-yard TD run came a couple of plays after B-SC had closed to within 3 with just over a minute left in the first half. That said, Thompson was no slouch on the ground himself, adding 76 yards (and a 41-yard scoring run) to the 154 gained through the air.

Not sure what was going on, but both teams' QBs were off just a little on their passes, usually just a bit high. Also several WRs dropped passes that were in their hands, again both teams. It was very hot and humid, so it could have been sweaty hands affecting the grip of the ball.

Millsaps had a great defensive first half. Their punter kept Berry pinned deep on several drives. They tipped a FG attempt once after an early fumble recovery.

Those 2 TDs at the start of the second half changed the complexion of the game. First play from Berry was a long TD, then on the Majors first drive, a Pick 6. Made the game 17-0 and really took the game away from Millsaps.

Hey, Berry fans

You guys are having fun down there, aren't you? 4 - 0 to start the season? Although I'm way up here in Ohio, I am keeping track of your progress. You have a fan here.
Good luck from here on out. Go Vikings!

Good game in the blazing sun in San Antonio today. Closer than the final 52-35 score would indicate between Trinity and AC with the Tigers coming out on top. Game of spurts, with Trinity taking a 14-2 lead then AC going on top 15-14. Trinity then got another little run, taking a 28-15 lead before the 'Roos tied it up. Trinity THEN jumped ahead 38-28, the 'Roos cut it to 38-35 but Trinity got its final run over the last 9 minutes to pull away.

This was definitely a game where the Trinity special teams, other than a missed field goal, arguably won it. Fake field goal for a TD, blocked punt that led to a touchdown, and a blocked PAT.

Agree. Trinity return teams also gave them great field position. Your QB Collins hit some huge passes after the first quarter - and AC put more points on Trinity than HSU and Berry combined!

The tide finally turned IMO in the second when TU started having some success running the ball, which took the edge off the 'Roo rush that was blowing up the Tiger passing scheme. That, and rolling Messex out and away from Nichols who had been a monster.

Hope all your guys are OK, saw a lot of them down but hopefully was mostly cramps/heat.
